- Guys, there's huge news happening on Saturday. - Oh, yeah. - Five and below is doing a thing where you can go buy dumplings from them on Saturday. And they're giving away like a special dumpling. - Yo, I wanna go on Saturday to go. - No, I'm camping out the night before. I'm getting a tent and everything. We're camping the entire night. - Oh, okay, I'll come. - Are you just busted? - Oh, yeah. - Oh! - You got my turn, ready? - Ready, go. - Oh, all right. - Oh, I got a good feeling. - Oh. - Oh, ready? - Oh. - Three, two, one. - No! - Oh, no, no, no! - I have a rant to start on. I am so upset and I don't want to be the annoying girl who goes on rants, but right now I just have to. - Hmm, T, wow. - Why is-- - What happened? - That's new TikTok algorithm messing everything up for me. - Is it the algorithm? - Is it? - Is it? - Is it? I don't know, is there any TikTok algorithm? Or do we all just-- - Yes, or-- - Well, signed the papers. - Who? - Who? - Oracle. They're like the ones who own TikTok now. - They signed what papers? - It's a new-- - They bought TikTok. - It's a new American company. And they signed the rights of TikTok, now they own TikTok. So annoying. - Be it loud. - It might be, I don't know. Can you hear me chewing in the mic? - You're eating? - I've probably stopped. - Let me-- - But we're told now it's gonna be a fat anyway, so. - No, no, no, no, no, no, no. - It's like you're-- - We make your like, but big apparently. But I don't know. - They make, wait, what? - Cashews apparently make my butt big. - Oh, your butt big. - Hey, give me some of those. - I know. - Trust? - I will be the experiment, don't worry. - What I mean is, um, no, my mom used to feed me cashews and I'm as flat as a door. Okay, anyways. - What's it called? Basically, what I want to tell you is, hey, talk algorithm algorithm has changed for the worst. I mean, for some people it favors. - But for me-- - And what is that change exactly? - My life. - No, no, what's the change-- - What's the change in the algorithm? What's the change in the world? - Like, I'm not like the views. They're not rockin' my life. - I don't know. I just looked at your account. You posted a video an hour ago and it got 60,000 views already. - Okay, so, 60,000 views, but like, used to, like, that's a great, that's a great number, but it's also like, I'm very happy that I still get those. You know, I'm happy that I still get the views. - Right. - Something is wrong with TikTok, because, tell me why. I used to see, like, 200,000, like, in an hour, you know? - This just happens, man. - Oh, it's 90,000. - Oh, it's definitely not enough. - The what? - The 95,000 views. - Oh, my God. - No, I mean, like, I'm so happy with everything I have still. It just feels-- - I'm really grateful, Abby. - It's so weird, like-- - No, it isn't. It is weird when, like, you put effort into your videos and then it's like, "Oh, people like these." And then one day, it just, people stop liking it. And it's like, "You're still putting effort into videos." But then people don't like them anymore. It's weird. - Yeah. - But it's not gonna be, like, never ever, right? - Never experienced that. - It's not gonna be, like, that forever, right? - I never know, man. - I don't think so. - TikTok's, like, random, I feel like. - It's so random. - And then people are like-- - TikTok, I always say. TikTok is just one big glitch. - People are commenting on my post saying she fell off. - Well, that's just-- - Oh, I know that gets to you, doesn't it? - It does, because-- - Yeah. - They don't know they're talking about-- - What? - Do y'all think I fell off the honest? - No. - No. - No. - I don't know. - I don't know. - Shut up. - Fair messing with you. - I mean, how-- - What is fun off a glitch, dude? - 'Cause I still have-- - I've been going TikTok for three years. And I think I've gained two million followers each year. - Harper, I told you this when we first met you, when you were at, like, 100k, and you were great gain it, and you were like, "I only gained 50,000 today." I said, "Harper." - Yeah, what the heck? - I was like, "One day, it's going to slow down." So be grateful for this time, and then I was like-- - So many people in the world. - I was like, "When it slows down, you don't gotta worry." - No, no, you don't. - Because you told me it's like a roller coaster. - That's what he told me. - Yes, and you know what roller coasters do? They go up and down and round and round, and they go everywhere, and that's what you're on. So right now, you're on the down, and you're going, with your hands up, okay? - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - But enjoy the down, 'cause it makes it up so much better. - You gotta realize you gotta seatbelt on. - You gotta know it's so-- - And you wanna be okay, and then when it comes back up, you're gonna be like-- - You know what it's so toxic about social media, though? It's like, we've all said this before, too. Like, the highs? You don't feel the highs as much as you feel low. - Oh, yeah. - Like, what do you say about that? - That's a gambling thing. - Yeah, that's everything in life. - Yeah, like, something's going really good when the views are up. Everybody are up, you post, you're doing really good. You're like, "This is great. I'm happy with it." But then when it's down, you're like, "Oh, no, I should panic now, because everything's wrong." - I want you to think about this. We played, like, eight basketball games yesterday, one, all of them, but one. - The only thing I remembered was the one we lost. - Like, the winning just didn't even feel good. - Yeah, it is everything in life, though. - Oh, we can go. - Kase is breaking everything this episode. - Oh, we can go. I posted a video. - But when it started, what did you draw? - It started off slow, and then I decided to get bigger and bigger, and now it's not a million likes. And I was like, dang, I wish I had more likes. And now I'm like begging for those likes. It's like, "Oh, my God." - She's like, "Please, like, my videos, if you see that." - Like, I don't know what to do. - Yeah, that happened to me. I used to be able to post a, I posted a black screen one time in my, like, peak on TikTok, and I posted a black screen. I was like, "Just wanted to see how many likes this would get." I got like half a million likes. It was a black screen. There was nothing to the video. Now if I posted a black screen, I don't even know if it would get too likes. I don't even know if it's gonna make it past like-- - Try it right now, please, please, please, please. - No, I can't think that way. - No, please, please. - That is not a risk I'm willing to take. But you should try it. It's a good test to see if you fell. - No, I don't want to do that. I'm just hurt right now. - No, you know, it's so good about social media though. I was thinking about this a few weeks ago when I was being canceled. The good thing about social media is if you just like, don't look at this thing, it's, it doesn't affect you. - What do you mean? - Like, when everybody is like-- - What about a laptop, iPad? - Like, when everybody is like, you fell off, you suck. I hate you. - What it does affect you when it's your job though. - Yeah, imagine you just don't make any money. - Yeah, that's true. - I'm saying. - Yeah, it would affect you in that way. But like, if I was like ever like, oh man, my feelings are kind of hurt. - Okay, well-- - Now, my feelings aren't hurt. - That affected our bank account if you keep treating your phone like that. - That's fine. It's a cart bit. - Okay. - Then how come? Instagram is waiting for you. I don't even take up. Tarpa, just, just put your phone on the floor. - Don't cry, come on. - I want to affect you. We try it. You should put your phone somewhere that you can't get it and then you won't feel as sad about you. - Harper, you want to see who fell off more? Let's see who has the most viewed video. - Who? - I don't know. - Oh, me and you? No, I thought it doesn't Natalie have it now. - No, not the actual most viewed. - Oh. - I'm like the most viewed. I don't think mine's that high, honestly. - Oh my gosh, it's probably like $1,500. - Oh, yeah, it's just $300,000 in my bad. - Let me see. - No, I'm kidding. - What is it? - Actually, it's actually not the high. I actually think you beat me. - See what yours is. - See what yours is. - No, you tell me yours first. - Oh wait, see that guy said it's not, you got to check like your top like 10 because it doesn't organize it perfectly. - Oh, it goes by likes. - Oh, is that one? - Yeah. So it's like your highest likes videos up there. - Oh. - Sometimes you get higher viewed videos and the light from the highest views. - That makes sense. - Okay, highest views. - Okay, talk is one big glitch. That doesn't make any sense. - Okay, I got my highest views. Okay, that one's better. My highest viewed video is 50 million. - Mine's 46. - Oh, dang, wow. - Dang, mine's 75. - No, it's not. - And then 68. - No, it's not. - And then 54, then 48. - On my YouTube. - Let me see maps, most of you don't take that. - No, no, I was looking at the cash. - Oh, whoa, map, your most viewed is 47 million. Yeah, I have some old ones that aren't taken out. - Wait, can you go see more? - And you know what's crazy? Maverick's 47 million viewed video is pretty much the exact same video that I did that got my 50 million views. - You're eating off of me. - That's what you're doing. - Look at this. - Who posted the video first? That's the real question. - Honestly, we probably posted the same day. Look, we were kind of like that then. - And of course, the chapters did my most viewed video. - Look, this is Maverick's most viewed video. Okay, and then the girl, like, is the audio, oh, you're something. - Oh, I was looking at that the other day. - The girl, like, puts her hair up and then she turns around. - Wait, how many likes that? - Is it the one if I'm dangerous audio? - I think so. - Yeah, and then look, and then look, this is my most viewed video. Ready? - We're literally standing in the exact same position, we're reacting to the exact same video. - Hey, but I have more likes than you. - Oh, that's not my most like. That's my most viewed. - Oh, wait, good idea. - What was your most like? - My phone's on the floor. - 4 million. - Well, like, 3.9. - I was looking at 4.6. - I can't look at my phone anymore. It's on the floor. - But the cash and Kate channel? - Yes, it's like 20 million. - That one is that one eight. - Let me see what that one's at. - Did it? - What? - Why are you all just gloating talking about your most viewed videos? - Yeah, I don't care anymore. I'm not like you people. I don't know. - Dang, 184 million? - Oh, you know what? Congrats. It's a number on a screen. And I'm hurting right now. - I'm hurting right now. - I'm hurting right now, seriously. - No, I was saying this to help you. Look, I fell off. I fell off even more. Like, it's now I get like 200K on that screen. - I can't have people look at my, like, uh, harbor, I promise it'll be okay. - Why is the maven kids the channel doing better than mine? - I'm pretty happy. - I'm gonna take that hurtful. - I think that was a dig at the maven kids you did all day. - No, he is doing better than mine. What is one of their most of, like, thousand views? - What are you talking about? - She's like, I'm not really sure what the lowest number they get is, so I want to say a thousand, so what are their views? - Let's see. - No, it's like 1.4 million. Y'all got on a thing, and I'm so jealous. - You keep tracking more accounts? - I don't know what to do. - That would be my 10th most viewed video, 817 million. - Technically, online. - Oh, yeah, I'm chronically online. - I think it, and I think it hurts your brain. - Let's see your screen time. - I think I just need a break. Oh no, I'm scared for her screen time. - I think you need a break, bro. - Let me guess. Let me guess. I'm gonna say 17 hours average daily screen time. 17 hours a day? - Yeah, what? I think her average screen time is. - No, we checked it one time. - Dang. - That's not even bad. - Dang. - What is it? Wait, y'all. - The average American kid, I'm pretty sure, is close to like seven. I don't know. - Okay, what's your guess? - Seven a day. - So what's your guess? - No, I think hers is probably like 13. - A day? - No. - Oh guys, you remember when we checked it last and it was only like eight? - No. - Okay, well out of the last, you know, she had like 70 hours a week, which would be out of the last. - Three days since June. - Which would be close. - 70 hours a week. - Which would be close to 10 I guess, yeah, yeah. - Yeah. - So 11 hours a week or all that week, 10? - No. - Nine and a half. - No, it's seven. - Not a week. - No average, daily average. - Oh, daily average. - How much has it gone down? - Well, like this week, you're down 30%. - Yes. - Yay! - A clinch. - A clinch. - A clinch. - Wow. - No, but you know what? - Hardware. - Hardware, you said, of course I looked by chop, diss at my most viewed video. That actually literally happened to us this week. - Paper. - Oh. - What was that noise? - That was the dumpling. I can make it again. - It's not like I even make money on TikTok. - No, no, but paper comes to me in Kinsey. He's like, hey, Kinsey, can you guys like, do you want to film this real quick? And I'm like, oh, paper, you know, I'm not ready. We don't have makeup on. He's like, oh, it's fine, don't worry about it. I'm like, okay, it probably won't, like it's just gonna be like an average video. So I throw on the I Heart Gerald shirt and I look at Trocious and then the video proceeds to get like 25 million views. - No! On what account? - On YouTube. - I'm telling you, YouTube is where to go. - Oh, that's true. I should do my plug. Guys, I started gaming channel. - I saw that. - Yeah. - You should plug your cash map channel first, probably. - Yeah, because it's a cash map. - Yeah. - That's why you started gaming channel. - Hey, whoa, hey, here, I'm like not. - You should go typing cash and maverick on YouTube and watch their videos. So their wives don't have to listen to them cry at night. - Or it's like being cash baker, roblox. - I'm plugging my, actually, my cash. - It's cash baker plays. That's the YouTube channel. - No, it's not. - Yes. - I copied Preston. Thank you, Preston. - I wasn't saying-- - Oh, wait, you did that. - Yeah, with a Z, too. - I guess I'm gonna plug my freaking TikTok in. Harp resume for-- - I think everybody wants it. - I think everybody knows where you are talking to us. - Also, Preston, have you seen this? I only did that because there's this other kid named cash that also lives in Dallas, Texas, who is actually a famous robloxer. He's like 10 million subscribers. - Cash baker plays, you said? That's your plug? - You could have been named-- - But he took the name cash. So he has like five channels called cash, roblox, cash, Minecraft. So he took my name. So I had to come up with something creative. - Harp resume. - As cash, what his name was 10 days before that. - Touching cash. - That was his name. - I thought it was a funny, actually-- - That's actually a-- - Touching cash. - File, that you could get in trouble for. - Well, it could be. But no, it's more like, don't touch me in the game. That's what it really means. - Well, that's how it sounds. - And my tag is still that. But I need this product. - I think I'm more focused on the fact that other people, I just need to understand, I don't need to look at other people's-- - You want to start with a block skaming with me? - No, I don't. - No, you don't. - Look at stuff. - Other people stuff will make you feel bad. - Exactly. - It makes you feel terrible. - Yeah, I look at trending creators that I know of. - You should block everyone. - You think? - What the? - Don't block, because then people will be like, "There's a thing I've heard of." - Oh, don't block them. Hide their accounts. - People do this thing. - Have you all seen this? - It's called a brick. - Yes. That always pops up. I'm like, can you please-- - Listen, I just want you to call me. - You can brick your phone. - Yes, it's called a brick. - And basically, you can't basically use your phone until you touch, you know how you can do tap to pay? You have to tap this brick to be able to get on your phone. And the brick will actually lock you out for like, how does it work exactly? It locks you out almost the dead. - Well, I think you're gonna see me. - I see, I see. - You have to set up the time and then after a certain, either time of the day or a certain amount of screen time, your phone will lock up from the brick. But like, if you leave your brick at home and you're at school, then there's no way to open the apps on your phone. Well, you can use like your phone. - Oh, it's like calculator and text. - Yeah, yeah, but then when you get home, if you take the brick off when you're not supposed to, the brick will, I think, I might be speaking wrong, but I think the brick shuts off and you have to pay for a whole new brick. - Yeah, if you like, try to, like, it gives you like a couple free passes to like, get around it, I think. But if you are abusing it, you have to buy another brick. - I think once people are buying them like crazy, it gets you offline. - But what I do wanna say is if I hide my, or if I hide their condit from me, does it hide mine from theirs? - I don't think so. - So I think you should just try to stop looking at other people's accounts before you resort to that. 'Cause it's genuinely like an addiction. Like, right when I get home, I look at it, I'm like, type in one specific creator, I'm like, okay, does he or she have more views than me right now? Frick, she does, okay, crap. And then I get off and I'm like, gosh, I need a, like, topic. - Yeah, wait, what are you talking about? Your views are good. I looked at them like a week or two ago. - Well, yeah, but this week I'm falling off, yeah. But maybe next week I'm gonna fall on again, you know? - I'm gonna fall on again. - It's just seriously, like, something that is shoest is happening and I don't know, and it's fine, but I think that I'm just gonna hide myself, 'cause I have blocked, like, creators because of how jealous I get. And I obviously, like, comparison is a thief of joy. So I think I just need to stop comparing myself, myself to them, and instead of that, focus more on myself, and how I can better myself, and better my videos, and better what the audience wants, you know? - Yeah. - 'Cause it's like, you're solving your problems for yourself right now. - You know where you're at. - I know where you're at. - I know that when I get home, I'm just gonna keep doing it. - Yeah. - But like, I just need to figure out the algorithm and how to like, fix whatever is happening. - No, I will say, I feel like-- - They didn't change the algorithm, dog. - Dog, they did. - No, dog. - No, that's a whole whole trust me. We've been using that. - I promise, no, no, I promise you. I promise they did. - I feel like it's so hard too. Sometimes you get on social media, and you're like, oh, I need to film content. Let me just go try to find some ideas on what to film, and then you just end up doom scrolling for like two hours, and you don't film anything, and it's like, well, now I just brainwrotted for two hours, right? Did they change the TikTok algorithm? Just wait. - Okay, yeah. - Yes, a lot of creators think TikTok has shifted over the past year, especially in the 2026. TikTok hasn't announced one giant algorithm update, but they have seen noticeable changes. Some biggest changes are noticing, watch time matters more now. Like, I think that they did-- - Oh, so the algorithm got better, and it's serving better videos. - Who's gonna tell her? - You know what? I'm just gonna better myself, and figure out what's happening. Or else I'm gonna cry. - Oh, I'm gonna cry. - Speaking of Oracle, buying a TikTok. - No, okay, don't cry then. - Speaking of Oracle, buying TikTok, I bought Spirit Airlines. (laughing) - Stupid thing I've ever heard. - I'm not kidding, I bought it. - What? - And you can buy it too. - Wait, this guy started to take off-- - He bought into a failing, or actually failed to convince-- - We know you did not. - Yes, yes, so you can buy it right now. This guy is attempting to raise enough money to buy out- - Spirit Airlines. - If you didn't even know what I thought. - Spirit Airlines is canceled. It is already just out- - And if you don't know what Spirit Airlines is, you know the planes that fly in the sky? - Yeah, I think-- - We got a lot of kids that watch us. - I don't, yeah, I think people would-- - The planes that fly in the sky? - Yeah. - Anyways, basically the plane company shut down. - Yeah. - But it was the cheapest one, we always flew it. (laughing) - What? - I think YouTube's the way to go. - Oh my gosh, I told you, we can play robots together. You're anytime you want. Okay, I'll put you on a channel. - I don't mind, Roblox. - Listen, they have already trust me, all my robots fans will go follow you. - Just to give you an estimate of how much I'm paying for Spirit Airlines. We have already raised $337 million towards buying Spirit Airlines. - And what does that get you? - How many not a member of my own podcast? - We need 1.7 billion, so we are about 1 billion short right now. (laughing) - What does that get you even if you raised enough money? - I'll be part owner in Spirit Airlines. - How much did you put in? - The minimum pledge, which is like $45. (laughing) - Are you serious? - It didn't mean money. - He had me so angry the other day, telling me he put in like 1,000 something dollars. - I think we go all in. - I'm thinking it, too. - It's not like, are you an idiot? - You can hit big, you never know. - Listen, we go all in on this. - It's stupid thing. - There's like special things you get, too, if you like pledge more, like you're gonna get like better airline tickets. - And, wait, wait, question. Say they don't raise enough. - What happens to the hundreds of millions of dollars just sitting there? - I'm gonna buy the beer. - Did some guy just take that or. - Wait, what was that? - I'll say they don't raise enough. What happens to all the money that got raised? - Dude, I don't know if he gets refunded. I don't know what happened. - You're out for, you find dollars. - And listen, the dude buying it, I'm not gonna lie. He not like some big CEO guy, he's just a dude on TikTok. (laughing) - It's just. - This is the guy you get free for adoption. - Only one in this office. - All right. - Hello, friends, I'm the only one in this office. - Okay, so Matt placed it as money and gets to a scammer. - So he's the only one in the office. - He's in $337 million. - That's insane. - I've went to this guy. - Wait, how much? - $337 million. - What's he gonna do with it if it doesn't hit him? - I'm telling you be stupid. - He got the biggest cash grab ever. - Wait, is he, is he on all the money right now? - Yeah, that's what I'm wondering. - There's some potential future CEO of Spirit Airlines here. - Very big important urgent announcement. If you see the domains, let's buy Spirit Air.org, not.com.org. Those are scammers. - Oh, they're scammers. Stay away from them. - All right, he's richer than me. That's crazy. Like how? - Yeah. - Okay, what were you, what were you buying? - Oh, the yellow fan club. - You're paying for our fan club? - Yes. - What? - Why am I not a member? I want to see the video. - For you. (laughing) - This is. - You're. - You don't vlog in your podcast. You can just log in to the YouTube and watch it. - To it. - I'm on my account. - No. - Like, no, the LOL podcast you do. - Vlogin' to the LOL podcast, okay. - You know, like. - Anyways, I just wanted to point out that before we move on from my spirit airlines, if you guys would like to purchase and become a co-owner with me, you can in the last eight days. Eight days ago, we were only at $2 million pledge. Now we're at $37 million. - That's insane. - $370 million. - That's crazy. - One more thing. He's richer than Ariana Grande. - Probably. - Heard that worth this, like. - I don't know. - Hey. - Do you guys think, do you guys hear about the five below thing? - No. - What, five below thing? - Five below the one that sells all the dumplings. - Why are you holding it like that? - Why is that a dumpling? - That's a fake! - Like that! - Yeah, this one is a fake. Look, it's got no face. We bought a dupe and it's got no face on it. - Wait, can I try something? - Like take it around. - Yeah, you know, I was filming a video with the Honourzalla family. And, how was that way? - It was great, pretty sunny. - Yeah, I was filming a video with them, and the kids know Amila. They would grab the dumplings, and every time they'd open them up, they'd be like, "Don't do it!" (laughs) And then I'm like, "I can't, I'm pregnant." (upbeat music) And then we ended up actually getting a rare one with them too. And they were like, "Take it!" And they were like, "Get out of my way!" It's like, "Do you want it for very long?" 'Cause it's got a break. - Can I try that and see if it breaks? - No, trust me. - The gooet all over me the other day. Harper, straightness faces. - No, I was doing this. I was like, "Where are you?" I wasn't even doing that crazy. Downstairs, like, I was doing this right here. This is it. That was power. - Ew, stop. - Any second now, I just-- - Can I check, please, let me-- - Let's see if it can break. - Please don't do that. Please don't do that!

But me and Maverick just had a like a 30 minute talk about-- - It was the cheesyest cornyest thing I ever had in my life. I should have recorded it honestly, it was crazy. - He thinks that I'm saying that he doesn't believe in me. He's just telling me that it's really hard to become where I want to be. But I will work hard. - Oh my gosh, this is exactly what it sounded like. While I'm trying to fix the dumpling incident that happened and fix the power out here, Maverick Harper over there, she's like, "I want to be the best thing in their lives "of all time." - No! - And Maverick's like, "That's going to take hard work "in dedication." She's like, "I'm willing to be hardworking, dedicated, ma'am." And she's like, "It's going to be a long road." She's like, "I'm ready to travel it." That's what they sounded like. My bags are packed and I'm heading out the door. - No, like I am ready to travel down this long road. I'm not gonna-- - And I will keep Maverick in the corny conversation because this is my passion. This is what I want to do. And I know he's like, "Well, gosh, that look where he is." Now he's doing YouTube. I don't care. This is what I wanted ever since I was four years old. Or seven years old. Have you ever heard this song? - Never say never by Justin Bieber. - Yeah, and you wanted to be Justin Bieber. - Yeah, I know, but I think you should listen to that on your car ride home. It'll motivate you to rest, Maverick. - She's going to. - It's just like, "I never, that did that." - Wait, how does it go? I never thought that would become a big singer. - That would be you. - That would be your famous singer? - Any time you feel down and sad about your career, whatever you're talking about, your views or whatever, just play that song. - I told people on TikTok and stuff like that. I was like, your end goal probably wasn't to be on my famous singer, wasn't it? - Actually, yeah, I became big on social media. I was like, "I want to be a singer." And that's all I'm doing. But then I came to the reality that I can't sing. So then I was like, "Well, maybe I'll do vlogs." - We kind of, we knew our place. - That's what we knew. - Even before TikTok started, I wanted to become a big singer, you know? - Right. - You know what? I say, we open dumplings. - Dang it, let's do it.

Can we just open up on Michael Jackson? - You won't sing? - Legendary voice of all time there. - Sing something for us. - I can't, maybe someone will see it, like Justin Bieber and then he'll make it famous. - What if like Beyonce season, she's just like, you know what, well, I don't know what you think after that, but you know what, maybe maybe she'd be like, you know what? - Just discovered on YouTube, they get discovered on YouTube. - Yeah, Justin Bieber got discovered on YouTube singing. - So to take my cry. - This is your moment, and are gonna go on day. - Yeah, this is your moment. - No, this is not, I can do all my own. - And I'm out of some beer. - No, this is your moment. - I can do all my own accord. - I can do all my own accord, thank you. - Oh my gosh, your own accord been so long.
