I was looking at a map the other day with my buddy Joe from New York, and I pointed at a blob in South America and said “Hey what’s that?!” He said “Uraguay.” I said “Yeah. I’m aware and comfortable with my gender, thanks. But what is country on the map?”

Spotify claims that "because of streaming, the music industry in Uruguay has grown 20% in 2022 alone."

Yeah, sure, you must be totally right.
