lly. Just available on Amazon. All right. Pick a new one. Here's one. Oh, I did that one yesterday. So we're on the next page. Here's one that I used to great effect during my school years.

And apparently that's all they needed to do to get past Amazon's security to list my property for sale by them. I assume they're all Chinese pirates, but it's a whole page of calendars. They have other people's names on them, but it's Dilbert. It's a completely useless system.
The only reason I can even sell the thing, and we haven't sold too many yet, but the only reason we can list it on Amazon is that I've been assigned a person, and this is to Amazon's credit. They do assign me a person to take that down. So we have a specific person I can call and he's specifically in charge of making sure my calendars work out within that little corner of Amazon. So we're getting good help and when we request that they take down the pirates, they do act and they do act fairly quickly. But the problem is as soon as they take them down, they'll just be replaced. If they take down 20, there'll be 100 by tomorrow. I don't even know how this is a viable business anymore. So I'll tell you in a few weeks whether it's even anything I could do again. You know, should I be here? There's always that. Anyway, I'll keep you updated on that.

What he does is he takes people like me who have said things in public that are interesting and then he uses that as the lyrics. I don't want to call it lyrics because it's me talking and not singing, but he'll sample things that I said from the podcast, put it to music, give it a video element a…
