Everything's on Netflix these days.

Yeah, exactly.

So yeah, just like tuned in online, found out that way.

And then that was kind of it.

And after that, I like took off and went overseas for about six months and like on a work and travel trip that I'd wanted to do my entire life.

And the most shameful part was like, I'd been putting this off for so long because I had to delay it so many times.

I felt quite ashamed because I left during the time of the FIFA Women's World Cup.

And I was like, you're the sports guy.

You're meant to be here when like the big tournaments come to town.

But I was like, I just need to get out.

Anyway, so I'm, I'm, I'm on this trip and, um, I get to, I mean, I'm in fucking Morocco of all places when Cricket Australia called me up and it's the head of HR again.

And she says, Ruben, I got some bad news.

I was like, all right.

She said, uh, the case has been appealed.

Everyone has to go back to court and give their evidence again as if it's completely fresh and the first time over.

And I was like, you've got to be kidding me.

It's been four and a half years being going through this.

We're going to go even longer.

And, um,

And then again, what happened after that was probably not the worst 18 months, but another incredibly difficult 18 months whereby I went through a business breakup, went through a romantic breakup, and then my business almost ran out of money several times by the time we get to the retrial.
