Randy Wilburn [37:34] Oh, I'm sorry.
Raouf Ghali [37:35] I’ll probably say it in case they hear they don’t think I'm ignoring them? Everybody’s got to be cheered.
Randy Wilburn [37:41] I apologize about that? How did I forget the continents?
Raouf Ghali [37:44] And we're very proud of the work they're doing there as well. We're proud of every region that we're working in.
