And he is right. A few weeks ago, we did a podcast that we've already launched. It was our gear and review where we, it was actually you, myself, Mr. Eric Barber.

And we went through, you know, some gear that we had used throughout the year that we thought was really cool.

Yeah.

But now we're on the front end of the year.

There's a lot of new cool launches out there.

We try to stay up on these things, you know, see what's interesting.

And I said, well, hey, let's sit down.
