Last question, James. You've been a divorce lawyer for twenty five years. For men going through a breakup, what advice would you give them? I think you should try to be the man that you would want if your daughter or your sister had a breakup. It is incumbent on us to try to be the change we wanna see in the world. I think that there's a strength we're supposed to embody. I think that masculine energy is supposed to be like an energy of building and structure and protection. And I think that you should try, even when you're upset with a woman or furious with a woman or feel betrayed by a woman, to demonstrate the highest and noblest traits of masculinity. Hello, everyone. This has been your guest, James Sexton. This is the Jack No podcast. It's a lot of fun, Jack. I appreciate you coming on. Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah. Appreciate it. A lot of fun.
