I need to take better notes when I'm doing these things. But I happened upon you, and I thought, hey, this guy looks really interesting. So your background has varied quite a bit. First of all, you're from Michigan, and I think you still live in Michigan. Am I right? Correct. Correct. So you're a Michigander?I'm a Michigander, yes. Okay. So, I mean, that alone. So, I'm in St. Louis. We are, you know, what would you call that? We're vertical from each other, right? So, straight up Michigan. St. Louis is great. You got Enterprise Rent-A-Car down there.

We got the highest murder rate per capita.Awesome. That's a good, we've, we've been bumped off by Camden, New Jersey, I think a couple of times, but we're somewhere in the top 10. Right. I mean, you don't want to be second. Right. Yeah. But we've been number one, a couple of times I know within the last few years, cause I keep seeing it on my feed because it's like, Oh, you're in St. Louis. Guess what? People die there randomly. Um, so yeah, I don't think it's, it's not random. I don't think. Well, Random is just people going… Well, you've never driven on the highway. No, it may not be that random. I don't know. But there was a person who was just firing guns off while they were driving down the highway. So that's kind of random. Not to bring everything down, Jeff. Bring us back up. So you're a Michigander. You are the pop culture…10X pop culture expert, but you're also a programmer. Is that right? Or some type of social media whiz kid? Not a programmer, but I am a product strategist, digital strategist. Oh, I'm sorry. No, it's all right. I just come up with the idea. Is that like a sanitation engineer? That sounds a little constructed to me. No, no. It just means I don't know how to literally program it. I just know how to say it. These pieces should do this. Nowadays, AI, I mean, it's on the way. You're going to be able to do it. Jeff, I have faith that this is going to be, by the end of this year, you will be a programmer in some way, shape, or form.
