I don't know, I feel like 2021 has been such a whirlwind, which I'll take over the complete show that was 2020, but sure, but that's setting a pretty low bar. I mean, that's not really.

0:12.0

This is better than actual hell, like in a fire.

0:17.0

And then literally.

0:19.0

Yes.

0:20.0

Like the actual world of actual hell, like where you are just burning in, you know, a hellscape forever, like in actual fire, your body's being torn apart, you're being tortured, you know, you have to listen to Dave Matthews band, all of that.

0:32.0

Oh, can you imagine?

0:33.0

So 2020 was indeed not as bad as that, but yeah, definitely not a ton better.

0:51.0

I know we've been down on Apple music recently.

1:32.0

And if you like crash test dummies, it's a very weird band to like because every album is radically different than the other albums.

1:38.0

And what they did after this, they had like one album I liked a worms life and then everything after that, I'm like, I'm out.

1:44.0
