00:29:47.857 --> 00:29:48.337 Yeah. 00:29:48.337 --> 00:29:57.758 So actually we are selling it for more than couches are in the real life because, uh, metaverse real estate is at a premium. 00:29:57.758 --> 00:30:04.028 We had to pay a lot for our land in the metaverse and it seems like people really want premium couches. 00:30:04.028 --> 00:30:07.298 So, you know, we're really focusing on with our couch building. 00:30:08.182 --> 00:30:10.792 Couches that don't exist in, can exist in the world. 00:30:10.792 --> 00:30:15.923 So we just sold our first couch yacht, uh, for a hundred thousand dollars. 00:30:15.952 --> 00:30:17.182 And, um, 00:30:17.236 --> 00:30:18.465 Oh, real dollars. 00:30:19.583 --> 00:30:21.413 yeah, I been Crip 00:30:21.712 --> 00:30:23.542 I, yeah, it's virtual currency. 00:30:23.813 --> 00:30:29.782 That, that we then have to do several trades and, uh, find a lot of paperwork to turn

into. 00:30:30.817 --> 00:30:31.417 Exactly. 00:30:31.417 --> 00:30:48.337 So, I mean, between the several trays that we have to make between various crypto and real currencies, it actually turns out to be about 50,000 in like U S currency, which is still a pretty good for a couch, you know? 00:30:48.367 --> 00:30:51.877 Um, I would say we probably can only do one of those. 00:30:51.877 --> 00:30:54.488 We made a pretty big PR campaign about'em. 00:30:54.817 --> 00:30:57.337 Um, and honestly that's the only couch we've sold. 00:30:57.337 --> 00:30:58.988 So, um, 00:31:01.113 --> 00:31:04.143 It's I, you know, don't, don't feel bad about that. 00:31:04.262 --> 00:31:10.083 Califia, um, metaverse stuff it's really, it's really tough market. 00:31:10.173 --> 00:31:16.893 And you know, we're basically, we're competing against huge artists, right? 00:31:16.893 --> 00:31:24.002 With like millions of followers, people who are like super well known, who've worked to auction their art at Sotheby's. 00:31:24.603 --> 00:31:28.998 Uh, so the fact that we sold one like that, That's great. 00:31:29.448 --> 00:31:29.837 Yeah. 00:31:29.903 --> 00:31:30.413 Yeah. 00:31:30.413 --> 00:31:35.363 I mean, I do think like you're right, it is a space in which artists could Excel at this. 00:31:35.363 --> 00:31:49.397 So given that our team is a pretty creative team, we look forward to trying to, you know, pitch what we can in there and then maybe make some money, you know, um, At least pay for our rent on our land. 00:31:49.397 --> 00:31:52.847 I mean, metaverse real estate is just getting crazy these days. 00:31:52.970 --> 00:31:53.329 Yeah. 00:31:54.435 --> 00:31:58.395 is it also illegal to sell babies in the middle?
