- 9:19effective.
- 9:19It

- 9:43That's
- 9:43in
- 9:44the
- 9:44worst
- 9:44case
- 9:45scenario
- 9:45cuz

- 38:45zero
- 38:45effect
- 38:45in

- 39:00few
- 39:00months
- 39:00ago,
- 39:01certainly.
- 39:03And
- 39:03I
- 39:03think
- 39:03that

- 39:05If
- 39:05your
- 39:05annuals,
- 39:06it's
- 39:06really
- 39:06less
- 39:07of
- 39:07an
- 39:07impact.
- 39:07If
- 39:07you're
- 39:07transient,
- 39:08it's
- 39:08gonna
- 39:08be

- 39:09And,
- 39:10we've
- 39:10seen
- 39:11considerable
- 39:11change
- 39:11of
- 39:12mix,
- 39:12right?
- 39:13We,
- 39:13our
- 39:14transient
- 39:14mix
- 39:15has
- 39:15dropped
- 39:15and
- 39:15our
- 39:15seasonal
- 39:16actually
- 39:16has
- 39:16gone
- 39:16up.
- 39:17Part
- 39:17of
- 39:17that
- 39:17is,
- 39:18we've
- 39:18changed

- 39:49then
- 39:49this
- 39:49will
- 39:50probably
