Oh, one last thing. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. If you are a tweet bot or Twitter

0:03.8

or a person on the show, I didn't even think about this.

0:06.1

Oh, that's too late. I'm sure you're talking about on the talk show. No, we did.

0:09.2

Well, either way, either way. Well, it wasn't. Well, there's nothing it was out yet.

0:12.3

It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. All right. The point is, if you are a tweet
