It's the show that invented news.

This is the Daily Show with your host, Dulce Sloan. Hello friends, welcome to the Daily Show. I'm your host, Souset Slo! Slow! They're the fosts around the real one host of the Daily Show! They don't fost around the real one host of the Daily Show! Okay, listen, we've got a great show for you tonight, so let's get into the headlines. Let's kick things off with some big news. Okay, first of all, today is Joe Biden's 81st birthday.

Brin, bipipin, brin, or bin, b-b-b-b-orb. Or, B. Bn, b-b-bbee-b-b-b-or. Or, b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b- Yeah, all the polls are saying Biden's too old, and he's like, fuck that, I'm going to get even older. There were so many candles on his cake, I thought it was another Canadian wildfire! But enough about one of the world's oldest leaders, because we've got breaking news about one of its newest. Argentina is waking up to a new president, one who has the stamp of approval from Donald

Trump. A massive political shakeup in Argentina. Javier Malay, far-right economist and television personality, joined the political fray just three years ago. Now he's in charge of the third largest economy in Latin America as it teeters on the edge of disaster. Malay rode to power on a wave of popular discontent over a stagnating economy with a 40% poverty rate and inflation nearing 150%. He became known for his unorthodoxak showmanship during the campaign, wielding a chainsaw to symbolize his war on government spending,

threatening vital public services. Minister of Tourism and Deportes. Afwera. Minister of Culture. Afoire. Minister of Ambienierreter the Ambienier and Disarue and Development Sustainable. AFuila. Ministeria the Women's and Gener and Diversity. A Fouera. Ministeria of the Publicas.

A Fouria. Hang on. Evil Austin Powers wants to get rid of the environment, women, and culture? That's everything you need to have a country. But I mean, of course, this guy got elected. He had a chainsaw. You can't say no to somebody holding a chainsaw. That's how I get my seat on the subway. First Trump, now this, how come every time a TV personality gets elected, they're a psychopath.

They're a psychopath? Why can't you vote for someone good like Steve Harvey? Look, the man's got a thousand jobs. What's one more sidegiv? And the guy isn't just a normal right-wing guy. He's a weird dude. He carries a chainsaw around. He cloned his dog. He's a tantric sex coach. Why a tantrick sex coach is always ugly?

What, like, imagine this human pile of mashed potatoes. Standed naked in pile of mashed potatoes, standed naked in front of you saying, don't f- f-yeat. You're like, sir? Mm-hmm. I promise you I won't. In fact, I'd like to go.

But as weird as he is, the inflation in that country is insane, so I get it. You'd vote for this middle-aged werewolf too if the price of milk was the same as a Beyonce ticket. At its worst, inflation in America was 9%. In Argentina, it's 143%. I mean, that's the difference of... I went to a Georgia public school, but listen, I know that's not good, right? I was a theater major, don't ask me math questions, right? But I don't know if this is the guy to fix their economy. How can he control inflation when he can't control his own sideburns?

I mean, it looks like this Argentinian needs a Brazilian. So, let's move on to some consumer news. This week, we're all going to the grocery store to stop up for Thanksgiving, turkey, sweet potatoes, and hopefully canberry sauce and I can. Nobody wants to eat that fancy shit with real cranberries in it. Ugh. But this year when you go to checkout, you might notice something different. Like a real life person.

And a possible shift in the shopping experience when it comes to the self-checkout line. In October, the Atlantic declared self-checkout a failed experiment. Retailers are taking note, and some are making big changes. In England, a grocery store chain called Booths is now getting rid of all self-checkout in all of its stores. In September, Walmart announced that it will remove the self-checkout lanes from some stores. Retailers may be motivated here by their bottom line. The rate of theft is about double in self-checkout lanes from some stores. Retailers may be motivated here by their bottom line, the rate of theft is about double in self-checkout lanes. Thank God!

Thank God, I hate self-checkout lanes. Why am I doing the work? I don't work here. What's next? They're gonna ask us to slice our own deli meat? Butcher our own cows, grow our own diet coke? What? Sir, I'm a businesswoman, not a farmer. And what if you're too good and self-checkout? They come and make you become a manager and you can never leave.

And how are they going to give us a hard time for stealing when they make it so damn easy? I mean, all you do is just to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to th th to th to th to th their th th to to their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their our their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their own their own their own their own to their own to to to to to to to to to to to their own own own to their own their own their own their own their own their own their own thethey going to give us a hard time for stealing when they make it so damn easy? I mean, all you do is just press the wrong button. Like oh, I'm getting organic cucumbers for regular cucumber prices. Oh. Oh. Oh. Silly, silly me.

Back in my day, you had to earn it. You had to sneak a two-liter of Fanta out the store with your wide-leg jeans. Now that's what's dealing with stealing! And every time I have to look up produce on one of those things, I feel like I'm in a spelling bee. Like, oh, your word is radicio. R-A.A. Man, fuck, I'm stealing this shit. I don't work too.

And finally, let's talk about artificial intelligence. We all know AI is coming for our jobs, but we didn't know it was coming for our hearts, too. An AI girlfriend service has stopped working after Forever Voices founder, John Meyer, was arrested on suspicion of attempting to set his own apartment on fire. Unsurprisingly, users were angry and disappointed at the sudden disappearance of their AI girlfriends. While the service was not originally designed to function as an adult service, internet users quickly began having sexual conversations with the chat bots, resulting in an AI

that became increasingly erotic. It's unclear whether users can expect the service to return to operation in the future. Hold up, hold up. So a bunch of dudes lost their AI girlfriends when the owner of the company set his own apartment on fire? How can you trust him with humanity's newest invention when he can't handle humanity's first invention? But this guy gets arrested and suddenly the AI girlfriend stops responding? Hmm. That's suspicious. Alexa don't stop when Jeff Bezos takes a nap.

Makes me think he was the girlfriends the whole time. And I feel bad for those guys having an AI girlfriend. Has to be harder than having a real girlfriend. Being romantic must be a challenge. You try to take a sexy bubble bath with your laptop and now you're both dead. Or how do you even get her in the mood? Whenever she gets wet, you have to put her in rice. All right, for more analysis on this AI girlfriend tragedy. Y'all nasty, see, you're nasty.

All right, for more analysis on this AI girlfriend tragedy, let's go live to Ronnie Chang! Wow, what are those lonely guys going to do without their AI girlfriend? Easy, don't say. We can solve two problems at once here. Okay? You just take those lonely guys and hire them to be the checkout cashiers, right? That way we all get better service and these guys will have plenty of chances to be the checkout cashiers, right? That way we all get better service and these guys will have plenty of chances to meet women because as we all know women be shopping. That's an offensive stereotype Ronning everyone be shopping and even if these men meet a woman they still don't know how to talk to one. That's

why they need these computer bitches in the first place. Okay look if these men meet a woman, they still don't know how to talk to one. That's why they need these computer bitches in the first place. Okay, look, if these guys love AI women so much in that case, they can just date the self-checkout machine. All right? Look, the machines already have female voices, right? Like, who doesn't want to spend a cold winter's night, cuddled up, hearing someone whisper, please return your items to the bagging area. I just think we got to do something to fast-track AI girlfriends to these lonely sexist money before they start on the capital again. Yeah.

Not a year. That's fair. You know what you have to understand is it's very complicated to program an AI girlfriend, okay? Because men are too demanding and insecure. Like the AI girlfriend has to be smart, but not too smart. It has to know everything about Star Wars, but still listen to the guy explained Star Wars. It has to be like a dirty slot but also a virgin.

Like in programming we call this the in-cell paradox. All right? Now, scientists are working hard to solve it, but unfortunately, they are also a bunch of loser in-cells. And this is why we need more women in STEM, okay? Because somebody, please, somebody please, somebody please, f-shh, guys. I agree, f'c's those guys.

I never realized being an AI girlfriend was so complicated. Yes, but the good news is an AI boyfriend is very doable, all right? In fact, I already have my own AI boyfriend startup. We have hundreds of clients. It's very successful. In fact, I already have my own AI boyfriend startup. We have hundreds of clients. It's very successful. I'm a rich man. I didn't know you knew how to program AI software? Oh, yeah, yeah, it was easy.

No matter what the girlfriend says, the AI boyfriend just responds with three things. You're right. I'm sorry. And you're right to be mad. You're right to be mad. Ronnie, the idea that a woman only needs to hear three things is ridiculous. You're right. I'm sorry and you're right to be mad. Thank you Ronnie Chen.

Thank you. I know you want the good one. Ronnie Chang, everybody! When we come back, we'll see what it takes to get your period, so don't go away. Thank you. Thank you, honey. Thank you, honey. Ten. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah. to the true. to paramount plus.

This is Dr. Frazier. thawn to you. this is Dr. took. He's back again. Hey, dad. I got a question about.

toask. And he's more Frazier than ever. How do I look? Rich. Just when I was going before. Oh my God, they traded your baby for wine! Do you really think we would trade John for white Zinfandel? Or any wine? Frazier, new season streaming September 19th on Paramount Plus. Welcome back to the daily show. Since the beginning of time, women have had periods and men have not understood just how bad they are. But recently, a company developed a machine that simulates period cramps and men have not understood just how bad they are. But recently, a company developed a machine that simulates period cramps and better believe the first thing I did was hook it up to some

men. Ready? I haven't even started yet. Okay. Oh, oh. I feel like this, like standing like this, helps. Mmm, mm-mm. Sit down for a second.

Oh, God. Yeah. Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa. Oh, y'all. Oh, you're sitting now? You think you could do work right now? Uh, no, I don't. I don't.

Hi! Streaming soon on Paramount Plus. This is Dr. Frazier Crane. I'm listening. He's back again. Hey dad, I got a question about punctuation. Ooh! No, stay on task. And he's more Frazier than ever. How do I look? Rich. Just what I was going to do. Oh my God, they traded your baby for wine!

Do you really think we would trade John for white Zinfandel or any wine. Frazier, new season streaming September 19th on Paramount Plus. Welcome back to the daily show. My guest tonight is an award-winning best-selling author and illustrator whose picture book is called Big. Please welcome Vashy Harrison. My guest tonight is an award-winning, best-selling author and illustrator whose picture book is called Big. Please welcome Vashy Harrison. Okay, hi. Hi, thank you for coming. Thanks for having me.

I'm going to steal your jacket. First of all, I love this book. I love, love, love, love this book. Oh, I can't cry. Um, the illustration for this book are beautiful. And I was looking through it, it made, they're very emotive, and it actually made me think of looking at a memory. I think it's the best way to look at it because like in the book, there's no, I like

an illustration that there's on like lines. Like usually when you see like a cartoon like this, like what comes first? The drawings or the text? For me it happens at the same time, but drawing is always where I get my ideas. But what you're picking up on is something that I absolutely put into the book. I wanted it to feel soft, wanted it to feel really internal. So I hope that that comes thrown that that th through that that th through that that th through that th through that comes th through that's th through thi that comes thi thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thoomoomoomorrow, the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their, their, their, their their, their their, their their their their their their their their their their their their their, their, their their through for everybody. That's exactly what I thought because we're like, well, it's beautiful. And I was like, no, this looks like, because it's like the, like this is the first book

that you've written and illustrated. And was it scary to do both of those? Yeah, absolutely. So I've written nonfiction before. And so I can feel really excited and proud to share the stories of other people, especially incredible people from history, but to share something about my life that came from, you know, something really internal and to put that all on the page is terrifying and scary to write things and share them with people. But that's the process of making art. No, I'm a stand-up comic. So it's like, oh, I hope these words I say people like them because it's

like as a comic the first time you go on stage with the joke it's like for information like I need to know if this is funny or not and then every time you do the joke it's for confirmation so like I know the joke is funny I just need you to catch up to where I am but the first look for a couple of times you're like hey man I don't the the the th I I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I don't they they th I they th I they they th they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they th I th I to to to to to to to try to to tell to the to the to the the the the the the they're they're they they they they know what I'm doing. But the first look for a couple times you're like, hey man I don't know if I said these words right. I don't know if they're gonna like the words in this order and then you gotta figure out and sometimes it's like it just don't work. Yeah. Doing events for kids like the same thing. I feel like I'm doing stand up. their jokes, waiting for them to connect with the story. And if they don't like it, then I haven't done my job correctly.

Oh yeah, I used to do kids' birthday parties. I've had a lot of jobs. Every time I'm in the office, I'm like, you used to work where? I'm like, hey man, don't worry about that. You ask their focus. So obviously the title big connotes like a physical size, but in the book, big means that and like a lot more. So can you talk about what the bigness means here? Yeah, I was thinking a lot about how we as adults

use words with children. When kids are young, we use big as a word of affirmation. We say, you're such a big girl. You're a big girl now, and that's a good thing. But typically, with girls and all children, big changes meaning. And I wanted to trace how that word can go from a word of affirmation into something different for a child's life. Oh yeah, because I remember being a big girl.

Yeah. girl. And when that day happens I think you're like I don't know 11 and then it's like oh you're such a big girl like oh she's a big big girl. Right and you remember that. Yeah because like that why it was so interesting to me is because like this is semi-autobiographical right so the main character gets stuck in like a baby swing and y'all I've seen the baby swing at a swing set and, you know, thought like, I shouldn't get in this thing. But you did try. Like we all tried.

So is this something that actually happened to you, like getting stuck in that swing? Yes. So the girl in the book is not me. She doesn't have a name, but the experience of getting stuck in the swing in the swing in the swing in the swing in the swing in the swing in this the swing in the girl in the book is not me. She doesn't have a name, but the experience of getting stuck in the swing was real and it happened to me. And I remember it. I remember the fear and the anxiety and the shame that I felt as a young child. And I wanted to kind of make a book that acknowledged that those feelings are big and sometimes can trap us in and box us in and express how those feelings can be really overwhelming for a young person. So why doesn't she have a name? Because I was reading the book because this is a page turner even at my big age.

Um, why doesn't she have a name? Well I didn't want her story to be mine. I wanted many people to be able to look at the girl in this book and maybe connect with her, feel empathy for her, and thusly feel compassion for her experience. But when I started writing it, I really wanted it to be a wordless book. Right now, there's only a handful of words in the book, but it would have been great to just tell everything through the pictures. Yeah, because I was like looking at it and I think because it looks like a memory and it's a little girl that looks like me and because she didn't have a name, I was like, oh, I remember being on the swing set and being so afraid to try to get in it and try to get in that baby and try to get in that baby, and that, that, and th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, tho, tho, th, the, thi, tho, tho, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look tho, look th look th look th look th look th look th look th, look th, look th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, look th, look tho, look tho, look tho, looks tho, looks, looks, looks, tho, looks, tho, tho, tho, looks, looks, looks, tho, looks, looks, look, looks like, thi thi thooooooo really have no business trying to get in this baby but I would see other girls get into it I'm just

like oh where is the rest of her legs? Um yeah it's why are her legs she's nine why are her legs only as big as a toddler like we shouldn't be upset that I'm so big why she's so small like what? Somebody call somebody call somebody because I feel like she needs help at home. But that was my way of like processing the fact that this nine-year-old girl could fit in a baby swing and I couldn't. Because I love the use of the color pink in the book.

Is that where you add in like the softness? Or was it because it was a classic like girl color and she's a dancer? Like what was the choice to use that color? There were a couple of different reasons. So the main character is a dancer, she loves ballet. Typically when I work on a book I usually assign a color to a character and try to use that to build a palette and specifically in this book were in her world so everything is that color pink. I wanted it to be a symbol for sweetness and innocence, but also in color psychology,

pink is associated with gentle love and care, and that's everything that I want for this girl. So you were trying to give her the moment, because I think a lot of times as like girls, girls, we're given womanhood much older than we should be. And because I think for me I got womanhood much older than I should be because I was, well let's just say when I was nine years old I had like seas, right? So the first time I hit a man hit on me it was nine. But I had a butt, I had big boobs and I was wearing a suit.

So because I couldn't wear little girl clothes because they didn't make little girl clothes in women's sizes. So I was looking at size nine shoes in a suit and this man comes in and just like, what's your name? And I had to turn around and go, I'm nine. And he was like, no! What do you mean? And my mother went, what the hell? And he ran out of a the the the the the thia, and thia, and thia, and tha, and tho, and tho, and tho, and th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thin, thi, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, th a Miami pay list. And so without going at first, why does she look like this?

And then he ran outside. But it was like, when you're built like a time, because I was also like four, like I was five feet tall. So when you look like a tiny woman, or you're the size of a whole woman, but you're nine, nine. Everyone's like well you should have all these responsibilities and it's like but I got dolls yeah for Christmas so I'm not a double-digit age but everyone's like you get all this responsibility and I think it's like that's why I like looking at this because I was like oh this is the girl should have. Because we should get to be little.

So I think I'm going to ask you the next question. I want to talk about that. I do want to toubts on that. Hi, I want to talk about it. I want to talk about that because one of the main reasons I wanted to write this story was to touch on the subject of adultification bias, the adultification of black girls. I, early in my career, I'd read the study that came from the Georgetown Law Center on Poverty and Inequality called GirlHid Interrupted that talked about this specific bias

that many adults have on black girls. It found that adults view black girls as young as the age of five, as less innocent and more adult than their white counterparts. And this results in young girls receiving less care and less nurturing. And so many different things factor into it, including a child's height, age, skin color, body size and weight. And I just wanted to reclaim space for children to grow, for their bodies to look different, to offer them the innocence and gentleness and care that they deserve for as long as they need it. Yeah, because you find out like black girls get, out of all girls in school, they get suspended

as a higher rate. Exactly. As if like they're doing more wrong, but like black children and brown children get suspended at a higher rate. Because it's like, I don't know if we're throwing hands better than white girls, but it's very interesting because it's like you use the words like creative and compassionate and kind to describe these, you know, describe her character. And it's like, I think a lot of times like a young girl, if you're allowed to even be little, you know, you get like a lot a the the the the the to to to to to to to to to to their their their th a th., like a thrown thrown thrown thrown thrown thrown, throw thatheing, throw thatheing, throw thrown, throwing, throwing, throwing, throwing, throwing, throwing, throwing, throwing, throwing, throwing, throwing, throwing, throwing, throw, thu and thu and thu and th............., thin, thin, thin, throw, throw, throw, that, throw, that, that, that, like, throw, like, like, like, that, like, thrown, like, like, throw, throw, throwing, throw, thrown, thrown, thrown, throwe, thrown, th a lot of times like a young girl, if you're allowed to even

be little, you know, you get like a lot of cute or pretty. Like do you think it affects girls to hear different words like compassionate and kind, like giving words that are more described, like descriptors of person, just adjectives of personality as opposed like appearance? Yeah, I think I just want for all kids to be able to define who they are. Adults will make mistakes, they will say things, words, that we don't know what's gonna stick with kids, but I wanted to clarify for this girl

and for any kid that reads this book, that you get to choose what's important and real for you. You don't have to hold on to tothat doesn't define you. You get to decide that for yourself. There's one page in here and I want to know can I show the page in the book that she goes through and I'm not going to spoil it for people because you have to see her grow and grow in the changes that she goes to but there's one page. Almost there. That I think you know know the fact exactly exactly exactly exactly exactly exactly exactly exactly exactly exactly exactly exactly exactly the fact exactly the fact the fact the fact the fact that that that that that's that's the that's that's that's that's that's the that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's the. I'm that's that's that's. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm to be. I'm to be. I. I. I. I to. I. I to. I to. I. I to. I to. I to. I to. I to. I to. I the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the. I'm. I'm the the the the the the the the th. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. the the te. I'm. I'm. the. I'm. I'm. the. I'm. I'm. I think you know the fact exactly the page I'm talking about, where me and our makeup artist Enid was literally crying in the makeup room. And I don't know if you know how crying in the makeup room works, but it's basically you just tilt your head back and you catch the tears. Because Enid is an amazing makeup artist, but it's just like like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, the, the, the, the, the thi, thine, the thine, thine, thine, thine, thine, thine, thus, thus, thus, thin, thin, thin, thi, thi, th, the thi, thin, th, th, th, the makeup artist, the makeup artist, the makeup artist, the makeup artist, the makeup artist, the makeup, the makeup, the makeup, the makeup, the makeup, the makeup, the makeup, the makeup, the makeup, th, th, the makeup artist, th, th, th, th, th, the makeup artist, the makeup artist, the th, the the th, the th, the thin, the thin, thin, thi, thin, thi, thi, thi, thi, they, they, thi, they, thi, the makeup artist, the makeup artist, the makeup artist, the makeup artist, the makeup artist, but it's just like, there's salt on my face now. So, but the thing that we were just like,

that made her stop and made me stop where the little girl goes to the adults, these are yours. These are yours, they hurt me. And so she's holding words. And she said, these are yours, they hurt me. And so I think, like, that's when I was, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, that's that's that's that's that's that's th, that's that's that, that's that's that, that's that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, th, that, that, that, that, that, th, th, th, th. That, th. That, th. That, th. That, th. That, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. That, th. th. that, that, that, that, the that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that's that, that's that's a that's a that's a that, that's a that's a that's a that's a that, that's when I was looking at this I was like this a book for children? Because there are a lot of people that make a lot of money.

My therapist included, who make a lot of money trying to show adults how to love and care for themselves. And I'm just, is there like a grown-up version of this book, can we call like Still Big? Like, can we? How do we? Just a little bit at the top. And then there's just a bad bitch at the bottom. Like that's all I'm saying. Just still big, bad bitch at the bottom.

You might be modeled on me, making a style. I don't know who you want to choose. But, you know, just still big. I think that for everyone, so I'm happy about anyone who needs that book and find something for themselves in it. I think this can be good. If you have anybody who's working on their self-esteem, I think this is something that everyone can resonate with. Because there's a lot of times where just words have just, because I always t like, sticks and stones can break your bones or words. I'm like, I can get over a bruise.

But like I learned with my ex-emotional scars never healed. Don't learn for me. Don't listen to me. I'm not helpful a lot of the time. But I think that is the main thing we have to stop telling that lie. Because I think we tell that the children's for them them them them them them them them them their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their telling that lie. Because I think we say that to children's for them to be able to make this defense mechanism. Because like, you don't remember, like if you remember every time you fell off a bike, you wouldn't get back on a bike.

But you remember, like you don't always remember what they said, but you don't always remember what they said. to remember how can make you feel a certain way, even you forget what they said, your body still remembers. Yeah. And that's why I think I wanted to show the scene in the book where the words are stuck to the girl. It doesn't happen immediately. It happens, you know, over time. And again, like you just don't know what is going to stick with kids. You can't guarantee that things thi to you, but you know, the the the the the the the tho, tho, thi thi thi thi thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th-a, th-soo, thi, their their tho, their their their tho, their their their their their their their their their their their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their their thi, thi, thi, thii, to bea, toe, toean, toge, toooomoomorrow, toe, toe, thoooooooomorrow, their, their, their, their guarantee that things won't stick to you, but you know, over time you can separate out what's good for you and what isn't. I think the page after the page you pointed out is the one that always gets me, which is she hands back the words and says, these are yours, they hurt me. And on the next page, some

of the people say, well, not everyone understood or even listened and some of the people say it's not that serious. It's just a joke You're too sensitive. That's the thing that still still gets me because I am still that girl who Was told that I'm too sensitive for listening to the words that people said to me for letting them them them resonate and for feeling them. Oh, yeah, but that's so real. And kids need often the space and the time to manage those things. Well, you're absolutely right. I want to thank you for coming. And this is available now. We're going to you.
