Here you are.

All right. Well, love that. Love that. And it's really amazing for me to be here and just see this and all of you guys' success. I remember listening to you guys. as a fan, I think starting 2019 and see that we're now five years later from a small base going to something like this, it's pretty remarkable to see.

And I don't know about you guys, but I thought maybe to commemorate this moment, it'd be pretty fun I know you don't want to tout your success, so I thought maybe I could do that for you. So maybe we can have a look at some of the amazing stats and achievements you guys have accomplished.

Yeah, but what's really cool for me, too, is just seeing the fandom of the show. So one thing is, you know, obviously seeing the sort of total numbers, but also seeing the fandoms. And you guys added more than 250,000 followers, and that tripled last year, too. So it's over 250,000 followers on Spotify alone now on The Quiet Show, which, again, is pretty remarkable to see that kind of growth.

Well, it's word of mouth in a new way. But the other part that was really cool to me as I was looking through the data, I kind of expected this to be sort of an English language thing only, maybe the US, maybe UK, that kind of thing. But you guys have truly grown worldwide. So, you know, look at some of this stuff. Like you have Mexico growing five times, Hong Kong, Israel, Singapore.
