So we pull out the check, and we hold it up, and we're like, you are our favorite company. We're giving you a check for $50,000,000. No questions asked. And they said, you're out of your minds. But I will tell you that a couple of months later, they decided to do a very large funding round, and when they did it, we were their first call, and we were the largest investor in that round. [00:55:08] S1: That's an amazing story. Small detail. Those checks, you can't actually cash them. Right? [00:55:13] S0: No. You cannot. Asking for a friend. [00:55:15] S1: I knew the answer to that. Brian, this has been an absolute blast. Thanks for [00:55:18] S0: joining me [00:55:19] S1: on the show. [00:55:19] S0: My pleasure. Really nice to spend time with you.
