But if I had been on many years, I don't think I would do it. I don't think it'd be worth it. The amount of energy it takes to Like, look, you do a deal with somebody, you know, you write a check.

I mean, it is, but you can't get the brand play without doing the work of investing in the deals and those deals, heavy tax. That's why I admire Kevin O'Leary. Kevin and I do stuff together.
