Yeah.

So, first, it's a phone call?

It's two phone calls.

First, it's a phone call from Roger saying that this is the deal that's on the table.

I know, I know.

It's something I'm trying to work on.

Not, not.

You know, when Roger made that call, I mean, I'll just tell you.

I mean, it was one of the more expletive-laden calls because, again, we'd gone through this torturous, just absolutely brutal, bloody war.

We needed that as a group of players.
