I got a bit of a view of the sort of people that own Reptals. You've been rather open with your contempt through the years, frankly. I found it shocking. And we were in some of my, my was eight at the time. Now nine year old wanted to get some sort of reptile for his birthday, which was December 23rd.

And I think this was just, I think this just popped into his head when we were at the pet store and we're at the pet store just like randomly we went to John, but juice and there's the pet store next door. Hey, let's walk in and walk around.

And he saw some reptiles and thought, oh, that's cool. Originally, we're talking about a chameleon or an iguana, some of the bigger cooler things, but

um, Komodo dragon was mentioned exactly a T-Rex crocodile. Um, it turned out, um, babysitter that he, uh, adores, she grew up with a gecko and really like geckos and did a little research and, uh,

millions and some of those other ones are pretty mean and bite or don't care about people and geckos for some reason kind of actually bond with people in their gentle. So, we went down the gecko and they're excellent insurance salesman exactly.

Uh huh.

So I did a little research found out a store that was good for went to the place that's all about selling various kind of reptiles and everybody who worked there was straight out of if you were going to make a sitcom about people who work at a reptile store.

The word the black jeans, you know, black t-shirts, pale skin facial hair, the piercings, just mean everything the way they talked.

It was just very, very nice. Couldn't have been nicer, couldn't have been more helpful. I mean, like, you, I wish every store I went to had employees as knowledgeable and caring about what they're selling.

Well, they're enthusiasts, right? I had one of those deals. We were always mocking or I was looking to is going to get in. I got to get a new TV. I figured out that what I was going to try to get for Christmas wouldn't work on my old dumb TV. I got no choice. I got to get a new TV.

So I go on and I'm asking a person some questions about the TV friggin obvious like within 36 this person has knows less than I do. And I've been, and I've been thinking about this for a total of five minutes.

This person knows less than I do about this TV right who's explaining to me the various things read the tag to reading the tag to me.

God dang it. Kids out there, you know, I ran into this a lot during the break. Maybe I'm thinking about it because my kids are getting older and then, you know, they're going to be heading into the workforce soon.

And I want them to be successful. There's just you're running to young people. I think you're going to be fine. You're going to struggle. You try it all at your job. It's not that hard. You work in the electronics department.

When you're standing around, pick up one of the brochures and learn a little something about the frickin TVs or Google that once at home.

Know something about the products you sell. I'm not working at home.

Seriously, try to separate yourself a little bit from the other people you work with so that you can move on.

You're supposed to research it on the internet. Then come in here and buy it. Older guy.

All right.

I'm fine. Founder if you want. Google it. But I know what I'm teaching my kids stupid. Anyway, I saw the reptile store and these people like super knowledge, but knew everything about what they were doing.

I'll bet they get paid a real wage or as my wife said, they're super into reptiles. Where else they're going to work? I don't know.
