Put video testimonials from ex-girlfriends up on the screen in the briefing room. I don't know. They played it extremely straight. They asked me for a bio. They read it. They said nice things about our subscriber numbers, which thanks to all of you subscribers for giving us nice subscriber numbers to read. They gave me the first two questions at the briefing. It's been a weird assortment of people.

You know, it's been been guys like Tim Pool, but it's also been, you know, a number of just sort of newer media companies like Notice and Semaphore that just asked kind of. probing good questions about the White House. And that's what I tried to do as well. Like I said, they played it perfectly straight. They brought me out there and let me ask my questions. And it was just kind of a sort of

And so, you know, sometimes they're going to give the question that used to be the Associated Presses to to Tim Pool. Sometimes I guess they're going to give it to me.
