So I rock up into the city. I do a u-turn in the middle of the road cuz there's nobody there. And there's this bar called cooligan. So I cr cruise into Gans after doing a U-turn, driving by real slow. And I park right in front and I slide in and it looks like this American western bar, real long wooden bar, the liquor behind it, some server a, pool table in the back, karaoke dance hall in the front.

And there's this Harley Davidson looking guy with a big beard. About halfway down the bar sitting there, and I'm like okay. I wanna sit at the bar, but I don't wanna get too close . But I don't wanna be unfriendly. So I'll sit two stools away and sure enough, I sit down and the guy looks over at me after a half second looks over, and it's two in the afternoon.

We're drinking. Yeah. Looks over at me and goes, what's in the jar? And I was taken back. Right. A little bit like, oh, that was aggressive. . And you had your 

job with you in inside of the 

environment? No. I didn't know what he was talking. How did he like, okay. I was like and he goes and he nudges out the window.

Look, he looks like this out the window. He goes, saw he drive by. Ah, so he has seen your van. He saw the van, yeah. And then he saw me park in front, and then I looked out the window and you could see the van. And I got a big logo on the hood. Yeah. And then I thought, oh, okay. So we started talking and, before I knew it, he told me his whole story.

Complete stranger. In the afternoon and somebody in the bar told me his whole story. The next night I was at his house and he was on the show. Awesome. And his wife sat there the whole time. And really great couple. And as soon as we finished, she jumped up out of her chair. You gotta get me on the show tomorrow!

And, and I was just like, what is happening? This is cool. And so I was back the next night they cooked dinner together, we had a couple of beers, we talked I interviewed his wife. Just an amazing, so I pick up people in bars, is how I get some of the is some how I, I get some of the guests 

and it, so right now it's, you already know which cities you want to go from a planning perspective and you're using Facebook to get a couple of people, and if not, then you will find someone. 

Exactly. Yeah. There's on our website we've got, I use a software called Road Trippers. Yeah. And so the whole map is filled up with where I'm gonna be and not the dates yet, but it's laid out.

Yeah. It's laid out usually about, about six, eight weeks in, in advance. I've got the dates laid out. Yeah. So people can have a look at it and they can have a look and see. Yeah. And we're using it now as part of the the booking for people to book. Yeah. It helps them see where they're at and then they can get into the calendar.
