Questions this episode answers
What step goals did The Daily Talk Show team set for their October fitness challenge?
Each team member set a personal monthly step target — Josh aimed for 500,000, Jess also said 500,000 but was reconsidering, and Tommy settled on a more realistic 10,000 a day (about 310,000 for the month) — tracked via the One Foot Forward platform and verified against Apple/iPhone or Strava data to prevent cheating.
What dating advice did Jess Lucas give Mason Lauder for his first post-lockdown date?
Jess suggested a picnic in the park with a blanket, pillows, a basket of baguettes, cheese and fruit, plus bringing antihistamines in case of hives from the grass.
How did Josh Janssen feel about influencers receiving free restaurant meals?
Josh described feeling awkward and like he should still tip even when a meal was offered free in exchange for a social media post, and Tommy jokingly suggested a movement for influencers to 'pay back' their free meals.
Episode TranscriptShow
Josh: It's The Daily Talk Show, episode 871.
Tommy: It's weekend banter. Welcome Jessica Lucas, Mr. 97. How are we, Gronks?
Mason: What's happening?
Jess: Good.
Tommy: What's good?
Jess: Thank you.
Josh: That's good. Yeah, it's, uh, very good. The steps are on. So, uh, it is, uh, what is it, October 3rd, Saturday, October 3rd, and we have started the step challenge Jess, are we signing up somewhere?
Tommy: Oh yeah.
Jess: Why haven't you signed up already?
Josh: Well, you haven't told us where to sign up.
Jess: I sent you the link.
Josh: Okay.
Tommy: Where? No, you did. She did.
Josh: Okay. She did.
Tommy: Where? I sent you a link as well. It was dancing on my phone.
Josh: Sorry, I should have— Okay, put in Asana, please. So anyway, what's the deal? Where can other Gronks participate in the walking challenge?
Jess: They can. Maybe we should do a post on social media with all the details. And they can watch you fail because you haven't met your steps yet for the past 3 days.
Josh: Whoa, ouch. Yeah, well, so this is the problem. So I, I don't know, I've just been working hard, guys. You have, you've worked hard.
Jess: I feel bad saying that.
Josh: Early morning and then evening, 'cause you asked me on Thursday, you said, hey, are you hiding your steps from us? I was like, no, I haven't left the fucking apartment. And so, but Bri has said that, Today, tomorrow, this whole weekend, we are going to go big or go home. And we won't be going home until we've done our steps.
Jess: And you're gonna have to make up quite a few for the days that you've missed.
Josh: Yes, exactly. Yes, yes, mate.
Mason: Running, running is the worst bang for your buck when it comes to steps.
Josh: What do you mean?
Tommy: Absolutely.
Mason: Well, so walking, if you walk the same distance as you run, you're gonna get more steps walking than you are running.
Tommy: Yeah, and can we just—
Mason: not only that, do you feel worse when you run and it has more of an impact on your body?
Jess: Definitely. It's not great.
Josh: Yeah, I mean, I don't like running either.
Tommy: Zero-sum game. Uh, let's just go around the room, talk about how many steps that we forecast for the month individually that we wanted to hit.
Josh: How many we said?
Tommy: Kick it off.
Josh: 500,000.
Jess: 300,000. I said 500,000 and I don't know if I want to commit to it anymore. But why? Here we go. Just because it's hard. I've done it. I've done the 16,000 a day to date and it's hard to get in.
Tommy: It is.
Josh: It is.
Tommy: Realistically, I'm thinking 10,000 a day, so that's 310,000 steps. Yeah, yeah, 310,000 steps in a month. Okay, which I think is realistic because you could make it up over a few days if you miss one.
Josh: You could make it up. So you mean just make it up, just put it in random?
Mason: There is a manual, there is a manual add into the, into the One Foot Forward platform, so you could.
Tommy: Oh, is there?
Josh: Oh.
Tommy: One. Yeah, okay, I guess they're not. Yeah, tapping in.
Jess: You shouldn't have said that, Mason.
Tommy: No, no cheaters. Can we get it packed? Yeah, because I feel like—
Jess: yeah, I don't trust Mason.
Tommy: George, George is in this too, and I'm worried about him cheating.
Mason: I feel like if anyone's going to cheat, it's going to be George.
Josh: No, I agree.
Mason: If George pulls out 20,000 steps a day.
Josh: Yeah, yeah. It would be good to work out some sort of accountability thing, or like, um, auditing that could happen. Like, I wonder if you can—
Mason: we can do it through Strava. Strava, you can— it directly hooks into the platform and we can—
Josh: it's annoying.
Mason: I feel maybe that's not the same as Apple.
Tommy: The, the Apple— I mean, we're all got— we've all got the iPhone, so I think that's like, if you just forgot to take your iPhone, which you won't, Josh, uh, it doesn't matter. Uh, it's in— that is in the phone, so we just— it's pretty— that's transparent, isn't it? Yeah, we're just seeing— we're seeing that, so it's going to align.
Josh: Yeah, because you'll be able to see like specific times. I don't think we want to be doing extra activity, like adding in other activities, which can happen to your point, Mace, where it's like, ah, I did this, uh, jog and— but I didn't have my phone. Like, no, it all needs to be coming through the app.
Tommy: Um, well, the whole thing—
Josh: yeah, she will to a certain degree. I don't think she'll probably do 10,000 like TJ because she's also doing the gym, um, or not the gym, a PT or whatever. Yeah, yeah.
Tommy: Well, I think there's, um, the reality of committing to something like steps, it's not about the, the running, it's just about the moving or the walking. It's just like I was looking like I was about to rob a house last night out the front of my joint. I got to like 9,200 steps and I was just like pacing up and down like a junkie waiting for his dealer to rock up. And I'm just like, I was like shuffling, I was doing small walk and like, but I was moving more than I would have just been doing long strides.
Josh: And so you start looking a bit weird, like, oh, I'm like Runners, you know, the traffic light runners that are like jumping up and down or whatever, like if they stop they're going to die.
Tommy: Yeah, yes, exactly, exactly. So no, it's good. We'll cheque in next week, see where we're at. But it's your own mission, right? So Josh, I know you well enough that I don't— I wasn't going to bring that heavy-handed approach like Jess did today to you because I knew you would have said—
Josh: I would just—
Tommy: I know you have been.
Josh: Working. You don't know, but I know that I can do it. I know that it's actually like, I'm the type of guy to make up the time and to do it. I think the thing is, what annoys me is when I have a phone call, there's been a couple of times where I've had an hour-long phone call and I've thought about it after it. I'm like, I could have been moving, but it's annoying because I've got the stationary bike, but this isn't a bike race. And so, yeah.
Jess: And also you don't know if you're gonna need to be in front of your computer.
Josh: Yes, well, I mean, that was a concern that you had, but I think—
Tommy: Are we talking about work hours, guys?
Josh: Yeah, well, definitely, no. No, well, I think that's the thing, right? Like work hours on, this was actually before the 1st of October when I was sort of, I actually did more steps leading up to October than I have in October. But the, but TJ, you and I had like a walk meeting over the phone. And so you can, you can have them, but I guess that you need something like a second brain, like Drafts, where you can be putting in the data as you go.
Tommy: I would like to sort of flag something if we are doing walking meetings. I, I don't want them— I— you can't use your AirPods anymore. I've— I take mine off because I know how annoying they are for the listener. So I, I hold my phone because Once you hold— okay, I just got a text message. Bodhi just did a shit in the yard.
Josh: Oh no. Oh, what are you gonna do?
Tommy: Jesus Christ, it's fresh, freshly mowed grass.
Josh: Oh no. And it's gonna all stick to it. It's gonna roll it up like it's a fucking ball.
Tommy: I haven't told you this story. Sorry, I'll get back to— what was it? What was I even talking about? Oh, the AirPods. I'll get to that. But Amy just followed up with a comment from Bodhi just as he was about to do the shit, which was I just want to be— I just want it to be like the park. Oh, which needs context. This needs context.
Josh: No, I think I get it right. No, the dog shit.
Tommy: Hey, no, shut up.
Mason: The park.
Tommy: The other day I took Bodhi to the park, and he's toilet trained now. He knows when he's about to do poo poo.
Jess: Yeah, yeah, questionable.
Tommy: Yeah. And he's like, I need to do poo. I was like, okay, let's go back to the cafe. This cafe where he's got them all under his thumb, they let him use the toilet. And so we got there, we went in, I sat him down. I just need to wee-wee. And I get it, I get it when you're busting and you have to actively start moving your body and it actually goes up back in. It's like, uh, it's gone back into its cave. And so he's been like, he's like, no, I don't feel like it anymore. So I was like, okay, you sure? Yep, sure. Walked back to the park, started playing. Next minute, Dad, I need to do poo poo. And at that point, it's like coffee.
Josh: He's had his coffee from the cafe. I get it.
Tommy: But the thing is, I wasn't going to risk it this time because I knew that he'd had some time, you know, for it to sort of just really sort of start manifesting.
Josh: Yeah. And I was like, okay, oh my God, I've got, I've got some tissues in my pocket.
Tommy: And let's just do it in the bushes.
Josh: Oh no.
Jess: Oh God.
Tommy: So we went, we went to the bushes and I had him up, I had him over my leg, and it was like he was on a toilet and he just pushed one out and it was ginormous. One piece.
Josh: Uh, did you pick it up and put it in the bin at least?
Tommy: I went and got something from the bin and I put it in.
Josh: Like a poo bag? Are you gonna have to start carrying poo bags to the park? Just on it with his lead?
Tommy: I put it in, I took it, put it in the bin. It was away, but he thought it was hilarious. This is the problem. And so he's gone down.
Josh: Should you just let him shit? Why not just let him shit? I feel like shitting your pants is actually a better lesson.
Jess: Tommy's gonna have to clean it anyway.
Tommy: He's gonna have to clean it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Josh: I feel like it would've, What was the risk of the Josh shitting himself?
Tommy: It's an absolute pain, Josh. He's not a child anymore, really. Think about you doing it and then imagine you sitting in the car. Sure. Like, just think about the—
Josh: how far were you from home?
Tommy: You did it now, 5Ks.
Josh: So too far to walk?
Tommy: Way too far to walk. And so anyway, I let him do it, and in my head I'm justifying, thinking, mate, 'Look at all these fucking dog walkers around here.' They let their dogs shit.
Josh: Were people watching?
Tommy: They pick it up. No, no one was. I wouldn't do it if someone's watching, you know, because I feel the embarrassment. He doesn't yet.
Josh: Was it because you were set up like a toilet seat?
Tommy: Oh man, it was bad. Anyway, that's what's happened, but this is the consequence of that. Jess, do you have any poo stories?
Josh: Have you ever shit yourself?
Jess: Not that I wanna share with you, JJ.
Josh: Oh, really?
Tommy: What about me?
Josh: What about me?
Jess: No, none of you, or our listeners. Bush wee.
Josh: Bush wee, yeah, sure.
Jess: So, two things. We used to go and have barbecues out in the bush with the family and whatever, and my pop made a bush toilet for us that we could sit in. And every time we'd go, he'd dig a hole, he'd pop the toilet, like the chair and the toilet seat over the top of it, and it'd just be like a normal toilet into the ground. And then you'd bury it after it.
Josh: So, what's the actual, so a barbecue in the bush, what are you actually, what are you rocking? It's not a Traeger grill, what are you using?
Jess: No, like, is it like a— Weber. No, I don't know, it had a little miniature gas bottle and it would just, yeah, it was just like a—
Tommy: Oh, hang on.
Mason: So is it like a camping thing?
Josh: Like a stove?
Jess: Like a portable thing, yeah.
Josh: So, you go to the bush to then cook or you're staying at the bush and you just say— The weird bit is we would like barbecue in the bush. Like you would go to the bush to cook and then you'd go home or are you staying there overnight?
Jess: No, we never stayed. I don't like camping.
Tommy: I mean, where you grew up, there's bushy areas very close to you, right? It's like, yeah, you did live in the country essentially.
Jess: Yeah, I do. And there's, yeah, there was like places that we went and it'd have like heaps of vast land and rocks and boulders and stuff everywhere that we'd just go and play as kids and take the four-wheelers out and stuff and yeah, just have barbecues in the middle of the bush. Yeah, so that was one thing. And then I remember, did you guys ever like when you needed to stop to go to the toilet on the side of the road after a big road trip or whatever, your dad or your mum would have to like hold you up against a tree and you'd put your legs up on a tree and we, that's how you do it.
Tommy: I mean, that's what girls do.
Josh: I don't even have to hold, like we can just sort of stand up and do it. So we don't have to.
Tommy: I could stand up inside the car and piss out the window. That's the privilege of a male. No, but you're right. No, Jess, I hadn't even thought about that. Like for Bodhi, The difference with Bodhi is I have him standing upright and then I hold his chest and I lean him front ways so he's like on an angle, on a 45 angle, so that he— so it doesn't go on him. So it's like the girl thing. My friend's just had a baby girl and he has a son who's the same age as Bodhi and we were just talking about— he's like, yeah man, it's a wow, different thing, you know. It's just like for a dude, for a guy a real blokey bloke that has to, you know, navigate that as a parent, it only makes you a better human. It definitely only makes you a better human when you're dealing with, you know—
Jess: Surely he's seen all that anatomy before though.
Tommy: Yeah, I mean, it's different when it's your daughter. I think as an immature man that could, you know, think about wees and poos, which most of us are, there's something that comes over you when you have to do it for your own child, where that disappears and it's just focus mode. It's like, fucking, this is what you're gonna do, front to back, back to whatever, you know, work this out. I fucking got it.
Jess: Did you guys ever do Outward Bound?
Tommy: Heard of it, I never did it.
Mason: My brother, my brother did it, Sam. He absolutely loved it. He did it in, um, he did it in New Zealand.
Tommy: It's like Tums.
Jess: It's like, um, so I feel like, um, I've heard of private schools in Melbourne doing it. Um, you go away for a week or so, um, and you literally just have to— you're in the bush for a week and you have to like camp and you have to hike everywhere and dig your own toilets and that kind of stuff.
Josh: It's like a VCAL thing, or like—
Tommy: can we confirm it's for private schools? Because I was, I was under the impression it was a private school thing.
Josh: I've heard of Outward Bound, like I remember hearing about it a bunch. I went to a public school, but I mean, TJ, you went to that place in regional Victoria. What was that called? Where you would sort of, you went there for a bit with your school?
Tommy: Yeah, it was called Clunes. And it was that same theory when they get to year 9 and they're probably, you know, causing ruckus, taking drugs, let's send them away for a month. Oh yeah, because the poo monster's just grabbing my arm.
Josh: And he's got a plant. Is that a plant that is— or is that his head?
Tommy: It's a tea— uh, that's his spoken haircut at the moment. Hey, um, sorry, just on the Outward Bound thing, it's actually an organization, Outward Bound Australia, um, about Outward Bound.
Josh: And so we could do it as a team.
Mason: There are 3 to 5 day programmes or you can do the 7 to 12 day program.
Tommy: It's essentially a self-development. It's a self-development week, like workshop. Like they've got a grid here, people, place, process, impact, soft skills, authentic adventure, hard skills. Like it's a real discovery of your human self.
Josh: Where did everyone go, Jess? Like, I mean, you grew up in Bendigo. And so like, I feel like when we, went on camps, we were going sort of regional. I did Camp Waterman was one, which I think was like maybe in the Dandenongs or something. Yeah, they all have flying, they all have the same thing. Yeah, a flying fox. Yeah, all that's an archery and a lot of links, a lot of Lynx deodorant. But the, were you going into the city for your camps or what were your school camps?
Jess: No, so we went, I remember we went to Ballarat, the Sovereign Hill, um, place one day.
Josh: Yeah, did you do it as a camp? Did you actually stay there though?
Jess: Yeah, we stayed there. Yeah, it was one night. That was like a grade 5 or something thing.
Josh: Did you get dressed up?
Jess: Um, I don't know if I got dressed up that time, but I definitely have been dressed up there before. Okay, I love Sovereign Hill.
Josh: Yeah, we could go. Yeah, it is good fun.
Mason: Raspberry Drops, Blowout.
Jess: Yeah, Raspberry Drops are the best, aren't they?
Josh: They are really good.
Jess: Someone took me on a date there one time. It was really—
Josh: yeah. Why?
Mason: What a spot.
Jess: I don't know, because it was like we were adults.
Josh: And what was the deal? I mean, sort of cute. How old?
Jess: Oh, it would have been, um, it would have been 21.
Josh: You were 21. And so what's the deal? Like, what's the, uh Is it cute? You're walking through the 1800s like holding hands, learning about the gold rush.
Jess: Like, yeah, I just felt it was a little bit weird for a date because we went away and I was like, I love the beach, like, let's go to the beach.
Josh: You did not stay at Sovereign Hill, did you, on a date?
Jess: We stayed in Ballarat.
Josh: Okay, yeah, sure. I don't think you can say that in Australian school.
Jess: Okay, yeah, um, yeah, and you got dressed up for them, did you? This is so So bizarre.
Josh: No, I didn't.
Jess: I just remember saying to Mum, I was like, I just really don't want to go. Like, I don't want to go. Like, how do I get out of this? She's like, he's paid for 2 nights, you have to go.
Tommy: Oh no, you don't have to.
Josh: I mean, how did that happen? How did— like, there's some poor communication if someone—
Jess: I just didn't really like him that much and he was just, yeah, okay, too keen.
Josh: Uh, 97s, have you worked out what you're going to do in regards to dates, going out and about? 'Cause you've basically gotten away with not doing a single date. Like you've had a girlfriend for, what is it? How long has it been now? Are you counting down the months?
Mason: It's almost 6 months.
Josh: Almost 6 months. You got something big planned for when's the 6-month mark?
Mason: The 6 months is on the 10th.
Josh: That's huge, that's huge. And so what's the— When I was, when Bri and I first started, uh, dating for the first year, it was like the— I remember mum and dad, or like just people in general, get pissed off when you're like, it's our one-month anniversary. It's like, well, an anniversary is like a year, but whatever. And so we'll do something, um, every month where it was like, it's quite costly really. Uh, but have you— have there been any sort of— do you do any sort of milestone stuff? I see by your face that you haven't.
Jess: Nope.
Mason: The only— the, the, I guess the first sort of milestone would be the 6 months, but I, I don't think we're doing anything. We're not doing anything big for it, I don't think.
Josh: Okay.
Tommy: I've seen when I— when I—
Jess: anything for it, mates, don't worry about it.
Josh: No.
Tommy: When I book in, say, the, the Cal invites for all of us during, you know, the— at this— on a Sunday for the week, I always see Seb's has blocked out the Saturday night. He's got it in the diary. Date night.
Josh: Yeah, everyone's like, Bree even saw my calendar 'cause I've got Mason's on there. She's like, cook night, what are we cooking? Just ignore that.
Jess: That's not ours.
Tommy: I panic thinking my rent's due, but it's just yours, Josh.
Josh: And so Mason, I don't know if I would agree with what TJ and Jess are saying. I think of it step up, Uh, like, it is nice to overdeliver. Yes, you don't actually have to— in the most part with these things, you don't have to do anything in this world. However, doing nothing isn't romantic. Like, the rom— what is romance? I reckon romance is doing something for someone, or like your partner, that you don't actually have to do. And so if you use that, you even want to do exactly. And so the filter the filter of, now you don't have to do it. Like, there's a lot of people who would live by that, and they're just shit at relationships.
Jess: Wait, can I just make a point?
Josh: Yes.
Jess: I don't mean don't be romantic, Mason, but I don't want you to go out and say, Grace, let's go on a date because it's our 6-month anniversary or our 7-month anniversary. Just do it because you want to do it, because you want to be romantic, as Josh said.
Mason: Yeah, yeah. Well, I mean, the thing is, I think we would we would celebrate it in that way.
Josh: He's really coming around, hasn't he? Not doing anything to Josh said I have to do something. It's got to be, it can't, it's not romantic to listen to, but what do you, what's something romantic that you've done in the last 2 months? And I'm asking you, you don't ask me. Go. 2 months?
Mason: No, we probably did it 2 months. Well, like when we do date nights and stuff, like there was a couple of times where there was like getting candles out and then like I wanted to put them on the floor but that's a bit of a fire hazard so they ended up just sitting on a desk.
Tommy: Uh, yeah, right next to our fucking computer that we bought.
Josh: Yeah, I get it.
Tommy: That's a fire, mate. That's a dangerous move.
Josh: I hope those candles have insurance. The—
Tommy: mate, you're ahead of the— you're ahead of Josh and I if you're even booking in Saturday night date night. We're deep in the relationship and I tell you what, those Cal invites would come in handy to make me sort of snap out of it.
Josh: Well, I have said to Bree every night's a date night, which could be seen as a slight cop-out. But so what is the, what is it that like if you were to look at outside of ISO, what have you promised Grace? What's on the list of things like Sovereign Hill? I'm sure like it's outside your radius at the moment, but that will be high up on there. What else do you want to do?
Mason: Um, we love— we want to go to the beach.
Josh: Okay.
Mason: Love to go to the beach. I think a day out would be fun, going to the beach. Um, which beach? Oh well, it has— it probably has to be down like Portsea or Lorne or something like that. Okay, something a bit nicer than like St Kilda or—
Josh: sure, definitely.
Mason: Yeah, St Kilda's a cop-out, you know.
Tommy: Yeah, um, what else?
Mason: I mean, we haven't actually spoken about like date night, going out when things open up.
Tommy: I mean, this is— I guess, yeah, I guess if you need some help, bro, just ask, because I know it's— I reckon Jess is your girl to ask. Okay, because you're— it's— you're not going to somehow know that the good restaurants are here because it's— you haven't since I've known you, I don't think you've ever been out for dinner. And so other than to Charcoal Chicken in Balwyn, but I heard that's pretty good, so I fucking will give you that one. But I think you've got to take hints here. I reckon Jess is your producer of your date nights. Nothing to be ashamed of, you know. Can we do that? Can we do that?
Jess: I'd be so happy to take that on for you, Mace.
Josh: The producing, the idea of producing a date It just reminded me of last year, there was a couple of times where restaurants would reach out and say, hey, we wanna offer you to like go and have dinner, like basically like free of charge 'cause we're influencers, you know?
Jess: To you guys?
Josh: Yeah, to us, can you believe it? It's a real role.
Tommy: Hurtful, hurtful, Jess.
Josh: But anyway.
Jess: No, no, no, I was, no, no, no, sorry, I didn't mean that offensively, but it was, that is like the influence theory.
Josh: Well, it came across like, yeah, yeah, it's an influencer thing. And so anyway, "You two pieces of shit." Yeah, exactly. So I did it once and it's a very, very strange situation because they come out and they say like, "What do you want?" and all that sort of thing. And it's not that like a PR person has booked it in for you. And so you just sort of, and then it's like, oh, but like from a tipping perspective, it would still not be nice. Like, I feel like I should, tip at this point. And now surely in 2020 during a pandemic, once things open, like, is there going to be any influencer that's not going to feel like an absolute scumbag going to any form of hospitality and getting a freebie? I feel like that's, that's the repayment is posting and you drive people there. Sure, but I felt awkward even though like I was posting and all that sort of thing. It just—
Tommy: We should create a movement around influencers. It's time to pay back your meals.
Josh: Yeah, that's a great idea. Jess, have you— when you, before joining us, you worked in PR. Did you ever look after a restaurant or somewhere where you'd be giving influencers freebies?
Jess: No, but when I used to manage the Stables of Como, we would have influencers come in all the time.
Josh: Yeah, and what's the sort of etiquette or rule or how do you sort of, 'cause I guess it's this fine line where it's like you don't want to, like even when we went to Los Angeles with Tully and Grant Smiley was very generous at his restaurant, giving us free champagne and all that sort of thing. I remember Mason going, "I don't drink champagne." Shut the fuck up. But do you remember that, Mace? Did you want the champagne?
Mason: Barely.
Josh: Yeah, barely.
Jess: That's the number one for our date.
Josh: Yeah, and so what are some, so yeah, I just, the influencer thing worries me, but I would like to know, Jess, in regards to the feedback or thoughts around Mace, what he could do from a dating perspective, if you were to give, oh, could do a weekly thing, one piece of dating advice from Jess, Um, okay, I mean, you're 30 and you're single, so I don't know from a dating advice perspective.
Tommy: No, quite a long time. I like that it's a female, Jess. It's— there's a lot of masculinity. There's a lot. Yeah, there's a lot of masculine energy here. This is nice, some female perspective on the sitch.

Josh: Yeah, definitely.
Tommy: We will pap it.
Josh: Yeah. No, I'd be happy to do that. I don't know, the picnic thing's funny. I see people, online doing picnics, like some people go over, I do this, like there's no doubt, but it's like you're going for 45 minutes or an hour or maybe even 2 hours for a picnic. And like people always over-cater these things. Like I love over-catering, but it's like, who needs 3 lots of quince paste? And you've got like, you've got a whole—
Jess: You haven't seen my quince ration.
