All right, Peter, welcome back.

Well, that was short and sweet.

I only got about 12, 13 minutes with him, which is kind of shorter than we probably would have wanted or could have done.

But I did, like for me, like achieving at that level is always interesting.

I mean, even from a pure business perspective, achieving at that level and kind of like he is a globally recognized brand.

That's the strength of WBV.

You go around the world and he isn't recognized in Ireland, the UK, wherever you go.

And obviously, there's a deeper resonance here.

But the business side of it just fascinates me.

The fact that he bases himself in Tennessee, I think a bit for life.

He said it to me off air, he found a place in America that was as close to Dublin in terms of culture as he could find it.

But I think it's as much that when you're on the road,

a couple of hundred times a year and probably now he's probably come to the tail end of his career, probably less so.

But you're on the road, like you're taping on a Monday night, you're taping again throughout the weekend, you've got kind of non-televised shows, all that kind of stuff.

So it's a busy, busy schedule.

So Brazilian Tennessee probably works for him.

But just again, to that scale of what's involved to compete at that level.

And he talks about annoying his rivals and competitors and kind of always making them legitimately angry at him.

So I just found him, you know, someone who just... For me, you have to just sit back

I think the last figure I saw was in excess of 10 million.
