Starting point is 00:00:00 check check Chinese check baby chicken check chicken sausage chick hern chick peas check check please chicks chickadoodle D remember chickadees remember that remember chickadees it was a little like a breakfast place I don't know if they it was chickadees and you go in there and they had um you know they give you the menu and it was they would hand write the menus every day which I think is probably why they went out of business I mean at that point you're more of a calligraphy shop or something I mean it hand I don't know they say home of the handwritten menu that was their big
Starting point is 00:00:58 ticket that was their big you know get you in the door deal home of the hand written menu and then they hand write them and then I don't know what happened I don't know what happened on there was a fire or something had something happened over there but um but anyway what's going on man not much chickadees that was it and I go over there and get me a little breakfast you know get me a cut of ham get me a you know two bird eggs two bird eggs and a cut of ham for $3 I remember and sometimes they have sweet sweet entrees it said on there a little bonus section on the menu it said a sweet entrees and it have you a little get
Starting point is 00:01:57 you a little hot cake or you know um what's that food we won in the war French toast get you you know get you a little you know a savory item get you something like that chickadees it was called and sometimes I went when I miss school if I would miss the school bus they had a man that would take me to school and his I don't remember his name but he was just kind of a kind of a mysterious looking man and he might have had I don't know cancer or something but he had um his son was named big Donald and his son was named big Donald even though he was little and and sometimes I would miss the bus and his son I think it maybe even
Starting point is 00:02:50 dropped out of school but I would miss the bus and the dad would take me to school in his car and he drove a car that was it wasn't a hearse but it was like it seemed like a hearse you know like they probably had ghosts in the trunk kind of thing kind of vehicle you know it was just I mean if you got in a car accident in this car you were gonna die because it was just real long and black and I think it was a horse but they had sought off the back and made it into a regular car and and that was big Donald's daddy and he would take me to school when I would miss school or when I would miss the bus and and sometimes he
Starting point is 00:03:46 would come out at first and he said you missed it I said I don't know and he said maybe wait a little while and I would wait a little longer and he knew it had already passed he was just kind of you know just getting me calibrated for a life of I guess uncomfort or of you know uncertainty I don't know but he come out another time did you miss it I you know I don't know I don't know if I missed it I mean it's 9 a.m. I've been out here for an hour and 45 minutes school started at 730 I probably missed it and he'd say well just you know it could show up so I sit there and wait it start getting hot have my little book
Starting point is 00:04:29 bag on feel my books heating up feel my homework all hot I didn't do my homework actually man I just feel my books hot okay I'll be honest with you but and then you say all right come on I'll take you and I think since his son had dropped out of school since his boy had given up on you know knowledge or blanket knowledge you know or governmental knowledge really education that they were you know that it was his chance to still have that moment with his son and we would ride we would ride in the car and I would try to you know practice it look at my book look at my spelling and and he would blow cigarette smoke over
Starting point is 00:05:15 at me he'd be smoking a pack of door aisles over there and he would get both windows up I mean I think he had damn glued the window shut because he loved all the smoke he wanted all the smoke baby and he blow that smoke on me and asked me to spell a word and I would just try to you know my face was burning my eyes were burning I would try to get that word out of me you know I in I in see what is it buddy what is it blow that smoke on me like I in see oh in spell it boy and he'd yell at me spell it boy and he'd even call me his son's name to sometime spell it big Donald spell it little Donald and he couldn't remember
Starting point is 00:06:18 sometimes if his son was named big Donald or a little Donald when you blow the smoke on me I in see oh in good convenience and he did not he didn't know how to spell shit so he would just kind of you know kind of oh there you go and then he'd let me flick his cigarette he'd hand it over to me and let me flick it on the floor and but anyway we'd stop at this place called chickadees and go in there home in a handwritten menus and we get in there and and I'd read him with a set on the menu and I would read him straight up what it said on the menu and I may honestly man maybe that man he might not even know what to read and
Starting point is 00:07:14 maybe this was his way of just kind of connecting with you know with an education he never got fully or partially even or semi-partially you know I don't know but chickadees I remember and then they you know one thing one guy the guy with the best penmanship didn't come in or something he got in a fight with his wife and then and they didn't have a menu one day we went in there and they didn't have a menu and nobody knew what to do the cut you know the waiter just the waitress just standing there with her arms in the air and and the cook just fucking gave up you know just cracked a couple eggs right
Starting point is 00:08:00 into his damn mouth and just walked out and and I think they burned the place down for insurance or in yeah for insurance money but anyway what else man let's get into the episode brother gang you know it come on I'm just sitting on your front post wondering how could I be so far from my home come on boy put that negligee on and my mind is somewhere else but when I found it I'll patch up where it's been grown come on little Donald big Donald come on now I'm just on the breeze and I feel I'm falling like these leaves of corner
Starting point is 00:09:00 stone when I reach that crowd I'll share this piece of mind I found I can't see it in my bones get skeletal baby let's go a little time let it hit your daddy set that parking break and let myself on why shine that light on me come on big Donald come on little Donald in convenience what can I get you just for you you want them over easy or what I've been moving way too fast on a runaway train heavy load of my past haven't we all baby we're just tugging that past with us riding on and I just meant to see it'll probably still come just wait out here it's

Starting point is 00:14:06 guess I don't know if it something happened some insurance scandal or something bullshit and they shut it down but yeah I want to go I want to I just and I just got back I just got back from the hemp baby from New Hampshire and now I want to go again I want to go do something again you know so sometimes when I can't travel you know I'll travel inside of myself I'll take a little a vacation to just a specific time or a specific moment and I'll try to remember all the things I can about the moment sometimes when I think of the past or when I think of something I don't I forget to think of all the different
Starting point is 00:14:52 things of the senses you know because that'll that gives my memory more you know more batter to make a cake out of you know I remember one of the first times I've ever even performed I was you know a child or something I think I was a child I was just a small adult that was just lying about how old he was but I was a you know just a middle-aged child or something I don't know probably about nine and if we were bad which we were my mother would make us perform do a performance so we could come downstairs and watch rescue 911 on television because that was my show man that was
Starting point is 00:15:43 my thing that was my jam I love to call 911 and some of you guys know that about me and some of you don't I'll call them matches I'll text them you know I texted them from the Poirier Holloway fight I said they got some damn ruffians out here beating the shit out of each other you know and they said where are you I said I'm at the UFC whatever it was 214 baby where you guys do gang shit bring the fire department but you can text 911 now but when I was young I would call them I'd call them for anything you know I call them if we didn't if we couldn't pay the bills I call hey yep same too many Paris police and fire I may help you
Starting point is 00:16:31 is this an emergency yep we can't pay the water mom can't pay it so she you know she told her boss often she got fired so I'm sorry I'm you I'm gonna have to keep the line free for actual emergencies but at least I'll let them know something we got to let the city know what you're thinking you got to at least let them know what you're dealing with you know but um but anyway I remember you know that we my mom would make us we had she didn't make us but we would come down and perform you know we would put paint or something on our bodies or put a sheet on top of us and write shine on it maybe and do you know get in a like a
Starting point is 00:17:17 line and put a couple sheet on us and make a dragon we come down and you know you know my brother would beat a little uh you know we'd have him beat a what is it called uh he would beat like a tambourine with a spoon or you know we had a we had a this man my mom dated used to do fake accidents to get money and so we had to remember like a metal neck brace that he left over one time and so sometimes my brother would put that on and get thimbles like you know metal little thimbles from sewers sewers kids and he would put them on his fingers and so we'd all come down and he would play kind of Chinese music on his
Starting point is 00:18:05 you know just you know playing that that metal neck brace and uh and the rest of us would just be in a damn sheet we'd written shine on the side of it and cut a couple eye holes out the front and wrote dragon on the front and we would do a show put on a show for mom and if she liked the show well enough then we were allowed to sit there by the television and watch rescue 911 or so you know a couple other programs unsolved mysteries rescue 911 America's most wanted I mean we like to watch shit that was very fear-based and we would sit do we were kept me we would sit literally two inches from the television screen I
Starting point is 00:18:56 mean our television was it was as big as two iPhone 9's I mean that bitch was a big as two off like a double-wide iPhone 9 and we would sit there two inches from it and just let it all just let the devil just go straight into our eyes and that was you know that was but that was some of the first times we perform that I would perform I remember as a child was coming down and doing that and performing for mom so that we could watch rescue 911 and here I am you know 30 years later still performing for television in a weird way you know in kind of a backhanded way but you know still performing to to be a part of the
Starting point is 00:19:55 show so I could see the show whatever I don't know about that part but what else man but anyway but anyway yeah sorry I was telling you so I would when I think back to like if I can't go then I'll I'll go somewhere in my head you know I'll take a you know I'll think back to those times and something so other things that I think about from that time I think about the carpet you know well how did it feel how did the carpet feel because we're barefoot you know it was nighttime we're barefoot inside you know and and so I think about think about how it felt to my feet and then I remember the carpet you know the color
Starting point is 00:20:31 of it was kind of coffee with milk color in it and and so I think about that I think about the smell what the smell would be like well when we went to mom's room to perform they she had usually just gotten out of the shower you know and she was she wasn't nude anymore we didn't do anything like that you had to go down the street for some of that shit family nudity kind of shit but but you could smell up you know you could smell the shampoo in the room you could smell a salon selects and mom had salon selects man and it oh oh my god I do not know if you remember salon selects it was um it was about the most high class
Starting point is 00:21:29 shampoo you could get I mean it had I don't even know what it was made out of it just seemed like they'd taken a couple beautiful women and cream you know and just put you know creamated them or whatever and just put them right into the damn bottle and then they put two scoops of freaking California in there and maybe half a scoop of hibiscus in there you know and then they just they would trim an angel's wings right into that bitch heated up to about 240 and then let it simmer and then bottle it and your mom had it mom got salon selects we would wash our hair with a soap you know we will wash our hair with a soap or
Starting point is 00:22:15 sometimes we would put a soap bar in a sock and you would rub that on your head so as not to lose all the soap you that way you weren't you know the soap would stay in that sock you weren't minimized because otherwise you give us a bar of soap somebody you know we'd use it all in one bathing we'd bathe for two and a half hours we use somebody you know hide it in their ass or something just you know children being children but when mom when when and so what mom did with mom put it in a sock and we would just scrub it on her head so the soap still came out of it but you just weren't wearing that bar down and I remember some of my
Starting point is 00:22:55 go over to a rich kids house and they would have a little bit of Irish spring over there and shout out to Ireland man and shout out to you know shout out to Ireland and in the UK and all of our good people over there you know shout out to Jack shore who won his MMA fight man young legend right there and hell I hope they open the borders soon man because I think half of us want to come back to England brother I'll tell you that put me on a boat baby I'm joking man I'm happy to be here but some days there's something you know I live out I live in California it's just a little bit more I don't know too many know-it-alls out
Starting point is 00:23:43 here but anyway mom had the salon selects that's what I'm telling you mom had that salon selects and if you sometimes I would say oh mom I'm out of shampoo I'd run into her room and I'd reach my hand in the shower mom would be in her shower and I wish if I was lucky boy she'd put a little salon selects in there and the problem was my body heat would start to kind of make it thinner you know your body heat like you can only hide jello in your hand for about 40 minutes before you just got a little handful of something and you have to tell you have to you know tell people hey this used to be jello they don't believe you and
Starting point is 00:24:28 that's what it was like so I'd have to run all the way back upstairs get back in the shower and put it into my hair before it all kind of dissipated or snuck out the you know the little cracks in my fingers but damn I love that man you know and I love when mama give me some some of that salon selects and I remember God I remember that boy and sometimes I wash my hair with it and sometimes I honestly brought wash my damn body with it and sometimes honestly honestly double honestly I'd frickin lick a little bit of it right out of my damn hand brah God damn forgive me but God just to just taste in that damn hibiscus
Starting point is 00:25:16 brother we didn't have hibiscus by us so to just get a damn hit of it out of that bottle but I remember that was another thing I remember when I go into mom's room you could smell that because she had just showered recently you know and so she you could smell it in the air but anyway little things like that just bring me you know when I think of the when somebody's like hey do you remember I tried to think of okay well what was something that I felt at the time okay I felt the carpet I remember that I remember you know how my body felt when I was young it just it I was I wasn't aware of it now I'm so aware of my body
Starting point is 00:25:57 I'm you know I got to move and I got to think about what I'm doing and you know well I got a reach for something it's all but when I was young it everything was just it was just it went from an idea or a thought in my head to an action there was no delay there was no age in the gumming up the works you know there was no door owl smoke between my brain and my activity you know it was just immediate just just chickadees on the table baby but yes that's what I try to think of sometimes when I'm thinking about stories and I think I think of okay what did I see what did I smell you know what did I feel what did I what was the taste
Starting point is 00:26:44 of something was there anything you know was there you know just I try and go through my senses and just and that helps me add some my some memory sometimes I think all of our memory everything we've ever done is inside of us sometimes I think that but you have to get some you have to there needs to be a key to unlock it like a personal talk to you or remind you of something or or you know different stuff like that today's episode is brought to you by policy genius I've got to let you know that there's never a bad time to save money and that really is true and it's really never more true than it is right now you know

Starting point is 00:29:51 guy neighbor he's walking his dog his dog the German Shepherd very narrow faith you know they have features then I looked at the guy and I'm like wow he's starting to look just like that German Shepherd in the face narrow kinda they were going up a hill head pointed forward face forward everything going up the hill and then I thought yeah people I guess maybe creatures do that we start to turn into the things and start to look like the things we look at or the or the beings we look at amen brother thank you Larry for that man you're right I think you're definitely right about I mean who I don't know if you're
Starting point is 00:30:40 right or not but you I mean you saw what you saw you know it's like you're reporting a damn UFO you're reporting obviously a lean you know guy who's Italian or maybe Judeo Italian going uphill with a German Shepherd you know you saw what you saw but yeah I think we start to reflect what we focus on man it could be a dog it could be a you know if you listen to Takashi six nine all day and watch all of his videos which are awesome okay I'll say that but if you do it all day every day next thing you know you're gonna get a couple skittles embedded into your cheek you know you're gonna braid your hair you know you're
Starting point is 00:31:21 gonna frickin be out of work you're gonna be you know you're gonna be hiding in a in a townhouse out there and you know somewhere probably you know Toledo or Boise but it's like yeah you're gonna become whatever you focus on but people do that with animals for sure you'll see us you know you'll see a shit a lady with a shih tzu named Sharon and then people start saying oh that's Sharon shih tzu Sharon and both of them they got you know matching little side ponies and you know they're both eating out of a bowl or something by the back door of her house it's just bizarre stuff you see a lot of that you know you see a lot
Starting point is 00:32:06 of Megan you know you'll see a lady named Megan with a Maltese and then we're like oh that's Maltese Megan you know and you throw a frisbee and Megan runs and you know tries to catch that bitch and gets hit by a Ford Fiat bruh and you like you know but yeah people start to in business become what they the animals they have you see it with riffraff even you know riffraff who's that rare element he's the you know he's the Bermuda Triangle of humans of humans and he's got a couple Huskies and he starts to you know he starts to mimic them and sound like them and move like them you know you'll see him on all
Starting point is 00:32:51 fours pissing on a hydrant over there down there near Deer Park Florida but I'm just saying yeah whatever we spend time with you see that a lot especially the dog human element that combo package you know somebody gets a you know your buddy Bernard gets a damn Burmese Python and next thing you know Bernard you'll catch him one afternoon laying on the street you know with no shirt on putting his stomach on the on the concrete to stay warm so there's a lot of that type of shit but gang Larry thanks for recognizing that and thanks for the call man appreciate it and you know just take care of yourself brother all
Starting point is 00:33:37 right you'd be good man onward all right let's take another call right here here we go APO this is Sam and Nashville Tennessee here what's up Sam or Samuel and Sam is often a short name for Samuel or Yosemite Sam if you're a drawing you know onward I wanted to ask you about performing in 2020 I played drums for a living here in Nashville or I did the city got hit by a tornado back in March okay you could have played in our Chinese dragon retribution performance that we did for mom onward sorry I wasn't even listening right there because I started thinking about that and anyway I'll back up did
Starting point is 00:34:25 he got hit by a tornado back in March which took out some of the venues and then shortly after that the Corvette took over which as you know canceled all the tours and a lot of the gigs in town too a bunch of us musicians here are talking about organizing a protest to open up some of these venues so we can get back to doing what made Nashville famous and make some music which we're currently not allowed to do I know there's a lot of folks out there that don't want us to do that and I don't want anyone to get sick but I guess I'd say stay home if you're worried about it not trying to be insensitive but
Starting point is 00:35:01 really it shouldn't go back to work make some music and pay some of these bills I want to hear your input since you're a performer and you're feeling a struggle to do I know that the virus is real and all that just you know especially for people up and coming it's it's you know we got bills yeah brother I feel that man thank you for the call and yeah that's a lot y'all got a lot on the table especially if you're up and coming if you're trying to do or you were building momentum and then all this momentum you know just really slow do a grind you know one thing I'll think about that is at least all everybody's
Starting point is 00:35:39 momentum slowed to a grind so it's even I think a lot of times it feels like it's just us you know or just you or just your band or and I'm not saying you're saying that I'm just saying sometimes it lands on us that way but you know there's it's interesting that it's everyone because we're not used that's the element that we're not used to is that everyone had to stop but I feel you sometime I feel you you know my mom said look if I'm gonna die I'm gonna die you know she's ready to get out there she you know she she'll fist fight the devil you know she's ready to she wants to live what what life she has
Starting point is 00:36:24 remaining a lot of people do large venues are tough because a lot of them they don't want to open up because it wouldn't even the cost of to rent the space and everything it's not even cost effective to have a show at it but if you have to have people spaced out so far yeah I feel you could you just have a show where it's like hey if you want to come this is just listen at your own risk why can't that be a thing you know just listen at your own risk that's it you know how it you know just like at the pool they say oh boy you know if you have a baloney or something you know you have a little baloney sandwich you have
Starting point is 00:37:16 maybe you know half a dozen tootsie rolls or something in a bark soda and they say don't swim don't swim but you know Daniel bro he don't give a damn dude Daniel will do he Daniel fill his mouth with freaking you know you know he'll put two he'll put three B Franks in his mouth and jump straight in the deep end dude he'll plan his funeral in the morning and then die in the afternoon bro you know that's how he is he's risky like that he'll eat and swim at the same time with and you know and he's never taken a lesson he don't care that's who he is so it just they should have an option I feel like for people that want
Starting point is 00:38:04 to be Daniel and then it's you know I think then it's like we get to see you know we'll see what happens but I personally I'd rather die over there at a damn Billy Eilish show than I would just hunkered down watching 48 you know the first 48 again it's like how do you want to die you know you want to die at that you know the Louisiana children's performance of the Chinese dragon or do you want to die sitting at home watching you know Clarissa explains it all or something reruns so yeah I'm ready you know I was just looking yesterday talking to the agents about getting a tent and maybe doing shows like that
Starting point is 00:39:04 maybe this old you know maybe they'll just be smaller shows and there'll be more traveling type of shows coming up and it'll all take on a new way that we embrace it you know I don't know I don't know man I wish I had some solace for you but I feel you you know I'm just itching to be the biggest thing I'm itching I mentioned and not forget what it was like before this because the more and more this we live this that's what starts to happen you forget how not comfortable but just you forget what was going on before and you kind of become okay with this now and people say well that's you know where there's risks to
Starting point is 00:39:57 that that's you know people could die but then here's the thing those people are choosing to go die you know some I think that's the core of a lot of it too some people have a different view of life you know and I'm sure this differs if you have children or if you don't but some people they say you know they had that mayor in Las Vegas and she's like well let's open up and see you know I thought that was pretty ballsy of her and of course you can have people say what do you tell you but some you know there's some people think when they die they you know there's
Starting point is 00:40:45 another option they you know it's not all about just this moment you know there's that other there's a deeper coil that we're attached to and so there's you know there's there's another existence there's reincarnation there's you know maybe you come back as a dragon with China written on the side of you there's something maybe you come back as a damn you know as a French option over there at chickadees brah but you know like some people believe that so they live life differently life's different when you have this idea in your head that there's there's other dimensions there's other levels you go well you know you look at
Starting point is 00:41:33 Super Mario differently and shout out to my boy bacon arts who made this right here and this is Super Mario looking like a bacon but but then there's some people who you know this is it this is it and so they're so caught they you know they don't have that extra that those next levels that they have in their psyche and so they think it's all right here right now this is it but so then of course those types of people are gonna have different views on what's going on and how we react to it in nature but and then there's Brennan Shob who almost single-handedly took out the entire podcast universe so you know
Starting point is 00:42:20 there's just different types of folks just joking man but keep but not joking get it let's take another call man here we go Theo Von this is Lauren from Boston and I am calling because I love and like you all right Lauren appreciate the good word thank you for calling onward I saw you at the Wilbur theater last March in Boston my friend Kevin took me for my birthday we had super good seats right up front you were so funny you even at the beginning seemed a little bit nervous and then you crushed it your openers were awesome we had neither of us had ever heard of them and they were
Starting point is 00:43:04 they were awesome to be introduced to but I'm calling because I am from New Hampshire originally and shout out Hamp shout out in Hamp baby live free or die son you know that that's their motto and maybe that would be a good place to have those types of concerts brother who called in a minute ago you know out there in New Hampshire where you know they got Dunkin Donuts they got a cemetery right there you go to the show you know you hit the urgent care after and then boom you're in a cemetery or if it doesn't work out otherwise you live in free gang man onward that that rural outskirt where you know before Trump's
Starting point is 00:43:52 America was a thing it was Trump's America Confederate flag up North trucks with with kits people say yes spelled why you T yeah yeah and a lot of those folks you know became Trump voters and I'm down here in Boston I went to college here and I stayed here and it's hard to explain to people the nuance you know the I'm a feminist I'm progressive in many ways and I still have love and respect for the people I grew up with and I feel like a lot of that is being washed away on both sides and there are little places where it still lives and you help remind people of that that you can be many different
Starting point is 00:44:35 kinds of a person and love then many different kinds of people and I just appreciate it well man this audio is Jackie today um thank you for the call young lady and I think it's nice that your boy Kevin took you out there to see the show and that's a real you know when you get out there to see the show that's really I mean man it's fun I feel like you know I've said before a lot of times I want to be on the I want to be sitting in the audience I don't want to be up there on the stage I want to be out in the audience and just and be able to enjoy the show you know and I do enjoy it but it's just a different type of of
Starting point is 00:45:13 thing yeah you know you know there's a lot of look there's a lot of people in America that that are gonna vote for Donald Trump you know there's a lot of people that like him you know certainly in the places that I grew up and there's people that are in my family that that love him you know there's people that don't there's people that don't love him but that will vote for him there's people that that that will vote for Biden if he runs there will there you know there's there's all types but I do think it it is interesting how you know I don't I'll never turn my back on any of those types of people I don't care I don't think
Starting point is 00:46:05 anyone should tell you who to vote for I really really don't I think that's your thing and it gets to me how I see how people where I'm from or people I see how people that love Donald Trump love him I see how they support him and I don't know I mean I think there's some people that love him but I think there's some people that just vote for him but I see why I certainly see why when it comes to being poor and white because nobody everywhere else everybody else looks at you the media makes funny all the time the only people you can make fun of still are poor white people you know on any television shows it seems
Starting point is 00:46:55 like you know if you're from a poor white place they they immediately say you're racist they say you're dumb you know they look over us and yeah the but if you're poor in any other color or if you're impoverished from an impoverished place in your black or Latino or Muslim or something then you're oh it's your oh had it such a tough time you had a tough upbringing you know oh and and I'm not saying you didn't but let's I'm just saying you have to be it's got to be a fair fair thing I don't know I don't know but yeah I don't if you I don't care who you vote for I hope you vote for somebody that that you like I really do
Starting point is 00:47:57 and I don't care what side of the track that they're on I really don't you know I voted for candidates on both sides and which I don't even know if you can legally do that but anyway I didn't mean to just kind of ramble on a lot of that stuff but uh but yeah you know it's it hurts me it hurts me a lot of times when I hear people say certain things because they just assume you know they assume that people run from a racist but you know many times we spent building habitat for humanity houses going to help with those for poor black families in our area and we didn't have a house you know I was on the same bus as those
Starting point is 00:48:41 kids you know but what do you know you just you know you can't harbor on the stuff you just try and do your best and you know but I I've seen a lot of great stuff from a lot of the areas that other people these days and a lot of other people it's just the media it seems like definitely seems to look down on except for when they want to sell you something boy they'll take your money so that's what people start to do is just be careful where they put their money you know because perspective is some people their perspective is just one thing so it's like you can't get angry at a fish for being in water man you can't
Starting point is 00:49:36 get you just you can but is it really just that justifiable if all the fish knows is water and you over here telling them about air he don't know about air you know and I'm pretty you know fortunate I've been able to you know I've been I've been fortunate to you know kind of just spend time right on the beach you know in the air and in the water and and and both are awesome man gang bro but anyway I didn't mean to rob a rattle off that's a lot of political shit man I shouldn't you know something I don't like talking about a lot of that kind of stuff but but we got too much stuff to divide us these days and they
