And I'm like, you know, I'm going to Australia for a month.
I'm not even sure we're coming back.
And I'll come to dinner.
And we went to dinner and started talking to the guys.
And they're like, we make it so that deployments don't blow up on Salesforce.
And I was like, yeah, right.
Tell me more, right?
And by the end of dinner, I was like, can I invest in this company?
And they're like, no, you can't invest in our company unless you give us advice and we get to know you.
So then the entire rest of the week that they were in San Francisco, we were basically going to dinner, going to lunch, hanging out, learning about the product.
And I ended up going to Australia and said, here's my cell phone number.
If you need anything, call me.
I'm happy to be a resource for you.
And they called me and they said, Salesforce is offering to buy us.
What do you think we should do?
And I'm like, well, is it a good deal?
And they're like, it's a great deal.
But we didn't listen.
This was in 2018.
And they said, but we think this is going to be really big.
