Stan Weston approached Don Levine at like that toy fair and said, I got a great idea.

And apparently he gave him one hundred thousand dollars just for the idea.

And I definitely associate the NES, or I didn't realize this until I started researching it.

And then he since he worked with Hasbro, he's like, guys, I've got a good idea here.

Some people call it the NES.

Did you know that?

No.

Really?

So that roughly translates into about $782,000 in today money, which is good dough for an idea, but of course, any time you're the schmuck that comes up with the idea that you sell for even 782 grand and it goes on to be like hundreds of millions of dollar business, you probably always kind of feel like, I got taken for a ride.

Yes.

Yeah, some actual, like, legit gamers call it NES.

Other people call it NES, and apparently there's some big disagreement.

I've always called it NES.

Yeah.

But I always associate the NES with a pretty significant portion of my life.

Like, it always is tied to Christmas as well.

All right.

Well, you're going to wax nostalgic a bit more, even though I did play a little bit of these here and there.

Okay.

So one of the things – like the Nintendo Entertainment System has an amazingly great story to it.
