I don't know Beakman's World.

But there was Mr. Wizard on Nickelodeon, which was like Mr. Rogers, but, like, worse, 'cause he's teaching you science.

Yeah.

But I did love it.

...

I liked it.

I, I don't, I don't, I feel bad for throwing Mr. Wizard under the bus.

Mm.

I don't know.

Mr. Wizard? [buzzer]

Incorrect.

Anybody have a guess?

At this point, that was

Mr. Wizard.

We tried this on six other people in the back with popsicle sticks and

bubble gum.

They pay a leasing arrangement with SLI.

So what is interesting about it, just for the audience's sake, is that it has moved what we're doing and what all our competition is doing out of the realm of this is a Mr. Wizard experiment into this is an infrastructure play.

So asset financing, for instance, did not invent airplanes.

but it absolutely helped the creation of airline industry, right? Because if you're buying 20 Boeings, you're not going to plunk down a couple billion dollars, right? It's easier for these companies to do the financing.

Bell bond is broke, got so choked up and focused on the close up.

Mr. Wizard can't reform.

No, God, my coke is poked.

So don't sit back, kick back, and watch the world get bushwhacked.

800-222-5222 is the telephone number, 1-800-222-5222.

In the 1980s, there used to be a television program on Nickelodeon called Mr. Wizard's World.

Do you remember that, Randy?

I'm a couple years younger than you, so I don't.

I think the youngest I remember on Nickelodeon is Eureka's Castle.

Okay.

So Mr. Wizard's World was some old bald guy who was a scientist who would teach kids science experiments, and one of the science experiments that he did was he made an entire breakfast harnessing the power of the sun in the middle of summer.

He fried an egg on the sidewalk, he baked an apple, he did the whole thing.

But those people tend not to I say this as someone who did work and I spent some time in the legal department at Microsoft, which was a very odd experience of being one of the few technologists in a company that was a technology company.

But like being one of the few technologists in a very large legal organization, that was quite kind of like – I don't know if you ever watched like the old Mr. Wizard shows where he'd like – or whatever the science YouTubers were.

You put your hand in like – one hand in hot water, one hand in cold water, and then like you put your – you mix them and like your brain is all confused.

That was kind of like what it was like working there.
