And so his people mostly don't know. Okay. And so but the point is, as Festool group, makes sense? How do we support? Very good.

00:00:47 - [MATT_HOWARD]
Obviously, a relevant portion of that and what our future needs are. I made sure he knew about, you know, marketing ambitions and all these things that we have going on. I talked to him about local kitting, imports from Asia directly into us, you know, all these things that are gonna continue to expand our, you know, possible logistics needs and all those sorts of things just to make sure that he understood the robustness of our future needs. And he he is excited about that. But I wanted you to be aware that as you and Shawn might bristle at some of the existing policies

00:01:20 - [MATT_HOWARD]
Yeah. Just know that he is prepared to be settled.

00:01:26 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
That's good news. I I you know, I said it that one time, but he was he he came across as such a good partner on the one conversation, and then the email kinda seemed like a one eighty. So I'm glad to hear he's not really changed tactics yet. So at all, really. Okay. So, you know, sometimes and he can

00:01:40 - [MATT_HOWARD]
maybe just keep it really hard to get in the battle

00:01:44 - [MATT_HOWARD]
or something like that. Like, you guys wanna do with me or something like that. Yeah. So but I I don't think it's changed at all. In fact, he's pretty excited and getting responded. So so but I just

00:01:55 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
that that piece is a confidential piece. Sure.

00:01:57 - [MATT_HOWARD]
I don't know it. I'm not supposed to tell anybody, but I wanted you to have that context going into the next months knowing that that he is actually. And so, occasionally, even though you don't know that's happening, you might suggest a different way of thinking. Okay. Yeah. Got it. Knowing that they're that burned, especially when he's in three.

00:02:16 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
Okay. Thinking about that, and he's

00:02:17 - [MATT_HOWARD]
got an external resource at some point before they come public. I just don't know

00:02:21 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
Did he give you a timeline for what he's looking for? Like, just so I have kind of an idea of what that looks like. He is he is putting it out. I don't if some RFQ, but he's he's shopping actively now. Okay. And he's hoping to have somebody in the building in a month. Awesome. Okay. It'd be nice as he goes along if we could have maybe a seat at some of those tables, but, you know, all all are in head spots. So It just actually has to be

00:02:46 - [MATT_HOWARD]
a little table. So Yeah. So

00:02:48 - [MATT_HOWARD]
we're kids with him and and if he happens to also tell you, that's great.

00:02:53 - [MATT_HOWARD]
But in the meantime, you don't know anything.

00:02:55 - [MATT_HOWARD]
Perfect. But you but but except for the fact that he's a flexible guy, he's interested in

00:03:00 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
the best strategy that fits the future needs. Got you. Okay. That's perfect. Thank you, sir.
