You pay that guy.

You pay him $400,000 to climb to the top.

It actually existed.

So the showrunner is this guy, Joel Church Cooper, a brilliant writer.

He did Brockmire with Hank Azaria.

So I was a huge fan.

So he approached us about wanting to work together.

And it's like, yeah.

He said, listen, I know a guy that was stationed at this base, this American base in the Netherlands, that the only reason it existed was to do the laundry for the other 32 NATO bases in Europe and to deliver wine and cheese to each base.

But because it was in the Netherlands,

You have to hire a certain amount of Dutch citizens to work on the base.

Prostitution is legal and drugs are legal.

So what ended up happening was, of course, is it became a den for, you know, for illegal drugs and which you can't blame them.

So they shut the base down.

This guy was was stationed there, this advisor that we had.

So we loved the idea.

We didn't want to shoot anywhere near the Dutch government or the American military base that had been shut down.
