Like human resources for cult recruiting? Yeah. What do you mean? Do cults hire them? No, I think they join the cult and the cult says, oh, this guy's really charismatic. Or he was, I think half of these dudes were like ex-club promoters. That makes sense. They got that vibe, you know, like, I wish you'd come by tonight. Right.

And I spent time in San Bernardino with a couple of people, three or four people, three people. that talked people, women, into doing adult films, like young girls that were 19, 20 years old, just starting college.

Tell me more. Tell me about your mom. And you get that – they all had that quality to them.
