Yeah.
Yeah.
I think, I think the first, you know, my connection to him was Ian.
Larry was his coach.
So crazy enough, 2023, when I was grinding, when I first moved to Austin, I was grinding for, you know, selling coaching to people.
I get a call and this guy's like, yeah, like I'm on tour.
You know, I want to run on that.
I want to run around the Island of Bali.
And I'm like, Oh, like you're like a musician.
And he's like,
No, he's like, I'm Jelly Roll's chef.
And I was like, holy shit, like that's crazy.
And then come to find out he's like, he won chef of the year for the UFC.
And like, and I'm coaching this guy.
So that's how I got the in with Jelly is I gained the trust of Ian.
And Ian was like, oh, like, you know, Matt's personality, who he is, like, you know, and he pitched it to Jelly where he's like, because Ian wasn't there the whole time.
And the problem was, and you probably saw this with Jelly, Jelly and Ian are like side by side at all times.
And Ian was gonna be gone and Jelly wasn't gonna have anyone to train with.
Yeah, yeah.
So they brought in a secondary chef, but then they wanted to bring me in to kind of play that Ian role to help him, to have somebody there to train with.
