And for five years, Mick, everybody came to me with their products. There was no script, no onboarding. I just instinctively knew what to do with it. And I knew what to do with everything, whether it was Tony Little's Gazelle or Suzanne Somers Thigh Master. I sold all of these products. I sold all the little guys' products.

And it just made so much sense to me that you on the other side of this camera, you don't want to hear what the product is. It's a machine. Who cares? But what it does. In fact, did I introduce you to my fitness product when we met last?

Yeah. Okay. So I have here, for those of you watching, I have a three pieces of metal and a string. I call it a spin gym. And what it does is it rotates so quickly that it tones your arms and your whole upper body. But you know what I do when I go to pitch this, Mick? I don't show it because it's confusing. Why would I talk about it? Because you don't want it yet. So Mick, you're married, right?

Want three of them. That's exactly. Well, so what did I do? I didn't tell you that I'm in the National Fitness Hall of Fame. I didn't talk about me, me, me, or even the product because the product is irrelevant. And this is where so many people get stuck in the weeds. So I have now been teaching this because no one teaches this.

And infomercials, to me, this half-hour format just made so much sense. It was storytelling. It was interactive. It was testimonials. I did 197 of them on camera and many more behind camera.
