| 0:00.0 | All right, welcome, everybody. |
| 0:02.1 | We're back for another episode, and we've got one of our regulars, Mr. Arthur Kolker of |
| 0:06.8 | Stafi with us. |
| 0:08.1 | I really wanted to get him on because Stafi have been doing a lot behind the scenes, launching |
| 0:13.2 | a lot of cool stuff, and there's a new website that we want to get everybody to go to. |
| 0:18.1 | So, Arthur, thank you very much for joining us. We're in May, |

| 1:13.6 | It's not just limited to stay five customers or certain PMS. |
| 1:17.6 | Every listing we can find the world where we have a direct booking site. |

| 1:25.6 | So it's really a meta search, similar to like |
| 1:27.8 | Kayak or Gota. So we're returning the universe of properties, all the prices. And then if somebody |
