You know what I mean? Yeah. It works. But like for networking it's like, Oh, here's Bob. Hi, my name is [inaudible]. Hi everyone. Well, yeah, it's hard to have, you know, and yeah, you can't have like 37 random conversations going on in a room cause you no, that's what I, that's why I kind of made, made the thing going, Hey, if you haven't met someone, don't sell them something. Just you know, invite them to do something like this. Like there's nothing, you know what the hell else you got to do. Right.

I went up to the little seven 11, you know, right at that, right at the corner, 15 mile and, and watched somebody, you're probably doing a good 70, 80 miles an hour whipping through food. And I'm like, w like did I miss an announcement? Like are there actual zombies now that we're trying to get away from? Like what, what, what's going on?
