is Days until Harvest Peanut No Warfrom Grape Ink. This is the twenty
twenty one vintage. Really cool bottle. If you were able to see the
label, very colorful, very interestingsymbol that I'd love to know what y'all
think it looks like. I'll probablypost it. Actually I may have already,
but if I haven't, I willpost it for sure. Growing out
(00:56):
of the two A lattin Hills Ava, I mean William Valley here in Portland,
Oregon or the Oregon region. Eighteenmonths this last aging. It's natural
fermented, so it's natural, unfiltered, unfined, really really great pain in
the war. I'm dabbling in naturalwines, as some of you may know.
(01:17):
Obviously I don't work for a companythat does completely natural wines. However
I do dabble for sure. Onthe nose, I'm definitely getting what we
like to call in the wine industryforest floor, which just I think it's
a fancy way of saying earthy,a little bit of jam, definitely some
cherry on the nose. Absolutely cherryon the palette, a little bit of
(01:38):
pepper on the palette, a littlebit of floral on the palette. Really
really good. I really enjoyed it. I had this at Dame the restaurant,
and then they have a wine shop, a small little entity right next
door. So after I had this, I was like, I want some
more of it. I hopefully Ican find and then realize that they had
it at the wine shop. SoI got a couple of bottles of it.
What's it really taste like? Though, I'll be honest, what's it
(02:01):
really tastes like? How many ofy'all remember the Bakers Square in West Rogers
Park on Western and two week Iwas just having this conversation with my friend
Sam. She remembers it. Iknow some of y'all others will remember it
as well. But it tastes likea slice of cherry pie from that Baker
(02:21):
Square specifically. Now, I can'tspeak to the food at Baker Square.
I can't speak to it positively.That's necesterially, so I will avoid that.
But the pie, the pie wasfine, and so I'm gonna say
this tastes like a beautiful, hot, nice piece of Pie from the Baker
Square on West Rogers Park Western andtwo week This is another episode of a

clear, concise, great show,as I always do. But before
we get into the episode, there'sthree things that I'd like for you to
(04:14):
do that you joined me in thatI think will make the podcast and your
experience that much better. Number One, the show is called grab a glass.
That's an action I wish that youwould do that. Grab some sort
of vessel and enjoy some sort ofdrink. Doesn't have to be liquor if
that's not your vibe, totally understand, but something that will keep you present.
You could sip on it as wespeak and interact and as you DM
(04:34):
me or texting me as you listen. I appreciate when you guys do that
live. It's like the best shitever. I'm like, they ain't heard
this part yet, just wait.Number Two, this is a smoke cannabis
friendly podcast. It opens your mindor it relaxes you or get you up
whatever what however you like to getdown with it. By all means,
(04:55):
you know I'm a proponent of it. Please enjoy. And number three is
very very important, very important.Make sure you're hydrating. It's hot out,
no matter where you're living at,no matter where you're staying at,
its hot. So that water isjust gonna keep you going, especially if
you're going to participate in the othertwo. It it just makes it all
worth And I'm telling you now,I got some bills to pay. We
(05:17):
run ads on this show. Now, yeah, we do that. Sometimes
they don't run. I understand thatsome of y'all be like, oh,
you went into the breaking the addidn't run. That's okay, that's okay.
You're gonna hear one at some pointand we'll be back. I was
at a work dinner the other week. Actually, I was at work dinner.
It's all this week, super longweek. We had a massive event,
(05:40):
company wide event hosted here in Oregon. So I was at wine events,
wine dinners, all sorts of shitall week. But this is actually
a story from a few weeks ago. I was at a dinner with an
influencer that we're working with, aswell as a bunch of my fellow co
workers and colleagues. It was awork event in the sense that it was
(06:03):
people who worked together, but itwas super laid back, super chill,
and we had a lot of greatfood. We were sharing wine. We
somehow a conversation sparked about something thatI was able to give my opinion on
about an experience that i'd had,and I was honest. I was truthful,
(06:29):
as I strive to be one hundredpercent of the time. And I
think after I said that, andonce we had all gotten in our cars,
of course safely, after enjoying somewine, and got home, I
think maybe that night and into themorning, excuse me, I felt like
(06:50):
I had, while being truthful,may have come off as I want to
be. I want to be fairto myself here, I'll say it ungrateful
for the opportunity that I was discussing. That I may come off I may
(07:12):
have been coming off as complaining.And I don't think pompous is the word.
That's the word that keeps popping intomy head. But I don't think
it was quite that bad. Butit was like this air of like maybe
not thankful for the thing that Iwas speaking on, and I know I'm
not telling you exactly what it is, but imagine you're talking about something that
(07:34):
is an opportunity, but it's difficult, and I was trying to outline the
difficulties, and for some reason,I just felt like later on I wasn't
articulating my point as clearly as i'dlike, because I absolutely, one hundred
and ten percent, always, always, always, I want to be truthful
(07:55):
without ever coming off like I don'tunderstand that I'm incredibly privileged, that I'm
absolutely graciously thankful for the opportunities thatI have, and then I'm unfortunate.
I've been very fortunate to take advantageof those opportunities, and while of course
(08:16):
there's hardships. Of course, there'sgood days, bad days, shitty days,
long hours, long nights. Iwant to be sure that even when
I speak about those that I representthis air of I'm still really grateful for
(08:37):
where I'm at and what I haveand how I've gotten here. And as
I try to be self reflective,always, always, always, I wanted
to share that with you all becauseI want y'all to be conscious of that,
because I think that's an easy roadto go down, especially if you're
around and not that other people weredoing this, but especially if in a
situation you're around other people who werecomplaining or airing grievances or having a session
(09:05):
of maybe even pity, I don'tknow. I want everybody who listens to
grab a glass to be present andcan acknowledge all that and still be able
to talk about what they're grateful for. I personally want to be truthful without
ever coming off like I'm not absolutely, incredibly and graciously thankful for all the
(09:28):
shit that's good for me something tobe mindful of. Now, I have
another message for you this week.That last one was positive, that last
one was super positive. Y'all gonnaget this podcast, But this one,
(09:50):
I gotta let me. Let mepop my ship right quick, gold On,
let me fix the microphone and shit, ain't gonn Now I gotta pop
my shit a little bit because Iwas on the phone with one of my
homies. I'm not gonna say hisname. You know who you are,
bro, love you. We'll havea conversation about a situation in which there's
(10:16):
somebody just baiting him, testing him. Their behavior around him and toward him
is just mad funky, and forno reason, he hasn't provoked them.
It's been nothing but love and respect, and this person just being a little
(10:39):
bit too cocky and jokey and outof line. And my I won't even
say advice. My perspective that Ishared with him based on what he had
told me, was the fact thatthis person seems to be a miserable fuck
(11:03):
a stank ass attitude ass goofball,and he shouldn't take debit. You ain't
a fish, my nigga, youain't a soundman or whatever it is.
Don't take debit because this person isclearly miserable, unhappy, gross self conscious,
(11:26):
all types of shit, and foryou to get out of your character
to address them in the same mannerthat they're trying to fuck you on would
be out of your character. Itjust would It would just it would just
totally misrepresent who you are. Andvery much like the fact that I didn't
want in that situation, for peopleto walk away from that dinner table thinking
(11:48):
that I'm ungrateful for the thing thatI was speaking about, even though I
was articulating truthful experiences. I don'tever want my homie, who I know
has got a great heart in aamazing soul and lifts up every room that
he's in to lower himself to thelevel of some fucking troll and get out
(12:13):
his character, because then people won'tknow the difference between the two of those
people. And if one is highenergy, great energy, highly frequency person
and somebody's a low level bitch excusemy language, then you know, hey,
let that be. Now, letme let me add a caveat to
(12:37):
that. I'm not saying don't addressthem at all, because sometimes some shit
gotta get addressed. I actually amin the in my my um, in
my life, in a space ofwhere we don't even we don't even gotta
address this shit. If you juston some goofy fucking I don't even If
(13:01):
you want some other ship, thenI ain't with We don't even got to
address that ship. I'm just gonnalet you be on that goofy shit and
we don't even have to go there. However, there are moments where,
no matter what, we still gottaaddress it. I want you to address
it in a good way, ina positive way, in a truthful way.
I would really appreciate it if youdon't play with my name, because
(13:22):
there's no reason for you to dothat, because I'm nothing but good energy,
high energy, all love. Wheneverybody's around me, it's all beautiful.
Don't bring no funky fuck shit aroundme, and don't put my name
in that shiit respectfully. You getinto that name calling, you know,
insulting people's bodies, and you knowall that other shit. Now you on
(13:46):
some low level, low frequency shit. I ain't with that, and I
don't want none of my people wholistened to this to be with that.
I bring all of this up becauseI know my homie, like, why
are you talking about this right now? Because I had a situation this weekend
where somebody was passively passive, aggressively, I believe, trying to bait me
(14:13):
into some shit. People people knowyour triggers, especially if they know you
will they know your triggers, theyknow how they can try to get you
off your square for whatever reason.They miserable, they're jealous, whatever the
fuck it is. I had thesame The same situation happened to me my
(14:35):
boy and I had to decide whatI wanted to do, and in the
back of my head was the advicethat I had given, the perspective that
I had shared my desire for himto keep his frequency high. I had
thought of about three or four wayswhere I could just crush that person,
(15:01):
but that it popped into my head. I told Homie not to do this,
So why would I do this?And I didn't. I kept it
cute, I kept it fly.We just let that shit slide by,
roll off, go let have you. You got it, you got it.
(15:24):
And I think that that's the beautyof especially for men, I'll say
everybody, but especially for men,because we have we struggle with being vulnerable
to share those things, because thenwe can have those conversations and those can
be the reminders in the moments wherewe need to choose the high road or
letting somebody know in a very verymean way, you got me fucked up.
(15:48):
And I prefer everybody who listens tothis, let's all vibrate at a
high frequency and not let the bullshitgo off. Now, if you gotta
fucking let somebody know, do itin your character, in your way,
because sometimes we gotta let them know, Hey, yo, you you you
you're doing some double dutch on myname, and I ain't. I'm not
(16:11):
with it now. But in someof those other moments. Let it be.
They got it, bouquet blessings,a flashing only after the break.
Okay, on the bouquet of blessings, I got some flowers to give out.
I'm happy to give out these flowerstoday, twenty twenty three, I'm
giving out flowers. We give aflowers to a person, group or entity
for something the dopest fu we callthat bouquet blessings. Here on grab of
(16:33):
glasses back again this week, Iwant to give all the flowers that I
can to Greg Tucker, Greg TuckerSenior and their family. We lost little
Greg to some disgusting gun violence inChicago some years back, and they have
(17:03):
continued to keep his name alive inmy home city by doing the GTUCH Classic,
which is a basketball game that hasgrown from letting niggas like me,
out of shape ass, goofball assbiscuit head ass niggas like me run around
and play, to growing it tohaving multiple games at a fantastic venue with
(17:29):
all sorts of amazing ways to honorGreg with professional basketball player like current professional
basketball players playing in games on ourside of the city. So I want
to give flowers first and foremost ofthe family because I know that there's no
way that you could ever fill thatvoid or protect yourself from the trauma that
(17:51):
was felt in all of that.I actually heard a quote in the Steph
Curry Dock on Apple TV Plus wherethey were talking about just the polls of
life, and while some things areso horrifying that it's beyond understanding, it
(18:15):
also in that exact same way,and then the exact same moment can offer
a moment of celebration. And sowhile I know anytime there's even a thought
about Greg, it's sad, whatthese brothers have done it shoot for the
stars the G Tuck Classic to turnGreg's name and his legacy into something that
(18:36):
provides for the community in his memory. Fantastic, amazing. All the love
like wow flowers to everybody involved,but especially to Greg and his family,
Big Tuck, we love you.I also want to give out flowers really
quickly because it's important and timely forme to do so. To the homie
(19:00):
Alyssa a town, you know who, you know who you are. You're
holding it down for us on theplug tip. We appreciate you. It's
been incredible and I know it'll continueand it'll be reciprocated and so much much
love. Thank you. Okay.On the Flash It Only Flash It Only
is a segment of this podcast whereI put you on game to the music,
music and more music, and sometimesmiscellaneous parts of the coachure. I'm
(19:22):
enjoying at the moment. I've justchanged that all up. I did say
at the beginning of summer, Ihad books to talk about, and I
have books to talk about. I'mjust not ready to talk about him just
yet. Be clear, Offset andCardi B have a new single out called
Jealousy, very timely for the episodeI must I must add, Damn all
(19:45):
Set smoked his verse just, Imean absolutely just annihilated that shit. He's
been waiting to get that shit offhis chest. And I can't speak to
all the politics and the family bullshitthat goes on between who and Who,
but Damn, damn, damn,Damn and Cardie been smoking ship for the
last I don't know, since shebeen out. So the fact that these
(20:06):
two are married and are on atrack solo together and went at whoever they're
trying to go at and made thata thing. Now they're not taking my
advice about taking the high road necessarilyHowever, the music is fantastic in the
in the bars, and the artis great, so push playing on that
for sure. Travis Scott has anew album out maybe you heard about it,
(20:30):
called Utopia. I've read all thethink pieces. I've read all the
think pieces. I've read all theopinions. I've read everything, and I
am inclined to agree this does soundlike another album. However, I have
made a commitment to not compare peopleto people that are putting out art not
(20:51):
doing it. All I can sayis, yes, I believe that there
was an inspiration, but damn hetook the flag and ran with it because
some of the production on here isincredible. Oh my gosh, there's you
know, there's something that I prefernot to listen to again. However,
there is when the when there's alot of highs, and when they're high,
(21:12):
they are high. So we'll payhomage to the other artist of course.
However, I think Traviss is onhis way to somehow continuing to ascend,
and I think this is a greatalbum. For my throwback, I
chose something from twenty twenty, whichI know it was only three years ago,
(21:33):
but you know, in the grandscream of whatever time. It feels
like it was ten years ago TIfeaturing Young Thug. It's called Ring.
Maybe you heard it. I justlike the message in it. I'm not
gonna tweet. I'm not gonna typewhatever you say. Okay, all right,
you pick your fate. That's hey. I'm not gonna go back and
(21:53):
forth. I'm not going back andforth. We don't need to get out
of pocket. If you out ofpocket, you be out of pocket.
I'm not gonna get out of pocket. Whatever you pick your faith, however
that however that lady is, itlays. However it lands, it'll land,
It'll land. And that concludes anotherepisode of a podcast called Grab Glasses
(22:15):
About Yours Truly, David Thomas,better on this deep tisselst and make sure
when you say big Broccolini you realizeyou recognize this big Broccolini here, this
is this is big Broccolini. Okay, make sure you know that, and
(22:38):
make sure they know that. IfI haven't given you the green light to
say anything else, address me asthe the big Broccolini, the biggest,
the biggest Broccolini. I'm so glady'all joined me. I think that there
was amazing messages in this this podcast, I've been letting them fly, and
(23:00):
I think that I'm on fire rightnow. I'm on fire with the perspective,
on fire with the honesty. I'mon fire with the vulnerability. And
so I would ask you, I'mnot even gonna tell you where you can
see me. You know where youcan find me, you know where I'm
at. But I would ask youto share this podcast. Whatever your favorite
episode is, whatever you've enjoyed inthe last say month or two, share
that with somebody I don't know,Big Broccolini on the microphone, and he's
(23:22):
here, and he's available on socialmedia and the dms and the text to
talk because oftentimes of my best episodescome from conversations as this one did.

of maybe even pity, I don'tknow. I want everybody who listens to
grab a glass to be present andcan acknowledge all that and still be able
to talk about what they're grateful for. I personally want to be truthful without
ever coming off like I'm not absolutely, incredibly and graciously thankful for all the
(09:28):
shit that's good for me something tobe mindful of. Now, I have
another message for you this week.That last one was positive, that last
one was super positive. Y'all gonnaget this podcast, But this one,
(09:50):
I gotta let me. Let mepop my ship right quick, gold On,
let me fix the microphone and shit, ain't gonn Now I gotta pop
my shit a little bit because Iwas on the phone with one of my
homies. I'm not gonna say hisname. You know who you are,
bro, love you. We'll havea conversation about a situation in which there's
(10:16):
somebody just baiting him, testing him. Their behavior around him and toward him
is just mad funky, and forno reason, he hasn't provoked them.
It's been nothing but love and respect, and this person just being a little
(10:39):
bit too cocky and jokey and outof line. And my I won't even
say advice. My perspective that Ishared with him based on what he had
told me, was the fact thatthis person seems to be a miserable fuck
(11:03):
a stank ass attitude ass goofball,and he shouldn't take debit. You ain't
a fish, my nigga, youain't a soundman or whatever it is.
Don't take debit because this person isclearly miserable, unhappy, gross self conscious,
(11:26):
all types of shit, and foryou to get out of your character
to address them in the same mannerthat they're trying to fuck you on would
be out of your character. Itjust would It would just it would just
totally misrepresent who you are. Andvery much like the fact that I didn't
want in that situation, for peopleto walk away from that dinner table thinking
(11:48):
that I'm ungrateful for the thing thatI was speaking about, even though I
was articulating truthful experiences. I don'tever want my homie, who I know
has got a great heart in aamazing soul and lifts up every room that
he's in to lower himself to thelevel of some fucking troll and get out
(12:13):
his character, because then people won'tknow the difference between the two of those
people. And if one is highenergy, great energy, highly frequency person
and somebody's a low level bitch excusemy language, then you know, hey,
let that be. Now, letme let me add a caveat to
(12:37):
that. I'm not saying don't addressthem at all, because sometimes some shit
gotta get addressed. I actually amin the in my my um, in
my life, in a space ofwhere we don't even we don't even gotta
address this shit. If you juston some goofy fucking I don't even If
(13:01):
you want some other ship, thenI ain't with We don't even got to
address that ship. I'm just gonnalet you be on that goofy shit and
we don't even have to go there. However, there are moments where,
no matter what, we still gottaaddress it. I want you to address
it in a good way, ina positive way, in a truthful way.
I would really appreciate it if youdon't play with my name, because
(13:22):
there's no reason for you to dothat, because I'm nothing but good energy,
high energy, all love. Wheneverybody's around me, it's all beautiful.
Don't bring no funky fuck shit aroundme, and don't put my name
in that shiit respectfully. You getinto that name calling, you know,
insulting people's bodies, and you knowall that other shit. Now you on
(13:46):
some low level, low frequency shit. I ain't with that, and I
don't want none of my people wholistened to this to be with that.
I bring all of this up becauseI know my homie, like, why
are you talking about this right now? Because I had a situation this weekend
where somebody was passively passive, aggressively, I believe, trying to bait me
(14:13):
into some shit. People people knowyour triggers, especially if they know you
will they know your triggers, theyknow how they can try to get you
off your square for whatever reason.They miserable, they're jealous, whatever the
fuck it is. I had thesame The same situation happened to me my
(14:35):
boy and I had to decide whatI wanted to do, and in the
back of my head was the advicethat I had given, the perspective that
I had shared my desire for himto keep his frequency high. I had
thought of about three or four wayswhere I could just crush that person,
(15:01):
but that it popped into my head. I told Homie not to do this,
So why would I do this?And I didn't. I kept it
cute, I kept it fly.We just let that shit slide by,
roll off, go let have you. You got it, you got it.
(15:24):
And I think that that's the beautyof especially for men, I'll say
everybody, but especially for men,because we have we struggle with being vulnerable
to share those things, because thenwe can have those conversations and those can
be the reminders in the moments wherewe need to choose the high road or
letting somebody know in a very verymean way, you got me fucked up.
(15:48):
And I prefer everybody who listens tothis, let's all vibrate at a
high frequency and not let the bullshitgo off. Now, if you gotta
fucking let somebody know, do itin your character, in your way,
because sometimes we gotta let them know, Hey, yo, you you you
you're doing some double dutch on myname, and I ain't. I'm not
(16:11):
with it now. But in someof those other moments. Let it be.
They got it, bouquet blessings,a flashing only after the break.
Okay, on the bouquet of blessings, I got some flowers to give out.
I'm happy to give out these flowerstoday, twenty twenty three, I'm
giving out flowers. We give aflowers to a person, group or entity
for something the dopest fu we callthat bouquet blessings. Here on grab of
(16:33):
glasses back again this week, Iwant to give all the flowers that I
can to Greg Tucker, Greg TuckerSenior and their family. We lost little
Greg to some disgusting gun violence inChicago some years back, and they have
(17:03):
continued to keep his name alive inmy home city by doing the GTUCH Classic,
which is a basketball game that hasgrown from letting niggas like me,
out of shape ass, goofball assbiscuit head ass niggas like me run around
and play, to growing it tohaving multiple games at a fantastic venue with
(17:29):
all sorts of amazing ways to honorGreg with professional basketball player like current professional
basketball players playing in games on ourside of the city. So I want
to give flowers first and foremost ofthe family because I know that there's no
way that you could ever fill thatvoid or protect yourself from the trauma that
(17:51):
was felt in all of that.I actually heard a quote in the Steph
Curry Dock on Apple TV Plus wherethey were talking about just the polls of
life, and while some things areso horrifying that it's beyond understanding, it
(18:15):
also in that exact same way,and then the exact same moment can offer
a moment of celebration. And sowhile I know anytime there's even a thought
about Greg, it's sad, whatthese brothers have done it shoot for the
stars the G Tuck Classic to turnGreg's name and his legacy into something that
(18:36):
provides for the community in his memory. Fantastic, amazing. All the love
like wow flowers to everybody involved,but especially to Greg and his family,
Big Tuck, we love you.I also want to give out flowers really
quickly because it's important and timely forme to do so. To the homie
(19:00):
Alyssa a town, you know who, you know who you are. You're
holding it down for us on theplug tip. We appreciate you. It's
been incredible and I know it'll continueand it'll be reciprocated and so much much
love. Thank you. Okay.On the Flash It Only Flash It Only
is a segment of this podcast whereI put you on game to the music,
music and more music, and sometimesmiscellaneous parts of the coachure. I'm
(19:22):
enjoying at the moment. I've justchanged that all up. I did say
at the beginning of summer, Ihad books to talk about, and I
have books to talk about. I'mjust not ready to talk about him just
yet. Be clear, Offset andCardi B have a new single out called
Jealousy, very timely for the episodeI must I must add, Damn all
(19:45):
Set smoked his verse just, Imean absolutely just annihilated that shit. He's
been waiting to get that shit offhis chest. And I can't speak to
all the politics and the family bullshitthat goes on between who and Who,
but Damn, damn, damn,Damn and Cardie been smoking ship for the
last I don't know, since shebeen out. So the fact that these
(20:06):
two are married and are on atrack solo together and went at whoever they're
trying to go at and made thata thing. Now they're not taking my
advice about taking the high road necessarilyHowever, the music is fantastic in the
in the bars, and the artis great, so push playing on that
for sure. Travis Scott has anew album out maybe you heard about it,
(20:30):
called Utopia. I've read all thethink pieces. I've read all the
think pieces. I've read all theopinions. I've read everything, and I
am inclined to agree this does soundlike another album. However, I have
made a commitment to not compare peopleto people that are putting out art not
(20:51):
doing it. All I can sayis, yes, I believe that there
was an inspiration, but damn hetook the flag and ran with it because
some of the production on here isincredible. Oh my gosh, there's you
know, there's something that I prefernot to listen to again. However,
there is when the when there's alot of highs, and when they're high,
(21:12):
they are high. So we'll payhomage to the other artist of course.
However, I think Traviss is onhis way to somehow continuing to ascend,
and I think this is a greatalbum. For my throwback, I
chose something from twenty twenty, whichI know it was only three years ago,
(21:33):
but you know, in the grandscream of whatever time. It feels
like it was ten years ago TIfeaturing Young Thug. It's called Ring.
Maybe you heard it. I justlike the message in it. I'm not
gonna tweet. I'm not gonna typewhatever you say. Okay, all right,
you pick your fate. That's hey. I'm not gonna go back and
(21:53):
forth. I'm not going back andforth. We don't need to get out
of pocket. If you out ofpocket, you be out of pocket.
I'm not gonna get out of pocket. Whatever you pick your faith, however
that however that lady is, itlays. However it lands, it'll land,
It'll land. And that concludes anotherepisode of a podcast called Grab Glasses
(22:15):
About Yours Truly, David Thomas,better on this deep tisselst and make sure
when you say big Broccolini you realizeyou recognize this big Broccolini here, this
is this is big Broccolini. Okay, make sure you know that, and
(22:38):
make sure they know that. IfI haven't given you the green light to
say anything else, address me asthe the big Broccolini, the biggest,
the biggest Broccolini. I'm so glady'all joined me. I think that there
was amazing messages in this this podcast, I've been letting them fly, and
(23:00):
I think that I'm on fire rightnow. I'm on fire with the perspective,
on fire with the honesty. I'mon fire with the vulnerability. And
so I would ask you, I'mnot even gonna tell you where you can
see me. You know where youcan find me, you know where I'm
at. But I would ask youto share this podcast. Whatever your favorite
episode is, whatever you've enjoyed inthe last say month or two, share
that with somebody I don't know,Big Broccolini on the microphone, and he's
(23:22):
here, and he's available on socialmedia and the dms and the text to
talk because oftentimes of my best episodescome from conversations as this one did.
Thank you so much, y'all,and let me say this as I always
do, much love to the creators, no matter your flavor. MC God
forever be in our favorite cheers everybody, Love y'all, Thanks for listening.
