The best way for me to say that is I'm "Ian the Invader" and that's in quotes. Capital INVADER, I'm just kidding. And what I do is, I basically come out with my helmet, and I've got the shoulder pads and the fur and stuff like that. That I wear it at some events. Usually it's at the winter events and the bigger ones where a lot of people are going to be at. Just because of, it kind of makes you stand out you know. It's kind of like we're these characters in this normal thing or this sport of competitive eating. If we didn't have characters then it would be a whole bunch of fat guys or thin guys, or people eating around a table, a whole bunch of food. And that's neat, but it's always good to have someone you can either laugh at or relate to, or think of as neat.
