Yeah, it's big. It's big. And look, people laugh and they cry. And again, back to the earnest thing, it's impossible to talk about this topic and not be earnest. But the show itself is not really a feel-good show. It's the making of a feel-good show.

Sure. In this episode, one of the things that is at the top of the list in the care portal is a need for beds. So many kids sleep on the floor in this country. Break your heart.
