Oh, yeah, Ben Diesel. Well, similar to what Rocky wore in Rocky 4. Sounds like a bit diesel quote. I got one of those jean jackets. Well, no, no, this was like leather and it had the interiors. So I was so excited. I wore it out. It was great. And then it was like negative 18 that day. And then I wore it out when it was pretty cold.. I probably like zero whatever.
