Mystery Island (Hallmark Movies & Mysteries - 2023)

[00:00:00] Hi! I'm Brian and I love Knives Out! I'm Brian. I also, I like Knives Out but I also love it. I'm Dan. I love Knives Out and the second one's good too. And I despise Hallmark mystery movies. And this is the Deck The Hallmark Podcast. Deck The Hallmark gets this podcast. And friends host this podcast. We hope you like this jolly podcast. Well hello everybody. For a second I thought we were actually going to review Knives.

[00:00:37] I was like Knives Out. I mean we might as well. We might as well. With today's movie. That's exactly right. You know what's fun about living in South Carolina? In Greenville particularly? Because this is living, this is Greenville. Is whenever the weather changes, it never changes for long. And it will flip flop. And we're in the flip flop time of the year. It's time for the flip flop time of the year! As we call it down here, fake fall. It always just kicks the crap out of me.

[00:01:06] Yeah. I'm always just a mess. You wake up, it's 58, it's crisp. And then by 4pm it's 85 degrees. And it's almost like our bodies weren't made for that. No. Our bodies just don't have a... 27 degrees. They don't know what to do. Our bodies are like, I'm trying! I'm trying but you're goofing it up! You know what drives me nuts? What's your body sound like again one more time? I'm sorry. I'm trying to goof it! Sounds old. He does. Sounds like an old curmudgeon in there. Which, accurate.

[00:01:32] It's all the Papa John's. Yeah. The thing that low-key drives me the most nuts about this is that it gets just cool enough at night to where my air conditioning isn't running and my heat isn't running. And it's just stagnant. And I don't sleep well. Like I wake up. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like I feel like it's, I feel it really warm. Like I feel like the, like I need the AC going. But it's not cold enough to where I'm starting to feel cold and need the heat going.

[00:01:58] And it's my least favorite time of the year to sleep. I'm doing a sleeping podcast later, guys. It's going to be awesome. You want to see my impression? Go, go. I was just thinking, I was just going to go. How's your body sound? Oh, hey, what's up everybody? I still think I got a lot of life left in me, but I don't. The inside of your body is a stand-up comedian. I'm cautiously optimistic for no reason at all. Yeah. See, that's the difference between your body. My body knows the end is dear.

[00:02:25] Your body is still tricking itself. I think I've got a few more decades left. My body gets it. My body's like, man, what's even the point? What's the point of any of it? Brian, though, Brian's body. What's Brian's body sound like? He thinks he's going to live to be a thousand because he's a week for sure. This guy's here in Greenville. Yeah. This is Greenville. Well, this is living. This is living. And this is Greenville. That's right. Why do they call it a blue zone? I don't know. I started this documentary. I don't know why.

[00:02:55] It's on September 29th because 30 is December and twice on February. Every other half day. And it went a little something like this. A bunch of... Don't say another word. A bunch of rich folks are at a mansion on an island doing a murder mystery party. You might call it Mystery Island. It's a great name. You might if you want to. Sure. Rick, how you doing, bud? Is he... Rick?

[00:03:24] He's not into this. We'll have to turn his mic on later. We'll try to fix... We'll fix it. He's on Mystery Island. Wow. Well, we'll try to pipe him in later. We then meet London police psychiatrist, Dr. Amelia Priestley. Come on down. Who needs a break from interviewing baddies that are making threats on her family. Her friend, Baroness Jane, says you should go to Mystery Island. Baroness. I'm a Baroness.

[00:03:53] I invested in this island. Come on. So she agrees and off they go. When they arrive, they see a picture on the wall of all the investors, including Andrew Walker and Tyler Hines have invested into this island over the years. So they're given a riddle and then basically they're set to try to figure out what this riddle could possibly mean. And a riddle is basically just hickory dickory dogs. Right. Great riddle. And so what am I supposed to do with that?

[00:04:20] Baroness and Emily end up finding a secret passageway behind a bookcase. And they start heading up these stairs into a hidden office. They look outside on the porch and they see a couple bodies. One is of the butler who has an eye patch. We did it. And the next is somebody who just looks like he's like the help. Like, what's going on with this guy? Yeah, what's he doing up there?

[00:04:46] And Amelia quickly realizes that one of the bodies is actually really dead. It's the help guy. He's got a fake nose. They realize that he's like the big he's the big man. He's the head honcho. Someone killed the head honcho. So the police come. They start investigating. And naturally, Amelia offers up her special set of skills to assist in the investigation. Amelia wasn't an investor on the island.

[00:05:13] And so naturally, all the other investors that are there are suspicious of her. And they're going to try to make it, even if she's not in on the murder, they're going to try to make it seem that way. She overhears someone named Phoenix plotting to frame the murder on her. Jane is also her buddy. Jane, remember her? She's also doing some snooping around of her own. Thinks a guy named Jay did it. She searches Jay's room, finds nothing. So he's in the clear. Might as well work together.

[00:05:42] Amelia and Detective Trent tells Detective Trent what she heard Phoenix say about her. And also, hey, big news. The fingerprints came back. And apparently, Phoenix's fingerprints are on the thing. And so must be her. She has motive, too. It turns out that she threatened him for breaking up with her. They were a thing. And now they're not. So Phoenix is arrested and thrown in a storage room, the most secure of all the locations.

[00:06:08] In a, what I would say is a lapse of judgment, I don't know, Detective Trent decides that he's going to just start macking on Amelia. They're like hanging out. They're walking on the beach. You know, all right, bare feet. And they end up finding another body. What? You said macking three times today. I want to be very clear. Well, I said it the other two times because I wrote it down and it was fresh on my mind. Macking. Got it. Macking. After some chatter, Jane and that other guy, Jay,

[00:06:38] think they know who done it based off of the Hickory Dickery Doc. You know how Hickory Dickery Doc actually means hassa hassa dick. Whatever it is. I don't know. This podcast is G. I know. They think that it was a couple on the island that have the motive. Did you say horse? Oh, Rick. Your mic's working. Rick, we checked in with you earlier. You weren't there. Are you okay?

[00:07:08] You turned it off. I wouldn't. You savage being. Why would I call on you if I was turning your mic off? That's a little joke you're playing. You didn't call nobody. Interesting. Interesting. You're going to listen back. Somebody blindfolded me in my booth. I couldn't even see my cigarettes. Don't smoke, children. Looks like you found them, though. Anyway, Amelia and Trent say not so fast. That's not what happened at all. Turns out. That's hassa hassa dick. Thank you. That's what I was trying to say.

[00:07:37] Turns out they think over there. Their theory is that head honcho killed himself because he had terminal cancer, but he did it in such a way to make it look like he was murdered as a sort of revenge on the investors that were trying to take over the island. So that's fine. So, yeah, everybody's free to leave. No one did anything wrong. The other woman who died, that was a mistake. That was just a tripsy go daisy. So everybody's clear to go.

[00:08:07] And one of the rich dudes offers Amelia and Trent a job to write the mysteries. And don't worry, they can just do it on the weekends. And also, here's a bunch of money to do so. And that, my friends, was Mystery Island. Knives out. We did it. We did do it. We're going to take a quick break. We're going to come back. We're going to break this movie down with four segments here on Deck the Hallmark.

[00:08:39] Oh, welcome back. We're talking about Mystery Island, a.k.a. Hallmark's Knives Out. And it's time to break this movie down. We're going to start with The Hot Take. It's where we share exactly how we felt about this movie. Brian, what did you think, bud? Yeah, I was looking forward to this. A classic whodunit. This is going to be fun. This is going to be different. And I liked it, most of it. Basically, up until the end. I'm sure we'll all have similar feelings here. The whole build-up to the end was really fun. Really cool stuff happening.

[00:09:09] The Secret Passageway. All this stuff happening. Great. I just felt a little manipulated at the end with... Just a little. A little bit. A little manipulation. Like, I didn't know there was a drone controller. Did we know there was a drone controller? They mentioned the drone controller once, and they said, Where's the drone? Okay. I missed that earlier. I just felt like this came out of sort of a little bit almost nowhere. But my big takeaway was what a way to go.

[00:09:35] Like, if you have a terminal disease, this is how you do it. You plan a murder mission. This is how you do it. That's right. It's Friday night. You plan something out where you frame your good friends for murdering you. Can I ask you guys a quick question? Please do. And this is totally unrelated, but do you know of anybody or any location or anything like that that does it like no one else? South Central. Really? Yeah, yeah, yeah. They do it like no one else? The party's over there on the west side. Yeah. Interesting. Yeah. And they're doing it like no one.

[00:10:05] That's right. Do you have a 40? Oh, you've gone too far for me to play with this game. Brian, go ahead. Yeah. So that's how you do it, folks. If you have a terminal disease, you plan out. Step out there with Montel Jordan. Sorry. Sorry. Come on, man. Sorry, everyone. Sheesh. Turn of Mackin. So, yeah, they did not like the way it went, but a lot of the overall I had a good time and very, I'm going to keep this in the back of my mind.

[00:10:35] If a terminal disease comes up, if I'm going to bank it and if something happens to me, I'm going to make some plans and you guys are going to have a good time. Cool. Frame at least one of you. Yeah. Oh, no. Well, hopefully it all works out for us like it did in this one. Brian, this or the Venice movie? Hmm. Oh, come on. The fact that you've taken this long is patently absurd. When you say the Venice one, all I'm thinking about is just the food and the walking and the cooking and the walking.

[00:11:05] Obviously this one. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Thank you. But I do like the idea. You know, we've talked about this. I like the idea. Yeah. Immersive cooking. Anyway. So it was okay. You know, we read the synopsis during the previous show. We were like, this is this is nice out. The deuce. This is a glass onion. Like this is the same plot. And I think the one thing like watching this movie is realizing one in case you thought that just anyone could do knives out. You're wrong. Like knives out.

[00:11:35] So, so special and so great. But also like Blanc is so important to knives out. And that's we, we were missing in this movie, a character like that. Like we have this detective and the detector detective just ends up macking on Amelia. And it's like, like I want, I wanted a character. I wanted a Blanc. And so maybe that's my fault going into this being like, oh, this is a knives out ripoff

[00:12:01] and just wanting it to actually lean into it all the way and give us not the same thing, but like a character that is fun and like, and has like super just like weird things about him that make him special and unique and fun. And so that, that was missing for this one for me. I thought that it was, it was fine though. So obviously I think we all agree that the end was just like, not what we were hoping that it would be. And also just being like, Hey, you guys could work on mysteries on the weekend. Here's a slip of paper with money on it.

[00:12:31] It's like, what is that? It's like a, Hey, just in case we want to make any more of these, I guess we should set it up. Uh, and it didn't, that didn't feel necessarily all that well thought out. Um, so yeah, just an okay for me, slightly disappointed, but I, I love that homework has taken, taken the chance. So there you go. Dano, to your point, Brian, I think I liked this movie more than both of you guys did. First of all, second of all, to your point, knives out is not original.

[00:12:57] Like knives out is based upon a lot of seventies movies that have a similar like vibe to them. And then those movies were all really like Agatha Christie did this and then there were none. Uh, there's a bunch of ripoffs of Agatha Christie out there. Literally movies that are in theaters right now are Agatha Christie novels. Uh, this is a version of that and it is a really solid swing by Hallmark and they do a lot of things. Well, knives out is distinguished because of Benoit Blanc and he's amazing.

[00:13:26] Daniel Craig is amazing in that movie. And it's like a Hercule Perrault type situation, but it's Benoit Blanc and he does a great job of explaining it. This movie could have used that. I was still very much entertained for the majority of the runtime of this film. So much so that I was trying to guess who did it. And I thought I had guessed correctly who had done it. It made all the sense in the world. And then in the last five minutes, John Christian Plummer wrote this. He wrote a lot of the mystery one Oh ones. He's great.

[00:13:52] In the last five minutes, we find out there's no way we could have figured the mystery out because we didn't know that this dude had been given a terminal diagnosis. Like that's, they do tell us before the big reveal. Yeah. But when they're explaining it, they don't tell us in the movie. Yes. She gets a call. She gets a call that we're privy to. Okay. Right. Okay. I missed that, that part of the movie because that for me and the coroner said it for me, I was sitting here going, I don't know how much of this I should have been able to put

[00:14:22] together on my own. Yeah. I think for me to set up a whodunit and it be really Hallmark's first movie like this, there may be some big Hallmark fan or historian that's like, no, no, no. They've done this before. As long as we've been watching this movies, we've not seen a Hallmark movie like this where they're all there. You have all the suspects. We're all on an Island and we're, and we're, there's nowhere to go. And one of them committed murder to basically make them all possibly the killer.

[00:14:50] And to do that successfully, which I feel like they did, they gave four or five people motive and they did it successfully. It wasn't obviously wrong. Like, obviously it's not this person. And then to not have any of them commit this murder seem like a cop out. It seemed very manipulative and like a cop out. And then the thing at the end where it's like, I'm going to give you this check. All of that was so bad that it kind of ruined the experience for me.

[00:15:15] I think for over an hour in, this is the best, one of the best, if not the best one that they've done all year. And I was very invested in would watch another one. I hated the last five to eight minutes. And, you know, from a standpoint of Hallmark, that still means it's better than most. I would have this in the top, top 10 that we watched this year. Even with that last five minutes, I thought it did a lot right. The characters were good. Could it have used a Benoit Blanc? Absolutely. Could it have used a fun personality? But they tried to make a few jokes here or there.

[00:15:44] So it didn't quite, it didn't stick to landing at all. But on the way, it was definitely more diverting and entertaining than most of what Hallmark's had. Do you like this more than Mystery Ghost? No. But I like that more than you guys did. That's the best mystery. Yeah, but I like that better than this. That's the best mystery of the year. That's better than this. But this is second to me. That's the best mystery of the year. This is second. And then Curious Cases, or the cases of Mystery Lane is third. And I think you would probably have that first. I would have that first, too. Mystery Lane? Ahead of both of them. Yeah. Mystery Lane, Ghost Boy, and then this one. Yeah.

[00:16:14] I just think the Ghost one with Tamara was great. Like, for what they were trying to do. I think it was really, really solid. So, let's get to all the feels. We were talking about what gave us those feels. Brian? Yeah, this is tough for me. I actually don't even have a note about feels. Nothing stood out. Feels was... The one thing that when I'm thinking about, like, what's sticking in my mind was there was the scene when they went to the beach or the place that was, like, a mile away where the lady died. What's her name? The main character. The lead gal. The doctor.

[00:16:44] The detective. She was in, like, a very nice white dress. And I just kept thinking, like, they're dressed so nice. Like, they're all dressed up so nicely. And so, I really like that they were all dressed real fancy. Like, he was in a tuxedo for a long time. And at first, I'm like, this is distracting. And then I'm like, no, they're, like, they're doing it. Like, they're in the mode of, like, we're at a mystery island. Like, we're supposed to be all dressed up fancy. So, I like that they were dressed really nicely. Tuxedos and gowns and all that stuff. And, yeah, they did that real nice.

[00:17:13] And, I don't know, maybe... You like they were dressed up fancy. Yeah, it made me kind of think, like, oh, remember when we wore those tuxes for the deckies? You know, like, looking forward to throwing on a tuxedo again. So, they dress real nice. There you have it. They dress real nice. Brian, back to you. I have always loved bookshelves that open up. And any time I see one, I think, one day, one day, I'm going to have a bookshelf that opens up.

[00:17:43] I don't know where to, because I'm never going to have a house big enough to where it's like a whole nother secret thing. But, like, maybe that's where I have my candy. I don't know. But I... Can you look that up? Can you look that up? Can you look that up, actually? Like, can you get a fake bookshelf and it's actually candy storage? You can put anything in it, really. Yeah, I don't think they're going to be like, well, you want to store candy? Absolutely not. Okay, yeah. Just like bookshelf storage. I know you want to store, like, secret papers and money. You want to store candy? Well, I don't want anyone to take it.

[00:18:13] Yeah, I get it. That's, look, in the pantry, I have to hide the candy or my kids will take it. Right. I hide stuff. Yeah. Places, yeah. Yeah. Stay away from my hot tamales. Right. It's like, don't touch my stuff. Like, this is my secret stuff. And so I think, like, anytime I see a bookcase like that, like, in this case, it's very elaborate and this leads to a staircase and an extra office. That's all that you need. I don't need that. I don't need that. I'm never going to be that type of businessman. What happens if your kids figure out the secret candy door? If it's easy for you, then it's easy for somebody else to find.

[00:18:43] You need, what are those called? Like, traps? Like, you need traps. We need traps. You need bear traps. Like lasers and knives that come down. Basically a full temple of doom. No, I mean, you put a code in. You put a code in or something. That's not a secret. That's just a code. No, okay. So it's a pull down and then it says, watch the secret code. Oh, it says it. You have to say it so somebody can hear you say it. And then, yeah. No, but then you blink it. You blink it. I think you've made the candy harder for you to access and not more secure.

[00:19:10] We should hide candy in our storage room behind that thing we put the cords on. Oh, that would have been a good one too. Slide it over like a barn door. Yeah. Dang it. Well, we'll do it somewhere else. And I just want to get this on the record. But we're not, we would never. If someone comes in here and sees a bookcase. Go ahead and look. It's a totally normal bookcase. There's totally normal books on there. We read all the time in here. I freaking love reading. So many readings. I love physical books. Don't open those books. Don't open those books. They're not hollowed out.

[00:19:40] Don't worry about it. They're not hollowed out books that hold candy in themselves. Fiction, non-fiction, historical fiction. Dan, what do you got? All the books. We love them. Yeah, this is a weird one, but I appreciated there were several attempts at fairly dark humor that you normally don't see on Hallmark, particularly when they find the dead bodies and they're doing a bit. Yeah. Yeah. And one of them is actually dead. Like, that's a funny bit. Yeah. And that's gallows humor.

[00:20:08] And you don't see that on Hallmark ever. And I thought they did that pretty successfully throughout the movie. And I enjoyed that quite a bit. That's what I got. Let's take one more quick break. We'll come back with a way we want to know what the Hallmark here on. Take the Hallmark. We're back. Hello, everybody. Welcome back. Whoa. What time is it? What time is it? It's time for the Wait What?

[00:20:36] This is where we share the things as to this Go Wait What. Yeah. Brian. I'll start off. So they're all suspects. And the police officer is kind of like, all right, you're all suspects. Don't go anywhere. But they constantly running into the woods. They can go wherever they want. They're just running all over the island. Don't go anywhere outside of a 50 square mile radius. You can go into the woods. That's right. You can light fires and burn stuff, but nothing else. That's how you know that none of them did it. Yeah. They are free to move about the entire island. All over the place. So, okay.

[00:21:05] And the chief of, I mean, the chief of police has, is spending the weekend on Mystery Island. Like, the chief has nothing else to do. I didn't think, he's not the chief. She is, but she leaves for a while, right? She does. She is not there all the time, but she's there a lot. Yeah. She comes, she pops in a few times. So, I don't know. Maybe it's just a slow crime. They do? It's because the guy who is murdered, he donates a ton of money. Oh, high profile case. All right. So, she steps off the boat.

[00:21:33] She's like, yeah, I'm here because he's such a big donor. Okay. That makes, that makes sense. That was, I'm an idiot. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Come on, buddy. I would never say that about you. I feel bad for questioning, John. Quick, Aaron, 30 seconds on Taylor Swift. Go. Oh, quick. Oh, oh, man. So, furthering, different, different date. I'm wasting all my time. So, she was there with Donna, his mom. And that's all the time we have. It's unbelievable. 10 seconds. Man.

[00:22:01] My last one was, there was a scene where they were walking on the beach together. And our bare feet. Yep, exactly. And it got, it switched between being like light. And then. Got to stop. Got to stop. It went. It's a great song. Got real dark. Great album. Better album. Yellow Cards, Ocean Avenue is the best album of all time. All time. Look for our podcast. It's great. They're walking and it's dark, but it's not nighttime yet. And then they switch to a different camera shot and it is nighttime.

[00:22:31] Yeah. And then it goes back to not nighttime. And I just, it's more of a, sort of a what the hallmark, like what, what happened there? They have to throw that in real quick. They obviously ran out of daylight. They had to film. It was just, how did that happen? It was the type of thing. And it was just like, I just was surprised that it was so obvious to me. Maybe nobody else really caught it, but that was a, I was like, what happened there? Yeah. The mysteries are always tough with the way it was. Cause it's like, what do you do with them? This one especially. My biggest one.

[00:22:59] And it's the only one that I could really think of, but it is a big one for me is I do feel like they didn't give the necessary time to the other dead body. In this case, the woman that tripped and fell in like, I just like, there's still something there, right? You can't just like talk to the person and go, it was an accident. And then that's it. He says the corner says it was an accident. Yeah. I don't like, I don't know, man. That's tough. Cause she was still there.

[00:23:28] Like she admits to being there. It's her word against dead body. And I guess the court like, but how do you like prove accident or like, I let the thing go and made her like, I don't know. There was a lot still there that I feel like should have been investigated instead of just being like a, he killed himself. Everyone's leave now. I don't know. I felt like there was still something there, but whatever. Yeah. Um, I only have three. One is this guy's name is Carlos Del Fuego. His name is Carlos fire.

[00:23:56] This character's name, his actual name is Carlos fire. That is wild. And they do. Yeah. Okay. Yes. It, yes. Correct. Yes, it is. Uh, and they, they bring it back later with a clue. And I'm like, whose name's Carlos fire? That guy's name is our two leads who've decided they want to get to the bottom of this case instead of going to dinner and interviewing all the suspects go, we need it. We need to solve this. But first, do you want to walk on the beach? And I bare feet. Just a quick walk on the beach.

[00:24:26] In our bare feet. Just a quick stroll on the beach. In our bare feet. That's right. Um, it's the best album of all time. It feels so right. Um, sleeping all day. Staying up all night. Night. Um, and then lastly, if you- If I could find you now, things will get better. We could leave this town and run forever. Go ahead, Dan. I know somewhere, somehow. Go ahead.

[00:24:57] Take me away, yeah. Nice. Thanks for the violin. Yeah. That's what makes that song. Yeah. You know those guys are just messing around on guitar and their roommate comes in and goes, you guys listen to this. You guys see anything. Yeah, he ain't tinged it. That's right. He just went, well, I guess we're going to include Daryl in the band. You see that sick solo and the electric violin. Don't tell him we like it though. Yeah. Everybody just stay calm. Play cool. Anybody else have electric violin? No. He just has been playing it for a year and a half.

[00:25:26] Hey, na, na, na, na, na, na. And they're just like, well, we got to put it in there. Maybe he'll shut up. Lastly, this guy decides to take over a mystery island that is bankrupt financially. And he says this, I'm not going to change mystery island. I'm just going to make it profitable. Well, I think you probably have to change it to make it profitable. And here's how he starts. I'm not going to change it. Here's a giant amount of money to write cases for me, police officer and doctor. Yeah. Money where they don't have. Yeah, no. It's bankrupt. Yeah.

[00:25:56] The island is bankrupt. I'm not going to change mystery island. I'm going to make it profitable. And the way I do that is by paying these people who've never written a case in their life a bunch of money to write a case. Or debt. One of the worst endings to one of these mysteries I've ever seen. Yeah. I mean, that leads me to the homework. And so I'll just go first. Please do. Like, did they mention that it's $10,000 to come to mystery island? A day. A day. A night. Yes.

[00:26:23] Have they considered, hear me out, just like cut it in half or something? Like, that's a really steep price that not many people can afford. Much less like, I don't know, repeat customers? You know, the way to make more money is to charge half? To charge less so more people can come. And maybe you get like people that come all the time. My thing is, is that if you book it correctly, you don't need to write a new case every weekend. Right.

[00:26:53] Like, what is this writing cases nonsense? Write four cases. Yeah. For Q1, you do the same case every weekend. And you sign up. It's like when you do escape rooms, right? Yeah. And you like pick the one that you want. That's right. You're not going to do the same one twice. Yeah. You just do four cases. And you just, then you can charge whatever. I don't, like the case writing thing was my what the homework. Cause it's like, I mean, I guess it makes sense at five grand each if it's jam packed every weekend. Yeah. But that wasn't maximum people you can bring. 12? Yeah. I don't know. 60 grand a night. Is that even covering it? I don't know.

[00:27:23] I have no idea. Don't have the books. It's a mystery island. Brian? Yeah. Mine was just the. We'd have to look at the books. We'd have to look at the books. We're up against it. We're up against it. Is that what you do? Mr. Fire said that he, he formed an investment group. Carlos Fire? Charles Fire. Hi Fire. Charles Fire. Nice to meet you. He said he formed an investment group to, to take a majority stake in this. And I just was like, you know, the, there's going to be a board. There's going to be approvals. Like you can't just form a group and start buying all the shares without anybody stopping you.

[00:27:53] So that was my big question. Like there had to, of course the owner found out. Brian's looked into this. Yeah. In regards to this podcast. I'm trying to buy many a company. He's trying to buy our company. Yeah. Yeah. Numerous times. I'm out here. I was on the impression that if I just say they're mine now. My shares. I have all the shares. I bought them. Because I said so. Fair and squares. So that is just a little more that goes on there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We did it. Everybody, congratulations. We'll be back tomorrow with a big, big win calls to heart. Friday Fast X. So much fun going on around here this week, everybody. Stay tuned until they move.
