But, you know, at the same sense, like if you know what they're doing or actually put an effort into looking who you're bringing in and that would involve saying, no, you're a copycat place.

We're not doing that.

No, you only have one subscriber, you know, and I can't tell you like we never refuse an interview.

But looking at them and saying, you have to have a following.

You need to have at least X amount of subscribers or followers or something.

Because it's very frustrating when...

You know, we, we've been working with mil spec monkey for, for years and monkey is a great guy and he will relentlessly always come over loyally, come to us and give in and do interviews and everything else.

And I'm dealing with a guy and his wife who have like four followers that want to clear the booth so that you can get a good shot and all this other stuff.

But I got monkey over here and a couple other influencers that we work with that we have a great personal relationship with.

And I got to put them on hold because these guys are trying to create a name.

And they're just good, honest people.

Yeah.

But, yeah, you know, because maybe this is me going off on a tangent, but, you know, they you need to have the passion behind the event, too.

And that, you know, understanding how to structure an event and the logistics of it.
