4	!!Harry S. Plinkett
5	[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mr_plinkett.png]]
6	[[caption-width-right:300:I love ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack'' so much. I fucked it.]]
7	->Played by: Mike Stoklasa
8	A senile and insane old man who enjoys taking apart both bad movies and hookers.
9
10	----
11	* TheAlcoholic: Specifically states he is one, and whenever he mentions drinking he will invariably and instantly collapse.
12	-->'''Plinkett''': Maybe I just need another vodka gimlet ''crashing noises'' OH FU-
13	* AssholeVictim: Plinkett DOES suffer some retribution at times like when he reviewed ''Film/BabysDayOut'' and near the end of the review, he begins to lose what little of his sanity he had left.
14	* AxCrazy: Dear Lord. His favorite pastime is kidnapping and murdering hookers.
15	-->'''Plinkett:''' ''DON'T TRY TO ESCAPE LIKE THE OTHER ONE!''
16	* BeenThereShapedHistory: A {{Running Gag}} in the ''Film/Titanic1997'' review, where Plinkett claims to have sold various items to historical figures of the 20th century.
17	-->'''Plinkett:'''Taft, you fuck! You bought your clothes at the Portly Gentleman Used Clothing Store! You cheapskate! I know it because I sold it to you!
18	* BestialityIsDepraved: [[spoiler: He likes to fuck his cat.]]
19	* TheBluebeard: "Now I'm the last guy to be talking about love, because most of my relationships seem to end up in several different trash bags."
20	%%* BreakoutCharacter
21	* BreathlessNonSequitur: ''All the time''. Often involving disturbing details about his personal life.
22	* CatchPhrase:
23	** "Oh?... Oh?... Oh."
24	** [[MadLibsCatchPhrase "(Movie) is the worst thing since (whatever)"]]
25	** "You might not have noticed it. But your brain did."
26	** "You want a pizza roll?"
27	** "WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR FAAACE..?!"
28	* CausticCritic: Played straight in the ''Franchise/StarWars'' reviews, as he really hates the prequels, but downplayed in the ''Crystal Skull'' and ''Titanic'' reviews as Plinkett is a bit kinder to them. A bit.
29	* CloudCuckoolander: Plinkett is senile and seems to have trouble telling reality and his fantasies apart. And then there's that time a pizza roll started talking to him...
30	* DeadpanSnarker: Mike Stoklasa is a natural at this form of comedy and this carries over into the character of Plinkett.
31	* DemonicPossession: Has apparently experienced it before. This could explains some of his... eccentricities.
32	* DepravedBisexual: Plinkett's presumably attracted to the hookers he kidnaps, but he casually mentions in the {{Film/Revenge of the Sith}} review that he once made out with George Lucas and has expressed a admiration for William Shatner's [[{{Squick}} merkins]].
33	* DestructoNookie: Masturbates hard enough to destroy his television with his ejaculate in his ''Indiana Jones'' review.
34	* DirtyOldMan: Masturbates to the Olsen Twins. Hard enough to destroy his TV.
35	* EvenEvilHasStandards: He hates the child actors in the Star Wars movies, to the point he considers the death scene of the younglings in the third movie to be one of its few positive qualitites, but he's still willing to admit how it was an unecessarily dark attempt at making Revenge of the Sith seem more mature.
36	* EvilCripple: Usually depicted as wheel-chair bound and missing a leg but hell if that stops him from kidnapping and murdering prostitutes. Oh, and killing his first wife in a "car accident".
37	* EvilOldFolks: He's old enough to remember the Titanic sinking. [[UnreliableNarrator At least, he says he does.]]
38	* EvilSoundsDeep: Whenever his blood lust or hatred of bad movies takes over. The rest of the time he just sounds like a stroke victim, which he is.
39	* ExtremeOmnisexual: He's mentioned attraction to a variety of things, including hookers, Creator/GeorgeLucas, Indian children, his granddaughter [[TheOldestProfession Crystal]], the Millennium Falcon, Neimoidians, the Olsen Twins, and his cat.
40	* TheFaceless: In the reviews themselves. Averted in official art and Revenge of Nadine.
41	* FanBoy: Of ''Franchise/StarTrek'', ''Franchise/StarWars'' and the medium of film in general.
42	** He has also expressed a love for ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack'' in his own...unique way.
43	* HalfHumanHybrid: He's only ''half''-pig.
44	* HandicappedBadass: He's missing a leg in official art and is still capable of winning firefights with the police.
45	* IncestSubtext: ''Film/StarTrek2009'' is a guilty pleasure. So is his pole-dancing granddaughter, Crystal.
46	* MakeItLookLikeAnAccident: From his first review, it's clear that Plinkett arranged for the murder of his first wife by making it look like a car accident.
47	* NightmareFuelStationAttendant:
48	* OffingTheOffspring: He killed his Vietnamese bastard with napalm during the Vietnam War.
49	* PetTheDog: His plea at the end of the ''Revenge of the Sith'' review for movies that rely on emotions and character rather than big budget commercial affairs that rely on special effects definitely comes across as this.
50	* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: He makes many sexist remarks in his reviews to get his points across. Though, he apparently [[EveryoneHasStandards tries not to offend the disabled]].
51	-->'''Plinkett:''' Anakin is just sitting there like a retard! [-Oh, can I still say "retard"?-] I mean "Anakin is just sitting there like an exceptional individual."
52	* PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy: He squeezes gats 'til the clips are empty.
53	* SerialKiller: He loves murdering prostitutes.
54	* SociopathicSoldier: In ''The Force Awakens'' review, he mentions that he was a colonel in Vietnam and in his "Star Trek V" commentary, he mentions he's been in "three or four wars" and later clarifies that he was in World War I, World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War so there's the Soldier part. The Sociopathic part? [[KickTheDog He killed his Vietnamese bastard with napalm during the Vietnam War.]]
55	* TitleScream: Every episode of {{WebVideo/Half in the Bag}} opens with Stoklasa's Plinkett voice saying "Half in the [=BaaAAAaaag=]".
56	* TrademarkFavouriteFood: Pizza rolls. If you want one, email him on his web zone.
57	* UnreliableNarrator: Can you really trust anything he says about his past?
58	* VillainProtagonist: Harry S. Plinkett is an insane old man who regularly murders prostitutes and has killed at least one wife. He's also the guy who does the reviews. And, no, he doesn't act any better when he's reviewing, often peppering his reviews with unsubtle implications and short stories about his murderous "hobbies". The camera even cuts back at times to show him acting like the psychopath he is. One example is in his ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'' review where we get to see him force two screaming women to assemble five different puzzles after scattering the pieces across the floor in an hour or he'll stuff them in a refrigerator filled with flesh-eating cockroaches.
59	* VoiceOfTheLegion: His "scary voice."

61	!!Man-in-a-Black-Cloak-who-is-not-a-trademarked-character-of-Lucas-Limited aka "Palpy"

64	->Played by: Mike Stoklasa
65
66	----
67	* CaptainErsatz: Parodied. He is clearly meant to be Palpatine, but every time he appears, everyone goes to great lengths not to mention it.
68	* GivenNameReveal: At the end of "Mr. Plinkett Reacts to ''Film/TheForceAwakens'' trailer", he mentions his first name is Sheeeev, Shiv, Shaaav, something.
69	* ItsAllAboutMe
70	* LargeHam: Especially when he is angry. Which is most of the time.
71	* MistakenIdentity: In an on/off RunningGag, he is repeatedly mistaken for Creator/BeaArthur.
72	* PokeThePoodle: He shall have his revenge! ... Once he gets around to panning your film on his blog.
73	* SinisterShades: Original character! Do not steal.
74	* SmallNameBigEgo
75	* StrawFan: He's meant to be a parody of [=RedLetterMedia's=] fandom.
76	* UnpleasableFanbase: Both InUniverse for Plinkett and on a meta level where he is [[TakeThatAudience the stand-in]] for Red Letter Media's more unpleasant fans. He intensely hates Creator/ChristopherNolan and regularly demands that Plinkett tears his films apart, if he does not come with requests for films meant for children or more obscure stuff. And that is only when he takes a break from accusing Plinkett of being lazy.
77
78	!!Nadine
79	[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nadine_341.jpg]]

81
82	----
83	* ActionGirl
84	* BrokenBird: She becomes one after being locked in Plinkett's basement and having her baby starve to death in her absence.
85	* EasilyForgiven: She forgives Plinkett rather quickly, making one wonder if her baby ever existed.
86	* HeroAntagonist: The antagonist to VillainProtagonist Plinkett.
87	* KnightOfCerebus: She was this for the prequel trilogy reviews.
88	* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Against Plinkett.

92	!Lightning Fast VCR Repair
93	[[quoteright:301:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vcr_9312.jpg]]
94	Two out-of-work VCR repairmen who make money by fleecing seniors who don't know how to operate DVD players.
95
96	----
97	* TheAlcoholic: Both of them. It is common for Mr. Plinkett's house to be completely littered with empty beer bottles after they spend any prolonged amount of time in it.
98	* AssholeVictim: Anytime something bad happens to Jay and Mike, they basically deserved it.
99	* {{Caustic Critic}}s: Jay and Mike are not kind to movies they dislike and, since [=RLM=] isn't worried about keeping on the good sides of any studios (in real life, the actual Jay Bauman and Mike Stoklasa are paying to watch these movies in theaters or on streaming), they can be as abrasive as they please with their criticisms.
100	* {{Con M\|an}}en: As in the description above, Mike and Jay are preying upon technologically illiterate senior citizens who don't know how to use [=DVD=] players. A frequent target of their scam is Mr. Plinkett, who explicitly wants them to fix his [=VCR=] so he can watch his ''Series/NightCourt'' cassettes.
101	* {{Crooked Contractor}}s: Mr. Plinkett has been asking Jay and Mike to fix his [=VCR=] for years, but the two have made no progress.
102	* FatAndSkinny: Lampshaded in ''Film/ThatsMyBoy'', when George Lucas' hit men address them as "[[Film/TheBurbs Hans Klopek]]" and "Fat Guy".
103	** Mike refers to Rich and Jack as "the fat guy" and "the bald guy".
104	* SugarWiki/GushingAboutShowsYouLike
105	** Mike is an avowed fan of ''Film/TheRocketeer'', and encourages viewers not to write it off as a flop.
106	** Jay is a gigantic Creator/SamRaimi fanboy, to the point of buying every single edition of ''Film/EvilDead2'' (and ''Film/ArmyOfDarkness'').
107	* LackOfEmpathy: Jay and Mike. They almost never feel... [[WhatIsThisFeeling gooeelt]]? Gooey-elt? Gweelt? Guilt— no, that doesn't sound right.
108	* {{Otaku}}: Or, in their parlance, "pathetic manchildren". Jay and Mike spend their time in the Lightning Fast VCR Repair shop talking about the movies they've seen instead of actually doing any work.
109	* PermaStubble: Mike has a perpetual five o'clock shadow. Contrast Jay, who can't seem to make up his mind whether he wants to be clean-shaven or wear a beard.
110	* SuckinessIsPainful: Mike was nearly driven to suicide by ''Zookeeper''. Not by the film, either, but by the theatrical trailer alone!
111	** The ''Film/GrownUps2'' review opens with Jay and Mike giving it a favorable review, praising Creator/AdamSandler and advising viewers not to nitpick family films, as blood begins [[PsychicNosebleed gushing from their eyes, noses and mouths]].
112	* ThoseTwoGuys: Jay and Mike are always together in the VCR shop, talking movies. In real life, Jay and Mike are the founders of Red Letter Media.
113	* VillainProtagonist: Jay and Mike have their moments, especially when they try to kill Plinkett for his life insurance money.
114

117	[[caption-width-right:160:[-Gooeelt? Gooey-elt? Gweelt? Guilt— no, that doesn't sound right-].]]
118	->Played by: Mike Stoklasa
119
120	----
121	* TheAlcoholic: He and Jay both qualify, but Mike takes it to an extreme. He forgoes bringing along critical survival gear with him to Mount Everest so he can pack more booze.
122	* AuthorAppeal: He loves ''Franchise/StarTrek'', and he'll take any opportunity to reference it or compare another work to it.
123	* BadBadActing: This is Mike's signature comedic style. Jay does this, too, but he's not as good at pretending to be a bad actor as Mike is.
124	* BerserkButton: Mike, an Arizonian who moved to Wisconsin, can detect a whiff of condescension coming from Hollywood. Ordinarily stoic, he became quite livid when discussing ''Film/WhiteHouseDown'', ''Film/TheLoneRanger'', and ''Film/GrownUps2'' back-to-back.
125	-->"[[FlyoverCountry I am a flyover cow! Moooooooo.]]"
126	* BigNo: Anytime Jay suggests that they do ''legitimate'' work, Mike will immediately cry out, "[=NOOOOOOOOOOooooooOOOOooo=]!" defiantly.
127	* CaptainObvious: Intentional. Mike will often say things like, "I went to see Movie at Theater," literally.
128	* {{Catchphrase}}: Mike, in his lawyerly way, will always ask, "Are you suggesting that..." or "Jay, are you implying that...", as a lead-up to Jay openly accusing the filmmakers of being hacks, charlatans or worse.
129	** "That's right, Jay!"
130	* DeadpanSnarker: Mike Stoklasa appears to be this in Real Life, and it's a trait that all his characters share, but Mike on "Half In The Bag" plays it to a tee. He's usually able to get his co-host Jay to laugh without even cracking a smile himself, and any time he's called upon to show any kind of emotion, he always does it in a very phony and insincere way. He also likes to say things that he knows will piss off his audience (i.e. Creator/DrSeuss is overrated and Franchise/TheMuppets are for babies).
131	** [[invoked]] In the review for Film/Movie43'', they go Up to Eleven in snarking, talking about how "clever" the writing was, complete with LaughTrack galore, finally saying things like eating dog poop or leaky periods are [[ItsNotSupposedToWinOscars not supposed to win Oscars]].
132	** And in the review of ''Film/StarTrekIntoDarkness'', Mike laughed the hardest he ever has in a video... when Jay refers to the villain as Benedict {{Toys/Cabbagepatch\|Kids}}.
133	* DeathSeeker: Has stated in their review of ''That's My Boy'' that his dream is to one day die from watching an Adam Sandler movie, and actively chooses to watch them in theaters in hope that his soul may someday be released.
134	* TheEeyore: Whenever the state of modern filmmaking comes up.
135	* HiddenDepths: Mike is a surprisingly good voice actor.
136	* KubrickStare: Gives one at the beginning of their review of ''Film/TransformersDarkOfTheMoon.''
137	* TheNicknamer: During the merchandise promotional videos, Mike consistently refers to Jay as "Susan."
138	* PermaStubble: Pretty much always has this look.
139	* TalkingTheMonsterToDeath: How he finally defeats Creator/GeorgeLucas, by telling him that he will never be able to erase the original, unedited ''Star Wars'' trilogy from people's memory. This realization causes Lucas's head to explode.
140	* YourCostumeNeedsWork: The one time Mike used the Mr. Plinkett voice on-camera, Jay told him that it was a terrible Plinkett impression.
141	----
142
143	!!Jay
144	[[quoteright:160:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hitb_jay_8312.jpg]]
145	[[caption-width-right:160:[-My life is an empty shell-].]]
146	->Played by: Jay Bauman
147
148	----
149	* AmbiguouslyBi: Jay accepts Mr. Plinkett's marriage proposal (admittedly with some bewilderment) and talks about meeting up with buff men in Los Angeles as though he has firsthand experience. He also dated a female ghost at one point.
150	* BoyMeetsGhoul: Was dating the ghost girl who used to work at the VCR repair shop.
151	* CloudCuckooLander: His lifelong dream is to be a lighthouse.
152	** In general, Jay definitely goes for more "weird" humor than deadpan Mike.
153	* DeadpanSnarker: A close second to Mike in this area.
154	* EvenEvilHasStandards: Jay, who's spent most of the series exploiting, belittling, abusing, and even attempting to murder Plinkett, objects to Mike trying to take advantage of his recent meth addiction. Though how much of this is due to genuine concern or because the story demanded it is unknown.
155	** JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: In a scene, Jay demands three months of pay up front from Plinkett, whereas Mike only demanded one. Mike butts in with this comment:
156	--->Jay, I thought I was the monster!
157	*** It's heavily implied it was a deliberate AssPull - when Mike asks, "You smoke crack?!" Jay shrugs and replies, "Sure, whatever." [[invoked]]
158	* MurderIsTheBestSolution: When Mike and Jay gets a costumer that actually demands that they behave honestly:
159	-->'''Jay:''' Let's talk about movies before that mean old lady gets back.\
160	'''Mike:''' Jay, are you saying you want to murder her?\
161	'''Jay:''' [[BluntYes Yes]]!
162	* NightmareFetishist: Jay loves weird, artsy, and disturbing movies like ''Film/TheWitch'', and he also has a very strong preference for the NothingIsScarier trope.
163	* ProgressivelyPrettier: Jay loses quite a bit of weight and becomes much more handsomely-coiffed as the show goes on. This is lampshaded by Mr. Plinkett in the ''Film/WonderWoman2017'' review, where he remarks on Jay's shift in attractiveness and [[HoYay proposes to him]].
164	* StraightMan: Jay is generally more grounded than Mike, and is often more open minded and optimistic about the mass appeal movies they review on the show.

167	!!Harry S. "Fake" Plinkett

170	->Played by: Rich Evans
171
172	----
173	* BewareTheSillyOnes: Wanting revenge against Mike and Jay for leaving him to freeze to death on a mountain-side in Nepal, he decides to brutally murder them both. Fortunately for the duo he can't see out of his glasses as they are covered in frost during his attempt, so he ends up killing Rich and Jack in a gory fashion instead.
174	* CaneFu: He manages to fend off a katana-wielding Nadine with his cane. Though the [[SuperWheelchair rocket chair]] helped.
175	* TheChewToy: This Plinkett has essentially been flanderized into this trope on ''Half in the Bag''. He's still creepy and a pervert, but he's generally portrayed as ineffectual. He's suffering from amnesia, and is abused by Jay and Mike on a regular basis, up to attempted murder. He even shows some form of genuine affection for them in some episodes.
176	* CouchGag: Plinkett knocking over the beers at the start of each episode.
177	* DepravedBisexual: Has several ex-wives and expressed attraction to men, including Jay and [[spoiler:a volcano god]], but he's still a disgusting and perverted criminal.
178	* DivineDate: [[spoiler:The ''Film/MazeRunnerTheDeathCure'' review reveals that his longevity is due to nightly trysts with the volcano god Xandu]].
179	* TheDogBitesBack: During the ''Film/AGoodDayToDieHard'' review:
180	-->'''Plinkett''': I'm just watching the end of the movie on my iPad... These things are great. You know all about it - yours is in my TV. (chuckles) I sure loved watching the same movie 68 times tonight. Maybe that'll teach you fucks not to LIE to me.
181	* {{Gasshole}}: Manages to inflate an entire balloon with just his farts.
182	%%* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk
183	* NotSoHarmlessVillain: The ''Film/{{Pixels}}'' review shows us that he is still a violent serial killer at heart.
184	* PetTheDog: Plinkett of all people literally pets a dog at some point. Okay, it was a VCR he mistook for a dog, but still.
185	* RevolversAreJustBetter: He uses one to kill Rich in the ''Pixels'' review.
186	* SunglassesAtNight
187	* TheyKilledKennyAgain: Subverted. Plinkett has seemingly been killed numerous times, but he either survives (such as being buried under the floorboards), or it's a case of mistaken identity. [[spoiler:Xandu has been keeping him alive, as it turns out]].
188
189	!!{{Creator/George Lucas}}

192	->Played by: Rich Evans
193
194	----
195	* BigBad: George Lucas fills this role here also, with requisite Lampshade Hanging from Mike and Jay, of course.
196	* DisproportionateRetribution: He tries to kill Mike and Alexandre O. Philippe for "saying mean things" about him.
197	* EvilGloating: "I am going to explain to you my sinister plot."
198	-->'''Jay:''' ''(completely deadpan)'' We don't care.
199	* EvilSmellsBad: You can smell his plaid shirts coming from a mile away, according to Plinkett and other characters.
200	* HissBeforeFleeing: George Lucas does this when scared off by the original release of ''Star Wars''.
201	* LineOfSightName: In his quest to destroy every copy of ''Film/TheStarWarsHolidaySpecial'', he once infiltrated Comic-Con under the name "Paul ComicBook/{{Superman}}" after seeing a Superman cosplayer walking by.
202	* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Gives one to a hapless attendee of the Chicago Comic Con who was carrying a copy of ''The Star Wars Holiday Special.''
203	* PrimaDonnaDirector: He personally tries to hunt down and destroy every copy of the pre-Special Edition Star Wars because it interferes with his vision.
204	* TeethClenchedTeamwork: During Plinkett's ''The Force Awakens'' review, JJ Abrams shows up to murder Plinkett, too. George just sighs and mutters, "Hi, JJ", then mildly snipe at each other before teaming up to kill Plinkett.
205	* UnexplainedRecovery: After his head blew up, he returns in a later episode completely healthy with his head intact.
206	-->'''Mike:''' ''George Lucas!?''\
207	'''Jay:''' I thought he was dead?\
208	'''Lucas:''' Nope. Not dead. Still here.
209	* YourHeadASplode: The realization that he can never destroy every copy of the original ''Star Wars'' causes his face to melt off before multiple small explosions destroy his head. The blood stain from this is visible on the wall for the rest of the series.
210	----
211	!!Comic Book Guy Rich Evans
212	-> Played by: Rich Evans
213	A fan of comic books that helps Mike and Jay review the ''Amazing Spider Man movies''.
214
215	----
216	* BackFromTheDead: Appears to have been brutally getting shot to death by Mike with a Klingon disruptor at the end of ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan'' Review. But then shows up for the ''Film/{{Transcendence}}''/''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan2'' reviews. It turns out [[spoiler: the Klingon disruptor is a toy, and the whole death scene was in Jay and Mike's minds.]]
217	* BigDamnHeroes: Saves Mike and Jay from two hitmen with a Klingon Disruptor.
218	* FaceHeelTurn: Once he discovers that Mike and Jay are VCR Repairman, he attempts to contact the conspiracy working against them.
219	* PromotedFanboy: In-universe, he sells off his comic store and moves to New York to become an actual comic book artist. Alas, its working for Little Orphan Annie.

225	->Played by: Jack Packard
226	A character that originated in Red Letter Media's contribution to ''The 48 Hour Film Project'' in 2011, Fuck-Bot 5000 does exactly what its name implies.
227
228	----
229	* AdvancedTech2000: It's a robot whose name ends in "5000".
230	* BlackComedyRape: Fuck-Bot 5000's purpose is to have sex, regardless of its partner's consent.
231	* CaptainErsatz: It's almost certainly a ShoutOut to [[Webcomic/PennyArcade the Fruit Fucker 2000]].
232	* {{Hypocrite}}: Despite its existence relying on being one big rape joke, he denounces Creator/DanielTosh for making them.
233	* RoboticPsychopath: As mentioned above, Fuck-Bot 5000 is programmed to have sex with anyone around it, even if they don't want it.
234	* SkewedPriorities: When questioned about what is acceptable to joke about instead of rape, it thinks everything else is fair game (i.e. racism).

237	!!Officer Rich Klasowski
238	-> Played by: Rich Evans
239
240	A Milwaukee Police Officer that is sent to investigate "Lighting-Fast VCR Repair" after a sulfur factory complains about the strange smell there. Mike and Jay distract him by discussing the {{Franchise/Robocop}} movies.
241
242	----
243	* AbortedArc: Done deliberately. Officer Klasowski is randomly zapped to the world of ''Film/HowardTheDuck''.
244	-->'''Officer Klasowski''': "I wonder what crazy adventures I'll get into now!"
245	-->'''Caption''': NEVER TO BE CONTINUED.
246	-->'''Officer Klasowski''': Oh...
247	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Thinks cops naturally like... ''Film/HowardTheDuck''. And in the beginning of the ''Film/RoboCop2014'' review, he seems to be talking to himself a bit.
248	* PoliceAreUseless: Forgets about the strange smell in the basement to discuss ''Film/Robocop2014'' with Mike and Jay.

261	* EvilerThanThou: They are even bigger conniving Jerkasses than Mike and Jay.
