It was awesome to be there.
It was so fun.
I think the show was amazing.

So as long as that language is the exact same, and it sounds like it is, as long as the language is the exact same, if they went and they made what we would call a Scribner's change, that's just a change, you know, changing the heading, changing the title, changing the numbers.
I think it's completely fine.
And, you know, it's interesting because in the Trump indictment in Georgia, they actually had the numbers changed.
So we had this same issue and it never made it to court.
The numbers were actually changed when they scanned the indictment.
What do you mean the numbers changed?
Yeah, so it was one of those racketeering indictments.
And so they had different numbers for predicate acts.
And the numbers actually, when they scanned it, we had this whole controversy.
It never really came to light, but we had it internally about the e-filing system in the court system.
