Sorry. My camera dirty. Really cool interaction today. One of my new coworkers, he's FaceTiming this girl he's talking to in Miami, wherever the fuck. And I walked past the background, and she goes, who's that? He goes, oh, that's my coworker. She's like, no. No. No. Turn the camera. Hey. Turn the camera on me. And she worst like, oh my god. I follow you on TikTok. That was a really cool a really cool moment, and I'm really grateful. I'm really grateful.
