And I, like, all of the positive comments, I think this, with the Lindsey Clancy coverage, we did not expect the amount of growth that we've had so quickly, and it's kind of freaked both of us out, [laughs] I think a little bit.
But-
Yeah, we both had a little bit of, like, oh my gosh, because we were having, like, 40 people listen.
Yeah, and now it's-
And now it's just grown exponentially.
Yeah.
And so every time someone reaches out, like, we are still like, oh my gosh, I can't believe someone that we don't know is listening to, like-
[laughs]
... our words, and it's really cool.
Yeah.
And every time you comment, we talk about it.
Every, every comment we get, we, like, discuss.
We're just so excited.
Last night between 9:00 and 9:15, there were three, and I was like, [gasps] "This is our big break." [laughs]
