Lauren has just received these questions and voicemails. Katie Bishop, our supervising producer, has collected them all. I don't know what these questions are, and Lauren is seeing them right now for the first time. So we are coming to these for us. She's kind of curated, picked through all of your questions. If we don't get to your question, there's always next year.

But, yes, if I can get good Vietnamese food, that's – and when I order at a Vietnamese restaurant or a pho restaurant, what I would get is beef broth, but hold the beef, tofu, and vegetables, right?
