I took that as a personal nod to Kevin, thank you that they recognize that all of the content they have in there is not a podcast that they're like, technically, it's not a podcast, but it's, you know, like the Joe Rogan show is not a podcast right now. It's a show. So I really appreciate it that Spotify is trying to win me over.
