And actually, Jon Stewart has a very funny clip, if anyone wants to look it up, where he's comparing the two approaches to, you know, being kind to your wife, as if we didn't have enough reasons to think RFK was a little bit.
I was, yeah.
So we're going to move on to a story about Women's Aid welcoming the introduction of a free travel scheme for survivors of domestic, sexual and gender based violence, which is really brilliant news and something I've never thought of, but such a barrier for women who are in those situations.
How did it come about, this free travel scheme?
And this has been really welcomed by Women's Aid.
The CEO, Sarah Benson, says it's going to be a lifeline for survivors who experience poverty often as a result of financial abuse, coercive control, job loss and housing instability.
It's not something I've thought of in terms of a need that women would have, but it makes perfect sense.
So you had a need for women's aid services in your childhood life?
And do you remember going to the family courts and all of that and those women's aid people being there for you?
I'm glad that you're here able to talk to us all about this.

All the funds raised went to Women's Aid and Sarah Benson, actually the CEO, was up on the stage talking about it.
And she said that statistic about one in three of us will experience it.
And, you know, when you see it like that, it unfortunately is something that so many of us are affected by, including you.
And I'm glad to hear that they helped your family.
And just acknowledging when something's happening that it's real and that you're being impacted by it.
And so we welcome this travel scheme and delighted that it's come in and some nice good news.
We're going to talk a bit about culture because there's a new Irish horror film called Holcombe, which I haven't heard anything about, but you know all about it.
See, horror wouldn't be my thing.
