Yeah, I'm watching this at home while I'm building the social investing app that at the time was called Iris. So that's what's funny about it. I, you know, we run the Pelosi tracker. I'm not a political guy. I'm just an everyday dude. You know, I'm 26, moved out to California to build this with my friends. And then the politics stuff starts happening.

And like our mission with our app is to try and instill trust back into institutions. And we always wanted to do that. And our bigger picture was financial management and that whole space. But then we started seeing the politics stuff. It's like, this is incredible that they're able to do this. We have technology and we have the team that we can actually build a way for us to get involved with it.

Yeah. I mean, it's just hilarious. It shouldn't be. No, I know. I know. It's crazy. You have to laugh at tragedy. I know it's working. I'll get into the whole thing about how Pelosi crushed it. She was up 54% last year. We got half a billion dollars invested alongside her. The app is too popular. It shouldn't be this popular with just a slogan, invest like a politician.

We're going to build a way to get in on the action and what better way to do it and highlight the epoxy than copying them. You're making my day. Yeah. I mean, I, again, though, if I can snap my fingers and have it just go away. Of course, but you can't, unfortunately. So, okay.

Yeah. Pelosi. So Pelosi gets a lot of headlines for obvious reasons. One, uh, millions, massively outweighs what the other politicians are trading. And I'm talking like she's trading 50 to 60 million while everyone else is trading smaller amounts. When she got married, I think it was in 2012, And there's a whole arc for her. She got married in 2012 to Paul, Paul Pelosi, ex-VC.
