Kristen Burtz with us, everything.

I've got to mention one thing to kick it off because it was so sweet.

I watch a lot of YouTube because you can get away from all the nasty takes on the far left and the far right.

I mean, there's some weird stuff on there.

Don't get me wrong.

But I do.

I like the stories that they pick out to show you.

And here's an example of why I watch YouTube.

This little kid wakes up.

He's like six years old, I think they said he was.

He's a pretty big kid for a six year old.

But there was this box sitting on the table and they said, well, yeah, this is a part of your

birthday, I think.

I don't know what's in there, but it's, so he opens it up, and there are all these dog toys in there, and they don't have a dog. So the great part of it, he's like, well, what's... Is this just for me to play with? I mean, you get... He keeps going on. All of a sudden, his dad walks in with a dog, and the kid comes apart at the seams. A little pug puppy. A little pug puppy. Well, yeah, that's right. You saw the thing. They really are cute. Oh, my God. They look like little monkeys. Yeah, this kid just fell apart. It was so sweet that he wanted a dog so much that he just couldn't handle it, that finally got a dog it was fantastic see that's the

way i like to start my day right there somebody being happy what about that yeah i like cat

content that's why my algorithm is all cats yeah yeah he was watching something else there was like a

three-year-old that was playing the violin oh my god my God. And he obviously was, you know, nervous, but he was very competent for a three-year-old.

And he can't even imagine.

And then they showed him at 10, I think he was 10, doing a street performance, you know, how they do those in Manhattan where they just...

Yeah.
