from outside but also the fighting within it make it like one of the most complicated and treacherous work environments ever created is that fair that is fair and i will say the one thing we had in common there's a couple things we have in common was we were threatening a lot of established interests in our own separate ways.

And Colin's got one speed, and that's go. And he wasn't afraid to challenge people when they're acting stupid and wanted to keep doing the same thing. Darren's the same way.
