But, uh, the reason I mentioned it is because, um, that was, you know, my kind of eyeopening experience seeing people who purposely went back to jail.

Cause that's what we would start to see.

Like people just, they had a better time in there than they did on the outside.

Cause I would get to know these folks.

You know, as it'd be in there once a week.

So yeah, I've never been, I was arrested for drunk driving about 13 years ago and I spent about four hours in the clink and that was enough for me.

Yeah.

I'm enjoying talking to you.

I mean, we can talk forever, whatever you want.

I mean, we still have another hour or whatever.

Yeah.

know yeah um there are whistleblower programs i mean there's like stopfakes.org i think is the big one um and and all the brands for the most part all the brands from sneaker companies you know printer manufacturers bicycle companies all the way up to you know the luxury brands typically have a page where you can report counterfeits report fakes um so there are programs for that and that information you goes in usually goes into a repository where there are all other

You know, locations.

I'll give you another anecdote that's funny as far as whistleblower programs.

Part of my job when I worked at my original location where I worked in L.A., a detective agency where I was a young employee, part of my job was to answer the 1-800 Dino Cop hotline.

And it was for Jurassic Park fakes because Universal was on a massive Jurassic Park sweep in the 90s.

I mean, Jurassic Park T-shirts, I don't know if you remember, but they were everywhere.

So they had and someone else had like the Disney hotline on their phone.

But I was the one that had to pick up and say 1-800-DINO-COP and then actually take leads.

And we would have a binder that we would write it down.
