definitely looking back at it now, it was, it was quite an ordeal to go through. But I think that's only because I'm aware of what it was now.

It was daunting because, you know, like Josh said, you just didn't know if that was going to work. And I always said to him, if it doesn't work, it's not your fault. It's just, you know, one of those bad luck stories in life. On the flip side is, you know, we come out the other side and it worked.
