And we were on a Zoom and Pat was listening to that, even I was listening to that like, \u2018Why are they cutting back on that? That doesn\u2019t make any sense.\u2019 And Pat decided to say, \u2018OK, if you\u2019re going to cut back on that, I\u2019ll cover that. I\u2019ll cover that. Because the crew, the people around the show, they need to have that. They need to have that.’\u201d<\/p>\n\n
