**Introduction**
Thank you for joining me for another episode of The Fort Not Lost in the Woods Podcast. I am so excited with my guest today, and you will be too. I have Rob and Cricket Webster. It seems so weird to say your last names. I’m just like, everyone, you know, no one ever says your last names ’cause you say Rob and Cricket and people know who you’re talking about, right? Like, we just know. Everyone knows. Right.
So, you guys have so many things going on, but nothing going on at the same time, right? Like, Yeah. Exactly. Absolutely. just like, by design, right? That’s what you wanted. Where do I even start? I have known you forever, Cricket. Gosh, way back when I was at KZ and N. I don’t even remember how long ago, 2000 something. Mhm.
And I met you way back in the Cricket Alley days. Well, you’re still in the Cricket Alley days, right? Correct. This is actually our 25th year. Oh, my gosh. Okay. How, when did you start Cricket Alley? 2001. Okay, so I met you in the really early stages then. Yes. That’s so exciting. Oh, my gosh. And you’re still going. Are any of, how many of the band members are the same? Actually, the only original band member left besides me, and he’s not the musician on stage, but is Doc. Doc’s still there. It’s hard to imagine, but I’m like, oh my gosh, 25 years. It’s a quarter of a century. Oh, my gosh. It is. Don’t say that again. Stop it, would you? Wow.
So that’s exciting. Wow. And you’re still doing it? Yes. I’m just one of those people that don’t know when to quit. That’s probably good. How many dates do you play a year? We scaled it back a little bit. We’re probably doing around 40 this year. Less than normal. I’d say 35, 40. It’s normally like 52 or so. Wow.
Yeah, we do a lot more in the summer, but we did want to kind of scale it back because, you know, we enjoy playing and we enjoy, but but it is also work. Yeah. And, you know, we have some things that, you know, we’re at a point in our life where it’s like, oh, we want to go hang out on our boat, you know, and and and the summer and do some things that we just want to do because at, you know, the ripe old age of 29 and holding, you know, you want to do some things you want. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
One of the other reasons too, though, is we have a a stage rental business, and some of those events we need to personally be at. So, those times we won’t book the band that we need to be with the stage. But there are a lot of times we just drop the stage, set it up, and then we’ll pick it up after the event. Yeah, it’s a it’s a portable stage and it opens up, and it can be rented either just the stage or we can add lighting for additional. Um, and then sometimes we can even add full sound production too.
That is awesome. I didn’t know that. This is our fourth year with it. Wow. What is So, what do you guys not do? Maybe we should just start with that. Well, we we don’t work a full-time job anymore. We don’t smoke cra-. Right. Yes. And we want to talk about you not working a full-time job anymore. So, let’s go back before we talk about Tater Patch. And when you bought that, when did you two meet?
2007. And then the patch came along when? The Patch? Well, not when it came along. When did you guys decide you were going to become bar restaurant owners? That was in 2015. Mhm. We bought it November of 2015. 15.
How big of a conversation was this before you pulled the trigger on that? Oh, it was a big conversation because he kept saying he had recently retired from the military, and he’s like, I really He had done some other project management and some other things, but he was traveling a lot. Yeah, I went I traveled a lot. I was back in Iraq again for another year as a contractor. Then traveling all over the United States, and I would either fly in or get back home from a job site and show up just in time to go to a show. Friday night, I would meet at the venue, and then we’d play like Friday, Saturday, and then we’d get home, so Sunday morning, maybe 3:00 a.m. from a show, and then I’d sleep a little bit, I’d get up, I’d wash clothes, and then I would take off for the airport. Oh, my gosh. Like 3:00 the next morning to either be at St. Louis Airport or drive to Memphis or, uh, up to Chicago or wherever I was working. And after a few years of that, I just like, you know, the money’s awesome, but I I don’t want to be gone all the time. Right. And so I tried to retire and I couldn’t do it, and I’m like, I need a new mission. You know, a soldier needs a mission and, uh, I was pushing her for a while that I wanted to buy a bar, and she wasn’t into it for quite some time. Oh, I was so against it. I was like, no. No, I don’t want to be against it. Why were you against it? I know why I would be against it. Why were you against it?
Well, because one, there’s no accountability for people. The accountability always seems to fall on the bar. Um, at least that was my perception, you know. Yeah. Um, when you deal with alcohol, you know, you’re you’re and that’s part of why I I chose Tater Patch because although it was somewhat of a bar, it also had the it was had a very, very big, strong food program. So it was it was a restaurant with some entertainment, which we loved. Yeah. Sure, yeah. And it had 50 years of history. So that helps move you in that direction, you know, it has a proven track record instead of somewhere else that’s like a startup or it’s been out of business two or three times and you’re trying to revive it. You know that the level you’re going to have to work is so much harder, uh, to to make it a good place and grow clientele. Whereas the Tater Patch, you just had to be smart enough not to go in and screw it all up. Because it was already successful, you just had to find your ways to make things better where you could. Yeah. Yeah.
I don’t know. I have a soft spot for mom and pops. And so I know of a a restaurant that has been around forever. And, um, these people bought it and you could just I mean, we never know. I I don’t like to look at the people go, well, why would they do that? Or they should do this. ‘Cause that’s my biggest irritation when people try to tell business owners what to do. You haven’t walked in their shoes. Right. However, you could just see some of the things they were doing and how cringy it almost was, you know, like, oh no. And then now I heard that it’s probably not going to be open much longer, and I’m just sick to my stomach because it’s been around forever, and it’s almost like you could just see it decline. So it’s so smart to to take this thing that is already doing well and and just leave it alone for a minute, you know, until you learn the ropes. Right.
When we bought the Tater Patch, you know, Joe was extremely smart when it came to his food program. Yeah. You know, and he had entertainment, but he always was very he paid really cheaply and he bought typically got cheap entertainment ’cause he was not he did take care of Cricket Alley, but he said we put butts in seats. That’s how he put it. You put butts in the seats, so you’re worth it. Right. Well, and maybe that wasn’t his thing. And but it’s obviously your thing ’cause you guys have Yeah. Well, and that’s one of the things that we that was one of the things we’re like, well, that this is one area that I feel that we felt like we could expand and make better and make bigger. You know. So, the entertainment did. We did kind of scale the entertainment up a little bit. Did you love that part of it so much? We did. We did, but we it’s it’s weird over time when one thing we have noticed is that the younger generation is doesn’t support live entertainment like the older generation did.
So were there any bands that you wanted to get into Tater Patch that you never were able to get in there or something that you had on your list, like, I’d really like to get this this band in there and weren’t able to do it, or do you pretty much accomplish everything you wanted to accomplish? Well, we knew there were definitely limitations to our venue because it was a smaller place, so it was unrealistic to be able to bring in bands that were. Well, I know you’re not going to get Willie Nelson. No. But I mean. But but you’d be surprised how many big name artists actually hit you up. We were known, the Tater. There’s there’s there’s some sites out there that track where, uh, there are consistently live entertainment venues. So all these promoters around the country and booking agents and stuff will hit you up for all their artists, and some are big names. But it’s like, they don’t necessarily pay that much attention to know what you are. Yeah. It’s like, this is not realistic. But we we did we we did pretty well. We were able to work really well with the Springfield bands. I would say the Springfield market is is not the best music market, so a lot of those musicians, they want to play out of there. Try to spread out, whereas St. Louis market is a better paying market. And so it takes more money to get them to come out. So, we didn’t work very much with St. Louis bands, a couple along the way that were really good. Kansas City was just I it was too far. Yeah. You can’t you can’t afford it as more of any to pay them the rate they want that they can make in their city. Right. So you got to pay them more to travel, plus provide, you know, hotel rooms. So it was never realistic. So it was really about trying to find the best local regional bands so that when customers came in, they could grow a fan base with us. They had to be good enough to not run people off, but to build a fan base. So we didn’t take startups, very few startup bands, always established. But once we would pay a lot of attention, because we’d probably get hit up three times a day by Really? bands wanting to come in. It’s just a lot to go through, but we just kind of had to watch it close and do the best we could. One thing, though, he was refer talking about the bands, but one thing that we did also do when it came to like startup, I feel like we did a a pretty good job of supporting like solo artists, uh, especially young ones. We have more than a few that actually did start doing, you know, their solo shows at the Tater Patch and that kind of grew with us. And, you know, some of them went to college and did some other things, but but they have appreciated that we were willing to do that. So when it came to bands, yeah, we had to kind of look at that as more of we have to be careful with the startups. And when it comes to the band situation, another another thing that I was going to mention was there were bands that we loved that were phenomenal, but I always remembered what Joe said and as a as an owner, and I see it from both sides. I’m a I’m a band and an owner at that time. The band has to put butts in the seats. Right. It doesn’t matter if you’re the best band in the world. Or if they’re Cricket’s favorite. That’s right. If there’s nobody else if nobody else will come and support that band, it doesn’t matter. Right. Yeah, it doesn’t matter how good you are. It’s can you put people in in the room? But it’s a shared responsibility. It’s not just the band’s responsibility. It’s also being a good venue too and taking care of customers and providing a place that people would want to go because, I mean, we travel all over the state, and there are there are fans that will come to see us at certain places because they really like those places. They have choices. So you have to also be a really good a good place that, you know, good food, good this, caring about their needs, making sure their drinks are filled, things like that. So, uh, their safety, that the ladies have a feeling of your safety when they’re there. You know, so you have to try to juggle it all. But yeah, when it came back to artists, we were always, when it came to acoustic acts, solos, duos, we always worked on new ones.
So when you te- something just hit me. I don’t know why this question just popped in my head. But, so when you two met each other, you both kind of had your own thing going on like as far as entertainment, music and that. What was that like, Cricket, to just have this guy all of a sudden, now he’s part of Cricket Alley, and you have to maybe compromise a little? Was that hard? I don’t know why that just popped in my head, but.
Um, well, initially, you know, he was not in the band initially, right? He was just kind of there. He was kind of helping and and I was used to being in charge. Right. That’s what I’m thinking. I was used to being in charge, right? I’m like, it’s my band, it’s my name. I’ve been doing this a long time, and I’ve heard for years, a girl can’t run a band. You know, so, but the reality was that over time when he joined the band, what it did do for me was it allowed me an opportunity to step back a little bit and get to where I could enjoy performing and not having to worry about some of the things that he’d started taking care of. And although I used to say, I want to take care of it all, the reality was, I didn’t want to take care of it all. She was happy to dump the load. I can relate to that so much. She was happy. And he’s really good at like certain detail things. He loves that part of it, and I like the social part of it and the performing part of it and, you know, those things. But I don’t I don’t like the drama, the politics. I’m working to get off stage now. Are you going to let that happen? That’s what I’m working for.
Well, speaking of working, okay, we’re going to take a quick break. And when we come back, we’re going to find out, probably most of you already know what they’re up to if you if you’re on Facebook or social media at all. They’ve got some real shenanigans going on. We’re going to find out what they’re up to when we come back here in just a minute.
**Ad Break**
**The Websters on Social Media**
Back with Cricket and Rob Webster. Do we al- did everyone always say Cricket’s name first? Like, should I be saying Rob and Cricket? That’s the way. That’s the only way. But my name’s more memorable. Your name is very memorable actually. And Yes, it is. Is that your real name? No, not legally. Yeah, ’cause I remember this, but I kind of don’t. Just know that my mother did name me Cricket. That’s what people need to know. It feels weird to call you anything other than that. Anyway, I didn’t give myself that name. Trust me, as a child, you don’t like that name. I like it. I think it’s adorable. Oh, yeah, but as a child. Yeah, I get it totally. I know that you can be a little rowdy. And I’m assuming that’s where you came up with your new, what do you call that? Your social media handle or Rob and the Rowdy Cricket. Is that right? Correct. So he got his name first on that. Yes. Yeah. So what gave you guys the idea to become uh, internet famous?
Well, we’ve always been performers, right? Uh, it’s just another level of performance in a sense, but to be honest, I mean, just to talk about money, I guess, but, um, look, I see all these young people and crazy people out there in the world, and and there’s so many claims that you can make a fortune on the internet. And I’m like, well, I’m I’m in between jobs right now. You know, I’m like, look, I want to see if it’s true. Yeah. I said, look, I I I’m I have no one left to impress. I know, isn’t that the great thing about getting older? It really is. And I’m not looking for a corporate job anymore. I don’t have to go and interview in front of anybody. I’m not worried about who’s going to say, oh, you’re being stupid on the internet. You know, I don’t care. I’ve got some natural stupid in me. You’re very good at it. And I want to see what can happen. So I just uh, wanted to say, let’s take a couple years and see if this grows and what it can do. I want to see if all this claims that people make that can do this and do that, if it’s really true. And actually, I’m seeing it uh, very well very much can be true. Yeah. So.
Well, how’s it go- so when did you guys start doing it? I I started seeing your stuff maybe November, the very beginning of November. Okay. I I was going to say I So about 90 days we’ve been running it. We started the page like November 1st. And is it just Facebook, or is it TikTok and everything? So we’re we’re on Facebook is the primary one. ‘Cause that’s my primary social media, but I’m also I so if something’s on TikTok, a lot of times I don’t catch on to it very quick, so I didn’t know if you were on there, too. See, the amount of view is better on Facebook than probably any of them right now. But, uh, TikTok, we’re on there just because of your making the content, you might as well put it on all of them, right? Yep. So we’re on TikTok, which we’re not really pushing the same to grow the fan base yet ’cause you’ve got to be 10 thou have 10,000 just to be monetized on that. So that’s just going to have to come along when it comes along. Um, and Instagram, we’re on there, too, but we’re not really they’re tied together. Me, you know, Facebook and Instagram, so I I’ll post it on Insta, which will share it to Facebook, but Facebook is really where we’re at.
Are you having fun with it? Yeah. You look like you are. It’s Well, it’s interesting and and it’s it’s funny, though, because, you know, like we’re just doing, you know, silly stuff or whatever, you know, recreating things and, you know, just talking about all different things, you know, money and shopping and retirement and just, you know, silly little challenges or whatever. But I’ll tell you what’s crazy. I have learned that there are some really mean people out there. That is exactly why I’m terrified to do it. I my niece, she’s kind of big on TikTok. She’s really made some money on TikTok. And she’s like, you know, you should do it. And I’m like, I don’t know, you know, I’m 52. She’s like, yeah, but you there’s this whole demographic of women that would relate to you and blah, blah, blah. And I’m like, and be mean to me and I don’t need that in my life. Oh, you could so do it. I’m so proud of you guys because how do you get that thick sk- well, you guys have each other, though. That that has to help. But I mean, people can be mean. Yeah, so when we first started the page, I I took a couple things personally for a second and I was like, oh, my gosh. I would, too. Like, I was called these names three times in one day, and I was like, wow. Like, not nice names. And it was a silly video. I like, we were over exaggerating, you know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And he was like, babe, if if we take all of this personally, we’re putting ourselves out there. Yeah. You know, then it won’t it it won’t work. You know what? It’s like, well, now I’m just like, these people don’t know us. Yeah. And a lot of them, when you go and look at who they are, they’re like fake profiles. They have like four friends and. And they’re just mean to people in general. Yeah. And so I’m like, you know, that’s okay, you know, sometimes you say any publicity is good publicity. When someone’s mean to you, do you go look at them every time or do you not every time? I don’t read every comment. That’s good. See, that’s how I would be. Yeah. I personally don’t. That’s what I told my niece. I said, if I do this, I’m not going to But you’re supposed to. I know. I know, but where do your sanity come in? You’re supposed to respond to all these comments because it helps drive the algorithm and keep it moving. I let him respond. I started to say, can you do my? I let him respond to a lot of them. No, I will say that when especially when it’s a lot of my personal friends, I will try to respond when I know them. I mean, and overall, you know, I think we’ve done fairly well for this silly little thing that we’re doing, you know. It’s it’s adorable. I love it. Just getting started to be honest. I mean, we’re nobody, right. We’re little infants in it, you know. We’re just getting started and, uh.
How much time do you spend a week on it? Well, only a few minutes shooting videos, maybe, you know, 15 minutes or so, if you have to do two or three different takes or move the camera around. Maybe 20 minutes, 5 to 20 minutes shooting. But then the editing takes takes a while, because you have to you have to keep people’s attention. You only get so many seconds and then people want to, you know, they’ll scroll on. You need to change your camera angle about every two to three seconds. There has to be a different shot and you have to keep having hooks and and we’re not necessarily the best, but over time you learn how to become better. Right. So really, we’re just in a learning phase. We really are. We’re yeah, we’re we’re definitely when we did the one just was it yesterday that we did the balloon? The balloons. Oh, I don’t think I’ve seen that one. Oh, it’s a little bit it’s a little bit longer. And I had come up with it. He didn’t really know what was coming with it. And but it didn’t work. Oh, I really want to see it. And it didn’t but it didn’t work. But and I was kind of I had found it off off of someone else and so but we kind of and but we ended up totally changing the whole thing because it didn’t work. Now, we did end up figuring out how to make it work. It was kind of funny. But. Yeah. She’s so originally now she’s getting more into it ’cause at first it was really me wanting to do this and I would be researching and coming up with the concepts and ideas. Oh, that’s nice. You don’t have to do that. He’s still doing it. Yeah. And I I but now I’m all But now she’s getting into it. We need to do this one. We should do this. She came up with the idea for this one, and then I’m like, do you know if it works? And she hadn’t tested. So she didn’t even know. So it didn’t. So it didn’t. And well, we learned why it didn’t. The balloons had to be filled up more. So So, did you still use the video that you made it? Yes. You did? Yeah, we ended up creating something else out of it. Oh, okay. Which the good thing about that was is we weren’t completely copying someone else’s idea. But, you know, again, there are like little challenges out there right now that you see three, four, five different people doing the same exact challenge. The same TikTok. The same TikTok dance or the same. So there will be some repeat things that we do that we see other people doing because it’s popular. But we’re also trying to come up with some of our own content, too. Yeah, you want to come up with your own original stuff, but at the same time, they even recommend to you, the way you find things that are that will work is you find people within your niche within the areas like retirement or husband and wife, you know, relationship is where we’re at. Yeah, yeah. You find those people that are really successful, then you go through all their reels, their videos, and find the outliers where most of theirs they may be getting 20 or 30 or 40,000 views, but you want to find the ones that were a million and more, and then you want to find that concept and then basically recreate it. Bring it to your people. And then if you find one of your own that works really well, then you want to just kind of double and triple down on that and redo it, but change it. And so that you can capitalize on what was successful because something clicked and you need to find a way to keep that going. It’s weird.
Did you see the one he just did about where he took the nice, pretty photos of me and said about the marriage and then Yes, I did. Uh-huh. Yeah. My a bunch of my friends were like, um, are you alive, you know. I I think my favorite one was when he was talking about and I did see some people being mean to you on this one. And then it’s funny because I’m a really loyal person and I’ve known you a long time. And so I want to be like, you shut your mouth. But then I’m like, no, I don’t want to be I don’t want them focusing on me. So I’m just going to sit over here quietly. Which one which one was it? It was the one basically when you first get together how they eat. Oh, yeah. And then later. And I had seen other people do that one, too. And it’s so it was so. I mean, I definitely over exaggerated on it. I loved it. I thought it was great. I laughed and I laughed. That’s going to be like 3.9 million now. Yeah, that’s the that’s the one that I had three people call me really bad things. Well, out of 3.9 million, hey. Oh, I didn’t see anyone call you really bad things. But. Yeah, but yeah, and I and I always want to say something like, my little my little chubby thumbs are just going in. And then I’m like, uh, I don’t really want them to focus on me. And then I’m deleting. Well, there was a a female that said something about one recently and Rob looked this person up, and she had like, what’d you say? Like four friends. Yeah. And like no profile pick. He has some really good comebacks with people. Oh, that’s See, that would be handy. If I had somebody that could handle the mean part of it, I would do it. And I don’t. Sometimes I’ll just have fun with their mean comment, you know, whatever and put a meme up. And there isn’t that many. I mean, if you go, most people are are pretty good, you know. Yeah. Overwhelming majority, yeah. A few that aren’t and you can either be playful back with that, a little sarcastic, maybe, or if they’re really, really nasty, I’ll just I’ll just delete them or block them. Yeah. Because you don’t need everybody. You don’t need that in your life. There’s there’s Exactly. There’s billions of people. You know, so you don’t need them all. Yeah. And the reality is those those people are bringing you more clicks and more views and more whatever anyway. Right. Have you ever seen the girl that does the makeup? She’s amazing. Like she could look at you and make herself look just like you when she looks nothing like you. And she she Yeah. So she does this makeup and she when I first started watching her a couple years ago, it might be a movie character or an animal or something and you’re like, oh, my God, how did she do that? No. Well, then she would have these trolls say, well, that looks nothing like it. You should just stop. So she goes to she puts their, you know, what they said up there. Then she goes to their page and gets their profile picture and she does herself to look like them. Oh, my goodness. And I have goosebumps. She is so good. I wish I could remember her name. I will send it to you because it’ll it’ll pop up on my timeline. I see them every day. And she is so good. And and that’s what I love about how people are kind of turning the tables now on these people and being like, look, um, you know, some of the the people that I watch that do recipes and different things and people are just so mean. And it’s like, just keep scrolling. What is wrong with you? Right. I don’t know. I don’t get it.
**Retirement**
Retirement, you it sounds like you’re busy, but what is it like to not expect your phone to ring all day long because this employee is sick or that employee doesn’t know what to do or this person needs this or whatever. I almost got in a whole cringe every time my phone rings thing. I mean, It’s awesome. Mine doesn’t ring anymore. Oh, man. ‘Cause Cricket forced all my friends out over the last Oh, yeah, good thinking. Good thinking. seven years. So now I don’t have any. And then she’s made sure I got rid of them all over time. That’s good girl. That’s a good girl. Oh, no. But we don’t own the business now. So it’s like, the big business. Yeah, yeah. So you really don’t have to juggle that. That stress is Did you just feel off? Yeah, there’s an instant there is an instant relief. And it’s it’s it’s a double-edged sword, too, because like, the instant relief is great. But it doesn’t mean like for me, I was the relationship builder with my staff. So I do there are things that I miss about my staff. And I’m actually still friends with some of my staff. Like, now we’re actually going to be friends. Um, but I so I do miss that camaraderie with them a little bit, but other than that side of it. Yeah, the instant relief that we feel the pressure of that, yeah, drops off. Have you been back to Tater since? Oh, yeah. Yeah. You go in and eat dinner and see people or Sometimes. Yeah. Is it weird? Do you want to get on to people and be like, no, no, no, that’s not the way we do this? Well, it’s funny. It’s funny. I was in there for lunch not long after we sold, and the new owner wasn’t there at the time. And I was I was eating lunch and there was a situation that that happened in the dining room with a with a, um, like a homeless person or whatever. And and I’m sitting there and I’m sitting there. You couldn’t just sit there, could you? And and I I got with, you know, Missy and I’m like, do you need me to help with this? And she’s like, yeah. And so I walked over and I kind of handled it or whatever. And I I called the new owner that night. I was like, um, I hope I didn’t overstep and I am so sorry if. And he’s like, no, no, no, no, you did you did exactly what I wanted you to do. And I’m like, ’cause I don’t come in there and expect, I am a customer, right? So I really do try to keep that boundary, you know, but it is weird a little bit. I would So we have a great relationship with Travis. You know, the new owner. Yeah. Great guy. He’s going to do a great job, and he’s doing a great job. Um, likeable guy, smart guy. He’s retiring out of the army now. But and then, of course, we’ve had all of our relationships with our staff, and there’s a lot that we really do have good relationships with. So, that’s the only downside is I knew living in Crocker and the business is in Rolla that we wouldn’t be able to casually stop by as much as I would enjoy. I would actually enjoy going there much more than we do, but it’s 40 minutes out of your way and it’s just doesn’t fit into your everyday life the same. So we actually don’t go there very much. No, it’s it’s. And it’s not because we don’t we would actually enjoy. ‘Cause, you know, you have relationships with all these customers and you don’t want to you don’t want to impact the new owner’s business and their authority by stepping in. So it’s good in that sense to step out, because it’s a hard transition. It’ll take two or three years for customers and staff to adjust where they’re not thinking, well, the Rob and Cricket did it like this, and this was like this. ‘Cause we heard that when we when we took over. Well, Joe and Linda did it did it this way, you know, and Joe and Linda did it this way. And then eventually, like, well, Joe and Linda ain’t here. Yeah. Yeah. It just fades away naturally. Well, now. Yeah. It will fade away naturally, like he said. And it’s funny, the staff always wanted and I don’t know if they’ve talked to Travis about this, but and I think we did do one run of shirts for the staff one time, but they’re always like, can we please get shirts that say, I know the owner, too? Because everybody would say, well, I know Cricket. Well, I know Cricket. And they’re like, so do we. Did you let them do it? Yeah. Yeah. Fantastic. That’s fantastic. Nearly the end. We didn’t care anymore at that point. Well, guys, this has been so much fun. Real quick, where is your next place that they can catch Cricket Alley? And I’m working on 25th anniversary Cricket Alley shirts. Cricket Alley on Facebook is where you can always go to find us. Yeah. Cricket with a K. Yeah, that’s right. Of course. So we’ve got private events, and then May will be basically starting our summer at the Lake. So Papa Chubby’s, May 29th and 30th. All right. Yeah, we’re going to be at the lake most of the summer. Busy folks. Well, that’s a great place to be. That’s a great place to be. And again, like I said, between the, you know, we do have our stage rental. So if people are looking for a stage to rent, completely portable. We drive it, we set it up, we tear it down, um, for any kind of city festival or any type of music, anyone needing stage. We’re always open to looking for new ventures. Yeah. You never know what we’re going to do. I don’t see you guys slowing down. That’s for sure. Nope. Well, thank you both so much for taking time to come in today. I really appreciate it. It’s been so great catching up with you and I’ve wanted to do this for a while actually. And when I saw that you were quote unquote retiring ’cause it seems like you’re still pretty busy. I thought, maybe maybe I can get them in there now. So, thank you both for coming in. I appreciate it. Thank you for having us.
