In this episode, James and Michael dive into the booming world of digital products, online course-selling, and the growing obsession with "easy money from home." From so-called “Digital Marketing Starter Kits” to £360 PDFs promising passive income, they unpack the psychology behind these trends—and call out the rise of what James calls the “new Avon lady.” We break down faceless wealth creation, Facebook ads, and why many of these online business models start to look a lot like modern-day Ponzi schemes. If you've ever been tempted by a “secret sauce to success,” maybe think twice before spending your hard-earned money on a dodgy course.

So everyone wants the shortcut and then This isn't reality. He. Welcome to the Fe marks. Just quickly before we start, Michael, the clips on here. Right? Yeah. Some of my. A blur is up because I sit back and forward. Yeah. Okay. Can we not do that, please? Oh, I try and fix it, but if I don't consistently go back. Right. Am I fixed now? Let's check. Yes. You're right. So as the podcast gets late into my retreat, it is because I can't stand still like this by the end of it. And yes, I have board, right? Okay, so next I hear the next night here again. I don't know where he is. He didn't even say he's not come in because he doesn't give a Tony's a bit grumpy tonight. I've had a bad way. This way? Do you know why it's such a positive way? In the last two weeks that made this week feel worse? No, no, this is just a normal week of So I'm enjoying the highs now and then you will. I'm just getting a bit tired at the minute. I know it's just a bit high ups. Found this though. No more popping over there. Yeah, well, you're happy you've got a month. I, I I'm ready. Annoyed with just life in general at the moment. And work, by the way, so far. Yeah, just Rupert's just there's a lot of complications and, and. Yeah, stuff going on, which is great. Some positives, lots of negatives. But all in all, it's all right. Yeah. We're here to brighten your week with a fine look at podcasts. Yeah. And this is my therapy so. Right. I've on Monday Monday. But it Monday. Basically one morning this week I went on to Tik Tok because I got notifications saying I, as you did, pulls you in doesn't it, that are naughty bogus. And I got pulled in to Tik Tok and I keep getting served to really ladies of a certain age over 30 who was selling digital products, who I'm now classing as the new Avon lady. What is a digital person? Well, it's things like an e-book. But is an absolute Ponzi scheme. So what it is is that, for example. So I went on this live because it collared me as it did. Does I was that you sent me a message that you just wrote, like effing scam was a scam because the life it ended, I couldn't say what it was. So you're just ranting. So I know I was on this live and I was in a mood. It must be Tuesday. It must have been Tuesday because Monday I had had a shit day. So it must have been Tuesday morning. And they all send people to this thing called a standstill, where she also a course to someone who wants to earn money by selling that course. Yeah, so and so on and so on and on this live. And I was amazed. I was like basically asking the questions. Guy says he reckons she's made 23 grand, right, in six months, which is a whole book on I was it could be, it could be anything cross stitching or any nonsense. So I then said, okay, well is that 23 grand net gross? And he's not including that. She goes, I'm not too sure she English. Yeah, she's obviously selling at that. And I was like, I can't be. You're on here, I don't know. You weren't alive. Now there's me and nine other people. I was I'm typing this in and you're preaching about selling digital products and people like what product? What's a digital product? She didn't really answer it. And she thought, no, no, if you're misinterpreting what I'm saying. No, no, Charlotte, what do you sell and what's your margin? Well, what it is, is I buy the course for free. Six and I sell it for free. Six day. Okay, great. So your first sale is break even anything post. That is profit. Yes. Okay. Right. So we finally get that. Thank you. Other. But it's an utter utter utter pyramid scheme. And you've got I I'm just shocked that exists. I mean, I'm not that shops because the amount of videos you see, you know, where it's like everybody wants, like a way to make money that, like, is easy. They could do from home. They don't have to like, think for. But it's nothing is easy. No, no, no I agree. But I'm saying the everybody that's what everybody wants basically. So these people obviously profit off that. No I know they do. But she's I'm honestly I'm so annoyed by it. I don't believe she's made that money. And so I started for where they post the, like, screenshot of how much money that might be. I don't know if they actually made it off that. It's an utter pyramid scheme, but why I get frustrated is that I a lot of my messages going through to her being, quarantined, but there were not like there were just me, like asking valid questions like, what's your profit? What should not you know, all this is what she grow, what's, you know, all this stuff. She's probably just deleting the message. No, she actually wasn't to be fighting you system. Well, she looked like she was just on the side, so, if I could have a modern. There, there. Deleted. I was nine people. No, no, I'm just saying, if, like, she's not doing that, which is, like, moderate as well. Yeah. Just get rid of it. Yeah. But this isn't a, this is a that is she. She's not gonna want this girl. So I then after giving her a load of grief for ten minutes then just flicked across and someone else came on, this one was a little bit more bullish. I'm like, oh no. I was like, you know, again. And I went, hey, look, it's the new Avon lady. She'd like me. She, I like. But my question it to you really is right. What's the difference between that and what next doing at the clinic with the school. Because Nick's actually doing it legitimately, and it's like he's giving you more than he's asking from you in return. Okay. So she. So this is what she sells in her and her stand still. Oh, and by the way, she does not allow. Is that the woman space? I mean, is that actually her or. Yeah. This is her. Yeah. So this is her. Stand still.

I'm sorry, who's buying this Look what a lot of people know. I know, but what? But this. This how? How are they buying this? How can anybody go on here and go, this is going to work because they're aimed at people who don't really know anything about anything. Because if you don't know anything about digital marketing, you'll be like, oh, I can just buy this. And then I know about it, obviously too awesome. Obviously not legit, but to them they'll probably sell. It reminds me of I was trying to find The Tick. Well, I can't find those. This guy was just like, here's a way to like, make I saw it like today. Like, here's a way to make money off, like digital products, basically. And he was like, if you go to platforms like Etsy, there's like loads of people selling like ebooks and stuff forever. Then like I saw in just looking for this. So this is a 30 page depression workbook and it's been reviewed over 4000 times. So if you imagine that 4000 people have bought it for $4, that's what like 16, 16 grand or something. Yeah. So he but this guy was just like, you go on one of these, you buy it and then he's like, you download it and then you own it. And then he's like, just make a Shopify and then just sell it. And I'm like, is that is that isn't that illegal? Like it? And loads of people in the comments who are like, nice, can I do this? Like I'm going to do this now, but I don't believe that make money because you bought it. Bought what? People fail to understand. And this is what I was trying to say to this girl. I'm like, what you're doing now isn't scalable, right? Not even scalable. Like you're going to create a huge amount of wealth. But just she sat there before she goes to work on a live for an hour. Right. She's going to make. A sale a week. Well, she's out just for California. Good for us. Had a week. So she's already put in the whole. She's doing seven hours of work on a live pretty before and probably after work. That's two hours a day. I just don't it's not scalable. Yeah, because there's no like, there's no, like, step two after that, is it. There's no like when you talked about with Nic school, it's like because Nic actually knows what he's talking about. He can like but Nic's a little bit different I guess, because he actually he has he actually has like he helps people right up. Same. But like, so he could do like a course in ecom and then he could do a course in something else. And like it's scalable because he can keep bringing new information or just because she probably doesn't know what she's talking about. She can only sell as many courses as somebody else is made for her. To Bali. That doesn't really make much sense. No. Thought she must first is still be doing it. It must be making us something. Right. Like I would go and live, right? I've gone live on TikTok. Well, I've got to say hi, Michael. Rob, because I want to prove a point with this is that we're going to go live now. We're going to put it here and we're going to see if anyone actually ask us any questions. Okay. For the digital marketing, this So we're going to say if anybody comes on this because we're going to give sometimes grumpy Salah is going to be off the rails this up. No It's just I just don't believe I think it's utter nonsense. I thought about putting this on just in my office. I mean, no wonder when I'm at home if anyone's got any questions, I want to know, what does it actually like to grow something from the ground up and you start there cold calling or the rest of it not. These guys got to do clips and all the rest of it. Actual seven hours of that you have to deal with all day and you've got these birds online, go in these digital marketing products and all this stuff, and it's like, what planet you on? That's what I mean. They're selling it to people who don't know anything, but they're not selling it to like, people like you and me. They're selling it to like, middle aged people who are like, oh, I've heard of digital marketing. Imagine what it is. Yeah, but let's say your mum, right? It's an example. Right? So mum is like high fat big age. Right. So she's on that and she goes to your dad. Right. Michael's saying yeah I'm going to like kills me. I'm gonna, I'm going to pay £400 for this course, which she's going to tell me outside. Of course. But then I thought your dad is would life be dad I'm hoping would guy. Yeah. Helen. So you're like, what the doing? Yeah. Are you on a different planet now? I might be wrong. No. Yeah, that's what I mean. Those that they're not probably telling everyone in their life. But would your mum, would your mum literally get sucked into that digital marketing product? No, I don't think so. But. But who is then? Obviously some people I don't know. I'll let this TikTok lives forever then. No, I wasn't there. So I've seen a TikTok live where it's someone who works and someone and they've, like, set it up at the end of the thing and they're just you can't really see what. It's just a side view like it is half of them just making sandwiches and I'm like, fabula. It's not like official subway. It's just like Brenda support and she's just making sandwiches. Bless her. Yeah that's fine. No, I get the bumps on the live guide. I want to say it's a digital marketing product because sits on her ass at work doing admin, and then she's telling the world how to sell a product. It's like the Yeah, but obviously the people following it, I know that, yeah, but you can't buy a course on how to like, like Facebook ads, right? As an example. Right. We know how hard Facebook ads are. Yeah, I know how to spend a lot of money on them. And it's not something you can just do overnight these lot on this TikTok live are going all this like, hey, just buy this course. It's like, so Nick and Olivia did that course for basics course. Are you saying because you're writing something right? I said to me today, Nick, that's ridiculous. I was like, why? I said, it's it's it's it's way too in-depth. And he's not really I might yes. He's like 17 hours of footage. He's gonna sit there and watch all that stuff being broken up now into different mods and modules and stuff, which is fine, but who's going to sit there and listen to that? But that's just that's just to be able to actually run ads. Yeah, a basic level. And there's like let's say there's 20 hours worth of learning there. There's giving you a a PDF. I'm not charging for £60 for that. So I mean because people say the people want the, everyone wants the shortcut and then they want the, they want someone to give them the answer which is here's I have to do it in 20 minutes, which we know doesn't exist. But to them they're just like, well, I don't want to like, read a whole book or watch 17 hours of stuff. I just want this guy who's going to be like, I'm going to give you four times your return. Just. Yeah, but that's not the real world, Michael. No, I know isn't. I'm me and you both agree? No one. I mean, who on this unlike I'm right. We've got to leave now just because. I'm just curious now who in this on this planet believes that these girls and it's typically like said mums and stuff who go on online and go in, buy this e-book. We checked her comments because I comments probably have lots of people being like, oh, I'm going to do this one. But they're not getting high, but they know they do get, hey, some of them are. But even then all of a sudden they're asking these valley questions because I said, look, sitting on your bed, in your bedroom or on your sofa for twice a day, for an hour and a half each day, trying to sell an e-book for £400 to someone else. Who's going to sell the e-book? Someone else. Now, how many times can you sell that over? The only person who's winning is one of the top of the pyramid. But who's forking out £500 and then she'll go through skin in two weeks going, oh, just one phone could on that call some skin. Yeah. Because you bought a shoe because. Yeah, well the amount, the amount of people selling those sort of courses, it must work. But again, it's they're relying on people without the knowledge online because you know that it's a but if you, if you were trying to learn how to, I don't know, bake bread and you like went on a thing and it was like, if you want to buy like the best bread ever. This is an in-depth of how to bake the perfect bread. You just got to buy this e-book. If it's somebody who sounds like they know what they're talking about, you probably be like, oh, I'll trust this person. I'm not saying you'd spend £300 on it. I'm saying because it's out of your wheelhouse. You think they're the expert? No, and I get that. But if someone said, why buy this e-book for 799? Because you're going to bake the best banana bread in the world. Yeah, and I was in the market to buy or cook banana bread. I'd go, you know what? I buy the sub 99 or whatever it is. But if someone says, right, can you pay me fringe £90, which I'll teach you how to sell the exact book that you're about to buy 20 times over a month. I'm sorry. You're going to sit there with someone and go, this. This isn't reality. A lot of people on that bright lesson, important thing is that they don't. And I just I just, I don't know, a thing is there's more stupid people in the world than you think. But are they stupid? Like, these aren't like, it's not like we live in the world. Like, you know, the 80s or 70s where, you know, the internet wasn't around and, you know, you took things at face value more. You know, nowadays there's something, you know, we're so fortunate with how much knowledge we have because of YouTube. And I'll say, you know, forget the news and stuff, but you know, the insight, you know, we have so much on social media platforms, it it's good, isn't it. In a way. So a lot more, you know, it's what kids are grown up quicker because I've got fed too much information too quickly. There's nonsense. I can't believe it, I can't believe. What's it going? That's a good idea. Yeah, but the amount of light. All you have to do is go on Facebook and you see the amount of people falling for stuff that clearly we know isn't true. I every time I go on Facebook, it will be like, oh, they're making a new all. They're doing a new, Breaking Bad series b c and it'll be some like page that will post like a clearly I have like we'll all sit in there and there'll be loads of comments. People going like yeah, can't wait. XOR and it's like people just have no like ability to understand stuff. Yeah, but that's clickbait and I get it. Well, that is not what it is in the big publishers are very you know, it's been the publishers are very good at it. That's what the woman is clickbait. And you were saying, if you buy this you'll sell this many you but people. But the problem is, is that fun? If I click on a link to a publisher and obviously they're just they're just feeding the algorithm of clicks because they're advertisers. Yeah, that's what they want. Fine. There's a difference between that and me as a consumer. Again, I've just clicked on a link and I'm now being fed a load of bloody stuff on a landing page. But because the data now gets all the advertisers, find the difference between that and some bird going, oh, I'm not going to spend £500 on a digital marketing course. It's I, I want a full page on how to do digital marketing. It's legit. Of course is not the chair. I don't know that last but I know I know that well. No, I get, I go I know they won't know it to the nth degree, but I must understand to some degree that they can't just go right this full page, PDF. Interesting to know how many she sold. She had a salt, sir. Oh my gosh, she would have. People could have sold loads. She should watch you. Actually, she saw 23g worth. So if you think the average course is 360, well that was that 23 grand divided by three, six day what's even more frustrating is all this content is on YouTube. Like the amount of free resources on YouTube is absolutely amazing. 64. But so 64 take off 20% sounds 5052 ish, give or take. Right. So I say she's on days. She's been doing that. I've. Yet she didn't have six months, though to get 50 conversions. That's even if that's legit. But let's say it is right. She she saw 50 of those ebooks in six months doing two hours minimum a day. Doing a live on Twitter. But again, she's bought the dream of somebody else. Wasn't. She doesn't invented the e-book. No, this is the thing. So I mean, she's probably been in a different life and been like, oh, I could do this. And now she's alive. And then one of her followers would buy it, and then that would be the that would be the idea. These like drug data is my basic. Yeah. These are kingpins are. And they've got all their little, little digital marketing girls on their Facebook lives. LinkedIn lives, TikTok lives. And now on the street corners. I have to follow the follow the, the trail, the trail measure. We could find where the book came from. We could try to get. It's really annoying because like it is, I don't I just, I just hate I hate people getting scammed. I feel more bad for the people that are buying them than anybody else, because we're the ones you know, we're in, you know, economically right now the UK is in a not a great place. And there's people out there that are so, so strapped, you know, good example. I don't even own a car. Right. Can I afford one? I distract one when I get buy one. Right. The the UK is in a really tricky position and you've got people buying dreams like this, a foam jacket and stuff. And I'm sitting there going, oh, you know, that's your monthly shopping allowance yet you're going to buy a course or e-book. And I'm like, why would you buy it? I buy into it. And then the I buy the dream, as you say. But nothing's easy because the problem is, it's not just that. What I also is frustrated. It's not just that initial purchase of that e-book, right? It's the purchase of ad spend. If you got on the paid for, it's time you you've got the organic route and you've like I said, you've got these women on here, buy this book. And when I called up that one lady, I knew all the new Avon lady, because that's all that was one of these Avon ladies making a money because I had to buy the product. Before you know it, it's, you know, they obviously you got sold the shame off. You sell this money this week. You know, you knock on this many doors, you'll you know, you'll be earning that no one you made no money from it. You know, they get swept up in it. Utter nonsense. She has annoyed me this way. Okay. Yeah, I'll get it. You do some. See this stuff, you think who's actually fallen for it? But obviously the amount of people that do it. Some. There's plenty of people for just. Hey, I just hate the thought that someone. And it won't be just people, but it'll be tens if not hundreds, if not thousands of people. And again, based on the demographic of who I've been served, it's, you know, middle aged women who want extra income by virtue of their kids parties, birthdays, holidays, whatever it is. And I get, I get like, I understand it and it's good. It's good. They want to, you know, provide and all that stuff. Right. Get it? I'm not saying that's a negative. What I find is frustrating that they're coming into that with a preconceived idea is is going to change that? Well, not going anywhere close to what they're being told. The reality is they'll do a fraction of it, not even close to what they've, they've they've projected and that £500 that initially spent adding the time as well. It'll be huge amounts. Yeah. It's a huge amount. It's not really regular is it. It's like they can they can make videos promise in and sign anything written. Well that's what that's why that is so low barrier to entry with marketing agencies and freelancers and stuff. Yeah. So what the average next two is doing really well because it's you know, you keep being taught by people that actually know what they're doing. A post some numpty is like, I'm a freelancer. It's like, okay, how much out spend you rather spend? Oh, you know that million quid now over 40 years? Okay. Well you spent ten today then. He's such a marketing product. And women in their 40s or something. The Xbox can get by, so I. And you should stop it because it's nonsense. It's annoying the out of me. I might not call you the Avon lady on TikTok. Live time bomb. And don't put out the don't put out these figures of it's 25 grand, it's 30 grand. It's not because you take a vat and you take off for now. So you've actually got about ten people left. It doesn't sound as good on a video, doesn't know it's such a nonsense. I've got an ad to talk about if you want to talk about, and I saw an ad fail. I'd like to discuss, big company as well. So my question is, how does how does something like this when you're as big as a company, how does it happen? Because I was a bit confused. So I saw the ad twice. What's the ad first? Well just bit I think this is the correct ad. Let me check. I did screen it because you can't, you can't like rewind on YouTube ad. So I had to wait till I got it. Context isn't necessarily important, but you do think just me, it's basically like, hey, just so this is the correct. And it's like saying, okay, you get that perfect. But the ad twice I got. The basic delivery, just like 99 to 90 days. All there was. No, it was just a blank screen the rest So all the rest of the ad had the person putting it in the bag, and then the end bit where it was supposed to say, just stay. It just didn't pull through. that was the second time I got it, because I think the first time I got it, I screenshotted it. Yeah. Okay. That was what I got. Wow. But how does that happen if you're just state. How is it not getting signed off a million times? It would have been signed off. You know, when you look at this stuff, how does that get signed up? Because that's. I don't even know how that I. What I tell you. All right. Is that using a media agency with that. And I know in spite of that Why would they have a version edited where the ends just is it so they can change like, well, you're an editor, see? Oh, no. How does that happen? Oh, I know later on you edit, but and I just say if it's because on the correct version. Why was that again? Yeah. But you edit stuff and then you put the wrong ending on. But there is no wrong ending. That should that shouldn't be any ending should it? I don't know, you're wrong because it's all I'm saying. Like there shouldn't be a version where there's nothing on the screen for the it because the sound is still there. So I just don't mean to stand. Especially if if I saw that once, I'd be like, okay, the fix if I saw it twice like days apart and it was still that ad, and then I saw it a third time and it was fixed, but I hadn't been on like I tried to find people talk online. Obviously nobody was. But that ad has been on like that same ad has been on TV, obviously with the correct bit at the end. It's TV, it's been on YouTube, it's been everywhere, even on TV. But without that on. No no no the TV was correct okay. That's what I mean. There's two. Why is there a correct one on an incorrect one. I just don't like. Couldn't get it. Yeah I don't know. But from your state like wow you got a check when you sign it off that it's not just a blank orange screen. We do I can I know that it puts a media spin behind that as well. Oh yeah. I feel just the fact that the fact the audio kept going as well, I was like, it's not like the video just cuts. It's like the sound of the woman talking about the deal is still there. It's just I haven't put any text on it. Okay. So that's the marketing you've seen this way. Oh, man. Very short film I've seen. Actually, this piqued my interest. timing is on this one. That. What the fuck? I'm the brand is, but they've got a little thing now where they on their Instagram tiles. They've got video, but it's all goes from one side to the other. So I've edited it all within that someone or for a bowl. That's got to be so hard to that. It's very well done. Like very well done I'm sure. Hey I'm sure this lad here, he he's got to think about it as someone who edits. That would be like an absolute nightmare. Like if he was like, oh, I've seen this. Can we do this? I'll be like, that would take like days. Well, I was going to ask you. So I'm assuming you're telling me. No, no. No dates are you talking about. It's in the, like, thumbnails. Yeah, yeah. I don't know how you'd even do that. It's very I see, I've seen, you know, the ones where people make, like a big picture out of lots of little pictures. Yeah. No, this is a video like me trying to pull it goes across the whole thing. It's pretty cool to know how that works as a whole. Lot cleverer at a more than me. Yeah. Until so until you post another one and then it pushes them all out and then it's like, yeah, that'll be permanent. Does your TikTok live going with that? Someone said, hi, but I don't know that should have put a, you should put like a description of it being like, these are scams you'd never flog. How to make a SAS product course more because I don't know how to, but it doesn't matter. It's like an e-book on it. Oh, it's nonsense of mine. You just go and ChatGPT put in how to make a SAS product. You copy and paste. Now you put in a PDF, put some Canva images in. I don't I'm impressed. What? Canva what? This week actually, I asked, have you come to this realization that mine was better? No, it's not a realization. It's just kind of a mess. It's fine. No, but it's subjective, isn't it? Yeah, but they're different. They're different things. Can you not mine. The the way I believe they should have. What looks a bit better? You can't be honest. It's fine. I admit, when I admit when you just have this back, the mind, which is all the time, typically. But that's you. You, steadfast on this thing she knows is. But I don't think mine's as bad as she made it out. I hate your text. It was just a different. It was for a different audience. Your stack. She's kind of like the yellow. You know, if you were going for the more like LinkedIn, you know, not hip at all. You've got this weird, right? I don't know, you put on all of. Yeah, but I don't if that's what I mean. It's it's awful. Right. Maybe if I showed it to other people they might not they might disagree if I, if I, if I, if I when and show 20 brothers straight now vlogs every week and I said, look, this is one with normal text. Monserrat just black. This is yours that go well the black just looks nice. Disagree. You reckon? A social experiment. We can ask in the office comment because that was the end of the asking in a fair way. And not like, do you like this one? Or is want, like, you know, I wouldn't do that. Is crime enough to bias the witness? No, no, I butter so yeah. There you go. There you go. I just might be jolly in next week. I'll try to be jolly up. Which is up. Depends on the week and how you've experienced a to go for everything. The problem with your stuff is it often like compounds on each other, isn't it? Where it's like one thing is bad and then some else goes wrong and it's like snowballs is so frustrating. Big ball of water. I'm now ten days behind where I was supposed to be and it's like, oh, come on, you know, I've got people why I've ticked off like Holly, nonsensical and stuff. And now I can hopefully get some good revenue from his client's best delay. Now, ten days is crap. And I think it's annoying as well because it's so out of your hands a bit more. Yeah, it's like you can't go in and do it yourself. Well, that was the reason for bringing the kettle on. But obviously I didn't work out. But it is what it is. And it's like, yeah, it's quite it's rubbish. Absolute pumps. It's very frustrating. So we'll be ready by the next fight marker episode. No because it's no but just delayed past that. Yeah. Because he's going a ten day scab period from Google. Google then I'm going to have to approve other things. You got to send in the time. Yeah. When I said the last day a week ago or two months ago and I haven't done it and then we do it the last time la la. So it means I'm delayed. I'm leave on the fourth to go to Austria for my race on the seventh. So I don't want to do not wait on them off. It's just it's like this. It's all the time. So is.

And I was on it, and you didn't look at. That and click the little thing. And I was like, oh, well, I'll report it because it's probably a scam. And then Google like emailed me a few days later and we're like, we haven't deleted it because we don't think it violates our terms of service. Really. And I was like, so Ukrainian women are still getting hit up on the rails and it's time I see it. I mean I know click. So yeah. But now it's been frustrating with This Way we go again. Yeah I don't know my knickers. Oh he's flying. And now in school 430 or something. And he does. Oh this morning he's not even free. On June 10th. Last week I'm sure that I was. Oh, I know you've hit a friend of mine. That's amazing. I went on a in the numbers. Now I, I think she's doing ads there is like, you could get this by the school. He is doing ads I've seen as you edited them out. She didn't you probably. Yeah I've seen them. I've seen is that they are I don't know not good. Yeah. I've got the Ripper ads sometimes Nick with his lollipop is enough. That's the best performing I know. Yeah, he said that. What? He said that might work.
