Because when I first, this is sort of probably a problem that doesn't exist anymore with the internet and all the websites that are out there.

When I moved to LA, I still did that. I got a call from a friend who grew up with my next door neighbor when I was in law school. And he's like, yes, so-and-so said I could call you. I helped him move to LA. And years later, I ran into him. He goes, Jordan. I was like, do I know you? He goes, yeah, you helped me move out here. I said, oh, right. I remember that call.

He's like, I'll never forget how much you helped me when I moved out here. And I said, so what do you do here? And he's like, I'm in charge of booking all these studios. And I said, really? And he's like, yeah, anytime you need a studio, I will make sure you get one. And you're never, you're not going to pay for it. I'm always going to comp it. And that wasn't something I could have planned.

Right. And it's really easy to do this stuff. This is not a massive time investment per person. Somebody sends me a text. What is UWS again? Upper West side. Oh, thank you. Don't go there. It's too far from where your office is. Oh, okay. Good to know. Hey, this person says this. That sounds like a scam. Don't bring them into cash. You're going to get mugged. Okay, thanks.
