"If you are not hearing the podcasts if you're not seeing them show up on Apple Podcasts or if you're you're typically listening to the podcast. I would recommend that you go over to YouTube and look up the hot zone. And that way, you can see what we're doing. But also, if you wanna listen to them there, we're we're putting a lot more content up on YouTube because that's where we've got the most listeners. So it was an interesting week for sure in the Dominican Republic. Although, you know, I'm not I didn't think the DR was all that great. I wouldn't go back there on vacation or anything, but it was interesting."
