I'm doing pretty well. Calvin, just bearing, bearing through with the heat. How are you?

Jeez, this heatwave is crazy. And I'll tell you what, things are certainly heating up on the political scene here with the topic of today's episode. Actually, this episode is a bit of a spiritual sequel to our first Trump January 6 episode, you may remember, loyal listeners will remember that the second half of that episode, we talked about, then President Donald Trump being banned from social media. At that time, I think he was just banned from Twitter. But shortly after that, he was also banned from Facebook. Alex, do you know if there are any other social media platforms that he was banned from that week? Was he banned from GrubHub?

I think he was. He was banned from DoorDash, Friendster, MySpace, his his MySpace he was producing a lot of like scene tracks at the time that are unfortunately cancelled. We're never going to get to hear Donald Trump screamo tracks ever again. Which to be frank is just a--it's it's a huge travesty. I feel like it's a big loss for the music community and
