is that the HBO brand doesn't resonate for me in the way it does for you because I'm less of a TV guy, which is why I shouldn't really be weighing in on what HBO Max should be doing in terms of branding because I'm not really the person the target consumer.
But what is striking to me is it just sort of reverses all of the intention behind the merger in the first place, where the idea was we're going to merge with Discovery, take all of the Discovery product offering and all the Discovery IP, and we're going to kind of try to blend it together.
