Speaker 2: Enjoy and remember to subscribe to the Spill so you
Speaker 2: don't miss a thing that's.
Speaker 4: From Mamma Mia. Welcome to the Spill, your daily pop
Speaker 4: culture fix.
Speaker 2: I'm child and I'm Laura Brodnick coming up on the
Speaker 2: show today. If you don't have friends, don't worry about it.
Speaker 2: In fact, if you have friends, get rid of them,
Speaker 2: you don't need them because we have some TV shows
Speaker 2: that are going to replace them.
Speaker 4: But first we've got to talk about a uish talk
Speaker 4: show host who is currently living out her dreams. So, Laura,
Speaker 4: there is a used talk show host called Sherry Shepherd
Speaker 4: who hosts her own talk show called Sherry and she's
Speaker 4: not low key but completely and boldly obsessed with Lenny Kravitz.
Speaker 1: And aren't we all in a way? Did you see
Speaker 1: that man this week? He got a Hollywood star.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, he was wearing a shirt that was actually
Speaker 2: coming up and his daughter Zoe Kravitz because she got
Speaker 2: up and gave a speech, and Channing Tatum was there.
Speaker 2: She was like, the longest relationship you have is with
Speaker 2: C three shirts. I'm like, God, bless that man.
Speaker 4: Roasted her dad, who, like, honestly at his age, he's
Speaker 4: looking smoking anyway. So Sherry Shepherd is going quite viral
Speaker 4: for the fact that she's been saying time and time
Speaker 4: again that she wants to meet Lenny.
Speaker 2: Come public campaign. It's been popping up on my different
Speaker 2: social feeds for a while that she's obsessed with learning
Speaker 2: Krabats and wanted him on his show, Like, what's the
Speaker 2: level above obsessed. Yeah, talking but kind of getting in
Speaker 2: there totally.
Speaker 4: There was Travis Kelsey that was just a little sent
Speaker 4: to this is talking on level before I melt in
Speaker 4: my seat and sweat out my wig.
Speaker 1: We have got to bring him out.
Speaker 2: Please welcome the legendary Lenny Kravat.
Speaker 1: We're on the wrong side.
Speaker 2: Okay, then I'm gonna stay right on this side.
Speaker 1: I can't like I was wondering where you're going. I
Speaker 1: can't stop staring at your chest.
Speaker 4: For a Oh god, it's so true about the fact
Speaker 4: that he looks like he wants to have sex.
Speaker 2: Who always what a lovely demeanor to have. But look
Speaker 2: this paid off for her. Her campaign worked.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so we came on the show and she screams
Speaker 4: like a schoolgirl. She just gets all young and giddy,
Speaker 4: and honestly, it's all because.
Speaker 2: She's like the professional TV personality. She's been on talk
Speaker 2: shows in America for decades and you know, hosting really
Speaker 2: big shows like The View, and now she's got her
Speaker 2: own talk shows, so she's not normally like this is
Speaker 2: the interesting thing when I saw this clip, Like she's
Speaker 2: usually very bubbleting side it, but she lost her mind
Speaker 2: when Lenny Kravi came on Stane and then when he
Speaker 2: sat down and she leans forward and just puts her
Speaker 2: hands on his bare chest and she's like, sorry, I
Speaker 2: just have to And then then it's like she has
Speaker 2: this moment that's just him and her chest alone in
Speaker 2: a room, and as a painted all, yeah, it's insane.
Speaker 5: Seriously, it's like your photo shot.
Speaker 2: And look, I get it. Sometimes you can be a
Speaker 2: professional and then you meet your ultimate crush and no
Speaker 2: matter how seasoned you are and how you are to
Speaker 2: sort of keeping your cool around celebrities, you're gonna freak
Speaker 2: out and lose your mind.
Speaker 4: Do you revert to your teenage self? So elve, who
Speaker 4: would you lose your shit if you met he?
Speaker 2: Have had to think about it. I feel like you
Speaker 2: think you know.
Speaker 4: Oh, yes, I do, the guy from The Walking Dead,
Speaker 4: because every time you mentioned him, you revert into that
Speaker 4: teenage girl.
Speaker 2: I know, so Norman readers, he's my TV crush. I
Speaker 2: do turn down interviews with him a lot, so it
Speaker 2: was like, I can't be in the same room as him.
Speaker 2: But I do think if I met him, the illusion
Speaker 2: would be gone. Like I don't think he'd be as
Speaker 2: sexy in real life as his character is in The
Speaker 2: Walking Dead. I guess, like you know, bare arms, crossbow
Speaker 2: killing walkers. I think the only person I might truly
Speaker 2: lose my mind over. I mean, look, I'm not gonna
Speaker 2: say no like a Brad Peet or something like that.
Speaker 2: I'm sure if I was in a room with him,
Speaker 2: I would still lose my mind a little bit because
Speaker 2: I feel like he's got that old school movie star charisma.
Speaker 2: I think it would be Jensen Acles.
Speaker 1: Who is that?
Speaker 2: Oh that kills me. I've been in love with this
Speaker 2: man since I was fourteen. He was on all those
Speaker 2: like teen supernatural shows when I was a teenager, So
Speaker 2: he was on Dark Angel, he was on small Ville,
Speaker 2: and then he was the co star in Supernatural with
Speaker 2: Dared Peladecki that ran for over ten years.
Speaker 1: Do you know Jared yep?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, you see it right? But I who But
Speaker 4: I mean, look at that but look at that face.
Speaker 1: Yeah it's really but it's not face.
Speaker 2: You can have a crazy good looking man and he's
Speaker 2: got no personality, no charisma. I know people don't think
Speaker 2: it's true, but when you I've talked to a lot
Speaker 2: of dumb hot men in my time, it goes away
Speaker 2: on the show. He's character Not only is he killing
Speaker 2: wances and demons and stuff, but he's got so much charisma,
Speaker 2: so much attitude. And then also he does all these
Speaker 2: live shows where he tours around with Jared, which is
Speaker 2: such nerdy okay, talking to fans, and he's just so
Speaker 2: hot and charismatic in real life. But I think if
Speaker 2: I was ever in a room with him, well, I
Speaker 2: wouldn't be I would remove myself from the situation. I
Speaker 2: would lose my mind. Where who who's your crush? Who
Speaker 2: your mind over?
Speaker 4: I've really thought about this because I made sure that
Speaker 4: they weren't it's important.
Speaker 2: Oh okay married, to be fair, that's not what's stopping
Speaker 2: us from being together.
Speaker 4: Now now I've really thought it through. So I was
Speaker 4: thinking about who is to you? And to be honest,
Speaker 4: I haven't met nearly as many celebrities you know, I've met.
Speaker 4: I've been a few, and at the end of the day,
Speaker 4: they're just people, my people.
Speaker 1: Michael B. Jordan.
Speaker 2: Oh, yes, but you've got a list of more than one. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but two okay, sure, yeah, Michael B. Jordan, I can
Speaker 2: see that you would lose your mind. You two would
Speaker 2: lean forward and put your.
Speaker 4: Hands on I would just not just stop, I just
Speaker 4: start flirting with him, like way too much.
Speaker 1: I just aggressively flat.
Speaker 4: And then the one person i'd probably is my shit
Speaker 4: with more than anyone. I read it in capital letters
Speaker 4: of my note. Very cute. Again, really don't you see
Speaker 4: personality as well?
Speaker 1: Like did you do you think does he have a personality?
Speaker 4: Have we seen that Vanity Fair video that he did
Speaker 4: that he did with his bare bottom and just that
Speaker 4: cheeky little smile and he's a huge Killing Murphy supporter,
Speaker 4: and he's irish, and okay.
Speaker 2: You're listening things to be good that are like good
Speaker 2: on paper or good to talk about. If you were
Speaker 2: really standing eye level because he's really sure, if you
Speaker 2: were staying eye level with that, I'd still be sure
Speaker 2: that with that weedy, kind of pale man, nothing against that.
Speaker 1: I told you we are different, Like no, I.
Speaker 2: Know, I know mine was a bit of a beefcake
Speaker 2: because I'm a basic bitch. But I'm just saying I
Speaker 2: think his personal I would really have to shine for
Speaker 2: you to lose your mind. Otherwise you would just be like, oh,
Speaker 2: it's just not the guy.
Speaker 1: I just guess no one makes me getting like a school.
Speaker 2: Girl so she's dead, and well, now it's my goal
Speaker 2: in life to get you in a room with Barry
Speaker 2: so I can see this experiment come to fruition. Say
Speaker 2: would happen?
Speaker 4: Just play it on the dance floor to strip down.
Speaker 4: I'd be like, yeah, I'm already sweating a little bit
Speaker 4: coming up.
Speaker 2: On the show today. As we said, get rid of
Speaker 2: your friends, because we have the TV shows about female
Speaker 2: friendships and also some pretty epic weekend watches. I missed
Speaker 2: a few episodes of the pod recently because I was,
Speaker 2: you know, often about at home at work things, and
Speaker 2: if I had been here, my weekend watch pick that
Speaker 2: I would have been screaming from the rooftops was Girls
Speaker 2: five Ever, Season three?
Speaker 1: How are we going to get her for the reunion summer?
Speaker 1: There's no reunion.
Speaker 2: Don't say that was that good.
Speaker 1: I've tried out for the House File. I was like
Speaker 1: eight times.
Speaker 2: It's on Netflix's this show that was executive produced by
Speaker 2: Tina Fey, and it's got the best cast at Sarah barrellis,
Speaker 2: Busy Phillips, Paula pelle renee Elise Goldsbury, and it was
Speaker 2: canceled by the like original studio in America who was
Speaker 2: running it, and then Netflix picked it up and they've
Speaker 2: given it this big life that they've done before with
Speaker 2: shows like Shit's Creek, so it came back for season three.
Speaker 2: It's about this girl group who in the nineties had
Speaker 2: this massive hit and then had break up, and that
Speaker 2: it picks up like twenty years later when they're all
Speaker 2: in their forties, where they bring the band Girls five
Speaker 2: Ever back together for another shot at fame. And it's
Speaker 2: got great music and all this stuff. But what I
Speaker 2: really loved about it as I turned on season three
Speaker 2: when I was in one of my various hotel rooms
Speaker 2: traveling for work recently, it was so tired, and I
Speaker 2: turned on Girls for I've Ever and it was like
Speaker 2: this warm hug because it's so rare that you see
Speaker 2: TV shows that are so centered on not just four
Speaker 2: female leads but their friendship, like the warmth of humor,
Speaker 2: the complexities of it. And it just made me so happy,
Speaker 2: and it's not something we see very often.
Speaker 4: It's not I fine, when we go to watch those
Speaker 4: comfort shows, which you are about female friendship, we end
Speaker 4: up going back to shows that are a few years
Speaker 4: old or even decades old, because they're just not getting
Speaker 4: made as much these days. It's despite so many women
Speaker 4: want to watch them, oh one hundred percent.
Speaker 2: Like we've always seen from like you know, data, that
Speaker 2: what stays in trend and what shows become cult classics
Speaker 2: is so often they are centered on female friendship. This
Speaker 2: is going back into like you know, thirty forty years
Speaker 2: ago in TV with shows like Laverne and Shirley. You
Speaker 2: won't live there, neither was I to be Fair that
Speaker 2: was sent on two best friends. But also look at
Speaker 2: Golden Girls and like, what a massive legacy that was
Speaker 2: seen that came out in nineteen eighty five and we're
Speaker 2: still talking about today and we still reference it, like
Speaker 2: that was kind of the original show centered on female friendship.
Speaker 2: And then there's been little bursts over the years, but
Speaker 2: they always kind of never really critically acclaimed. They're always
Speaker 2: seen there's a bit frothy and a bit silly. And
Speaker 2: there's a moment that sticks in my mind a couple
Speaker 2: of years ago when a few different shows came to
Speaker 2: an end and they were the Bold Type and Younger,
Speaker 2: both brilliant shows.
Speaker 1: I loved those teams.
Speaker 2: I love them. I still watch them over and over again.
Speaker 2: Both I'm Younger again, oh my god, watch it again.
Speaker 2: Obviously that was also about work and romance. I told
Speaker 2: her right now, yes, sorry, I said it had female
Speaker 2: friendship at the center. But you had these shows Younger
Speaker 2: and bold type. They came to an end around the
Speaker 2: same time. And as that happened, there were all of
Speaker 2: these cultural think pieces saying, thank god, like we're seeing
Speaker 2: the death of the girl Boss on TV. Thank god,
Speaker 2: these frothy shows are coming to an end, and there
Speaker 2: was like this celebration that this era of television was over.
Speaker 2: And that made me so angry because I want to
Speaker 2: watch shows about women being friends and I want to
Speaker 2: watch these shows where you see friendships treated with equal
Speaker 2: intensity and sensitivity as a romantic relationship. And yes, both
Speaker 2: these shows are a bit frothy and silly at times,
Speaker 2: but that's fine, Like you want to see that. I
Speaker 2: feel like, then shows about female friendship go out of fashion,
Speaker 2: and then we're just left with so many shows where
Speaker 2: we're seeing people being raped and murdered because they can
Speaker 2: be seen as prestige dramas, and so we get to
Speaker 2: watch those, or we're seeing this flood of reality TV
Speaker 2: where you see women screaming each other and fighting and
Speaker 2: having these really dramatic relationships. There's a place for that
Speaker 2: as well, But I just wish there was more of
Speaker 2: a place with female friendship on TV and it wasn't
Speaker 2: seen as frothy, and it wasn't being replaced with women
Speaker 2: being killed, Like I don't want to watch that. I
Speaker 2: want to see women going get coffee together and have
Speaker 2: these complex friendships and have those kind of dynamics on TV.
Speaker 4: The timing of it all as well, it was the
Speaker 4: death of the Girl Boss in general. Everyone was proudly
Speaker 4: saying that we're done with this, We're done.
Speaker 1: With the hustle around, which was such a shame.
Speaker 4: After years of rejecting what like Sophia Russo did with
Speaker 4: Nasty Gal, we were really trying to we were talking
Speaker 4: more about work life balance, So it wasn't just the
Speaker 4: shows that we were rejecting. It was kind of the
Speaker 4: whole idea of The Girl Boss in general. So I
Speaker 4: really do hope that these type of shows do come
Speaker 4: back because we are really missing that. And the thing is,
Speaker 4: if you speak to any of your female friends, most
Speaker 4: of them will say when they're having a bad week
Speaker 4: or they just want to snuggle up and watch something
Speaker 4: that makes them feel good. It'll always be a show
Speaker 4: about female friendships.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a very common fitting place for us to
Speaker 2: sit in. And also, as like I've written about so much,
Speaker 2: I know, like you're so aware that finding friends in
Speaker 2: adulthood is such a difficult thing, especially now. And I'm
Speaker 2: not saying I know. I was joking at the top
Speaker 2: about you don't need friends, you can have TV shows.
Speaker 2: It's not completely true, but I think, especially like in
Speaker 2: lonely moments or vulnerable moments, you crave TV shows that
Speaker 2: show you friendship because that's what we're craving in real life.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, and these characters become a part of your world.
Speaker 4: So I thought I would mention two of my favorite
Speaker 4: TV shows about female friendships. And one's not surprising at all.
Speaker 4: It is Sex and the City, and that is because
Speaker 4: it is the show that, really, for so many women
Speaker 4: is the pinnacle of just the female friendship that you want.
Speaker 1: Maybe we could be each other so much.
Speaker 5: And then we could let men be just these great,
Speaker 5: nice guys to have fun with.
Speaker 4: And the funny thing is we were talking about before
Speaker 4: we were recording that a lot of people actually haven't.
Speaker 2: Seen Yes, because I was nearly going to ridicule you
Speaker 2: for bringing that up because it seemed like a kind
Speaker 2: of a sort of basic bitch, but it's like a
Speaker 2: very obvious anta. I am a basic, but as am
Speaker 2: I very proudly. But then there are so many people,
Speaker 2: especially younger women in our office, who when I mentioned
Speaker 2: Sex and the City like never seen it and don't
Speaker 2: desire to see it because they're like, oh, no, that's
Speaker 2: an old show. It's not for me, and it has
Speaker 2: obviously it's aged badly in some parts. But the core
Speaker 2: of it of like female friendships and how those who
Speaker 2: will become your family, I think has really like holds
Speaker 2: up today in a way that so many other TV
Speaker 2: shows don't.
Speaker 1: So just if you haven't watched it, start it. If
Speaker 1: you have, it's all on again.
Speaker 4: All six seasons are on Bitch second recommendation. There are
Speaker 4: only two seasons sadly, but our audience and I think
Speaker 4: all of our office really got into it.
Speaker 1: Firefly Lane on Netflix. You can't go a whole day
Speaker 1: without talking to me. It's too much. I need you
Speaker 1: for my soulmate me.
Speaker 5: Bitch, You're the bitch.
Speaker 4: Bitch.
Speaker 1: It's a comfort show.
Speaker 4: It is about two female friends who meet as young
Speaker 4: girls on Firefly Lane. You just watch them over the
Speaker 4: next thirty years. It's Katherine Heigl and Sarah Chalk and
Speaker 4: it just follows them over their trajectory of their lives.
Speaker 1: And yeah, it's a goodie.
Speaker 4: It's a shame it got cancer up for season two,
Speaker 4: but I still recommend watching both of them.
Speaker 2: Well, coming up next, more recommendations on friendship. Oz got
Speaker 2: real wholesome all of a sudden, and then we can
Speaker 2: watch Okay, I feel like this one gets brought up
Speaker 2: more as like an iconic comedy, but for me, it
Speaker 2: is the pinnacle of female friendship on TV. And it's
Speaker 2: a show called broad City. Yes, can watch it on
Speaker 2: stan It's this amazing, very intense comedy. And it's Alana
Speaker 2: Glazier and Abby Jacobson who were best friends and like
Speaker 2: co creators in real life, and they made this web
Speaker 2: series about these two best friends called Abby and Alana
Speaker 2: living New York and all these crazy adventures they go through.
Speaker 2: And it's not the typical best friends living in New York.
Speaker 2: It's very much like you see, kind of like the
Speaker 2: rougher side of it, and like not having any money,
Speaker 2: living in a basic apartment, all that sort of stuff,
Speaker 2: but it is so very funny. And Amy Poehler saw
Speaker 2: their web series and became aware of the show and
Speaker 2: kne as an executive producer and blew it up to
Speaker 2: this big, critically acclaimed comedy series that it turned into.
Speaker 2: And like they go on you know, Weird Dates as
Speaker 2: a very iconic episode about pegging, just like it's so good,
Speaker 2: it's so funny, and they go on these absurdist adventures,
Speaker 2: but the heart of it always is the fact that
Speaker 2: their friendship is the core. So that's on stand. You
Speaker 2: should watch that. And the second one I'm gonna go
Speaker 2: with is Dead to Me on Netflix.
Speaker 1: Oh I love Dead to Me.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, Christy and Applegate, Linda Cardlini. And also
Speaker 2: I love that a lot of these kind of stories
Speaker 2: are childhood best friends and like friends who have been
Speaker 2: like around each other in their early twenties, like Sex
Speaker 2: and the City is very much like that Broad City.
Speaker 2: You know, they're in their twenties and that's how they
Speaker 2: become friends. So I feel like a lot of shows
Speaker 2: centering younger friendship or friendship like Firefight Lane that started
Speaker 2: from childhood, whereas Dead to Me is two in their
Speaker 2: forties they come together over not a spoiler. I feel
Speaker 2: like everyone's sort of across the show now, but you know,
Speaker 2: one HiT's the other one's husband with their car, and
Speaker 2: it's all secret and then it comes out and they
Speaker 2: hide dead bodies together and stuff. But I just love
Speaker 2: that you can find this crazy new friendship in your
Speaker 2: forties and it's so complex between these women and obviously
Speaker 2: this massive secret comes out between them, but it doesn't
Speaker 2: change where their friendship is and they become each other's
Speaker 2: like complete Ride or Die. Christina Applegate and Linda CARDLINI
Speaker 2: are so good in it right together. They really are
Speaker 2: defining performances. So that's on Netflix. I feel like most
Speaker 2: people have watched it, but if you haven't watched it,
Speaker 2: or if you've seen a rewatch, like I think it
Speaker 2: really hords out for sure as a rewatch and like
Speaker 2: more TV shows about female friendship, it's all I want
Speaker 2: to watch and not women getting murdered.
Speaker 1: The weekend Watch.
Speaker 4: Okay, so on to weekend watch, and I have a
Speaker 4: movie that I'm really looking forward to watching.
Speaker 1: So people probably don't know this.
Speaker 4: I love a biopic, huge fan of biopic and they
Speaker 4: twist about you. Yeah, and the more you know, so
Speaker 4: There's a new Netflix biopic that comes out today.
Speaker 1: It's called Shirley. I have something I want to tell you.
Speaker 1: I am running for President of the United States, unpeaving
Speaker 1: the rule for a lot of other people looking like
Speaker 1: me to get elected.
Speaker 4: For broadcast first black representative.
Speaker 1: You sound just like every other politician? Do I look
Speaker 1: like every other politician?
Speaker 5: Truly?
Speaker 1: It killed win, and why can't I win? I have
Speaker 1: an opportunity to make a difference. I don't think I'm special.
Speaker 1: I just want to remind people what it's possible.
Speaker 5: You won't do all that.
Speaker 1: I'm a schoolteacher from Brooklyn. Harriet was just a sleeve.
Speaker 1: Rosa was just a domestic. So it's based the true
Speaker 1: story of Shirley Chisholm.
Speaker 4: She was the first black congresswoman and the movie follows
Speaker 4: her run for US president in nineteen seventy two, which
Speaker 4: is just completely groundbreaking. Rigita King, who I love, plays Shirley,
Speaker 4: but also stars the late Lance Reddick, Terrence Howard, and
Speaker 4: Lucas Hedges. Firstly, the trailer looks amazing, and secondly, it's
Speaker 4: directed by Academy Award winner John Ridley, who wrote Twelve
Speaker 4: Years a Slave, and it's from the executive producers of
Speaker 4: two of my favorite films, Judas and the Black Bessie
Speaker 4: and Spotlight. Yeah, just a big fan and it's already
Speaker 4: got me in the heart strings. I bot goose bumps,
Speaker 4: and that's what I'm sadly in for this weekend.
Speaker 1: So it's Sureley on Netflix. It's dropped today.
Speaker 2: I think we've accidentally done a bit of a girl
Speaker 2: power episode. I think we have with our recommendations and
Speaker 2: our chat. I don't hate it now. My recommendation is
Speaker 2: the girls on the bus.
Speaker 5: Here we are for political reporters, rivals, vicious competitors getting
Speaker 5: entirely out of control. Why because with state of American
Speaker 5: politics is the state of our own lives. Twenty six
Speaker 5: cities and fourteen states in five days. I'm going to
Speaker 5: remain detached, objective.
Speaker 1: And mostly sober. How did you get this number? It's
Speaker 1: a serious shit. They need to work together.
Speaker 5: Oh oh to your on the record is off the
Speaker 5: record to being stuck on that bus?
Speaker 1: Would you crazy?
Speaker 4: Bit?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a political comedy, which they don't usually go together.
Speaker 2: I would say it's a bit more comedic and like dramaedy.
Speaker 2: Then it is a political kind of satire that people
Speaker 2: were really expecting. And it tells the story of these
Speaker 2: four female journalists who are following this group of very
Speaker 2: flawed presidential candidates. And it's like their story, as when
Speaker 2: presidential candidates go on the road often like the same
Speaker 2: group of journalists will follow them around for months reporting
Speaker 2: on their events and their interviews and their campaign and
Speaker 2: all that sort of stuff. And so it's the story
Speaker 2: of these women and like their friendship and the love
Speaker 2: stories they have, the scandals they get involved in. And
Speaker 2: what's super interesting is that it was co created and
Speaker 2: produced by Amy Chozik, who is an American writer journalist
Speaker 2: who previously worked at the New York Times, and she
Speaker 2: was on the campaign trail with Hillary Clinton and the
Speaker 2: woman saw some stuff. So then she wrote a book
Speaker 2: about her time on the campaign trail and everything she saw,
Speaker 2: and the book is called Chasing Hillary. So Girls on
Speaker 2: the Bus is based on her memoir. And it's got
Speaker 2: a great cast. Melissa Bernost is in there, who a
Speaker 2: lot of people know from Glee and Supergirl. The rest
Speaker 2: of the cast is great. I don't know, I just
Speaker 2: like quite like it. Like it's not hard hitting political satire,
Speaker 2: it's not a really intense comedy. It's just kind of
Speaker 2: an interesting watch. Episodes of Dropping Weekly. There are two
Speaker 2: out now on Binge if you're just looking for something
Speaker 2: else to watch that's based on a real story.
