So again, Crooked.com slash friends.
But mostly thank you for listening.
And also Michael wanted me to point out, Ben, that the Liz Trust show only has 16,000 subs.
Does that mean he's still watching?
Are you still watching?
Are you hate watching?
You're such a sicko.
Well, we've got one.
Maybe just a comical hate watching.
Yeah.
Maybe her staff.
Maybe her staff has got a bot farm in China.
I'm going to keep this going, guys.
I'm going to keep it going.
Okay.
Let's start with the biggest story in the world right now, Ben, which is Iran.
So these protests, we've been covering this for a couple of weeks now, and the protests have only gotten bigger since we last recorded.
Just quickly on the backstory, the protests started in late December when shopkeepers in Tehran, they took to the streets to express their anger after Iran's currency, the rial, plunged in value.
So the rial has lost half of its value since September.
So it's been brutal for anyone, any Iranian citizen.
