Everybody needs money. That's why they call it money.

From full global headquarters, this is Motley Fool Money.

It's the Motley Fool Money Radio Show. I'm Chris Hill joining me this week.

Senior analyst Jason Moser and Ron Gross. Good to see you as always gentlemen.

Hey, how you doing Chris? It is earnings, Paloza. There are so many big earning stories to get to.

It was hard to imagine this not being a strong core given the signs that we've seen in ad spending.

Very impressed, not surprised because when you look at the global digital ad market,

spending is forecast to grow from around $265 billion in 2020 to around $425 billion in 2024.

And clearly alphabet in Google, they're going to be a part of capturing that.

As to the numbers, revenue of $55.3 billion of its up 32% constant currency,
