Is there quick context to give?

It sounds like you kind of did it in the second half there, the Ilya back and forth there, but for someone who's unfamiliar.

And I think Wes gave a good explanation for that, why judges can't do that, for example, in one or two of Mindkillers ago, because they'd actually be held in contempt of court or something or disbarment risk or something.

But yeah, a board that's just like, oh, I guess they're not going to listen to us anyway, we should quit.

It's like, no, you guys should stick around and do whatever damage you can, at least on the way out.

But I say that from Zodiac, I have no idea what that role entails or what they're even capable of doing.

weirdly disappointingly seems to be the case over and over that being a duplicitous asshole seems to never actually catch up with people this is a thought I've had since adolescence of like man living life on easy mode is just like if I was a bad person I could live life on easy mode imagine how much easier things would be if I didn't mind being a terrible person

Yeah, but only easier in the sense of satisfying your asshole-ish goals, not of being a happy, good person.

Oh, man.

I mean, I guess the surprise is nobody, because that's what they... If, again, running with your Jeep analogy from earlier, they switch to the Chevy Tahoe or whatever similarly sized vehicle is, and they say, we want your guys as killdozers.

Well, we're not going to make you killdozers.

Fine, we're going to go with these guys.

All right, we'll be happy to make you not killdozers.

That's not how that deal would shake out, right?

They want killdozers.

They're going to get them.

I guess it's disappointing to have this confirmed, but I'm not the least bit surprised.

Although I am curious, like, I have no idea how set in stone any of this is.

You know, they could say we made a deal, but is that a handshake agreement?

Did they, you know, rush into the office and sign paperwork on Friday at, you know, 4.30 in the afternoon?
