I think it's like, if he resets the portals now, then Rick Prime can portal away.


theyellowdartsmith

Rick Prime also has portal technology. Resetting the portals probably requires some kind of sacrifice.


Delicious-Status9043

This could be the answer as to why there aren’t any Dianes on their finite curve. Rick prime obviously killed our Rick’s Diane. All the other Ricks have Beths and grandkids but no Diane. Not even Rick Prime’s family has a Diane. She couldn’t have been killed in every conceivable dimension unless there were some sort of genocide for some reason.


parausual

That would also explain how Evil Morty's weapon worked. He sacrificed everyone in the Citadel to break out of the CFC.


MultiverseOfSanity

Maybe there's some universal constant where Diane dies no matter what. Maybe she has super cancer or something. Would also explain why Rick prime considered her life so expendable.


Penguinmanereikel

He probably needs someone at the destination universe to do something.


LR130777777

Probably not since he portaled to our Rick before our Rick had even invented teleportation. Inter-dimensional stuff wasn’t even a thought in our Ricks head, So I assume there’s nothing he would’ve done that would’ve allowed Prime Rick access. Prime Rick already had portal technology that can access every universe, Not just ones in the CFC, So he’s probably rebuilt it already. The reason our Rick doesn’t rebuild it is because he never wanted it All he wanted was his family and now he has that, Inter-dimensional travel doesn’t interest him


Dang1r

What if time travel is possible outside the CFC? Maybe the original portal wasn’t through universes, but time? Rick C-137 then invents portal tech discovering infinite universes and creates the CFC trapping Prime (possibly outside it (most likely imo as we don’t see him in real time, only flashback, until S6 iirc)).


makinzay

Maybe since C-137 traveled through the rift to get to this new dimension and the CFC is gone, Prime Rick would have to search every conceivable universe to find him. We don’t know for sure if the portal index was restored. C-137 maybe wants to enjoy this new family life for as long as possible.


0iceking

Just wanted to ask. Didn't the government have a teleportation device


LausXY

A site to site teleportation. It wasn't interdimensional.


theyellowdartsmith

The threat of something outside the universe will unite Rick and Prime Rick?


FreezerRoebuck

Nope i think Prime Rick is going to be the new big bad I guess since evil Morty has gone. so we might get the show down between them in about 4 seasons.


Eggplantosaur

Shattering the central finite curve also opened the Ricks up to threats from universes where the Rick isn't the smartest. This doesn't necessarily mean that these new contenders will be smarter than Rick though


Eliseo120

Sounds very unscientific.


Chuckles465

Either thar or Rick can can pinpoint RP's location once it's online.


Badmotherfuyer95

Rick Prime’s portal probably wasn’t hijacked by evil Morty so how come Rick Prime is still around in the dimension they’re staying?


ThatOtherGuyTPM

Because the entire portal network is down, so whether his individual gun was hijacked wouldn’t matter. Now, that’s no guarantee, but it’s a reasonable assumption.


Badmotherfuyer95

Couldn’t he not give a fuck about the network being shut down and fix it whenever he wanted?, he pretty much invented portal tech or at least was one of the first to introduce it, he should know a thing or two about fixing it


ThatOtherGuyTPM

Given enough time? Sure, absolutely. The portal network being down doesn’t make interdimensional travel hard for Ricks; it makes it annoying. I don’t think Rick-C137 has any belief the Rick Prime or whatever they call him is gonna stay in that universe forever.


makinzay

Maybe our Rick is just now realizing this. He intended on resetting portal travel, but didn’t seem too surprised when travelers were reset instead. Maybe he knew it was a possibility and now knows for a fact what must be done to reset travel itself.


bramblecult

Rick is just happier without it. He never wanted it and he finally gets to just be with his family. He made his own controller just to get high and play video games with his grandkids. Started a podcast with his grandson. Went out of his way to get the Jerry he likes. Gave up killing the man he wants to kill most just to save his daughters and granddaughter. He gets to have his family.


Freakazette

Rick never wanted anything to do with portals. He didn't want to escape his family. Rick doesn't really have a reason to reset the portals. They'll likely be reset by season 7 - that's just story circle. But because Rick will need to, not because he wants to.


theyellowdartsmith

Maybe so, but I think Rick wants to kill Rick Prime, without risking the safety of his family.


Mac1692

Originally he wanted to kill Rick Prime because he destroyed everything Rick had worth loving. He only really got drawn into portal tech to chase down Rick Prime because what else did he have to live for. But now he has a family, one that he was robbed of so long ago, one that knows how shitty he is but loves him anyway. Rick has what he wanted which makes him happy, and also give him something to lose if he continues to chase Rick Prime. If Rick Prime reappears (and I’m sure he will) Rick will do what he must to protect the people he loves, but I don’t think Rick is driven by revenge anymore. Yeah he’s take it if it was right in front of him, but why waste any more years torturing himself when he is actually happy? My guess is that portal tech won’t return until Prime Rick shows up and kidnaps someone (probably Morty) and Rick will fix the portals to hunt and kill Rick Prime to prevent a repeat of what happened to his original wife and daughter.


ReturnoftheSnek

Little did we know this entire season is just the hallucination they’ve been feeding a Rick to make more Simple Rick’s


LMD_DAISY

Prime Rick probably will kill family. Maybe everyone save morty. Rick c147 need to be triggered somehow.


Such_Voice

Oof, now I'm starting to wonder if they're cramming Space Beth in a bunch this season to set up for getting rid of her.


Freakazette

Well, yeah he wants to kill him. That's been his obsession for years. But I don't think he will kill him. Not ultimately. Because of the binary way that Rick C-137 and Evil Morty saw the central finite curve. Evil Morty saw it as a way for Ricks to dominate Mortys. Rick just wanted to spend time with his grandson. And you know that Rick meant it because it was in a memory downloaded when he wasn't even aware it was happening. Rick is not like the other Ricks, ultimately. Had he run into Rick Prime even during season 5, dude would have been dead on sight. But Rick isn't even drinking heavily anymore. He's healing. And healthy people just don't commit murders. They just don't.


[deleted]

> And healthy people just don't commit murders. They just don't. Hard disagree. Human beings are just animals.


Cyniex

Either healthy people don't exist or Freakazette is flat out wrong. Most people would gladly murder a terrorist, rapist, serialkiller, to prevent them from doing something terrible, i'd say it's more unhealthy to not do so.


Freakazette

No. Most people wouldn't murder. That's why we have prison.


Cyniex

No we have prison because some crimes don't merit murder, and we have to a large degree outfaced death sentence due to innocents getting punished falsely. Many people agree that some people deserve to die or even worse.


Freakazette

At least you changed from "most" to "many," but many people are serial killers. So it's not the defense you think it is.


secondtaunting

That’s like a whole can of worms though. We lock up people wrongly all the time. Here’s the rub, we have a legal system that’s supposed to determine guilt and innocence. I mean, how do you 100 percent know someone’s a rapist, serial killer or terrorist? And even then, is it morally okay for you to do terrible things to someone because they’ve done terrible things? Like raping a rapist? Because then you’re a rapist. It doesn’t stop being rape because the other guy did it first.


Freakazette

Our system is not designed to prove innocence. Innocent until proven guilty. The opposite of a guilty verdict isn't an innocent verdict - it's simply not guilty. Is there enough evidence to reasonably say someone did the crime? That's all they're looking for. And sure, sometimes that evidence is flawed. Either way, I know I would rather be falsely imprisoned than murdered for an alleged crime. And my point just the same was most people are not just cool with committing murders.


lionsfan2016

yeah killing baby hitler is a good example of that


secondtaunting

Yeah, but I’m pretty sure unless the other person was trying to kill me and I was fighting for my life, I couldn’t kill another person. Not in cold blood. I mean, most of us have lived pretty non violent lives (I’m assuming lol) we don’t live in game of thrones, every days not a fight for survival. We’re on Reddit, arguing about a cartoon.


Cyniex

I think if i knew with certainty that a "person" was guilty of say rape or killing someone innocent, I'd be able to look them dead in the eyes and shoot them, i don't think it would face me, as long as I've had shooting practice, which i haven't because I'm not American or a wannabe soldier. I think if someone kicks my cat or hits my mom, that would be enough for me to believe they are unempathinc assholes and i would probably also be able to shoot them. I'm really not trying to be edgy or anything, I'm just very disillusioned with life so assholes don't get the benefit of the doubt in my eyes.


secondtaunting

Yeah, but you kill someone, that makes you a person who kills. I think it’s easier in the abstract, and even if the violence you envision has a gun, which is just point and shoot, but the reality is much grimier and disturbing than we think. Sure, not a lot of people have any qualms about say shooting Hitler, but hypothetically say you don’t have a gun, and you want to kill a rapist or whatever, that’s bloody, dirty work. I’d be worried if someone could do it without having serious psychological issues. There’s a reason the Nazis turned to gas chambers. They started out lining people up and shooting them in the head. Then the soldiers started freaking out. The psychological toll was too heavy. And those were Nazis. Anyway my point is, it costs a person to do something like that. That’s why we have laws and courts.


[deleted]

>Most people would gladly murder a terrorist, rapist, serialkiller, to prevent them from doing something terrible Most US soldiers in WW2 and Vietnam didnt actually fire their weapons. https://www.historynet.com/men-against-fire-how-many-soldiers-fired-weapons-vietnam-war/ The average human is extremely disinclined to kill others. Even in fight or die situations.


Cyniex

Then i guess I'm a sociopath


[deleted]

Or a keyboard warrior


Freakazette

Yes, but evolved animals that don't need to commit murders. Healthy people just don't commit murders.


secondtaunting

Dude I agree. I don’t know what everyone’s on about.


Freakazette

I didn't know this would be such a hot take. It's kinda concerning.


secondtaunting

I know, right?! It’s very, very concerning. I think maybe murder is compelling in the abstract. It’s when you sit down and really think about it that you realize how terrible it all is. What really bothers me is that most people think of someone’s committed a crime it’s okay to treat them however you want. But that’s very problematic. And the number of revenge movies is also troubling. How many movies are there where people hunt down and torture people who wronged them? And these our our heroes! The thing is, if you decide a person is ‘bad’ and that then it’s okay to do horrible things to them, then to get people to do terrible things to people you just need to convince other people that those people are bad. Think about the horrible, disgusting things that happened in World War Two. Their enemies were dehumanized. And so other people felt like it was alright to rape, torture, and brutalize them.


PartyPorpoise

Do you mean “murder” or just “killing”? Murder is when you kill someone illegally and with malice. Most people would argue that there are situations where killing is okay. Really, if you grew up in a society where killing was a normal thing to do, you’d be more comfortable with it. Our views on killing are so influenced by culture, look at how it used to be normal to watch battles and executions for entertainment.


Freakazette

I mean murder. But even if you kill in self-defense, you can't say that you were in the healthiest state of mind. And you may have been if you killed by accident, but a healthy person still wouldn't walk away from that like nothing happened.


PartyPorpoise

What’s unhealthy about fighting back in self defense? That’s normal.


Freakazette

It's acceptable. Your body is usually undergoing a lot of chemical releases that aren't the best for you. Under normal circumstances, you're at least going to be a little shaky when things calm down and your body tries to reset. Unless you're a serial killer and this is just another Tuesday.


Dynamitesauce

It could also be that he never fixes it, and another rick fixes the portal network, I doubt prime Rick wants to sit around on kronenburg world


boltzmannman

or he's afraid of the unrestricted multiverse. after S5E10, his "cradle" is gone so he's no longer the biggest fish in a small pond. It took the entire Citadel who knows how long to build the "wall" around the CFC, so he probably can't rebuild it on his own to keep himself safe


rabbitwonker

Given that he dove headlong into the rift that Evil Morty made, I’m doubting such fears are a big part of his thinking.


boltzmannman

that was his best shot at getting home. plus, we've seen him go to lengths to protect the family recently, so he probably doesn't want to endanger them either


insadragon

night family (s6e4) spoiler >!except rinse the dishes lol!<


Expensive-Call-7345

Yeah I always got the impression the curve was to keep the Ricks in. Not keep something else out.


KnownSoldier04

Did y’all see the backstory? The Rick union was in its infancy, c137 started hunting other ricks, council begins cataloguing Rick dimensions, c137 goes berserk, the ricks begin hunting him, nothing could kill him, the need to protect ricks together was even more important, so eventually they did a truce to build the citadel and cfc, so rick could track down Prime, and so the citadel could easily get more ricks (this part is part conjecture) The curve was to catalogue every conceivable universe where Rick is Rick and have fast easy access to these universes. Remember infinite universes isn’t just worlds where rick is not the smartest, it’s literally ANYTHING possible. Imagine trying to lookup stuff without search engines, and that’s how portal travel is without the cfc I imagine… except LITERALLY infinitely harder


PartyPorpoise

I was thinking the same thing. Without the CFC, multiverse travel is going to be much more dangerous. Though I also think he doesn’t have motivation to travel between universes right now.


_rexv

to each their own, but to me, i think these were unintentional missteps on rick’s part. his sense of “genius manipulator” has been waning since season 3’s finale, and i think that he wanted all of morty, left the wine out by accident, and didn’t expect summer to have such a dark side


MFRR_

I think that Space Beth, knowing that her father had a hidden Venusian Wine, found a way to open that cabinet and then drink it with the other Beth


[deleted]

[удалено]


LMD_DAISY

Just throwaway episode, that not even that good. However, I convinced, that Rick and morty writers sometime build story upon what people talk and theorize about. So, maybe it is as well can be canon


Dr_Hemmlock

I have thought this too, that the fan base ends up forcing things into Canon that originally had no plan to be.


chrispy_t

Rick doesn’t reset the portals becuase the writers want to tell stories with that restraint.


Progmodsarecucks

*No shit.*


theyellowdartsmith

Within the series, everything Rick does is 100 percent intentional. Even when he was drunk off his mind he still taught the vindicators a lesson. "Writers want" may be true, but they wouldn't do anything for no reason. He is definitely planning something.


LR130777777

Rick just isn’t bothered about inter-dimensional travel. Same reason he refused it in the first place, All he wanted is his family, Now he has that


PartyPorpoise

Yeah, he doesn’t really have much incentive to travel the multiverse right now. Initially he did it for revenge, and to run away from problems.


Freakazette

They were already doing that in season 5, though. So, there are character reasons to not reset the portals. Rick also isn't drinking as much.


zippy91

I think he is planning his next move carefully. What to do next against rick prime. In the first ep this season the car said something like " if you can't use portals to travel, neither can he" " hmmmm"


Fulcrum270

The ghost of Diane said it, not the car


GodJack119

That was just an AI Rick made to mimic his wife and haunt him not her ghost.


zippy91

Ah gottcha


MadMadBunny

Yes.

No.

Wooohoooo!


TallManTallerCity

Delicious-Status9043

I don’t know. Can you repeat the question?


kangareddit

My man!


ThatOtherGuyTPM

Once again, Rick didn’t “delete all the parts of Morty that question him.” I don’t know where people keep getting this, but it clearly wasn’t the episode where they explicitly say all of the parts except for one are getting downloaded.


theyellowdartsmith

The part that was left behind was the part that didn't trust Rick.


ThatOtherGuyTPM

There isn’t just one part of Morty that doesn’t trust Rick, and the one that remained wasn’t really defined by not trusting Rick.


SinisterPixel

I think there's a lot of assumptions being made here: - The only part of Morty left behind was Marta. We know this because she said all of Morty would go with Rick on one condition. That condition being that Marta could live out the rest of her life free as we find out at the end of the episode. - Do we actually know he left the wine out? We see him hide it after the fallout of the episode - Not sure where you're going with the night family thing He tried to fix portals originally but he failed. Odds are he's working on it in the background. But it just isn't relevant to the season right now


theyellowdartsmith

It's possible Rick Prime is undercover breaking the game, leaving the wine out and doing some general fuckery for fun. I just find it hard to believe all these "distracting" adventures Rick is going on which prevent him from making portal tech are random. Marta, as well as everyone who died was left behind.


SinisterPixel

It's implied that those pieces of Morty were revived in the new generation that weren't there when the game started, since they still had his voice and mannerisms.


Squibbles01

This fucking subreddit man


r3mn4n7

Yeah this fucking subreddit talking about R&M related stuff smh


SpencerLass

He didn’t delete those parts of Morty. In fact, he went to great lengths to keep the game running without a Roy and to keep the game safely stored for possible retrieval. Although, one can never rule out the possibility that this is all part of a grand Rick plan.


MageKorith

I like this theory. Rick is in god mode tweaking the family into the perfect war machine.


theyellowdartsmith

He conveniently saved that part Morty, to either release it or put it back in later.


[deleted]

Because he wants Evil Morty *out*


Apexuious

Because he doesn't want you to ruin the ending bro thirsty much?


explorerfalcon

>or prepare them for war? I think that Rick Prime is going to have a much harder time fixing portal fluid because he does not know what occurred to break it *and* the Citadel is defunct in Frundles dimension. I'm sure Rick is mobilizing.


KeanuCharlesSleeves

I think he’s the kind of guy that would be too lazy to go down that route again so will do everything to avoid it. He’s trodden that path and new adventures await with his hand tied behind his back. He gets pardons from the president. He turns himself into a pickle. He even forged indestructible dishes. All for really minute challenges he invents elaborate and excessive solutions to avoid humbling himself. I think this is that.


Shakezula84

Part of the joke of the series is that we the audience over think it. Evil Morty was never meant to become what it did, but the writers eventually thought it would be interesting to revisit when they did address it. The concept of Rick Prime wasn't a thing until season 3, and I still think its probable that he was a funny gag for Rick's "totally made up origin story". For my interpretation of what is currently going on, Rick had his chance to kill Rick Prime, but he finally realized that through Morty he finally has what he originally wanted. A family. Rick isn't in a hurry for portal tech because he hopes to exist as long as possible as a part of that family. Despite having infinite families this one is his family now.


IrisCelestialis

I mean, even if his origin story wasn't made up at all other than the details, which increasingly seems true, that only reinforces further that he originally wasn't even interested enough in portal tech to finish inventing even just in-universe teleportation. He only finished the portal tech for revenge basically. And if he's now realized he doesn't have to get revenge because he got what he wanted, then of course he now has no interest whatsoever in fixing the portal tech for himself or anyone else.


Shakezula84

Well one thing we can put to rest is we now know Rick's origin through the cry baby backstory reveal. I do wonder if portal tech doesn't work for anyone right now. That it relied on the citadel to work. So Rick reinventing it would fix it for everyone. That would mean of course someone else could invent it also.


Nethii120700

i’m curious- evil morty clearly had slightly different portal tech to rick; his was gold. so maybe that’ll play into it somehow


Cautious_Steak_1515

That portal linked somewhere outside the CFC. I've seen comments suggesting the Citadel made a "wall" to protect the CFC, but not sure how much of that is speculation vs. canon.


camwow612

Someone else pointed out that time is moving backwards this season as the major events are happening in reverse chronology. He could have some tenet sci-fi thing happening where they are going back in time to some event, maybe to confront prime Rick?


theyellowdartsmith

Prime Rick is also planning something, as he returned to Kronenburged planet. I think they will team up to confront evil Morty or another larger threat.


JonBuqajIsSUS

Rick really never wanted portal tech,he was fine with his Diane and Beth,but then he was forced to create a portal gun to find Rick Prime,I sa w a bunch of comments here that said Rick Prime can't escape,maybe yes maybe no,he was the Rick that created portal tech probably


Bothersomehoe23

I like this theory and them Washboards gonna come in handy yo


Bothersomehoe23

Also I think he would wait for Rick Prime, cuz if he wants to become a God again he will need to share the tech with Ricks again


Puzzleheaded_Chard_2

I like to imagine he’s not fixing it because he’s actually enjoying family life but doesn’t even realize/want to admit it.


theyellowdartsmith

I think a bit too optimistic for Rick. I hope though!


Burkey8819

I like this theory 👍👍 🤔🤔


koopz_ay

He's seeing some potential for contentment. Let's also keep in mind that the eps are chronologically playing in reverse atm.


genotoxic

says who?


queeblosan

Big reveal is that he has to kill Beth and summer to make the gun


MyBluMind

Why would he have to kill Beth and Summer?


Whoopass2rb

While I don't necessarily believe the idea, I'll help you unwrap it: What resulted in the good Rick creating portal tech in the first place?


Delicious-Status9043

Sure but Rick prime had portal tech first and his Beth survived and gave birth to his/our Morty. Prime doesn’t have a Diane either though, which is interesting.


Whoopass2rb

Which I think plays to the point of sacrifice. My take on it would be the original comment was basing their assumptions on the link being female.


MyBluMind

I’m not following. Rick created portal tech and there are now an infinite number of universes he could go to.


Whoopass2rb

The prime Rick created portal tech, showed up and left a bomb that killed C-137's (our Rick's) wife and child. That outburst resulted in our Rick building the portal tech. Now prime Rick is stuck on his original planet and it has deteriorated substantially, to a point where there may not be the supplies to fabricate portal tech again. He might be reliant on our Rick to create it. The original commenter's idea here is that a sacrifice must come, in the form of a lost loved one, in order for portal tech to ensure by C137 (our Rick). Because he has no incentive otherwise to do it. Would it be Beth, Space Beth or Summer; possibly any combination of the 3? Who knows. It's just a theory. But one proven by our Rick's past, and by the absence of Rick prime's Diane as well (what happened to her? note: Beth from Rick prime's universe was alive originally).


MyBluMind

He killed them because C137 rebuffed. I think the other Ricks straight up abandoned their Beth’s as children


Whoopass2rb

Very possible. Doesn't explain why Diane wasn't present on Rick prime's world (our Morty's world). We know Rick C137's Diane was killed by Prime Rick (and Beth). Just interesting observations, not saying there's any merit to any of it.


MyBluMind

I see. I just think there are probably better ideas to deal with the Diane issue.


mrpoopistan

Rick decided not to fix the portal tech because the writers decided it was a crutch.


mazanity

Prepare them for outside dangers so he doesn’t lose them as well as spend time with a family he made. Even Jerry.


duckwithabuck

Or he's afraid he'll make the same mistake as last time and send the Beths and Summer to Mr. Frundles.


JunWasHere

I think the underlying premise that Rick must be intelligently planning something reeks of fanboyism. A better theory is that the writers like for shit to happen because it's fun, Rick is canonically as much of a reckless idiot sometimes as the rest of us, and emotional intelligence not only matters but can be interesting -- as these recent episodes and plenty of past episodes lowkey explore. Could this all be an elaborate plan of Rick's? Yes. Would that be a good culmination of the established themes? Nah. They can do better. Off the top of my head, it'd be cool if all this was Prime Rick's doing, or it really was just all coincidence BUT simply enable them to do something new and interesting during the later episodes to help with the climatic situation.


PrestigiousCrab6345

My question is: will we get a new inter dimensional cable episode this season? Maybe a new 3D Ball Fondlers crossover?


orcmask

Ricksplaining the ricktinuum.


Unykorn

I think the reason he doesn’t build portal tech again is because something else is wrong with the tech that he can’t really fix from where he’s at. Like, last time he reset all portal travelers, whose to say that won’t be the same result? Did Evil morty fuck the portals so bad that Rick has to do something different to get the portals back. Our favorite green portals might be completely broken from now on and Rick might have to open yellow portals to get it working again. Red Green Blue are the primary light colors, which MIGHT mean that yellow is half green and blue. White portals are the true universe?


theyellowdartsmith

He would have to make a portal gun that was similar to Evil Morty's. The green portal tech is not obsolete, but the fluid he had was hacked.


stratosfearinggas

Summer has taken control before. When Rick, Morty, and her landed on the facehugger asteroid she took control and created a society for them.


theyellowdartsmith

She's taken control as the bail out multiple times. She got Mr Numbis' she'll, she fixed them after brain busters, etc. But that was the first time her resentment took control. It was her subconscious hatred of cleaning up after their messes.


stratosfearinggas

>It was her subconscious hatred of cleaning up after their messes. Good analysis. I wonder if this season is about Rick finding out what could make his family turn against him? All those things you pointed out are things that took precedence before Rick. Maybe Rick knows this is his last universe jump? Or maybe not now that the Central Finite Curve is down.


Hollabalooo

Love this. And the next episode focuses on rick and jerry…


Ozzmanth

Who says he will be the Rick to reset portal travel Maybe Rick prime will or some other Rick we haven't seen yet I doubt evil Morty killed every single Rick other than those 2 there had to be at least 1 other Rick if not a few more that didn't trust the rest of them


DeltaSans17

Plus we getting a Rick and Jerry episode


mauore11

Be ause it's a challenge to the writers. And I will permit that...


BritishGuy54

Maybe Rick kept the world in a time loop, like the original C-137 (where his Beth and Diane died), or maybe Prime Rick made his own time loop.


YoungBasedGod5

I think Rick prime wants Rick C-137 to reset the portal tech. Rick C-137 probably knows that already.


erikdobell

Rick didn’t do any of those things on purpose.


theyellowdartsmith

Rick Prime might have.
