The culture of net flick is now going to be forever changed. The company could have bought out the top, you know, 50 podcasts or we're going to do podcasts that we think ar really interesting,. If they had done those three deals at netflicks, well then anybody who liked any one of those three and got some value from netflicks wouldn't churn. So these two million people, if they had those three pod casts, those those 3 pod casts, and pocas networks have tens of millions of listeners. Maybe they would have saved a million of those two million or 500 thousand right?
