Well, 0:07:16.280 --> 0:07:18.080 I'm going to go Michael Yorke, I'm going to say 0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:21.200 Dolly Parton wasn't here, and wasn't it the logis? Ben? 0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:23.440 I think it might be Silla Black. 0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:26.520 Oh, yes, because. 0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:28.320 I don't remember Silla Black going to the logos.

Yes, yes, yes, I thought that's the first 0:08:11.840 --> 0:08:13.080 one you've ever got, right, I think? 0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:16.640 Oh no, no, no, no, oh no, we can go 0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:18.880 back over the tapes.
