He seems rested. He seems motivated. I know he’s probably a little wealthier than when he left Jeran Fraser [from ReserveLand.com. Shall](from ReserveLand.com. Shall) I list off all your other domains? Jeran: No, please don’t.

Jeran: I haven’t bought that domain yet. Hey Mark. How are you doing bud? Good to hear your voice. It’s been a couple of two, three weeks. I’ve been in and out of Canada. Mark: Yeah. Look, I’m not ashamed to admit, I missed you. Jeran: You know I will tell you a real quick funny story. So I’m walking through the US Customs going through Canada and in Toronto, the customs is actually on the Canada side so you don’t do it when you come into San Diego there you just do it in Toronto. So I go through and I’m at the last guy. So you go through, you do all your stuff, you put your passport in, you put your thumbprint, whatever you do, all the stuff you do. You get to the next person stamps your book and then you walk through. One guy left togo in. The guy looks at me, he stops and he goes, just yells at me he goes,“Read number 15.” Mark: Read number 15? Jeran: Yeah. He shows me this form. It didn’t have any pertinence to what I was doing. I read it to him and he goes,“Oh I’m sorry, read number 14.”Like really angry US Customs. . . Mark: You’re telling me somebody in Canada was being rude to you? Jeran: No, no, this is an American guy. Mark: Oh, okay that makes more sense because Canadians are unbelievably polite. Jeran: Very, very, very, disrespectful guy. So I’m thinking to myself,“Okay.” I’m in a suit. I just got done four days of a trade show. I just want to lay down and just prepare my flight.” The guy goes,“What do you got in there?” It was a trade show booth. I said,“Okay I’m taking it back.”“Did you bring it with you here?” I said,“Yeah.” He goes,“Well you missed abox.” Like just plain angry. So anyway he sends me to secondary inspection and secondary is pretty much I thought I was in jail. So I go to secondary. . . Mark: You thought you were in jail? Jeran: It was scary. I go in and the doors close. You can't use your cellphone. You can’t do anything. You have to sit in this room and you have to wait until they call your name.

So after like 15 minutes, I say,“Hey is anybody going to help me. They say,“No, that person they just got to lunch he will be back in like 20 minutes.” I’m like thinking to myself,“Are you serious? I’m going to be here for at least an hour.” Mark: Right. Jeran: So anyways 20 minutes go by, 40 minutes go buy I’m at an hour and everybody that came after me is gone. Like they have already gone out. So I’m the only guy left in there. I look up at a guy I said,“Hey what’s going on? I’m going to go?” They are like everybody else was a different issue, you’re a different situation. My heart sank. The guy who yelled at me for using my cellphone. Literally, I couldn’t do anything.

I said,“What have I done?” So finally a guy walks up and goes,“Which guy has a trade show booth?” He goes,“Okay you can go.” I’m just thinking to myself,“Dude are you freaking serious?
