Yeah. Yeah. I remember, I think I was in like Sweden recently and I was looking, there was like this timeout food court. I was like, what the, why timeout? Timeout what? I didn't get the connection with the magazine. And so for me, I just had no idea what that meant. It was like, I'm going to take a little break, take a little time out. Okay. So this... idea is super interesting.

And in the end, we spent approximately $30,000, probably more than $30,000 to get it all organized.

And I was thinking just when you were talking there is we need the Greg Eisenberg or we need the, you know, specific info.
