I have not.
Oh my goodness.
You need to look into Savannah bananas.
This is a guy that literally took one of the most boring sports in the world, baseball.
And I think I have revamped essentially it from the fan experience.
Right.
And, and just overall just applied culture to, to baseball where like tradition is super strong and you only do things a certain way for the last 130 years.
Yeah.
Now he's like,
you know completely flipped it on its head the performances and everything else it's kind of like a harlem globetrotters similar similar to a harlem globetrotters it's still a competition but there's just like different rules and stuff okay like for example you know pop fly foul ball if a fan catches it you're out uh you you only win by the inning you don't uh runs don't score past that particular inning you know it's just all kinds of different stuff you have to
You have to be able to dance in order to play.
And, you know, they do introductions of the players from out of the crowd instead of coming out of the tunnel type deal.
Like just all kinds of... That's really cool.
And the crazy thing is what he's been able to accomplish is now you've got a three-year wait list to be able to get into a Savannah Bananas game at retail price.
No way.
Right?
Three million fans that are waiting to be able to buy it.
a ticket and you know you got a 40 to 80 80 retail ticket that is selling for four to five hundred dollars in the on the secondary market right now and like the demand is just through the roof and they're creating more teams and it's just all these different things and i think just it's proof that when culture is applied to the boring right yeah you can do something absolutely incredible obviously you've done that
in the pest control world, you know, focusing on the employee with the cool sports.
And, you know, I think lucky for us, we've been a part of multiple cultures in the door-to-door space in the Utah space, right?
