He had to, you know, had the first sort of medical med tech company for the 19th century. And he was the humors, you know, the idea of like how people would sometimes try to cure people that weren't necessarily medically oriented and those beliefs.

I feel like at that time, first of all, people were going to the theaters to watch movies. And again, it comes back to that thing of, well, the studios will produce stuff when, when they're making money. So that was happening.
