I would take that. Yeah. But I like to think of myself more like an Austin Reeves guy. Like if I need to, like Jury Duty, for example, was an idea that kind of I originated with another producer, Todd Schulman. And we were kind of figuring out how could we... Todd worked with Sasha and I worked with Eric Andre, did Bad Trip. And we're like, how can we take what we did and put that in TV?
