Marcus, talk to us behind the scenes, what were you seeing with Red Rooster? What's the backstory? What did you execute here and what transpired?
20:23
Well, we're poking around on the internet, right? Just looking for some customer insights around Red Rooster, and there's this rumor floating around the internet that Red Rooster is a money laundering front.
20:35
And it's because sometimes you don't see a lot of people in the stores because most of their orders come from delivery and drive through.
20:41
So people are looking at these empty restaurants and being like, "This is a money laundering front." So it's something true, something that people are saying about the brand.
20:50
So through a series of delicate meetings with the client we're like, "Can we post on TikTok that you're a money laundering front?" And they let us get away with it.
21:01
And yeah, that's what we've created.
21:03
And what we're trying to do with the Red Rooster social is just be so true to ourselves.
