Introducing IVF disrupted, the kind body story.
A podcast about a company that promised to revolution.

it also left behind a stream of disillusioned and angry patients. You think you're finally like

episode of romancing the trend or a page from dofay's local cafeteria um wait did you do you remember
romancing the stone the movie i saw it like very young in a hotel i think when i was like too young
and i think like whenever it first came on hbo or something is when i saw it and i was like i don't
understand any of this i remember there being a part where they're like sliding down a muddy hill
and yeah i was like oh it's like a
a water slide. This is like grown-up
Goonies. It's a, it's a water
park film. No, no, no.
That's like, I'm going to go to my favorite
Kurt Russell movie, Big Trouble
and Little China, okay?
Yeah, yeah. But it's so weird
to have that as a reference,
like that romancing
the bean. Maybe there's like a different
cultural context or it's literally
talking about the tourist.
Yeah, I don't know. It could be. I don't know. I mean, Burbank
isn't the most progressive
city. So I would sooner believe
someone was like a big Kurt Russell
Kathleen Turner fan. And I was
like, and for my second wave coffee
shop, I shall name this
romancing the bean.
Brian the editor said he, for some reason
he has that on Betamax and still hasn't seen
it. I feel like that's the most
appropriate movie to have on the
packaging. Yeah, yeah, yeah. For sure. When you're like, what's
this weird ass tape? Oh, it's a beta max.
Do you know like TV? When I worked at ABC News, like, in
the early aughts, they, TV, like, still had shit on Betamax.
Like, that's what, like, everything...
Yeah, Beta SP was, like, what, all the old, like, B-roll footage that you were pulling from,
like, when you had to, like, dig through the crates of old episodes or old footage, it was on
Betamax.
Now you can just use AI or stock footage from another conflict around the world and just say,
yeah, that's, that's here, fine.
Yeah, yeah.
Let's do that.
Now you, uh, now you just, like, take a, uh,
a little chip implanting your brain and say, I want the news to be this.
Dude, I've seen a little footage for you.
You know, like those stock media websites that, you know, back in the day, we used to be like,
oh, I need some B-roll.
I'll go to like a stock image website or stock video website to buy, like to get some stuff
to put in a video or something.
Yeah. I'm now seeing ads where they're like, don't buy the AI shit.
Look at the difference.
Here's the human made B-roll and here's the shitty AI one.
Don't pick it.
And I'm like, oh, man, you guys are in the fight for your life, too.
Yeah, yeah.
We're all fighting for our lives out here, folks.
When I was, when I worked at ABC News, the executive producer of one of the shows I worked on, was obsessed with, like, shots of the moon.
He would always, like, transition between things with, like, shots of the moon through, like, some tree branches.
So there's just, like, libraries of, like, shots of the moon.
Kind of Iqabod-ass crane, fucking D.P.
Everybody just, like, knew that the, if you wanted to get the existence.
they get a producer on board with your story.
You just like insert a little shot of the moon.
I love that story about the venture capital company.
I love that crossed us all from the moon into a quarter.
That was great.
With a wolf's hell for some reason as it blurs out.
All right.
My name is Jack O'Brien that over there is Miles Gray.
This is the episode where we tell you what is trending on Tuesday, October 7th.
The local GOP in Portland in Oregon is trying to.
to use footage from elsewhere to get people scared of Antifa and the left-wing violence
that is being visited upon our streets.
Because they don't want to see the visuals of someone dressed in like a stitch from
Lilo and Stitch costume or the frog standing outside of the ice facility just sort of
pointing to the absurdity of the entire situation.
They need visceral fire, angry teeth gnashing shit to try and get people to really be like,
well, yeah, I guess you do need to put in the army to stuff.
up the crime or the First Amendment
happening.
But yeah, the at Oregon GOP on Twitter,
they posted like images of protests in South America
to try and make the situation seem much more worse,
like as if this is happening outside of an ice facility.
But again, you can tell how do we know it's not from America?
Because the police shields read Policia, okay?
And I think that's police CIA.
They've put in the police and the CIA together one.
I'm not, yeah, I'm not a poly-sci major.
I'm a poly-CIA major is what I do.
That's what I'm, we're all the poly-CIA majors here.
Obviously, this is America because, I mean, or I guess this could be in America
according to them, because we all remember the iconic.
The way this place is going.
Yeah, it's either that or the iconic NWA song,
Chinga La Policia, that I think that's what they maybe are
referring to. But again, journalists pointed out this nonsense and then the Oregon GOP just replied
with, we aren't journalists. We're just bad memers. Okay. But yeah, I mean, this isn't a surprise
concerning the fact that the bullshit descriptions of what's happening in Illinois, Chicago,
Portland, et cetera, have only increased since Trump was rebuffed by a judge he appointed twice
now. And it's also led to Trump starting to say things like, Portland, what's happening is real
insurrection-y. It's kind of like an
insurrection. Some say, they might be doing an insurrection
there as a way to try and be justified
invoking the insurrection act.
Get real rection vibes over here.
Exactly. You know what I'm saying? Exactly.
Yeah. I mean,
just trying to follow everything,
all the fuckery that ICE is doing
around the country is, like,
I feel like the mainstream media is real.
Like, it's not,
doing the best job.
You really have to, like, go to citizen journalists.
I don't know if it's because the New York Times is afraid of being, like, sued or
or what, but it's really, like, being covered by citizen journalists.
And ICE has now resorted to, they now, like, beat people and arrest people just for
recording, just for having a phone and, like, being there, essentially.
So, I don't know.
It, that, which again, feels like the sort of escalation that the mainstream media should be covering because now a citizen journalists are being arrested and then the citizen journalists covering the citizen journalists being arrested are being arrested and beat in the streets.
Yeah.
I mean, this is the same thing with like, you know, the woman that was shot by ice when she was in her car when they're like, we were getting boxed in by all these, these people.
And like, there's so many conflicting reports about like, they're like, well, that's what you're.
saying as the people to be like, we shot
somebody. Right. But the
evidence doesn't seem to back
that up. And then again, like, I'm reading
the CBS news version of this story about
the woman that was shot in Brighton Park.
Yeah. And they're all
just doing, they're just all talking. They're always
like, well, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office,
according to DHS, according to
CBC, according to ICE agents.
It's just bullshit both sides
official reporting.
Where they're like, we just have to
cover the status quo from
the center, no matter how radically far to the right, the police state gets. We just have to
stand in between them and the people there against and be like, clash. Right. You know,
just call it a clash. I mean, again, like, you read The Guardian and their description of it was sort of
like they were taunting this woman before shooting her and all this other shit going on. And
yeah, you really, at the very least, the clock is really ticking on like mainstream American
journalism because it's just it's every day like you're getting the most outlandish lives being
fed to you as if it's fact yeah you know recent reporting uh are that there's an increase in arrests
and deportations but it's mainly being driven by people with no criminal record uh they're seeing a
dramatic rise in incidents involving people impersonating immigration and customs enforcement
which we talked about that being a danger and them seeing early uh
examples of that but it's happening a lot now like it's there there's a huge spike in that and in the
past it was mainly being done in past administrations was mainly being done to commit financial crimes
against people by being like we're going to deport you unless you like put oh give us money yeah right
now it's being done like violently like you know uh kidnappings yeah gunpoint yeah gunpoint so it's
it's bad out there shout out to the citizen journalists uh who are doing it
you know, who are out there reporting on it.
And, you know, they say if you are there for it, you know, when you're taking video,
obviously be careful, but you want to answer in your video as you're recording when this is
happening, like specifically what day and time that this is happening and where, like,
not just like Los Angeles, but cross streets.
Yeah.
And, you know, if you can possibly get the name of the person who's being detained, you know,
try and get that.
too. That's how you can be most difficult to already track these people, you know, because they're
hiding them from their own lawyers a lot of the time. Yeah. A lot of times what they're doing is like
they'll do a raid and then take them to a nearby second location where they then reshuffle,
you know, probably further abuse people. Like that's where some of, some people are catching them
is like they'll take them to an office parking lot where like five ice vehicles just like
pull up and pull people out and start like hitting them. And then.
And that's where people kind of have been catching them.
Yeah.
Well, you know, again, the one thing that, I mean,
the only thing that gives me any kind of hope is to just see that people actually are sticking up for their neighbors.
You know, like you saw people try and wrestle away someone who's being apprehended.
And they did it successfully.
But, I mean, you know, the values of human beings in this country seem to be mostly intact
when they see someone in their neighborhood get snatched away by masked goons.
for no reason. Obviously, these people being armed to the hilt can, you know, do something to how
much, uh, how much risk someone's willing to tolerate in doing something like that. But, you know,
I think the real scary version would have been if just people were like quiet. Yeah. Being like,
yeah, there they are. The only way they can, they, they can just like abstract the humanity out of
people, but like people still have their humanity intact. It's just like when they make it an abstract
threat with like, you know, videos, bullshit videos of different conflicts and being like,
this is what's coming for you.
You know, that's how they get people.
But when you see another person being treated this unfairly, but not the mainstream media,
apparently, the mainstream media defines that as clash, a clash between, I don't know,
maybe some good news that this is all going to be over in a matter of moments because
the rapture is supposed to happen.
any minute now any minute now we uh any minute now any minute now the guy look we talked about it he
shifted it he was like actually i'm actually should have been going off the julian calendar i was
going off the gregorian calendar so god fucked up not me or maybe i don't know or just like a week
apart i assumed like there two days because i think damn one's like 300 it's like a difference
of like a day and a half so i guess over many years it can be a two
two weeks or some shit. Either way.
Come on, y'all.
I mean, who knows? Maybe it's going to happen
right after we're done recording, and no one listens to this
episode because the rapture took all you good
Christian Zite gang to the kingdom of heaven to be seated
at the right side of the throne.
I don't know which is better, getting to listen to this episode
or getting to sit at the right hand of God
and judge everybody who ever made fun of you.
When you're going into the sky during the rapture,
you can keep your AirPods in.
You know, hold on. Let me just listen to this, man.
I've got one in.
I've only got one in so I can basically
hear you. Sorry, St. Peter, shut the fuck up.
Shut the fuck up. Dude, this is on some,
I'm listening to more Burke's overrated.
Yeah.
It's also a big week
in addition to all the people
who are about to be raptured. Big week for
Donald Trump because the
Nobel Committee is announcing
their prizes and
we don't know
rub your mitts, folks.
Yeah, I mean, so people who, you know, don't pay attention to the Nobel Peace Prize or, like, how it's awarded, or like, I think he's got this one in the bag.
I know.
Because he keeps asking for it.
There's, like, a lot of, you know, betting odds sites that have him, like, on the leaderboard.
What an idiot.
What a stupid thing.
Isn't it vibes-based?
Yeah.
Other people have pointed out that that's not usually how it wins.
and you have to, like, contribute to peace in some lasting peace.
And they do seem to have a...
7,000 wars.
They do seem to have a weird bias towards people who believe in climate change and science,
the Nobel Committee.
Their work.
I'm surprised he hasn't said that already.
Like, he wants it so bad, but he can't denigrate it, exactly.
You know what I mean?
That's always been that, like, he's always wanted the approval of the New York Times.
He's always wanted the approval of, like, the mainstream media, like, SNL.
Well, maybe Larry Ellison can buy the Nobel Committee or something and make it a farce also.
The Oscars.
I stopped that.
I stopped the Infinity Wars.
Obviously, people remember that, the Infinity War with Thanos, they say he couldn't be stopped.
But I broke it to you.
Yeah, we didn't.
Another piece of Nobel Prize news is they awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine,
which went to three scientists for their descendants.
discoveries related to the immune system, and I hear that, and I'm thinking RFK Jr.
I'm thinking he sees people who are immunologically compromised.
I'm thinking Aaron Rogers, yep.
I'm thinking Aaron Rogers.
Aminized famously.
Unfortunately, it went to nobody I'd ever heard of.
One of the winners was actually not even, like he was off the grid.
Oh, I heard about that.
He was like in the Rockies or something shit, right?
He was like hiking in the mountains with his wife as part of a digital detox.
What is he some kind of...
What is he some kind of Nobel genius?
Taking a digital detox, you idiot.
You didn't even hear about your...
I think it was like 12 hours had passed or something.
Yeah.
He didn't know that he had won a Nobel Prize.
A rep from his lab said,
he's living his best life.
Fuck, yeah.
That's where he is.
He only found out about the award
because his wife briefly turned on her phone
when they had to fix something in their car
and saw all the congratulatory texts.
and she screamed and he was, I guess, like, not next to her
and assumed that she was being attacked by a grizzly bear.
Because that's where they were.
Dude, I love this guy, Fred Ramsdell.
Just legend.
He's like, dude, I'm out here just fucking taking a walk, bro.
Put the phone away.
What's that?
What's going on?
Honey, you see a bear?
Yeah.
He won the Nobel.
Whatever.
Whatever.
I'm living my best life either way.
That's right.
Fuck, I thought I was going to get to kill a bear.
Put your gun away, Fred.
He, like, barrel rolls up with a gun drawn.
Like John Wick and shit.
Ramsdale.
Dun-down, down, down, down, down, down, down.
Let's take a quick break.
We'll come right back.

All I know is what I've been told, and that's a half-to-one.
truth is a whole lie. For almost a decade, the murder of an 18-year-old girl from a small town
in Graves County, Kentucky, went unsolved until a local homemaker, a journalist, and a handful of
girls came forward with a story. I'm telling you, we know Quincy killed her. We know.
A story that law enforcement used to convict six people and that got the citizen investigator on
National TV. Through sheer persistence and nerve, this Kentucky housewife helped give justice to Jessica
Curran. My name is Maggie Freeling. I'm a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, producer, and I wouldn't be here
if the truth were that easy to find. I did not know her and I did not kill her or rape or burn or
any of that other stuff that y'all said. They literally made me say that I took a match and struck and
threw it on her. They made me say that I poured gas on her.
From Lava for Good, this is Graves County, a show about just how far our legal system will go in order to find someone to blame.

I'm Jonathan Goldstein,
and on the new season of heavyweight,
I help a centenarian mend a broken heart.
How can a 101-year-old woman fall in love again?
And I help a man atone for an armed,
robbery he committed at 14 years old.
And so I pointed the gun at him and said this isn't a joke.
And he got down.
And I remember feeling kind of a surge of like, okay, this is power.
Plus, my old friend Gregor and his brother tried to solve my problems through hypnotism.
We could give you a whole brand new thing where you're like super charming all the time.
Being more able to look to people in the eye.
Not always hide behind a microphone.
Listen to Heavyweight on the IHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
I started trying to get pregnant about four years ago now.
We're getting a little bit older, and it just kind of felt like the window could be closing.
Bloomberg and IHeart Podcasts present.
IVF Disrupted, the Kind Body Story, a podcast about a company.
that promised to revolutionize fertility care.
Introducing Kind Body, a new generation of women's health and fertility care.
Backed by millions in venture capital and private equity, it grew like a tech startup.
While Kind Body did help women start families, it also left behind a stream of disillusioned
and angry patients.
You think you're finally like with the right people in the right hands and then to find out
again that you're just not.
Don't be fooled.
what all the bright and shiny listen to ivf disrupted the kind body story starting september 19
on the i heart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts
and we're back we're back it can't be denied miles that we are back and uh marjorie taylor
we did right that's a fun bummer man that was really i thought it was going to happen
during the break because as we talk about when we go on a break we cease to exist we exist in a weird
liminal state yeah where we're the sensation you have as a person when you're about to fall asleep
is kind of where we are when we go and we're and we'll be right back and then our eyes roll back
yeah depending on whether you skip the ads or not like the if you listen to the full ads we're
gone for you know two minutes if you skip past the ads we're only gone for like 15 seconds it doesn't
matter because the way we've at the time dilation we experience like being in like a third level
dream and inception is like for jack and i spend 10 years together and that's right three three dreams
deep and then my wife has to give me the kick and then we come out of it and we're back yeah
and i'm soaked i'm not going to say exactly what my little like built-in belief that i have is you know
like his wife has the one where like it's locked away that she's actually in a dream no matter what
level she's at.
Right, right.
I'm not going to say what mine is, but it involves a ride on the Ocean City Boardwalk.
Let's talk about NTG.
Marjorie Taylor Green.
Yeah, dude.
Broken clock.
Broken clock.
Once again.
First time the broken clock, we were like, what the fuck when she's like, we got to get
these Epstein files out.
I don't care what Trump says.
They don't fucking scare me.
They should be scared of the fucking truth.
Now she's come out with an, I guess, coherent take on our current political.
reality. This time she said she's open
to negotiating with Democrats on health
care in order to end the shutdown.
She's come out and said that basically
rising costs are untenable for her
constituents, her family, but
was also sure, this is how you know she's
still in there. She had to shit on
Obama. So this is what she
said. Quote, let's just say as
nicely as possible. I'm not a fan.
But I'm going to go against everyone
on this issue because when the tax credits
expire this year, my own adult
children's insurance premiums from
26 are going to double, along with all the wonderful families and hardworking people in my
district. I was not in Congress when all this Obamacare or Affordable Care Act bullshit started.
The thing that she's talking about that is keeping her kids insurance from doubling.
That's bullshit. Okay, but it would sure go on. It's bullshit. I got here in 2021 as a matter of fact.
The ACA made health insurance unaffordable for my family after it was passed with Skyrocket.
Okay, okay, shut up, shut up, shut up.
Right. So she's just like, I mean, it fucking sucks, and I hate it, but we do need it.
We do need it to- Need this.
Prevent predatory insurance companies from just raising the rates on everybody so that nobody can go to the hospital without going broke.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, look, God bless a broken clock.
And I think she's also doing some Botox, too. She seemed to have a bit of a new, like a more taut forehead.
Hell yeah. That was my main issue with her, was that she, her forehead was not taught enough.
Not taught enough. Yes, exactly. Taughten up that forehead and we'll, now we'll talk. Now I'll think about
just off the DC metro. Yeah. It's just so funny, like their disdain for Obama where they clearly,
did you see the, did we talk about the clip where Trump was talking about how Obama goes downstairs?
He's like, he's just, like, going down his wife.
Hoping down the stairs.
No, you have to...
You know,
like some manosphere shit.
You know, Obama goes downstairs, right?
Disgusting.
He goes down on his wife, gross.
I would never do that.
Unmanly.
Uncle June.
We only go upstairs in this house.
What?
Wait, he says he was making fun of...
DJ Khalid are the only two people
I take advice from in the bedroom.
No, he was talking about...
I forget what this...
Was it maybe the speech?
I don't know if it was the speech.
speech of the Pentagon, but it was some speech, I think, last week, where he was talking about
going downstairs and how you have to be careful because past presidents have fallen down
and it, like, defined their legacy. So you can tell that this is, like, what he's thinking about
and, like, what he's being told. Oh, I think this is it. Hold on. Yeah. Is this it?
You walk nice and easy. You're not having, you don't have to set any record. Be cool. Be cool. When
you walk down, but don't
pop down the stairs.
So one thing with Obama, I had zero
respect for him as a president, but he would
pop down those stairs. I've never said,
da-da-da-da-da-da-pa-pa-pa.
He'd go down the stairs. We wouldn't hold on.
I said, it's great. I don't want to
do it. I guess I could do it. But eventually
bad things are going to happen.
And it only takes once.
But he did a lousy job
as president. Oh, my God.
He walks down the stairs.
Bada-b-da-da-ba-bap-bap-ba.
That's our president.
It's got to be an insult sandwich with him.
Yeah.
It's,
yeah,
just wrap the compliment and insults.
His anger was based on him,
like,
walking down with too much of energy,
like just a thing that he can't do,
whereas,
like,
he has to walk down,
like,
lock-legged.
You're cooked when you covet
another man's mobility.
That's usually not a great sign.
You know what I mean? That's not a good sign.
Publicly coveting someone else's mobility.
Sure.
I'll watch sports and be like,
damn,
I wish I was as nice as this player.
with the ball or something like that.
But that's in a fantasy world.
Not like, man, I wish I could hug my kids.
Right.
Not where you're like, I'm so much better than him.
Doesn't everybody agree I'm better than LeBron James?
The way LeBron James plays basketball, he's all like, boop-doo-boop and around the
Dunk, Dunk, amazing past, dunk.
Oh, isn't the announcement today?
That's unbecoming.
He's the, yeah, yeah.
The decision of all decisions or whatever?
The decision part two, I think it's a viability.
viral marketing stunt that fooled everybody just uh that's what everyone everyone was like this is an ad and
I'm like I don't care because honestly I'm like leave LA please but uh this is so it was just an
advertisement yeah it was just an ad um fucking stupid yeah it was like don't be the boy who cried
retirement man no one's gonna give a shit pretty I mean people will give a shit because he's one of the
greatest to ever do it but don't fuck around with people like this right now every time there's
like a sequel to a big media event, but it like doesn't really make sense. I think we did it with
Ferris Bueller, where people are like, a Ferris Bueller sequel is in the offing. And I was like,
well, that isn't possible. What, what do you mean? He's, he's not in high school anymore. That
that would suck shit. And then it was like a Super Bowl lad, like LeBron doing decision part two to be
like, I'm coming back to the Lakers when nobody thinks I'm leaving. Doesn't make zero sense.
Anyways, you know, Trump's talking about mobility, openly coveting another man's mobility.
Seems like he might be having thoughts of mortality.
No, why?
Why would he?
Why would he think about that?
Why would he nonstop talk about, if I go to heaven, will I go to heaven?
Now I lay me down to sleep.
I pray the Lord.
May I arise at your side in your heavenly kingdom?
So we've talked about the, he's been the last.
six months he's brought the heaven thing up at least four times like distinctly about like maybe
I'll get into heaven for stabbing these wars or like hopefully I go to heaven or he did that
fundraising email where he's like please help me get to heaven um so he was speaking at an event
for some new white house initiative called america praise um where people pray for the nation
like in the lead up to the 250th birthday of our country um so because church is state now
But anyway, while he was being asked, like, just an underhander question from a friendly journalist, like, hey, like, what about this, you know, faith, blah, blah, blah, what do you have to say about that?
He goes on this whole spiel about how heaven is certain for.
This is he said, quote, you know, there's no reason to be good.
I want to be good because you want to prove to God, you're good.
So you go to that next step, right?
That's very important to me.
I think it's really very important.
Uh-huh.
Wait, there's no reason to be good.
It's such a wild statement that everybody, like, people are just kind of skipping past.
Yeah.
He's, I mean, look, he's a theologian and they should, this is, I mean, he has, like,
the intellect of me at seven years old when I'm at, like, Lutheran first grade and
they're talking about praying in heaven.
And then I'm like, so what, the only reason to, like, be good is so you go to, like,
fantasy world after this?
Right.
Is that the only reason?
that's keeping everybody that's it the promise of this or the threat of the other thing what about
just vibing out man being a good person it's almost like he just heard of heaven
you know he's like just just gaming this out now where he's like so i guess i'm hearing about
this thing heaven where like it's a lot of people talking about this a lot of people
you ever notice this a lot of people talking about this specifically the voices in your head
have you ever noticed that the voices in your head are talking you're not going there right how do you
combat that father um uh i i i don't know i mean i think this is just uh he this is something he's
contemplating for whatever reason uh whether or not that's no reason i mean the yeah the you're like
oh wow i wonder if there's just a lot of health stuff we don't know about or that isn't as
obvious as we're seeing like the swelling and the hand bruising and the lack of you know coherent
ideas coming out pray for your president pray for your president this is also i mean
We'll talk about this probably in the tomorrow's main show, but like this, I feel like
this is why Stephen Miller is becoming more and more visible.
You know what I mean?
Because a lot of people, we've said this from, like, the beginning.
You don't think it's just like a brilliant political strategy on his part, on their part
because they know that he reads so well.
Famously humble Donald Trump was like, you know what?
I don't need all the shine.
Stephen, you get out there and you do some Nazi stuff.
We love it.
But I think, I mean, that's like we said from the beginning, this administration is less
of like Trump being like I get to be president it's more just that like these people have like when
ants like bring a big dead bug back to their layer like all these sycophant maga people are like dragging
Trump to the top and being like like puppeteering him like yeah you like this right grandpa you want to do
this day yeah yeah yeah sure will i go to how yeah you're going to heaven baby you're going to heaven
you're the man you're going to love it i just i i i think anytime that stephen miller is the face of
anything, it is good for people who are opposed to that thing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's the worst salesman of anything.
God. Unbelievable. All right. Those are some of the things that are trending on this Tuesday,
October 7th. We are back tomorrow with a whole ass episode of the show. Until then,
be kind to each other. Be kind to yourselves. Get your vaccines waste. Get them. Get them. Get them. Don't
do nothing about white supremacy. No. And we will talk to y'all tomorrow. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye.
