I don't think he's quite admitting that completely, but yeah… it's a fine line.

It's a little like a sit com, Jeff, Ron and Randy and the crazy antics they'll get up to next!!! I think you have have to ask the question, that as Jeff has had the access business so publicly on the block for such a long time, why haven't they sold it….no buyers?
