I think we also not I think.
1:03:46
I know that when we are out in the communities, we're always talking talking about our trainings and trying to create those opportunities, right, to to organize trainings to go back into the community and make sure that New Yorkers have the information.
1:04:03
We've also launched last year we launched a radio show that we do at the last month of of every the last Monday of every month.
1:04:11
And so we welcome, you know, opportunities to engage different speakers to come and be part of of that radio show as a, you know, as guests to talk about particular issues.
1:04:27
And also through our annual report, we ensure that New Yorkers know, right, the kind of trainings that we have done out in the communities.
1:04:40
I don't have that number with me but we can
1:04:57
I I would.
1:04:58
And I
1:05:13
I will tell you that it has been exciting for us.
1:05:17
We we to be able to do, you know, to do the radio show and it's just another means of communication to New Yorkers.
1:05:25
Right?
1:05:26

1:04:42
we can get that with When think about government, like we do things I feel for the sake of doing it but nobody knows about it or listens to it.
1:04:49
So it's like a quite frankly a waste of our government time and resources.
1:04:53
Like I personally don't care about a radio show if no one's listening to it.
1:04:56
I mean it sounds good.
1:04:58
know like podcasting is like super popular.
1:05:00
So if it's like podcast format, dope.
1:05:03
But like how many people are actually subscribing and listening to it because if it's only two people like it's a waste of money.
1:05:08
We we are on Spotify but we definitely could get you the numbers.
1:05:32
Yeah I would love to understand the success by way of like metrics in terms of how many people are actually tuning into listening to it versus how much money and staff time resources that you're spending to actually do it.
1:05:47
should I value those things.
1:05:50
I think we should like provide metrics for them to ensure a success.
1:05:57
So would you agree that if more people knew about the different trainings that you do, the very extensive anti discrimination laws we
