Do it yourself. Chop it at home. And our labor rates are $22, $23 an hour right now. So I have to have a person cutting that up. And it's expensive. So do it at home OK. Make your own mashed potatoes. Cut your own watermelon. That is so helpful. Stew Leonard, Junior, thank you for all that advice. Good to see you. Hey, Lindsey, if I could just say one thing. I lost a son to a drowning, a little two-year-old boy. This is the most dangerous weekend right now, Memorial Day, for drowning. I'm going to get a lot of calls-- I hate to say it-- after the holidays of tragedies that happened. I just want to tell everybody, please put your cell phones down. Watch your kids around the water and be extra vigilant this weekend. And the danger zone is two to, like, four-year-olds right now. Yeah, our condolences to you, Stew. Great advice for everyone to keep in mind. Thank you so much. Everyone stay close. We'll all-- Happy--
