Um, and what a, an incredible career you, you are having.

Uh, I wouldn't say had, uh, I'm saying having because, uh, obviously, your career is still active.

Yeah, well, if you can call it a career.

I mean, I, I, it, it, it, it, I never sort of set out and said, "That's what I wanna do."

Yeah.

But you know, I mean, these days, people, you know, particularly young people, they'll watch anything anywhere and-

Yeah
