But today, um, today is, um, we have a beautiful city behind us, and this is the place we're going to.
Right.
So, you know, I was talking to my dad, and I said, my mom, she said that, um, she wanted your dad to come and have a meeting with her mom, and today, um, in other words, it's the 5 at 6.
Right?
Yes.
Let me just tell you a couple of things just to say yes or no.
Okay?
Yeah.
Um, you know, the Minister of Culture, the Minister of Socialism, you don't read that?
No.
Now I've got it.
When to host a luncheon?
Yeah.
Um, if you will not be doing the food, you know, cardboard and all that.
Uh-huh.
But anyway, who wants to host a luncheon?
Um, it's going to people from the Gulf Coast.
Fine.
I'll do that.
And that's all.
That's good.
But I don't know.
That's fine.
You can do that.
That's fine.
That's good.
That's fine.
You can do that.
Yeah.
Who did you do one?
I did both.
You do two of them.
One meets one, so the letter gets them one by one.
That's what I did.
Okay?
Okay.
Fine.
And then also, uh, the mayor, uh, Tony Brown, and the mayor, uh, Foxconn, uh, did I do three different comments on either one?
I did both.
You did both of those things, yes.
Well, you have a great time.
You enjoy seeing it, don't you?
Oh, good.
Very nice, huh?
Good.
Well, we just wish you a happy New Year.
Yeah, happy New Year, Scotty.
It's been a great day for us.
That's right.
It's 9 o'clock here.
Okay.
Well, we wish you the best.
Happy New Year, and we'll see you when you get back, huh?
Right.
But do all those things.
That's a good idea.
Oh, okay.
Okay, honey.
Have a good one.
Bye.
Thanks, honey.
