[0:09] I want you to get off your ass and just talk to Aarons and the rest. [0:13] And by God, you don't stimulate anything, but there's a lot of people that are for us. [0:19] Now you get off your ass and get up and get them to make a few things. [0:22] Is that clear? [0:23] Yes, sir, it sure is. [0:24] Jerry and Les wanted to come down and see you. [0:26] I guess that was handled on the phone, though. [0:28] I just talked to Les. [0:29] Good. [0:30] But he was complaining about the fact that you weren't doing a goddamn thing. [0:33] So get off your ass and do something. [0:35] All right, sir. [0:36] All right. [0:36] We're at it. [0:37] Bye.
