I think the dog was the smartest person.

Exactly.

and our expedition team.

But they would load us up and they would try to start the helicopter and it wouldn't start and they would unload us.

We would go back to the places we were staying and then they would tinker with it and fix it.

Anyway, we flew out.

We got in the helicopter finally.

We got up into the air and then the Russian and French leaders of our expedition team decided that they were going to celebrate finally having taken off in this helicopter by smoking, right?

We're sitting on the gas tanks, right?

In this helicopter that we already think...

Fortunately, the helicopter had some missing windows.

So, you know, there was... Oh, boy.

There was airflow.

It's fine.

No, this was insane.

This whole... This particular expedition was particularly insane compared to other things of it.

So...

Also, I'm going to get to the story eventually, but also in part of this, we were traveling forever out into this part of the time era where they had predicted that we would be able to find mammoth bones and woolly rhino bones and all the bones of the animals we're interested in.

So we're flying out there.
