If you want this, If you want it, first of all, you already mad that lead little boy drove his little narrow ass somewhere that didn't have nothing to do with his then had

You could tell the judge like it. The judge is

like the defense attorney part two. Dog. It's so obvious and it's like, like you said one of the things self he brought up, which I'm like, yeah, he gonna get off or he goes, or you're gonna get like a really light Since the idea that they was already deciding on what to call the victims other than victims is disgusting. I'm like, what, like is we're in a simulation. This is a simular. This can't be it does. It does, in fact feel like a simulation. I was like, this

can't be like, are you you? This? Are we? What? Is there a camera in here? Like? This can't be real. Yeah, I mean, this is not really what we were here to talk about. But it were. But it's heated and like it's like the second I saw h the crying without tears ship, I was like, oh, bro, kick rocks. I was like, is this your king did not take

enough improv classes? My god? Yeah yeah. I immediately like as soon as I saw it, yeah, I immediately laughed because I'm like, let me just pretend like these are real tears. It's still funny. I don't know what it's still funny to me even if you really genuinely crying. I'm like, you weren't, like I said, like I said before we got on, you weren't crying when you were at the bar with the proud boys posting up the white supremacy symbol for the grand smiling drinking out. Where's

that legally? First of all, because you were a child, yes, no, no, I take that back. You're not a child. Yeah, you're being You're being you are an adult who made an adult decision and you ended up shooting three people and killing two of them. Facts, bring that energy? Where's that? No? No, I'm taking back murdering two of them. Yes, I still have my language perfectly. You are a murderer. Yeah, I don't know what the what the hell else to call

you're murder? This is that those were murders. I don't know. Yeah, nah, kick rocks like homie, you know what I'm saying, Kick rocks, bro, you know say, just look, look, listen, your mama pushed them on your books. You'll be all right. Just you're taking Just listen, go there, take your time. You ain't gonna get a lot, you know what I'm saying. That's how I know you're not built for this. You're all here pretending you're not built for this, Like you know what. Listen, now, okay,

we're finally getting into the show. But you know why, you know why I'm not outside like that, Why I'm not outside clapping in flamers, talking, talking crazy outside of my neighborhood because I'm not built for that, you know saying, I know I'm not. You feel me, I'm like, no, I will, I'll defend myself. I mean, if you come, if you're coming at me, that's different. But like you don't see me on the corner, you know what I'm saying,

Like you, But here's the thing. He own neighbor, he bluddy of viols and then like you ain't built for this. Somebody where was y'all? Oh geez, that was like you're not built for this, like gonna stay home, you know? But yeah, no, he looked whatever. So I'm like, so, I'm so, I'm like, so, I'm like you, what do you do? But politics the Holly Sophie, we're gonna talk basketball because, as you know, Laker days, she got her T shirt on. I got the back to back yes

T shirt on. Oh man, yes, this is so doube. It's a long time coming man, and y'all know where we're going with us as soon as we get into it. Okay, So, Sophie, Lakers or not not even just Lakers, let's just talk basketball i Q. Period. The question is always whether it was like uh Jordan's or any any Larry Bird, any team that had a superstar. The question was always like, can the superstar by themselves take a team to the championship or actually win a ring, and most of us

believe most of us, I'm I'm weighing the thing. But like it wasn't until Scotty Scottie Pippen got like got his legs up under them till they started like winning real rings. You know what I'm saying. The idea is like, you can't just have a point. You have to have the point and the post. You gotta have you gotta have a center in the game. You gotta have somebody else on the team to carry this. Do you do you hold to that? To that theory, it's it's a

team sport. But there definitely are caveats to that, is what I would say, Like, definitely a team sport. Definitely caveats to that, your honest being one of them in the last season, he did take that. I mean caveat caveats, lots of injuries, shorter season, less off time, But your honest did it. Rannest did do it. Can a team win if the point in the center are are in disagreement, if they can't figure out whose team it is, can a team win? Usually no, they cannot win. Usually I

gotta give that caveat. Though usually there are caveats, But I would say, yes, you It's it's remarkably difficult if if Magic and Kareem are not on the same page, if they don't understand whose team this is. You know what I'm saying. Uh, you know if you would like you pick pick any generation of basketball, you have to ask whose team this is? And there has to be an understanding. I think between the point in the post. So we're talking like Michael Scottie Shot Kobe type situations,

who is exactly what we're talking about? Whose team is this? And Scotty And it's funny seeing him being old and bitter now, like, man, this man really really really wants to sell his book, and like I get it, but also like shut up, Scotty, you sound so mean and better so me right now? Man, you think we don't look listen, it's cemented you. You're fighting over dry cement right now. Bro, it's the legacy is done. We all

love we all love you, We all you. You had a shoe, you carried this team as best as you can, got your you got your bag from the Trailblazers, you got your bag, you got your rings. I don't understand what we're fighting over. This was Jordan's team. I don't what are you? I don't understand what we're talking about. Yeah, I mean so like back to Shaq, Kobe, back to Michael and Scotty, I have the same I have the same stance on those two, even though completely different situations. Yes,

Scotty and Shaq both did the same motherfucking ship. That makes me think to my core and nobody can argue with me. Michael, Steve, Kobe, Steam, they both did the same thing. You know what I'm talking about? I think I do. So it's the company time ship is what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the I got injured and instead of rehabbing during the summer, getting my getting my ship together so that I'm there for my team when it matters, I'm gonna enjoy my summer and I'm

gonna get fixed my injury. Shack quote. I got injured on company time, so I'm gonna I'm gonna do my rehab on company time. And so you weren't there for your guys. You wasn't in the gym. He wasn't in the gym exactly. My argument is the same in this sense. My thing is like, Okay, you know whose team this is when one of y'all leave, Like who's replaceable? That's

the question to me. And I'm like, Kobe went on to win a bunch more rings after Shock left, But for a long time there was a question whose team is this? Now? I feel like if you was on the ground, like you and me in the city, that wasn't a question. No, No, really wasn't. And I mean like that goes back to like to like work work ethic and everything and like and like yeah, they're like, well, Kobe, you would have benefited from going to more of those

team dinners whatever. It's like yeah, but he was in the gym. Where were you? Facts, We're where were you? Where were you? Yes? So I'm like what what So I'm like what what what? What? So? I'm like what what what? What? So? I'm like what are you doing? Yeah? But like you ask any like real l a person, anybody who who who not even anybody who's like an actual like Hooper person, Like it's you know, it's Kobe's team. And until until everyone got that, when poll came, he

got he understood. Man, everybody else. I love Parakasol and you know what, Powakasol still still still a teammate man, like I'm so impressed with I'm so impressed with and being there for Vanessa and the girls, like Parkasol, good dude, teammate through and through and through. But but but knew his role whose team it was, and that's why they work so well together because he knew it was Kobe seems so we're back. We're back to this now. Now,

Why are we talking about this problem? Why are we talking about this is the best part of this convo. If you don't know whose team this is. If y'all, if y'all fighting over whose team it is, y'all gonna lose. You know what I'm saying, It's not it's not gonna work out now, y'all jockey in for a position. We're gonna figure at some point, we're gonna figure out who the prophet is. We're gonna know whose team it is eventually. But during that during that time, y'are fighting over y'all

take it else? Right, I would like to introduce you to the Modern Democratic Party. Oh man, we're supposed to have a big three right now, am I right? We're supposed to have the Big three. We're supposed to have the we're supposed to have, uh, the White House, Congress and Senate. We're supposed to have the Big Three. We're supposed to have the A, D, Lebron and Russ And we know that's not working right now. It ain't working

because whose team is it? Whose team is it? Y'all don't get it, man, y'all gonna keep taking these elves because you can't decide, Like I feel like it's a bat. It's the battle of the Joe's. It's literally the battle of the Joe's right now, and the battle of the jokes. Yeah, man, And I mean, if you don't know who we're talking about, we're talking about buying in the mansion, which is yes, and it's and what's crazy is like I just picture this this boy Joe mansion like being like, listen, I

got I got this fossil fuel money. I'm good down here, y'all gonna do what the hell I said you're gonna do. Picture him like holding and counting money. That's how I picture him, like a night instead of counting sheep peace, counting money, because like that that's who he is. He looking I'm telling you man, he looking at he looking at his investors, like, don't worry about it. He's like, I got this. Don't worry guys. This is my party, this is my team. Don't from the bench. That's what's crazy.

He doing it from the bench, Like how you control the team from the bitch, Like, oh man, it's so true, yo. And the reason we notice is the budget reconciliation thing. Right, so so we got we got, you know, and like the last couple of days and like right now is November tenth, just for just two thousand twenty one, just for reference for people coming back to it. I mean, it's like this Build Back Better bill does not look

like what it was proposed to be whatsoever. And a lot and and a lot of that is because of Joe Manchin Man. And it's like it's like, is this bill doesn't have me of the original things that that that that Biden promised it would have. Really I had a couple but like it's crazy because I thought to myself, Okay, so I'm thinking Joe moves much more kind of like mobster, kind of pimpish to where it's like I'm just gonna be nice, like but we're gonna, we're gonna, we're gonna

do what I want to do. He's like I'm in charge, but also like I'll let you have your moment. Yeah, Like I'm not gonna yell like I don't you know, I don't move like that. Like we're not yelling. You know what I'm saying. I'm not gonna be in here be a bully. I'm not a bull in the china shop. But but we're gonna do what I say we're gonna do. That's what That's the way I pictured Joe, right, but like like that's not it at all. That's not what's

happening at all. And I thought he was like my thought was what everybody else was was thinking, was that this progressive wing was going to pull him that way. No, he didn't get pulled to any type of way. He just back and watched. He just stepped back and let the thing. And I'm looking at I'm looking at what's happening, and I'm like, oh, this is it's Joe Manson's team. Yeah.

I mean, like even what happened in the last couple of days with them passing being like all right, the progressive being like all right, we'll pass your infrastructure bill, which is needed, and like definitely not as good as it should be. But like America, but America, let me say that one more time. But like I just I just like like I really want to take uh Cargoggs woman gypel and be like listen, like I know they there's a written a group whatever. Yeah, I'm not sure

it's gonna happen. No, no, And it's like when somebody, when you run into somebody that's like uh uh the type of the type of unreasonable that Joe Mansion is. You're put in this position to where you're like, Okay, do I match his unreasonable nous? Do? I? Like? I mean, like that's what I was expecting Joseph are Biden to do exactly. Can give his full name right here, like I was expecting him. But it just seems like he's sitting back. I mean, like back to basketball. This really

reminds me. All right, So Lakers got one win, right, they won, and then Shock shows up out training camp super out of shape. How are you going to win the next one? It kind of feels like we're in that out of shape training camp situation training camp. Yeah, and it's like, okay, it's ten seconds left, this fool Shock demand in the ball. You have to be like if you code, you're like, here's the thing, bro, I'm

not giving you the ball. It's not literally Joe Biden has to be like and like, listeners, I am not comparing Kobe Bryant to Joe Biden. Please don't please, are not coming my mentions. This is not happening. Uh, this will never happened. Uh. This is morally Uh. But I'm like, very fair, but like you have to do. You have to be like, this man is injured. He cannot play. Stand up. If you're a boss, be a boss and just be like, look, Homi, I don't care what the

funk you say. I don't care what bag you've got. This is not what we're doing. Be mad at me. You ain't the damn president. I am like, I don't where is that? Where is that? You know what I'm saying and like and in some senses I'm like, I'm I'm I'm looking at the progressive wing where I'm like where they're like, well, we can stay in our ground as much as we can. But if you already on this position to where I'm like, well, this ship's gotta happen, man,

we gotta do something. Then I see why they were like, all right, well, I guess is. But at the same time, it's like you just left the park. You just left, You just left the playground, that fool just throw your basketball, you know what I'm saying that you just go you just go go home. You literally let Joe managed take out the family paid leave that we all need in this country. Literally, let this one spoiled man, one by his damn self, take that out out of the build back,

which is can we just fell back? But I hate it. It's a horrible name. It's a terrible name. And I'm so sick of hearing about how it's a once in a lifetime investment. You you've taken out so many things that made it, made it, I mean no, but like you made it somewhat worthy of like a conversation, you know what. Yes, So, speaking of which, let's go over with so it went from three point five trill to one point seven five trill. So and again I'm I'm

I'm of the same like school of thought. That's like once numbers get so hi, they just don't feel real, you know what I mean. It's like a one quadrillion dollars I don't know. It doesn't seem real. All right, Yeah, what what is it? What is a trillion? You know what I'm saying until you start talking about where each of these dollars go. So at one point seven five trill,

what what we're getting. We're getting universal pre K, dope, expanded healthcare right uh, thirty five billy towards UM hearing benefits, which is dope. Uh. One year extension on the top childcare tax credit which is tiny, but it's dope. I came front when him checks come in mediocre but dope mediocre, but dope, him checks do be coming in, and I do, thank you very much. Uh five fifty BILLI on like um climate like tax incentives UM, which I understand, but

I think is a little bit trash. Not enough, not enough. Also, there's a lot of other tax incentives that if you like, why if I got to choose a tax incentive and I'm a earth killing corporation, I'm like, well, I can choose other tax incentives. I don't have to take this one. There's plenty other ones. UM hundred fifty billy uh to build one million affordable housing units, which all need to be in Los Angeles themselves, right, Uh man, yeah, right, you know what I'm saying. Um and a hundred billy

in like immigration reform, that's what we're getting. Yeah, but like, well we're not getting Yeah, well we're not getting in and like things that we're promised is like all right, So thank you Joe Manchin for taking out the paid family leave. Uh this was like obviously something we needed, very popular and polling, and uh this one man cried wolf and it's out. Uh the original thing had it had it at twelve weeks, then it was four weeks. Now it's not even then. There was the two years

free community college. I can't even express like like like how much that would do for people. It would have been it really and yeah, it would have been a game changer. It would have been a game changer. And I don't understand why it's so hard to wrap your brain around in the sense that like, well, you know, you get twelve years of free school. It makes literally no sense years don't It makes literally no sense. And you know, just the the amount of lives that would impact, yeah,

you know. And then and then uh, this ship pissed me off because this ship is so expensive and frustrating to begin with the dental and vision ship taking that auto medicare. Uh, I just like why like that like some of that, Like it's like I don't know, Like I wish I understood. I wish I could. We gotta get miles back in here to attract the dark money because I'm like, explain to me, why why why are you taking out the teeth man? Like what what do you?

What do you? What do you? Here's the thing, but you don't get this. Here's the thing. Last time I checked, my eyes and my mouth were part of my body and we're part of my health. So why is it I mean like money and uh, drug companies and shady people, but you know, like the dark money. But it's like really you it was like it was like an eight voucher too. Yeah, Like I mean, and even with insurance,

dental and vision ship is so unnecessarily expensive. Yeah yeah, I don't understand why those two are like carve outs from just medical insurance. Period. It's it still doesn't the concept still doesn't make sense. It's still part of your body except for the money. And then the part that blows my mind too is like if you big, if you big dental, I don't know. If the government pays for it, then you're getting your money. Yeah, why do you care where that checks coming from? Who do you

care is on the bottom of it? You know what, You still get your money? Does it clear? Does the check clear? Sophie, I mean, when the hell you're worried about who it comes from. You more a matter of fact, you more likely to get your money if it's government subsidized then from me, because because there are so many people that are like, nah, I can't, I can't, I ain't got it. I'm not doing it because you know I need that, I need that for for something else.

And it's terrible because people do need to get do need to do dental envision. Yeah, I mean it's horrible. Yeah. I wish, I wish, I really wish I understood. I wish I could track the logic for this one. Yeah, I don't understand. Bernie. Bernie really championed that one, and like and then and then I watched Bernie get played like a punk too. He laid like a punk even visually that man outside talking to the talking to the

to the to the to the press. Joe Manson run up put itself up under under his arm here like let's let's cop this picture, and Bernie not paying attention. It was like, okay, Pat Pat Pat, Pat Pat. I'm like, bro, he just played you so hard right now because you just got played so hard, like I have to stay. I'm standing back and looking at Joe Manson and I'm like, well, bravo, all right, you were well played, sir, because you just moved. You just proved to everybody whose team this is. He

just proved to everybody whose team this is. And and like showing where what what money is worth? What to you? What? Who? Who? Who matters to you? Who doesn't matter to you? And what pill you're willing to die on? And like low balling people? It really okay, So this is some very niche basketball here, but this really does remind me to the of of of this uh my boy, the ball Mamba Alex Cruiser situation right now, where where he wanted to stay with the team. He wanted to stay with

the team this is. He wanted to stay and the team would not fund what was deserved, right, I mean, like he and he was really really really willing and willing to negotiate here. Man, he was okay, so he was giving a low ball offer. He was like, uh no, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go see what my options are. He came back twice, was willing to take less money in the Lakers fun. I can't even like, yeah, CRUs could happen, but like that exact thing is what's happening here.

Why are you willing to fumble the bag on something as good as dental envision as paid family leave? Like why are you willing to put money into something that is not worth the money? Yeah? I don't get it. Yeah, that's I love. That's a great comparison to that. That trade was trade was crazy. It's deeply he was coming to the Yeah it's a deep cut, but he was

coming to the table. He was coming to the table, and he was willing to say he wanted to work with the team, to work with the team, just like you know, just like we have these progressives, like we have congress Woman AOC she wants she wants these things. She knows what and that's why they voted no, because they're like listen, man, like we're and then it's just like we got to see like fucking nance see Pelosi officiating that that that rich people. What It's like, what

are you? What's happening right now? And and and they're like, all right, it's gonna happen by the fifteenth, that's gonna happen by all we gotta vote to keep They have to vote to keep the government funded. If this ship happens like it always does and they go on holiday break and leave people without their bread. Yeah, it's just it's just very like you are supposed to be the Big three right now. Why are you not taking advantage of that and getting good ship for good Like come on, yeah,

it's yes, we all work. You look stupid. Where the stupid? You're a team of You're a team of all stars. The thing is, it's stacked for you. I don't understand this is like, this whole thing is stacked for you. Why are you losing and you're gonna keep because it's that that Lakers team with the Gary Payton and Karl Malone. Yeah, Yo, that's exactly what it is. That's exhaustly that was that was Those were the next words coming out of my mouth.

It's like your old heads that don't know how to work together, these old heads that are used to being stars and just don't know how to work together. Y'all gonna lose. You gonna lose. So I'm like, yo, whose team is this? Whose Steavens is? My theory is And you're saying this, saying until y'all figure out whose team that's really supposed to be, because we don't. Because look, look Joe and mentioned him Planet is flag. He's like, this is my team. You'll get wrong. Prove me wrong,

he said. He said, I have you moving for me, y'all moving for me, and and it sounds to me like he willing to take the l He's like, I'll take the team. I'll take I'll put the ring on the line. I'll take the team. I don't care. This is my squad. He said. Paid family leave. You don't need paid family leave. You don't need that, like your children literal gradin. I can't suck your children, don't get pregnant. There, that's what this fool said. Man got dog and you can't.

But you can't be on the other side of that, being like, come on, guys, but we're a team. Come on, let's do the right thing. I mean it also like I was watching uh MSNBC last night. I was watching Rachel Maddow and she was showing this stuff. How it's like in all these local papers they're applauding in like Louisiana, Florida, applauding that all this money is coming to their state because this infrastructure bill. Mind you, the Republicans are all

like pat, Pat Pat, They voted against it. So so it's like it just goes back to basketball again, where it's like, yeah, you won, but you didn't deserve to win. You wasn't post to win, You ain't really win. You got an asteris because this ain't really a win. You won, but you didn't. You didn't do your part due, and

you're still gonna be at that ribbon cutting ceremony. You're still gonna be there, you ring, I'm looking at I'm looking at I'm looking at the Democratic Party during that season when Cleveland and Golden State was playing in Yeah, and then Foods blew a three one lead. Yeah, I'm like you just you blew a three one lead in the in the finals. Y'all blew it? How you? Yeah?

And and and the JV squad did that too in the bubble, and the JV squad did it in the bubble, like yeah, y'all blew how you gonna blow this lead? Like y'all breathe, y'all breathing, like don't. And the one thing I will give them credit for is in this ass whoop. And they just got in these like in these uh pre pre mid terms. Uh. They wasn't running

around talking about like, oh yeah the Republicans cheated. No, they just took it on the chain, like yeah we yeah, I mean yeah, the amount of respect I would have lose, I mean, like I don't really have respect for the Democratic Party, but like even more. But like that's so that's so weak. Yeah, that's that's so corny. Yeah, yeah, had they I'm glad they took it on the chin. And I hope they listening, and I hope they say, Okay, listen, dog.

But if I'm Biden, I need to get control of my team because literally, how you are supposed to be. You are supposed to be the Michael Jordan's the you're supposed to be that guy you have you. We all came out and voted, and like, voting is not obviously not the answer to our problems, but it does have some type of benefit and help. And we all came out and got and we have the Democratic Party has control of Congress, Senate, and the White House. Where's my

r O I, where's my return on investment? So it's like voters when it comes to to to to Uh, the next section are going to be like, alright, so like we got you, but you didn't like where is it? Yes, we need to walk into that locker room. It's the end of the first half. We need to look at him and just be like, if you don't boss up, like, go out there and boss up, what the hell are you doing? You know what you know? Trade it off for you. We drafted your ass. Go boss up. I

just figured out who he's being. Okay, who is he being? Speaking Magic Jobson When he's like I don't want to play the fourth quarter's like he's like I don't want to play the fourth He's literally madgic Johnson being like being like all right, like I've got I got you here, all right, y'all figure it out, y'all figure it out. I don't want to play the FOURD at the corner. I'm just sitting out the fourth and uh, I gotta bring like Joe Biden, you're not and you can't do

that first first and number two. You can't sit out the damn fourth quarter, bro, Like you got the job, go do the job, like, just boss up? Even like I'm just like I understand how you move you feel like no, we gotta move these chess pieces. I understand, but like like where is your just boss up? Bro? Like what are you doing? Man? You are the president? God? Like, boss up? What is you doing? What did you doing? You let this man, this man running you right now?

You feel me like I just I can't think of any more comparisons to Like if this was my child, I would be looking at my son like, son, what the hell are you doing? What? What is what's happening right now? Are you scared? Are you scared of this little boy? Like I would be just like why you a son? You're in charge? I don't understand what you don't understand? You're in charge? You know? Do you? You got older siblings? I got an older sibling. Like if my sister was not scared of me, I'm a whole

foot bigger than her. But that's my big sister. She knows she in charge. Yeah. When we was kids, I mean I could talk, I could wolf all I want she would just be like, uh, huh okay, my brother. My brother is a is older and a photot up to me, but uh definitely uh Dr Lichtman, absolutely you like he's in charge. But it was like I was his sister, he was not my brother, Like did you do the hierarchy? We do exactly what. We knew whose team it was. We knew whose team it was. That's

my We knew whose team it was. And when you know what team it was that, I'll tell you what. Me and my sister. That's funny how we moved it over here. Me and my sister. We used to have like agreements about like hey, uh I won't tell on you about this, you won't tell on me about that, you feel me? And she would set it up. She was in charge. We all had chores and she would be like, listen, okay, look it, I'm gonna let you go. You can go play with your friends, this, this and this.

I just need you to make sure if you do if you do my if you do my dishes. I'm like and I'm like, all right, your team. I can't be like I'm not doing your dishes. She's like, okay, nope, I knew whose team it was? You set the rules, we all win. I didn't tell nobody you snuck out and took the cahar, but she had your back, she had my back. I ain't telling nobody you snuck out to take the car. You ain't telling nobody else. Knuck

out and wrote my name on the wall. My brother, my brother, uh foot taller than me, brilliant, like brilliant, like through and through, like basketball captain of the team.

I mean me too, but like whatever, but like he it was his team, right, but he also knew that I was on the team and he had to protect me, right, So it's like, you know, he brilliant foot taller than me, uh, come to the basketball team just like there, but like I was on his team, and so if somebody tried to mess with me, I was on his team, right.

We were. I remember we were at one of his friend's horses playing basketball and the friend, a little brother and a little brother's friend tried to try to mess with me during the game because I crossed him over and like sorry, Ethan, but like crossed and I crossed him and he tried to push me, and my brother scared the living ship out of him because he was like, he was like, first of all, uh, that's my sister, and someone's gonna pick on her, it's gonna be me.

And second of all, do not disrespect her like that because she's on my team. And and like Joe, I managine you should be on Joe Biden's team. Yeah, why are you not on the squad? I just don't because

he don't care. He's like either as my squad or is Nobody's like you can't work with somebody like that, especially somebody like that that got the power enough and and the guts inside of them, the balls inside of them to just to take it on the chain if it if it don't work out to be like I mean whatever, I'm cool, and then all of us lose,

Then we all lose. That's the problem. If you don't know, if somebody decides that they team and they're willing to tank the team, everybody loses, like Carmelo on the Knicks, Like carmelow. We can end it right there, that's perfect, Like yeah, you just you just well, I mean, I don't know what to tell you dog like this. Yes, so if you thank you so much for doing this, you need to be the featured guests on more pods rather than just like the background noise. Sometimes you need
