[56:17] I told him whenever we took a trip to the future, actually he had enough time at the moment. [56:22] You never know. [56:23] I said it was my plan to have Scali build as the product advisor in this field. [56:29] Because he works so well with Digger and Mosky and those are just great. [56:35] It's all part of the business of building Scali. [56:39] But I mean, this time, that's what we don't want to do. [56:42] We don't plan on doing it. [56:45] But I'm pleased that it's working out for us. [56:48] And every interest will take it. [56:50] Roger, of course, will go. [56:53] He's got to exist and have them all. [56:55] The other thing to say to his sister, see if what he can do is see if that statistical fluke doesn't become the storyline. [57:01] And you see, I know he can. [57:04] Yeah? [57:06] Yeah? [57:07] Yeah? [57:08] Well, they've got to say, let's get our side of the question. [57:13] Now, what really happened is, it seems to me, earlier when they went up, they went up, they never went to 7.2. [57:31] I mean, it probably was about 5.8, and now it's really 5.6, but it did go down. [57:38] Yeah, but the point is that the van that we took was also a participant. [57:42] Now we're going to correct him. [57:47] Yeah? [57:49] Sure? [57:50] That's right. [57:51] All right, good.
