You know, random rewards or whatever that experiment with the rat stuff or whatever. If you hit the little paddle, food comes out randomly. It makes people keep putting in. Anyway, sorry for all the people who worked at Humane and tried to do good work on what ended up being a not good product.

This is one of the surprising things. This name, in case people were wondering, rumored for a long time, although most people had a capital E, so rumor mill didn't get the lowercasing. And actually, I was surprised by the lower casing as well.

I don't know. I mean, it looks it looks OK being lowercase. I think people will mostly go with the lowercase, but who knows? Like Casey just said the tagline from this, like the final member of the 16 family. And I heard that I was like the 16 family. What is this 16 family you're talking about? You released a bunch of phones at phone time.

You released a bunch of phones at phone time.
And then much later, you came up with another phone and you named it similar. Is this really a family or is this just like a long lost relative? Well, you know, the parents, you know, had a surprise, let's say. But is it? Well, anyway, suffice it to say they they're trying to make this the idea that this is a 16 family.

But I was surprised the the the the rumor mill so so thoroughly just even on these phones, even not like the flagship phones so thoroughly have this phone nailed that. We've been enduring weeks of people with physical mock-ups of this exact phone. And again, the 16E name leaked a long time ago.
