And I said, I'm not going to worry about this company until I get down to 30 million. Then I said, 20 million. 15 million. I don't know why. Sorry, I'm choking up here. No, it's all fine.

So anyhow, so I decided I was going to, until I get down to 15 million, then 12, then 10, then eight. And I think eight or six, I decided I'm going to close the company down because it didn't look like there was no balls, chance in hell of this company ever making the turn. And then so what I did was, I sold my original company.

I mean, sold all the furniture and stuff, had really nice furniture. Stupid. Furniture don't make you no money. And moved, bought a horse farm, an area where it was legal for breeding horses, but it wasn't legal for developing software. That's a fucked up sauce. The phoenixes, right? So I bought this big sign, had it painted, called it the Go Daddy Ranch sign. right on the wall.

And then, um, and then I decided I went to, went to, um, um, Hawaii by myself. And I was going to decide how I was going to, going to shut it down, how I was going to pay any severance, how I was going to pay my creditors, and then what I was going to do. Um, so I, um, went to, went to Hawaii. I, uh, I went to Hawaii. Epiphany happened. More and more I was there. I didn't want to shut it down.

Epiphany happened where all of a sudden, one day, this guy comes up to me. And, you know, he's happy as can be. Throw the keys in here. Hey, Ole Miss Parsons. Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. And I said, I'm doing great, buddy. And I mean, and I think, this guy's parking cars, probably has nothing, right? He's the happiest guy in the world. I got six or eight million dollars. I'm miserable.

Now, what's wrong with this picture? Ah, so I decide at that point to go back home And I shut it down. As the company goes broke, I'll go broke with it. I decided I could always park cars. But then I decided, you know what? I'm not a big-time gambler, but I like craps. I said, I'll go to Vegas and just work on a table. It sounded like a fun life. So I...

We'll just do that, and then this is about January, February, and then October, or maybe later that year, the dot-com crash happens. And when the dot-com crash happened, GoDaddy was born. And then I had, instead of guys, waiting in line to... I mean, instead of not refusing to sell me anything at any price. I mean, every week, at least one or two companies were doing business with Vanish.
