Yep. And maybe this all ends up coming together through the Olympics and the World Cup and all that, and it's a more grassroots over time development. The ground is fertile for cricket in America right now, especially because baseball is declining. Totally. There's a vacuum. Yep. Okay, so then the next and other kind of big mega bowl thing is IP. And IP...

Basically boils down to two things with one kind of in the middle. There's non-game media and streaming. So this is F1 drive to survive or full swing golf, you know, stuff like that. Documentary is professionally produced. and social media around the league. So there actually was a Netflix cricket documentary that came out in 2019 called Cricket Fever. Yeah, you mentioned it. I couldn't find it.

I watched it back in 2019. It's not on Netflix anymore, which sucks. It's super compelling. So this documentary, Cricket Fever, was part of what turned me on to IPL itself being a big thing. I'd always sort of been interested in cricket because of my British DNA, but I didn't know IPL was so big until I watched... this documentary, for some reason, it's not on Netflix right now.

Actually, I think I know the reason, which is it's basically flawed. The problem with the existing documentary Cricket Fever is it only follows the Mumbai Indians. It doesn't follow the whole league.

But I think if you were to, and I'm sure people are in development on this, if you were to produce a drive to survive, full league narrative, full production value, Netflix ongoing annual season special about the IPL, it would crush globally, like absolutely crush. I mean, the whole league is architected as a soap opera. And then you make a soap opera about the soap opera.

Like it's going to be so good.

Wow.

Wow.

I mean, that just speaks to the demand to follow him.

That's amazing. Anyway, that's one side of the IP. And then the other side is gambling. So, again, mega, mega, mega bull case. Gambling becomes legal in India. Like, game over.

for the IPL in India. It's a company called Dream 11. There are 11 players on a side in cricket, so it's Dream 11. And it operates just like DraftKings, but it is classified by the government as a game of skill, not a game of luck. So that's how they get away with it. Dream 11 has 200 million users and is valued at $8 billion.
