He and I thought it was actually his brother that
the one that doesn't play was the one who was
six seven and talked about because he's a rapper too
and was talking about this. And so then there was
some kid on a AAU team that was actually six
seven that blew up on social media. I read an
(02:45):
article about this like three months ago. But it literally
means nothing. It has no real value other than whatever
you want to attach to it. And so that's why
it's become a cultural phenomenon as people are just they're
just jumping on a thing because it appeared in a
rap song.

giant pickles and one was thirty five cents and the
lady who worked that thing. She had the parking lot
attendants sitting by her, and we asked her and just
very innocuously how much for the pickle? And I did
(03:35):
not hear what she said, and she said again. I
was like, I'm sorry, And then the parking lot at
it goes thirty five, and then we all started saying
thirty five. I swear to god this happened because we're
seventeen or whatever, and I'm not joshing you. By the
end of the year, the whole school is going thirty five.
