So when we wrapped up our show yesterday, we I brought up something that I thought we'd I forgot to talk about on the show.

Massive up to a can spam calls that I'd noticed. And I asked you if you would felt the same way and you said you sure had.

So obviously obviously that that system that we all signed up for and stopped working.
