That's actually phenomenal. Oh, okay. Okay. Some people are really excited when they have like a 20% open rate. 42%? Yes. I know I opened mine, maybe. I don't think so. You're such a liar. And joining me, of course, is my friend and my co-host, Andrew Babinski. Also the co-host on the morning show, 99.9 FM. Have you gotten all Christmas yet? No. We, well, yes, it's tomorrow. Oh, is it?
