Yeah, sure. But I mean, like, who wouldn't be, you know, feeling like, oh, I don't want to just go down, you know. But it's just such a crazy world now that the cultural moment that you have for something. I actually like being on Apple because they don't drop everything at once. We get to have an episode every week. And I think for our show, that benefits our show.

Yeah, but, you know, back in the day a little bit. And I haven't done it for a while in, you know, in movies. And it's hard, too.
