I'm okay with that. I'm not a hugely Apoltan fan, but it's fine, but I I yeah. Number nine is moose tracks. I you know what this is. So it's supposed to be vanilla ice cream with peanut butter cups and fudge. Okay, I could possibly do that. Number eight is strawberry, which
I think is interesting. Strawberry is one of those things that I don't anybody like. In caseion, I'll order a strawberry shake just because, like, why not, let's go.

I'm like, I like chocolate ice cream just by itself. Doing anything to it. Oh, I don't put your sauce on it. We put any chocolate topping. It's too much for
me, But I like it. What okay? And so I got I got so I was like, just like okay. And then number one is vanilla. Of course though it's just it's simple and easy. I like vanilla, like vanilla, vanilla bean tho's are fine. My favorite ice cream is cherry ice cream, cherry vanilla or black cherry scream, anything with cherry's in it. That's my favorite ice cream. Yes, okay. These are the top ten baby names. I'm always curious and I would do girls first and

trust me. Nothing's running around now. These are the ten most watched Netflix shows of twenty twenty three, and and and I and I always wonder when it comes to streaming, how to make these determinations. And it's and so for you guys at home to feel I'm learning this, it's ours viewed. So it's how many hours everybody collectively watches. It makes the most popular, and so these are top ten. Number ten is flu Bar season one,
which I actually watched the first half and I finished it. It's Arnold Schwartzenegger's new series. It's really funny and it's a comedy action series. I've ran across it by accident, and I love the episodes I saw already really good, so checked that I got finished. I got finished up. Number nine. Number nine is Ginny and Georgia Season one from twenty twenty one comedy drama. I have friends who've done the music for it, so shout out to
Ben and them who done the music for it. Number eight is Outer Banks season three. Outer Banks is an ongoing conflict between two treasures seeking teenage groups in a coastal town along the outer banks of North Carolina. And so I don't I yues, So I guess that's what I don't. Never see the show in my life, don't even know it numbers all Number seven, I haven't watched it yet. With my favorite telenovelas, but now Rena del Cer
season three or twenty twenty two Kate duck Steele's My Girl. I watched the first couple of seasons of it, of the show they did, they try to do an American version of this wasn't the same, but Loriento Store is so good. Kate Duck still is the bomb. It's in all Spanish. I speak Spanish. I can understand it, so I love it and I think it's just it's just it's my favorite. I don't watched them three yet. I know it's on my list, so IRY watched that. Number six
is You season four with Penn Bashley. I'm wanting to check out this series or it's a trip now, so one day I'll catch up on it. It's supposed to it's a trip. It's a psychological thriller. Number five is Queen Charlotte, a Bridgerton story. I didn't watch Bridgerton, but it's these are all successful. Of course. Number four is Wednesday season one. So it's interesting because it's like it's a spin off of the Adams Family. It took one of the characters and made her the lead. But I think it's
always interesting, like they did the Velma series. They did Velma from the Scooby Doo Gang. I love I love stuff like that, like let's think I take a character and make a series around that person. I love it. I don't watch it yet, so but I heard it's it's really good. Number three is The Glory Season one. It's a South Korean drama. I know that that's very big. Number two is Ginny and Georgia's season two. So this series is huge, huge. So, and the number one
series on Netflix is The Night Agent Season one. It's an action thriller that follows FBI agent Peter Seller who finds the throwing the mass conspiracy is running a mole at the highest level. So it's a conspiracy thing my entire life. That's cool, Okay, Sean Ryan, somebody I love the Shield so it say says I had no idea, Gabriel Baso, is it it? Yeah,
okay, I've check it out. So those are the top ten most viewed, and they say they're done by men, and so for example, this number one, it was watched, viewed, eight hundred and twelve, one hundred million hours viewed. That's how I do it. So that's that was watched. Well, we're done with our experiment. We're done with our experiment. This was a lot of fun and a lot of you have come to me with ideas on other things I could do. I was show called
have you Heard of Me? It's audio only. Check that out because I do spotlight certain random things from this seventy to two thousand, so check that out. You may like that one. But I may do some more series like this in twenty twenty four pick up fee or a year or something.
If you have suggestions, please tell me. Someone asks you to do something in the soap world, possibly like maybe every ten years about the soaps and the state of soap, So everybody who knows this do this was fun for me, but also now it's turning into something compastingly a little bigger, which you know, when you do things are fun, that's what happens. So we'll see what happens. I'm James Love Junior. I am fifty blessed.
I'm heading into twenty twenty four. I'll be fifty five years old and starting the next ten years of my life.
