So bar rescue is always the same story. It was this bar that was struggling. They were in debt. They didn't know how to run a bar. And here all of a sudden they bring in John Taffer. John Taffer is the expert rescuer. And again, it's always the same. They set up cameras in the bar and he's going to watch. He's doing a stakeout. And it's one night and he's in his escalade out in the parking lot with maybe his assistants. And they sent, I sent some people into the bar to see what they're doing, right?

The teacher has come, she said, and he's calling for you. And so as soon as she heard these words, Mary arose and came to him. …
