                                    Speaker 3

                                    Speaker 1

                                        Is that What was it 2 dollars?
                                    
                                            
                                            0:57:35
                                        
                                        That's about Lantish.
                                    
                                            
                                            0:57:36
                                        
                                        Shit.
                                    
                                            
                                            0:57:38
                                        
                                        So it has to be a supplement because there's no way that this could be a standalone program because, well, $800, like, I don't know what we get with that.
