Thank you, guy. I uh you just reminded me that it's been A few more years than I thought it was. A few years. You were back on the show in twenty twenty. uh when you told us the incredible story of launching the brand, Kenneth Cole. You actually grew up watching your dad run a uh a women's shoe factory in Brooklyn, and then you branched out on your own. You launched your own shoe business from the back of a forty foot truck parked in Midtown Manhattan. I remember the story you told about doing that during Fashion week or some fashion.
