You're getting paid to climb.
That's insane.

I'm like, oh, this is kind of weird.
But then he sort of poked around, and he started comparing it to boxing matches and stuff where people get paid like $20 million to fight someone boxing.
And I was like, well, no, compared to that, it's an embarrassingly small amount.
Or if you compare it to major league baseball contracts and things, then it's like, yeah, it's an embarrassingly small amount.
But I was never complaining.
I thought it was great.
I mean, I would do it for free.
I mean, I've paid money to go up to the observation deck.
The observation deck is way up here at the top and the view is insane and the city is incredible.
And, you know, it's like 20 bucks or whatever to take the world's fastest elevator to the top of the building.
And, you know, I've done that in the Burj as well where you like pay the money and you go to the very top of the building and the view is insane.
It's like I do that like anywhere I travel.
Like the Willis Tower or whatever, the Sears Tower in Chicago.
Like I've paid the money to go to the observation deck and see the view and it's so cool.
And I'm kind of like if someone's willing to pay me to climb up to the observation deck, that's freaking cool.
Yeah.
