[0:00] Yeah.
[0:01] Tell me, with regard to the helicopters, we send out two, don't we?
[0:11] Well, my point is that after mine leaves, do the press go away?
[0:27] Well, you do have two helicopters, many of them.
[0:44] But you just have two staff and other people on the second one, too.
[0:50] But now who's in charge of the president?
[0:52] Ron or Warren or somebody there?
[0:56] They're there to get them.
[1:01] They can just get them the hell out.
[1:09] Do they do that?
[1:13] David and Julie, I'll put on a second helicopter.
[1:16] That's the way I think we did work.
[1:18] It's all right.
[1:20] It's worth doing.
[1:24] We have quite a group up here.
[1:25] It's a wheelie.
[1:28] without wanting to have it ready by a quarter of one.
[1:51] The point is that you can just call over and say, well, I don't know if it works.
[1:52] You might as well try.
[1:53] Okay.
[1:53] All right, fine.
[1:53] What else is new this morning?
[1:54] Anything?
[1:54] No.
[1:54] I thought that's, of course, what you would expect.
[1:59] But there's no reason to tell John to react to it.
[2:19] I don't think he's going to.
[2:20] I mean, George is going to find it.
[2:25] He's an undisciplined person.
[2:25] It's John, man.
[2:37] It's John around there, where you are.
[2:43] Yeah, I gotta talk to him just a little about a good message for everybody.
