Sure.

Maybe not even. But these older guys, these older investors don't understand that.
David26:11
They don't get that. They don't get how social media works. And they assume that there's a younger guy coming to them talking to them about an app. They assume that this guy knows everything. And they're like, that's brilliant. I love this. You have David Dob…
