it'll be an interesting chapter for people to go back and look at. Like historically? Yeah, historically. And I do think about that sometimes, maybe it's self-serving or narcissistic or something. But we do that a lot. Like you go back and you think about the civil rights movement, you know, and you have all these politicians

sort of trying to insert themselves, you know? Like Joe Biden met with Nelson Mandela and was arrested at the airport in South Africa or something. Stuff he never did, right? But we all wish, like I wish there was a picture of me like holding hands with Martin Luther King, like walking across a bridge in Alabama, but there isn't. But there's not.

You know what I mean? And when it kind of came to a lot of COVID stuff and canceling stuff and that kind of stuff, I was just like, I want to be on record as saying, I didn't sign up for this, I don't condone it, and I will stand up against it, you know? And not stand up against, you know, diseases, airborne diseases or anything,

but like the part where they're shutting the beaches. And you know, like I went, they shut down a place about five miles from here called Tin Horn Flats. It's a restaurant, family business, been in the same family for 50 years. I went to high school with the guy who runs it now. And they said, they shut down dining

and they moved everyone out to the patio and everyone had to set up all the nuttiness, right? And then the word came down that they were shutting down the patio. So Gavin Newsom said, no more outdoor dining. And Tin Horn Flats was one of the few places that went, you know what, enough's enough. We're not doing it.

Really? And they stayed open. And they got kind of vocal about it. And now there's an iron gate around the whole place and it's shut down and they're out of business and the family is out of business. But when I heard they were shutting down outdoor dining and the tin horn flats was defying that order,

I got my son and I said, we're going to tin horn flats. I'm in La Cajonada, like I've never eaten at tin horn flats. It's not close to where I live, but I'm like, boy, get in the car, we're gonna go make a statement, and at some point when they're shorting this mess out,

I will be on the side of people that went to Tinhorn Flats. Yes. And you, son, will remember that your dad, even though it wasn't very popular, was on the side that went and supported the restaurant. Such huge lessons in that. So no, it's not standing next to Martin Luther King.

But you know what? It's our version right now in so many ways. Wait, before you answer, I'm always cold. Uh-huh. Girls are always, women are always cold.
