Yeah.
Is that... That's 100% true.
Especially, you know, with the Hells Angels, them guys were...
you know, and the Bomber Squadron in World War II, right?
In the Plains.
And you see they had the Hells Angels, Death From Above, they called it.
And then when they came back in society and, you know, would live in the life that they lived and, you know, wanted to, you know, were looking to do that, they didn't fit in nowhere.
And that's how the birth of the clubs, I really believe, became like that.
You know, these guys started the club.
You know, they named themselves the Hells Angels in 1948.
in San Bernardino, California.
1948.
1948 is the birth of the Hells Angels in San Bernardino.
They call it Purdue, California.
And so that was from the military, the Hells Angels and stuff.
So a lot of backgrounds like that, the blue collar guys, the military guys, and all these different clubs.
I always say this.
