Michigan, there's a guy named Abdul El-Sayed who won the Democratic Senator primary race, and there's been a lot of controversy behind it. One of the things that's very interesting is with this guy, he is telling a story about how his OnlyFans, how his Instagram algorithm, all it does, I want you to watch this, and this went viral. I watch, at first, I kept seeing this guy like this, I'm like, why is, why did he show this video? Why is this going viral? This guy's a pretty smart guy, by the way. I think he won Valuet Victorian when he graduated. He's not a light, but I think he's a doctor. I think he's done stuff. So it's not like he is very well spoken, but this is one of the things that he said that is just extremely funny, and everybody retweeted and said, should we tell him? Watch this clip, go forward.

**Abdul El-Sayed** (1:10)
If you're on Instagram, my team has access to my Instagram account, and the things that I actually look at on Instagram, of course we get served that on your For You page.
But then every third video that scrolls on its own is gonna be some OnlyFans model. And it's because it clocked me as being a 40-some year old man.
