People.
Laughed at me for being on.
TikTok.
People don't remember that, but like, I was an artist. I was supposed to be like this world-renowned singer, and I was on TikTok with like 12-year-olds. Yeah, exactly. They were like, this is for 12-year-olds. What's he doing? Exactly. Literally. So how did you quiet that? The critics in the music industry and.
Other celebrity.
Friends were like, what are you doing, Jason? How did you... I didn't.
Want to quiet that. I didn't care because I knew in the back of my mind that those 15 year olds in five years were going to be 20 years old.
Right. So even if the elders didn't join the party, the.
15 year olds were going to be 20 in five years.
So like, like it would make sense in five years. Thankfully, it all happened way faster than that. It makes sense now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It worked out. But that was a huge gamble, you know, it could have went either.
