Right, yeah. TikTok. So in Australia, is it the same? Anybody with a TikTok's got a podcast as well? There's a bit of that. Yeah, there's a bit of that. That's reached the other side of the Tasman. That's reached. Does it always translate to people downloading a podcast?

No, this is the thing. No, it doesn't. It doesn't. Fascinating. Fascinating. Fascinating. Interesting. Fascinating stuff. Yeah. Soinating. Interesting. Fascinating stuff.

Yeah. So what podcasts do you look after? I work on three. You just launched. I thought you had a launch. I just launched one. I've got one in development, which I can't tell you about. I know the people will be licking their lips.

Yeah. And then a mental health and mindfulness one as well, which is called The Space, which is just like a few minutes of mindfulness every day. So it's a daily podcast. Twice daily. You get a little hit in the morning and a little hit in the evening. What is it just like before you go to work, don't forget, charge your crystals? Pretty much. There's a bit of that. No, it's like, is Pam

in the office really pissing you off? Well, here's how we can deal with it. Okay. Oh, okay. Sort of like a little mini therapy session. Yep, you got it. At the end of the day, it's like, and if you killed Pam today, here is three lawyers' numbers. Who will defend the worst people on earth, of which you are now one. Best way to bury Pam's body without getting caught.

Great. I mean, Australia's a big place. Where would you bury it? In the outback. Would you? Yeah. I'd go to the Blue Mountains. Do you, like a lot of people have been moving to Aussie,
