thing pre ST pre ST PST. Yes, you so Kyle was on shark tank. And I, you know, what's funny about how the world works. Like I remember the first time you came on the show, I was like, oh, let me connect you with my friends, Nick and Elise. They had been on Shark Tank and for Bantam bagels and they had gotten a deal and that kind of, you know, change their business for what it is now. Now they're on all the Starbucks and then, but it's so funny because I remember connecting you guys and then like,

who knows? You know, I don't sit there. I think the worst type of people that connect people are the ones that like ask 700 times. Yeah, it's like the person that brings food to your dinner party and then ask if you tried the food.

Like, yeah, we know you made it. We get it. Like we don't need that. But you guys, I had totally even forgot about that. Then you're going back, then you're like, you're told me you're like, I'm going on shark tank.

And then I'm like, wait a minute. You have the best asset in the world because you got you can give you the, you know, the hits and tricks. Exactly. Exactly. Yeah. I mean, when the opportunity to be on Shark Tank fell on my plate.

And then you introduced me to Nick was amazing because they told me this is what happens. This is actually what happens. They give you the whole back behind the scenes thing. The things you don't know. Like I watched from home and I'm like,

get them Kevin. And then they're like doing Kevin's makeup, you know, like during the commercial. Exactly. Exactly.

But yet, thank you. Thank you for having. No, no, no, I didn't say that. The thank me. I'm telling that the listeners to know how much of a God said I am.
