[MUSIC] We really hand over our secret takes on it
because we're protective of what we do. And it's industry
information that's so readily available for people. And just as
much as we are business people we are artists first.
[MUSIC] And all artists want to protect their craft. And
protect their manuscripts, or their paintings and drawings. And in
our cases, recipes. So we're very protective of that. In
order to make sure that we continue to survive in
our Earth form. [MUSIC]
