I'm telling you what, man. Hercules, Hercules, Darius and crew. And we will take you all the way through to the bottom where we will Zion will step in. We at Steve who I guess went on to brighter pastures, Dax in Calvert County. Thank you for being patient. What's on your mind? Still got Dax? Hey, you there, Dax? Jack's not there. Okay. Well, then I know that Charlie on College Park, he would never left leave the guard shack, not guarded. Charlie, how are you? I'm good, man. Can you hear me now? Loud and clear. I'm out here cooking in the weather, working on my roof. There's low humidity. Thank you, Lord. Now, I know you like it, but people pay attention to your directions and answer your questions when you put them out. So I'm not going waste any time. I like to tell you about the commanders when I'm done. If all expenses paid, now that luxury suites and this and that, my heart would be with the commanders in Tampa. That's my number one. Always be my number one, but number two, actually, if all expenses paid, I want to see Baltimore beat Casey. Where did they plan? The team was was was eliminated from it. So you would be in Chief's Kingdom. Uh huh. Well, that'll be your office to say the least. But how Baltimore gives a big battle, I think they will. I don't know anything about Baltimore than they picked up the running back and they're always tough on defense, but Casey's gonna come at you and they're playing at home. There's people are crazy out there as well. They should be. Yeah, well, because you've lost, you lost three nuggets on your defense, which was ferocious. Yeah. DC, you may be better, but you may not be. We don't know. Yeah. I mean, I know we can we all have the right to predict, but we don't know. No, none of us know. A lot of people think they know they call when everybody's going at their hands, excuse the aspect. I'm realistic. You and I know being old ballers, games are born offensive, defensive line. I like to tell you just so I know it's going to show up for Washington. Bobby Jackson, of course, Terry McClellan, of course, Jonathan Allen, of course. I'm sorry, I can't remember this made inside, but I know those people are going to show up. And that's what counts when you bring, you don't know what you got yet, and you're playing away from home and playing a good defense. Todd Rose, of course, is waiting for for Jane Daniels. He's salivating, but I like the chances. I'm not going to predict anything. I'm not crazy. No, it's OK. It's OK to be crazy. No, not me. I'm going to listen. I've been around too long. I love them. I don't know slightly crazy. It's OK. It's OK. It's OK. It's OK. I'm catching the game down there. And I'm starting to one game country. I have that crazy miss a moment. Charlie, appreciate you, man. Take care. Get yourself that outdoors. I think we got Jack Jack's back in Talford County. Bernie Gold, thanks for taking my call with Doc. My man. My man. What's up? Hey, I'm kind of deviated from the topic. I know you don't like to talk about yourself, but I was always curious about what's the origins of Doc, the name Doc for yourself. I'll hang up and listen on radio. We'll have to put it in a letter for him because we don't want to kill the momentum of the show. And OK, I hear where you're coming from. This is like most things. Abbreviation is something that's so foul. We can't say on public air. So we left it. We left it to that. But you just did a she in. That's a Kevin she in move to when we got momentum flowing. And then he comes in and and hits you under the belt knowing you're not going to reveal it, but does it anyway? Because you built that way. And that's why I love you, man. Jack, you have a great day. No problem, man. Hey, no, hey, I'm never ever get mad at a man for trying to take a shot. It's not had to try. No problem. I'd be mad at you if you didn't try. Silver spring is our next move. But we never disrupt the flow where we going. No conductor, whatever, a lot of that. OK, junkyard J.Y.D. Good. Happy Labor Day. Oh, man, you know what time it is, man. This is Labor Day. It's all good. Many moons. That's what's going down. The Chiefs will rise up. And we will attitude our counterparts. You might be ashamed of your name, the commanders now, but we know who you truly are. And you will fight with the Chiefs. But we will be fight with the like the Ozarks, the shine, the suit, the crow, the chippewa. And we will make war on all the NFL. I like it. Sounds good. I'm not going I'm not going to chase you down that rabbit hole because it does strike, you know, the Chiefs, the Braves. We've done this before as to why one is singled out, one's this, one's that. But you know what, at this point, hey, man, it don't I'm done. I just need to win no matter what we are wearing, what we are called. Enough is enough. I mean, because it's not happening quick enough for me. And being in last place, I mean, does it really matter what they call you? If you're not worthy of being called a champion? I can't mess with it. Not the guy. Then to win, then the win Sunday, you must you must go against the counterpart that you know that will be lying lying awake for you. Todd Bowles. Yep. Yep. And he will bring his defense and he's going to bring the pressure from all sides. Yep. Yeah. Well, the one thing that here that they have going for them is that is the truly the unknown because even JP Finley and company, I don't even think they know exactly what the plan of attack is going to be. We know what the plan of the first country first quarter. They do have the element of surprise. You do? What is it Jay? Why did you tell us? Like I said, he's going to come from all sides. He's going to put you. He's going to do all you know, Todd. Yeah, we know what Todd's going to do, but Todd doesn't know what he's going to do it against is my point. But I appreciate the call. Thank you. All right. You enthuse the acid boy. Jay. Why do you hear Jay? Why do you hear that fired up before? It's been a little bit, man. He's been a minute, man. He was really you know, usually we're I feel like we're doing shows in the morning or something. So maybe it's the afternoon now. He's a little more, you know, that's the most energetic. I've heard J. Y. D. You know, he goes, you got aliases, which I am mad at him. But that was good. Yeah, that was that was that was really good. Listen, man, why wouldn't you be excited? If the weather permits people are out, then they're backyard. And if you have a backyard and you in it, and you're cooking, and you're doing your version until gated, why not? What is it not to be thrilled about? I mean, there's enough going on in the world that we could pick topics. If you just have a day to smile, smile, go ahead and run with this thing, man. I, um, I got to go with a little baseball for a second. Because I, um, I don't know if my boy Shohei Otani is getting his love. I know the 40, 40 club is pretty, pretty exclusive. Akanya, you know, um, is, I mean, I, this brother gets hurt and I feel so bad. He's so much fun to watch. I mean, when you get speed and power, that's why bonds thing comes up that we don't get a chance to really give our athletes a spotlight that they deserve for whatever reason. But look, the 40, 40 club can say goes in it too. And can say go you look and people go A rods in it too. So Akanya and Soriano are the two guys that really aren't under quote. Can we say question in the 40, 40 club, 40 bombs, 40 bases stolen and Shohei is looking at 50, 50 and been no rumors, no questions about any substance interaction. Well, he is already the first player to ever have a 43 43 season. I know it doesn't sound cool with the zeroes at the end, but nobody's ever done that before. He's done that this week and no one. Yeah, no one. But you know, you with me on the 40, 40 club, but yet three of the participants have been a little bit of association with something outside the realms. Yeah, Barry bonds on there too. I know. Yeah. Well, can say go bonds in Rodriguez. Yeah. I mean, come on, who I mean, look, all of them ballers ballers flat out ballers, what they did, whether they did, whatever, well, I'll tell you this, before Jose can say those before Jose can say, co has quite the personality will say, but man, that book he wrote, you know, most of that has come true. Most of those things that he said about all those players that all denied everything, called them a liar, called them all his names. I mean, he, he came clean, man. He made other people come clean, whether they wanted to or not, but he came clean. See, you're one of the few that'll just call it for what it is. And I'm going, this is baseball's little secret that they play rough and tough. And look, I think Pete as a manager crossed a line that you can never ever take back. But this is one that I don't know if they'll solve it in our lifetime. But it does make you think. And I remember they call him skinny berry. Berry bombs at any point in time was as great as he was it. I mean, just some of this is funny. Show Hey, a little bit of West Coast bias because having lived on both places considered half of my life, I get it. Now it is a difference. But this dude, what he's doing is silly and wait till he gets back on the mound. And I was like, not even counting the pitching. He's just he's a ridiculous hitter. He, you know, certainly one of the top five ever, it seems like already, you know, I mean, you're putting them up there with Pete Rose and those guys, you know, yeah. No, I just, you know, it's so much going on. Scotty Sheffield, you can look at Scotty and say now too. When you see dudes that are doing things, they make, they make the abnormal seem normal. I just think you have to take a pause and go, Hey, man, we see you. We may not be beating the drum as loud as some others. But for God's sakes, let me let it be known. We see you. And yeah, you, you that dude. I mean, you were 25 million on a tournament. You look at every time I look up and I go, my God, he won again. And I go, and I'm not watching all 36 holes and all 72. But what I do know is I do recognize game. And the metal too. And you know, he didn't have a child, the wife does, but you still feel that there's a man you in there with your girl. And I'm going, man, this dude is he by on it. Do I feel like he's being underplayed? Is it me? It seemed like if Tiger did the same thing at the same time, it would have generated a lot more noise. Now, is that because of Tiger? Or is that because of how we cover it? I mean, do you think part of it's just because he's not an American? You know, I don't know. I'm just I mean, we love our American heroes, you know, this country coming out of the Olympics here and stuff. We love our American sports heroes. Yeah, but like maybe it's because he's not an American. Maybe he doesn't have these quotes after a game because he speaks Japanese and through an interpreter, we only hear what he says. But you know, you get these guys that. Oh, yeah, catch phrase or a pretty smile after every game and they do something big and you like, you know, and yeah, it doesn't have that, you know, he doesn't he doesn't. But I'll tell you what, I just thought I said, I cannot have a live have a live microphone and not at least throw it out there and say, do you guys and we're all different? We all look at things differently. We consume our sports in different levels and certain things are exciting to some and boring others. Some have some interest in it, not the others. Some adore college football, like yours truly some don't. I don't know how you can but people don't and they have the right to like what they like and and not. But I'm glad that for the most part, this audience showed that we're more than just sports geeks. The Ricky Pearsaw story was the story of the weekend to me. There was nothing to me personally that rated higher than this brother getting hit shot point blank. No arteries, no and gone through and cool and he's clean. I didn't even know that could really happen. I didn't think there's a place where you could just be shot and it goes through you and not hit something that's important. Well, they call it through and through. Maybe I'm watching too much of law and order but law and order. Dude, this is nothing better. Law and order. The good ones, the mysteries with the right music. I used to love SVU SVU. I used to watch a lot. You used to. What do you mean used to? Well, who was the guy who was Mariska Haggerty and the guy when they were he left at some point. I kind of stopped watching the show. Yeah, he's come back. Oh, is it? All right. Yeah, he's come back in one of the other. Yeah, they were so great together and then they left then he left and kind of went to do something else and I kind of stopped watching so much because their chemistry on camera was just great. It was incredible. Yeah. It was incredible. Those are the ones that get you going. You know, people law and order. But people have it. I used to be envious of Seinfeld followers because I never got into it because it was up against man called Hawk. And so you probably going, what the hell is man called Hawk? I've never heard of that one. Yeah, because you were in Seinfeld. They were up together. They were on same time. You couldn't watch both. And this is pre VCR. Yeah, this is pre technology. And I love it when you're talking to young people, you know, like Zion and them when you say that you didn't have VCR, you couldn't record it. They look at you like what? Well, I could do not record it. You couldn't just go online and watch it anyway. You couldn't go. You couldn't. You couldn't. You couldn't do so many things you couldn't do. I don't think we did. I don't think anybody records anything anymore. You just find it somewhere else. You know what I mean? Oh, I miss this thing. I'll find it on YouTube or Netflix or whatever. Yeah, I know. And you just go find it like you don't even have to bother recording it. But the VHS, the cassettes. I mean, I had my little box that was so neat that I, you know, wrote and had my label. I mean, those of us that went through the cassette era and we're labeling them the whole bit and some of you right now, you nodding your heads because you know you did it too. We were so proud of them cases we had. And I remember that the album era, people that loved that wax and the album cover, you think I ever thought the album, album cover would die, would not be gigantic? Yeah, man, living in sports and the whole nine yards. I mean, you take it for granted. You just take it for granted for preseason games or six or like this camp through. What is that? Man, it was six weeks. So things change. And even yeah, the most disciplined or Neanderthal, you have to be able to change. You've got to be able to adjust. Otherwise, you'll become extinct. Stay with us. Quick break. We'll be right back. The seasons may be changing, but the deals of the sharpest rides are unbeatable as ever. Hey, what's going on? It's your girl, Tasha McKia.

Toyota's lineup of cool, colorful vehicles is ready to ride by your side. Take on fall in a trail tackling Tacoma, or go for the powerful Tundra. Head to toyota.com for more info, or visit your local Toyota dealership today. Toyota, let's go places. Doc Walker, heavy metal integrant and Danny, and we'll be passing a baton over to Willingham, aka Zion, and it'll be interesting, and he'll be on some form of a... You know what we might get today? The nail super six pack. And now I'm sure he will knock that out today. Similar fans, where are you? And are your teeth chattering? Are you shaking in your boots? I wonder how uncomfortable you are now that BC is under a little bit of new leadership. You know, the expectations you want them, you want high expectations. I thought what Miami did down at the swamp was vicious, and that's what we want. Love rivalries, don't want to see it faked, want to see it for real. And you know, we ask all the time, is it you back? Do you was one of those schools that I don't know about you, but just things are better when they're in it. They... I love the style. I love the fact that when they are rolling, football is just better to me. They have a swashbuckler type style, but it was good for the game because it wasn't about being individuals. It was how they locked together as a team, and their culture was about work handling your business on the field, and out working each other. So I'm a big supporter of what the canes represent and how they will about it. And so how did you not like what the Gators had done as well? I thought it was an evenly matched rivalry, and that's what you want. I want King Kong Godzilla. I don't want to mismatch. I just want to see it get done. Where are you at with Clemson right now? And much respect their first year at the ACC, I was doing games, and I just had so much respect for where they were going. My dear friend and former strength conditioning coach with the World Champion, Burgundy and Gold, Jim Spiroz. And now, you know, entrepreneur and a very successful businessman. You know, he is a Clemson Tiger, and he's a NCAA champion and a Super Bowl champion. A lot of pride with the program. But brother, I'm telling you right now, he looking good. He's going against the grain. I wonder, do you have an opinion about what's going on in Clemson? I still consider him a power, but I got to take the super ahead of that. I can no longer refer to the super power. I mean, I just, with all these, here's part of it to me, with all the the shakeups and the divisions and the portal and everything in college football, it's real easy to go from being a powerhouse program to not much bigger than a mid major, almost overnight, it seems. And I think we're going to see more of this kind of stuff. I think I'm starting to see the teams that are getting those top quarterbacks, are the ones that are going to start being good. And then when that quarterback leaves, you better find another one real quick, because somebody else is going to pop up if you don't, you know? Yeah, that's, that's, that is right. I just, my guy, the demands of Stag, Andre Jones, he's in a over time match in Pickleball. Well, he got a chance to win a chance. Well, you know, he's a stag. Come on, man. You know, stags. They're, they're somewhat, you know, it's highbrow. So they don't, uh, not like they'd be out there, like, you know, running a little hoops or what? No, he's playing pickle. You could be playing Danny Rudy. I know he's big into the pickle ball. Yeah. But you know, Rudy is doing it to train. One thing about that is consistent. He's constantly trying to put himself in a position so he can eat whatever he wants to eat. I mean, this is why I work out. Why do you work out? Jeez, just have the exercise sometimes, man. I mean, I do a lot of sitting around the studios, man. Okay, you get a politically correct answer. I like working here, but you, you don't get a lot of movement. You don't get a lot of movement in this building. That is true. That is true. Move movements, the key, the key man. It's so important to move to keep moving and, and Danny is, does a great job because he shares his challenges. And that's a big man to do that, a big man to do that, to share his challenges and to be open about it and it goes out and, you know, gets that cardio in and weight training. But so, Dre, I say, yeah, to keep playing, go in and try to win. And then we'll, as long as you do it in the passionate sense, like John Booty, we had John Booty with us over the weekend. And another guy who lays it on the line in the gym, in the weight room, you know, training, like Ken Harvey. Ken Harvey might be as strong right now. Today is a lot of guys playing. Which is frightening. And it's absolutely frightening. But the Seminoles, so your gut, I'm not asking if you're a player, because that's personal. You can play or not play. But you feel good about the Seminoles tonight against Boston College. I don't know how you can be after, after last Florida State game. I mean, I don't know. Now I'm not a big Florida State fan, but I do have a good friend that went there and I actually visited him down in campus one time years ago. He went, he got his master's degree down there. And I went down there for spring break with some other friends to visit down in Florida State. So I have been there and it's a beautiful campus. But oh, yeah, I don't have a horse in that race per se. But I'll tell you after the start, their season, I don't know how you can feel comfortable about them doing anything right now. I mean, you want to see something where you're like, okay, that was a fluke because they're next three games. They just completely dominated unless they do something like that. I don't know, man. Well, let me be glad that the 12 that the new, you know, opening up the 12 team, the series, the whole nine yards and I do feel they got burned bad last year by getting like not being allowed in on that. Yeah, we could debate it. I always use the Dolphins in Earl Marlle. If that were the case, then how the Dolphins, the only team to be undefeated, which is really saying something about Pro Ball. Nobody's done it, but Miami, nobody. Yeah, Pat's almost did, but yeah, we've almost done a lot of things in life. I'll tell you though, I also feel that this is sometimes controversial to people. But that year was the year the Patriots got caught filming the Jets in week one. And I feel if you get caught cheating, you should be forced to forfeit a game. If you're doing that, they never would have had the almost undefeated season because their first game would have been a loss. But, uh, but, you know, I guess the NFL doesn't give you a loss. You're even uncomfortable. So you're uncomfortable even talking about it. Well, I need a flood of parlors. Tell me I'm just sometimes something or something. Well, yeah, but that's okay. But that's all right. That's all right. Because there are, our society is somewhat split when it comes to that. You can find just as many people that will say that if you ain't cheating, you ain't trying how often have you heard that? Yeah, but those are the people that cheat. So I don't really. Well, I just have this a lot of it, though. You hear a lot of it. The Patriots are not. They don't lose any street cred. I was brought up like this. And you know they cheated and they have lost no street cred whatsoever. Well, they have to me. But yeah, I hear what you're saying. I mean, here's the way I was brought up. The argument that other people are doing something wrong makes it okay for you to do something wrong. Let them justify your own. You get to make your own actions and choices. So, just because everyone else is cheating doesn't mean you can cheat too. Yeah. But here's why our deal is better than being in a bar right now, only talking to four people. We can be talking to 40,000 talking to 40 million. But we're saying what people should be able to discuss in more open forms. Sure. We can discuss things and not let it get out of hand, but it needs to be discussed. Because if not, you never come to any clarity over it. You know, dad going, well, they did it. And yet people are going, okay, cool, we're all right with it. But I'm thinking, well, wait a minute, how can we consider this dude the goat and that other guy running it the goat? And they cheated. And you know, they cheated. Yeah. And you have deflated balls and who knows what else we did at all the rumors of all the, uh, the internet would go out when they were trying to, you know, over times or whatever, two minute drills for the opponent and suddenly the internet goes out of their, their headsets go out. They can no longer communicate to the quarterback of a field doing a two minutes real. Okay. There's a random power outage, you know, they're creative. You know, I bought the Boston garden with red RB the water was ice cold for the opponents or whatever. You know what I mean? If they happen accidentally, they were talking about dead spots on the floor. Man, you can go back and go over time. That's why Coach Thompson was so cool. He was sharing things with us that we might not normally have been told or heard about. And it's the gamesmanship. And there's probably a lot more of it that goes on. I'm glad we can discuss it and it not be a war. Nobody's angry. We're going, okay. We're not crazy. And there's the latest thing with the Wolverine. Are you serious to do? Don't even have a job there anymore. And the NCA comes back. Oh, by the way, if you ever come back, you have a certain year. Really? I mean, y'all are still doing this. NCA has always been weird about that stuff, though. Yeah. But it's come on, man. What weird, weird and ignorant, we've got to decide which we're going to accept and which we're going to review. Well, look, look, what have they took Reggie Bush's Heisman away? Now I know they gave it back to him just recently, but they took his Heisman away. But Pete Carroll, who was the guy paying him, got to go in a Super Bowl in Seattle. And no one says that's a bad thing that he, you know, they didn't take nothing away from him. I know. So that's the part, that's the part where, thank goodness, we have this form that we can at least discuss it. At least it's brought up. Then we're not at war. We didn't eat each other. We're not at war. But I think the town hall type debate to where we can at least put things out and discuss it without it being a war. You know, I think that's the one thing that I enjoy about the format. I think this is what we have over television. The television can never, ever touch it as long as we utilize this the right way. Then it's what we have is untouchable. But we got to take a break right now or it will be touched and stay with us. We'll be right back here. Grant Danny, time slot DOC and heavy metal here with you on the fan. 249 in the nation's capital grant and Danny show. Fellows well deserved break in the action and DOC metal pulling it through and keeping the light on just in case. You come in Damascus is our next stop here on the fan. Christopher, how are you? I'm fine. Thank you. How are you? I mean, we having a lot of fun today, man. A lot of fun town hall type of getting people involved. Well, I don't know the choice. I don't know how not to. But right. I was going to mention the Celtics and that floor that they accused them of. But you remember also, yeah, how about that? Remember, there was a game always on the NFL that were ran or fell films or whatever way back when when their patrons at the time ran that little snow plow out in the middle of the middle. Yeah. What was that? Anyway, baseball. Yeah, but I don't think that was what the rules but who knows, I guess. I don't know. I also want to say something about the command. Do we know if the bargain de matches the colors this year? Um, I don't know. I'd be speaking out of line. I hope that that's been identified. You know, some people say it doesn't matter and I go, well, they didn't know. That's right. They didn't within they didn't wear it. They didn't wear the colors. It'd be like having a different shade of green than should be for the Marines. They know what color shade green is. I mean, the Air Force has a shade of blue. They know exactly what the shade of blue is for the Air Force and the Navy. Everybody knows it is. It is ridiculously arrogant to think that we don't know what the color is that we have been celebrating for years. Right. And I would think that's one thing. Instead of us focusing, I mean, I was, I understand the people about the name, but I think let's at least get the colors right to start with that. And then you like to think, you think, but there's nothing easy. I know. I got I got faith in the new guys, especially mitts rails and I saw that or heard Grant and Danny talk about the bemets for all the fame t-shirts and off or in the sports shop or wherever that is. But anyway, and then I also on my number one, I threw out, I needed a left field defensive player. So I wanted to give you my other eight real quick. It was Johnny Ben, Keith Hernandez, Roberto Alomar, on more risk scale Brooks Robinson, Roberto Clemente, and in center field, I put that on light only because I really didn't start watching close to 68. And by then, Willie Mays was slowing down a little in the center field. But those were the best ones I ever saw. But I could never forget a left fielder who could actually throw and play defense. And some people said Barry Bond, you said that's the Dave Winfield I'd wanted to think of, but I don't know if he played enough left field. But anyway, I just it bothers me sometimes when people say, well, he's the fourth or person to ever do that or tenth player and they never tell you the other one. So I just didn't want to put that out there and not say who I thought. And those were just guys that I always remember, they were always good reputations. They always were the top of the league in the defensive positions. But I saw them do things that I've really never seen anybody else pretty much do. So that was that. And anyway, thanks for being alive and local on Labor Day. And good luck to everybody be safe. Appreciate that. That's also a detail. Thank you. Tension to detail. Chris, you hear that? He has attention. That is attention to detail. And that's the beauty about baseball. I feel baseball fans, you kind of have to, right? Man, it's the thing I love about the fact that these different sport, for me, if you know, if you want to slow yourself down, you know, we talked about the hustle and bustle. And we're always, you know, we're in a hurry for everything. Baseball in slowing it down and keeping the stats of everything. And just the simplicity of that, all it slows you down. The rest of everything else, we kind of like want to hurry through it. You know, we just kind of find you so you want to get through things as opposed to, you know, just accepting it and enjoying it. I don't know, baseball, man, it got to be good for your blood pressure. Absolutely has to be. How much of it did you play? Metal? Did I play? You know, I didn't play at the time. Were you a little league guy? I played some little, like real little league when I was like in elementary school. But by the time I was in about high school, I was actually umpiring little league games. So that's what I got into. You've been behind the plate. Yeah, they paid me to do it. That's why I started doing that because I could get paid doing it. Oh, yeah. Well, come on. Come on. Well, that was the thing. I was like, I could go play on a team or I could go, you know, umpire some kids and they paid me money. So I wanted to make the money. So I'm a hustler, even them. Well, well, you know, you've been this man. I mean, they're wrong with you have to. You said that like you embarrassed. No, no, it's just that they were great. I didn't get it. I wasn't. Look, so also, like in my family, my little brother was like the one that was like the natural athlete at everything. So like, you know, he'd pick up soccer ball and he'd be on the travel soccer team. He'd pick up a baseball bat, and he was on the all star team, like all that stuff. And I was like, okay, I was never like a standout player at anything. I was like, I was okay. I could be on a team, but I wasn't like the lead off batter or nothing like that on teams, right? Yeah, most cool. But and that's fine. But it also was just kind of like, look, you know, sports aren't that big to me. I was like, I can find a way to be involved, but get paid. That's that's what I started doing. So brother, I like the sound of that. Yeah, you just, you just rang, bring a bill that I can definitely relate to. Well, passing the baton, my friend, it looks like we're turning up with that leg with the baton out. Are we going to pass this boy to Zion? He's here. But does he have his hand out? Is he is he in the lane or is he late? Oh, no, he's ready to rock. He's ready to rock. Yeah, he's got make sure his shoes don't break. Well, that's right. Because he puts a lot of pressure on him. Well, you know, he is down though. It looks good. He looks good. I got to give him credit. Send the three bills. That's a good one. Well, brother, it's always an honor, man. Always fun and represent Grant Danny, a thrill. And I can't wait to lock in and listen to the youngest. Well, no longer formerly the youngest in charge. Take over the movement right here. DOC.
