No, no one want to touch sponsorship. They all thought we were crazy. Western spreads, you're dreaming. We're in the
00:00:05
office pre-sale and it goes on sale. Someone yells out a thousand, 2,000, 3 and a half thousand yelling across the
00:00:14
office. 4,000 7,000. We go on my hair on the back seat and we're all just shaking
00:00:20
