Yeah, and look at you. You're one of the top podcasters in the world and you get millions of views and it works. And the people that spend so much money on optimizing for the best sound, for the best studio, they get like 300 views, you know? So what is this about? This is about that... either you do it really well, or also that a lot of these things don't matter.

And you should probably do it yourself. Like you can use Photia, but it's even more fun if you do it yourself. So you train the models. You can learn about like control nets. Control net is where, for example, your photos in your podcast are usually like from the angle, right? So you can create a control net face pose that's always like this.

Do you play with lighting, with pose, with the... Man, actually, like this week or recently, there's a new model came out that can adjust the light of any photo, but also AI image with stable diffusion. I think it's called ReLight. And it's amazing.
