Diesel has been a big day for you. What all happened today? Did we go to the doctor? No, I'll show him your new hairdo Show me your new hairdo So diesel went in for an EKG today We had to make sure his heart was strong enough He has a procedure coming up next week to Clean his mouth It actually does look pretty red in there. Hopefully it's not infected, but his breath is awful right now And we got to clean him on social media. Give him a smile. Give him a smile.  Oh, your tooth is chipped. When did that happen? Ah the old man He's getting his mouth cleaned next week and we found out a while ago actually that diesel has a heart murmur so before he goes in gets his Procedure done. They have to put him under pretty heavy and aesthetics and put him down for the not put him down terrible wording put him Put him under like knock him out for the whole day pretty much So we wanted to make sure that his heart could handle it So he went for an EKG today with a specialist and we're gonna get the results back in a few days But he said that it looked really good that he doesn't need to be in any medication yet for his heart murmur but We'll see what they say And we got Chevy over here Chevy You still scared to go in the bedroom? For some reason you'll see it in the upcoming vlogs But for some reason Chevy's been afraid to go in the master bedroom. We don't know why There is no reason why he should be but we think it might be a little hot in there for him I'll explain it more in some upcoming in the upcoming videos, but It was interesting So diesel you're all set for next week, right? Gotta be a little more exciting than this man come on you wave at least hey, babe Everyone's really tired Everyone's really tired in this house We don't know why But this guy might have something to do with it Hi, Theo. You want to give him a smile? I'll give him a smile. Oh a little bit a little bit.  What happened last night? What happened last night? He's a good boy last night. It was the night before he wasn't. Oh, yeah last night You slept really good, but the night before because it was Mother's Day, right? So I Stayed up all night with him and all morning because Britt was gonna sleep Well, he took that as a challenge. I Didn't sleep five minutes. He wasn't angry. He wasn't upset He was very happy and very vocal about it So I was up literally all night with him the night before Mother's Day But Britt got to sleep. So that's all that mattered. Hello. It's me.  No one wants everyone's like oh Showed my face There he is but yeah from Mother's Day like I was gonna stay up with him all night and All morning and we went to bed around. It's bed pretty late on midnight 12 30 I think 2 a.m. He wakes up I'm like, all right. Oh daddy duty. So I got up and picked him up came out here fed him changed him Everything's all good in the world Could not put him back down again all night and all morning. He would not go back to sleep Wide awake the whole time. I don't know why he was happy. He was he changed it. I changed his diaper. He was fed He was burped just happy staring at everything and so we have this let me flip you around here We bought this for him, right? So it like sings music and stuff how you turn it on here, right? It's not the way you turn it on Thought that was a way to turn is it out of batteries or something? Oh, no, there it is. Okay, so I'm gonna turn the music off on here We're live so I can't cut any of this out Okay, and then we don't need the lights though. The lights are pretty cool. Oh, you can't see him right now They like make like a party on the ceiling for him, right? I Don't need that Okay, let's oh boy changes all kinds of different colors. Oh, that's fun. I didn't know that You know, we don't need that this thing spins, right? So I figured, you know, I'll turn on this thing for Mr. Crabb here and that'll distract him that'll put him to sleep, right? No No, as soon as this thing started spinning. He just started talking to that thing all night All night Right He keep your daddy up all night And all morning we thought that maybe when the sun came up we could get some sleep, right? No No You were up all day yet But this last night, which is the the next night He slept Like a rock for a newborn. He slept from midnight to 4 45. I believe And then he slept most of the morning today too and he's been sleeping all day and as you can see he's a A little bit more rested. Do you need your blanket little buddy? It's not that cold in here, right? You're just gonna kick it off anyway, right?  There it is There it is All right, flip you around uh warning. Oh, I should have given them a warning shoot.  I'm sorry you missed the stream I didn't announce that this was happening or anything. I just figured Why not? um Had a pretty special day today Uh, well, I've been hearing from a lot of you that uh That I haven't been posting videos every single day and you know people over the years have gotten used to me posting every single day and while Afratio was born we were focusing on you know figuring out what was going on and how to care for a newborn and Keep the baby alive I didn't post as many So that is all getting caught up with now and next week we're back to there being a video every single day And I'm gonna try my best Actually, I should commit to it To keep that up every day because it bothers me too when I don't release one every day Because that's what this channel is supposed to be about every day end the vlog off with daily vlogs with me like popping out of the screen Right, it's supposed to be daily videos and I've been posting Uh, about three four a week That was just to uh you know Take it a little easy while we were getting used to being new parents But we've gotten used to it. We're getting right into the swing of things Doesn't make me any less tired though Yeah, it is exhausting, but it is the best exhaustion you will ever feel Yeah So I have not been ignoring your comments here. They're just flying up my screen here a little fast now They don't all come at at the same or they all come at the same time for some reason People are asking how is Theo Natasha asked how is he? He's doing great perfect health. He's uh We couldn't have asked for a better turnout and a better child. He's he's perfect So I only complain just he needs to sleep Yeah, he's a sleep a little more than that. He's he's a very happy good baby as long as he's fed Well, hi from Langley bc. He is going to uh start being a lot more alert now pistol and he says Yeah, he is started in a couple weeks ago already Uh, Theo is your five year to make baby. He's so worthy. It took us over five years of of trying Five and a half. Yeah And he's an IVF baby for those of you who are new or just tuning in. He's an IVF baby. So a science baby The doctors have no explanation for us as to why we had fertility issues It just wasn't working the the the meeting just wasn't happening the conception just for whatever reason We had one miscarriage a few years back if you go back onto my channel and you watch the video called uh Our greatest journey yet it explains everything of how we got to here and uh That goes back to 2014 and everything as well Everyone's saying happy mother's day Stefan else is happy mother's day paulus is hi from ontario Natasha says happy mother's day brett john marsh how has been working and family life It is a new balance that i'm getting used to Uh, not used to it yet. I don't know if i'll ever be used to it, but it's something that we're figuring out So far it's been going pretty good Sound is off. Jo Jo kim lot says is anybody else having issue with sound? Nicole says the video was wonderful. Thank you Hey, I put a lot of I put a lot of effort in that was a very special one for me Uh I wanted it to turn out just perfect and I still made an error I proof read it I proof watched it over and over and over and I got brit to watch like three times to see if I made any errors I still made an error in it and I got the date wrong in one of the subtitles I said 2023 instead of 2022 or something got one of the years wrong But in the original that we saved for ourselves I fixed that and I just left the one that was on youtube up so if we go back into our I might say because I save all my videos on a separate hard drive So they're not just on youtube I have them all on a separate like huge massive like three terabyte hard drive. I think I have three of those already but Jason says when the egg is old enough, he will need a toy semi truck to drive We'll work on that when he gets older. Yeah, that's pretty cool to have like a one that he can actually ride on Matt he says it's a memory flashback for us who have been with you to for the long haul Yeah before I met brit Yeah No, everyone's saying no audio issues. Okay. I'm sorry then you're welcome. It must be on your end I'm I'm just holding my phone in my hand right now So the microphone isn't the greatest and I have to be careful that I don't cover the microphone with one of my fingers I've done that before Hello from the nation's capital Ottawa You were here last year and I missed you with five minutes at the petro pass shoot Shoot oh, I gotta be careful not to cover the camera sound is fine sound is fine Everyone's saying sound is fine. Happy happy mother's day from Mankato, Minnesota. Where's it? Mankato Mankato Mankato Mankato sounds sounds right. I'd go with Mankato. That's what I'd say. That's how I'd say I'm coming through loud and clear in Israel awesome. Can you imagine how cool that is? I'm talking right now and there's someone in Israel like around on the other side of the world at this exact moment hearing me talk and seeing my face and watching my lips move And hearing my voice come out of like around the entire world instant Isn't that crazy? Wow That's cool. Australia right below that the next comment is checking in from Australia. That's even further away That's on the other hemisphere on the other side like on the bottom of the other side of the planet You can't get much further away from that.  I want to go there just to hang out with the people But I think I just like I'd stay in the cities And if I leave the city I want a tour guide. That's like going to They clear this clear the room of any crazy animals before I get in there But the machete in a bazooka, but they're pretty hard on guns. I don't think we can carry around them Flamethrower, can you have flamethrowers? That's probably no that No, I don't think you can carry guns or flamethrowers around Australia I would definitely want to have a shotgun everywhere I go and I can shoot these huge massive spiders Everywhere Oh, well us north americans, we just don't understand right So what happened, uh entree papa says what happened to the blue Barians blueberry. Oh Oh And now they've moved on with their lives things are very different for them and they become they're they're much more private individuals now They're not on youtube anymore Upcoming plans for the kw Uh driving it making money with it But the next thing I would do probably down the road would be a new bumper lots more chicken lights and uh I guess the bumper would be the next logical step but uh For now, it's just gonna stay the way it is And I got other things to spend money on for a little while here Just join greetings from scotland. Hello from australia another australian Love australians Just not your spiders I'm very uh i'm prejudice against your spiders. I don't like them. They scare me massive Shouldn't be allowed. I shouldn't be allowed old indiana. Howdy. That's a little bit closer Your nephew is born. Uh your nephew Uh was born may 20 of 2020 He's almost a year old so right now. He's 11 and a half months old He's starting to stand up while holding on to furniture. That's cool. I can't wait for that face When they're starting to stand up Let me cool man cato Minnesota man cato, so we had it right So fan says he doesn't think I'll spoil feel one bit the rolling eyes emoji He's already spoiled too late More people saying happy mother's day. Hi from texas From tomson area that's really close by compared to australia Thompson's about as far away as most people would be for me in manitoba. Thompson You've seen it in my videos.  Is there anyone in here from like south asia or east asia? Congratulations a lot of people say congratulations. There's one from newfoundland east coast of canada australia They say most trucks are cabovers the animals mostly keep to themselves over here same as your bears That makes sense Yeah, for you guys, I guess like the the crazy animals to you would be sort of like a bear or a wolf to us They could kill you, but they usually leave you alone.  Can I carry like a club or something? What kind of protection can I have there from their crazy spiders and I saw a couple of videos on youtube or at least saw one where that kangaroo like Got in a fist fight with a guy over his dog. He had his dog and is in a chokehold You've probably seen this.  Yeah, it's like a viral video. Most people have probably seen it Now how do you protect yourself out there? There's wild animals all over the place There was another super chat coming up here somewhere. I want to get to where did I miss? Sorry, I'm getting behind on your comments. Thank you for all your comments everybody Asia someone there's from Asia rock e from Croatia. I'm seeing that there Israel isn't in the Middle East. That's true. That's that is true. I guess when I was When I think Middle East, I'm thinking like east of that like South Asia, I would think of like India, Pakistan Middle East, I would think of like Afghanistan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia Arab countries and then that's just in in my mind east Asia I would think of like, you know, China, Japan, Philippines, Vietnam, stuff like that out there It's the way my brain works. I guess I mean Israel, we can still go there and most people there speak English still But that's a that's a whole can of worms. We're not gonna get into are we? That's a holy King cobra greetings from Sweden Go find a bottle of medicine alcoholic beverage or good knobs Adult medicine Thank you. Thank you very much That's awesome It looked like a thousand, but that's in their Swedish currency. It's different in Canadian dollars Yeah I'm reading some comments here. I've seen that Yeah, someone else saw that video who haven't anyone mess with his his dog No, if a kangaroo got one of my dogs in a chokehold, I'll drop kick that kangaroo in the face I don't care what's gonna happen. I'll drop kick a crocodile in the face if I got one of my dogs Josh Bryant, good point. I don't know if there's anyone here from Antarctica But they do have like Research stations that wouldn't that be wild? Someone from Antarctica was watching my video. Most people in Antarctica are like scientists and really smart people What would you be doing watching my videos? Yeah, how's Theo doing from Chicago? He's doing very well very well very active Oh boy lots of comments trying to trying to keep up with everything here. Okay. I think I caught up here Yes, thank you everyone's saying thank you. Thank you king king cobra. I appreciate that I was just coming on here to hang out with you guys. That's a that's a nice nice bonus I appreciate that uh, but the main thing I came out here to hang out with was to Tell you about diesel's appointment today. He did very good He's getting his big procedure next week the biggest procedure. He's ever had in his life He's got to be put under anesthetic Some pretty heavy anesthetic all day just to have his mouth cleaned out and he might have a few teeth pulled so it's not crazy life or death surgery, but If we don't make sure that his heart is strong enough it could turn out to be a life or death thing So that's why we checked his heart first And uh, if you look back there in our kitchen We got a new appliance today We got a dishwasher Britt bought herself a dishwasher with her tax return Because washing dishes is a waste of time And there's so there's so much Just with one baby and two people use so many dishes and let's be honest like britt Handles like 99% of it and I maybe I should do a little bit more. Okay Okay, what? Maybe I should do more but for the most part she does and she has a xema on her hands And when they get wet and with all the soaps and stuff, uh, her hands start cracking and bleeding It's actually very painful for her So the dishwasher will not only save her hands It'll save tons of time because time is a rare commodity when you have a have a young one And that'll save a lot of time. So we have to get that hooked up yet Right, but it's not installed. It's just there that blue little screen is going to come off And it'll be stainless steel like the other appliances in the fridge over there Uh, so that we have to get installed soon. It's just sitting there right now just to make sure it would fit in there Yeah I did do the dishes for mother's day People saying I should do the dishes He did about 75% of the dishes on mother's day Well because it's hard because She's so quick She's so quick.  She's already washing them She's like she she has to have the house very clean and very uh, which I really appreciate because I also like a clean house I'm just not always the best at keeping it clean But she's very good at it And uh Yeah, all the dishes have always got to be done and maybe I should get up and go show you this Don't reveal it too much Gotta be careful Okay, and there we go Flip you around So This is always full.  Either they're dirty dishes or they're clean dishes drying And we don't Usually dry them with the towel though, I guess we could but we let them air dry So um We don't have a lot of counter space in here So now we have a dishwasher And uh, once this thing's all set up, we're gonna have a little you know countertop built around It says more counter space here too. So, you know, you get Two birds one stone, right more counter space and a dishwasher And yeah, that's uh What we're dealing with what else was I gonna show them shabby wasn't there or something else? No I think that was it Back to the nursery back here. I'm gonna wrap this stream up right away then We built this whole nursery for Theo and he hasn't even used it yet Because we just changed him out in the living room most of the time But as he gets older, he's got his crib here. We're just using this to keep this away from the dogs That's his little play play area there his car seat another change table here all because of extra diapers and stuff But anyway, I guess I can wrap this up I've been getting uh, uh many comments of people saying hey, why don't you upload every day anymore? That's coming back. Don't worry. We're getting the ball rolling again. Next week. There'll be a video every single day We're gonna keep that going so Thanks for tuning in everybody. I see all your comments coming in here. I promise you I'm not ignoring them I see them all there. Just go going up my screen there So thanks everybody for hanging out with me tonight and I will see you in an actual vlog uh tomorrow


Welcome to the snap. This is a segment where we answer frequently asked questions in a very rapid fire format. So let's get right into it Today, I'm joined again by will Will you assisted with the previous experiment where we tested being able to tell the difference between torch to torch from a cold start With a generic heating technique. You were wrong But you predicted that you'd be able to trick me and to believe in that a triple or double torch can perform as well As a single you still stand by that prediction. I do. Yeah Basically the way that you use your torch or your induction heater You are able to change the experience drastically get bigger clouds just by the way you heat it It doesn't necessarily matter what you're actually using to eat it. So we have three 2020 m's here loaded with the exact same material and we have many more heat sources I'm not going to know what is being used to heat the devices I just know that I need to guess what it is. We have a couple of different variables So it's going to be harder for me to guess But will is going to try to make every single one hit as hard as they can Let's see what happens Hello, and you're watching the snap brought to you by Dynavap. I'm Michael and I'm joined by video Ben. Hello We're providing blissful commentary as we watch to see if will can fool Josh in the thinking every heating device is a single torch And it looks like will is started as experiment by making sure that blindfold is nice and secure Right you are Ben. He's using the tried and true stress ball method to test his sight Now I'm just like afraid of where they're coming from Okay, will is now choosing his first heating device looks like it's a cyclone to triple torch That's a good beginner torch, but can he make it hit like a single? That's a great question then will is now using the infinite spin technique It looks like he's holding the back cap about an inch away from the torch and the flame is aimed at the base You know what that means? Josh is going to launch directly to space with that hit right you are Ben right you are Josh has his fingers out. He's ready for that toke handoff Listening for that click and there it is Great vape handoff technique good vapor production on the first draw. It looks like Josh can handle the base heating Three quick draws good vapor production for a first heat up This is gonna be tough will is looking pretty confident with that first heat up right you are Looks like will is picking up the Z plus two. Oh, he's putting it back down.  He's ready for another hit Good form on the single torch there another base heating Josh is sure in for a relaxing day And there's the click will hands the vape cap off to Josh and Josh takes his first draw Do you think he has any idea what he's in for none whatsoever Ben? I think Josh is in for another big rip Jesus I have my guess for this one because it made me cough Oh, I did think about something with the induction heater because I can hear the torch going But I can't tell how many jets when you do the induction heater because induction heaters one-handed Use a torch at the same time Yeah, because that will then prove to the audience that Of course It looks like will is finally going to use the Z plus two. I'm not so sure Michael I think that's yep the Z plus two dual torch is actually a red herring for the induction But he's not just sticking it into the induction here looks like he's pulsing it. That's right It'll help heat the material more evenly. There's the click and the handoff Taking a little while in the first draw. Do you think he knows it's an induction heater? Not a lot of vapor on that one. He might have been fooled this time Okay, now I think it's getting a little bit easier I have my guesses up here Looks like will is finally using that dual torch the Z plus two really has a distinctive sound difficult to use in a blind test Speaking of distinctive just a reminder for those of you watching at home Don't forget to respect the click. It's the most important thing you can do to avoid combustion You don't want combust. No, you don't such a waste of flavor and material Will's got the click handing off to Josh Got a little nod from Josh there Nice cloud and he's going back for seconds. Lot of good flavor in there. I Think he caught those tasty terpenes. I think so too. Let's listen in to see what Josh guesses Okay, so my guess is I think the first one was a single I think the second Was the triple They could throw me for a loop with the second with another single and that last one was a single Interesting guesses from Josh. He's definitely blindfolded. Let's see how many he got right No, so the order in which we went was the first the vertigo triple torch the second that we used was the Vertigo javelin single torch the third that we used was the Apollo 2 rover fourth and final device that we use specifically was the vertigo Z2 Interesting second one and that one you said was the single flame, right? Correct that one had The least amount of volume all the rest. I felt it immediately in my throat. I felt it in my chest We get that little bit of a punk punch What were some of the techniques that you were doing for the various torches to get that type of experience? Well, it all depends on the experience that you're going for so if you want Thicker, you know denser vapor what you're gonna want to do is just heat below the bottom of the cap And just keep the flame farther away So it will take you longer to do it, but it's just kind of a patience thing You're gonna get denser rips if it takes you longer to heat up your cap So awesome, and did you do anything special with the double torch? The double torch was kind of the same method What I like to do though if I feel like it's going too long eventually you will kind of learn how it clicks And how long it should take so if you feel like it's going too long and you may be combusting You can run the torch up closer to the tip to get it to click With the rover did you do anything technique wise to get that hot of it? Draw right off the first heat cycle. Yeah, I do find that it's a cool way to do it You are able to just modulate and just basically engage the heater and then disengage the heater Just over and over and over again to slowly allow the heating chamber to heat up instead of just a direct contact the entire time I thought for sure like you tried to trick me with several singles and Only like one or two maybe of another torch or heat source But they all had that higher temp. I'd be curious You know now that I have this knowledge Doing this at home, and I urge everyone that's watching if you have multiple heat sources And you live with a roommate or a significant other had them do the heating for you and do that AB comparison I think you'll be really surprised This is gonna be tough that first draw the cloud felt like it was very very very very dense and Got me a draw that I'm used to only getting from a single torch or similar to the single torch draw that we did in the last video Overall very very impressive and it shows you The torch or heat source that you use is very very important when you're starting out in terms of difficulty Once you get familiar regardless of the heat source that you're using you can get whatever experience you're Looking for as long as you have the technique wouldn't you agree? Well, I do agree. Yep Now what is your go-to heating source at home for me personally? I do love the rover I have that that I use both on the go and at home if I'm going for old reliable though I always carry a triple torch as well. I love the single torch and in the fact that that provides pretty consistent dense clouds Over over time though, I've just been able to practice and get almost exactly the same results with a triple torch Yeah, I would urge everyone like just hold it further away Kind of like that marshmallow video consistent rotation speed Keep your flame about an inch away from the cap and stop as soon as you hear the click Focus it far enough away and you'll be able to get those dense clouds jet placement. Did you care about that at all? Really the only thing that I would consider is the farther down you keep it on the tip Normally the longer it will take the cap to click which is going to make a hotter dense or hit for you I'm very very surprised at how this turned out Even more so than the last one simply because we had many more options to choose from I felt like you put your money where your mouth was As always I'm it's not like I'm out here lying to people so Want to thank everyone for watching this episode of the snap Let us know what your favorite heating techniques are in the comments below What do you typically do when you're looking for that big hit? What type of torture are you using or what technique are you using? We'd love to know and we will see you next time on the snap and That has been the snap once again. I'm retail Josh and thanks for watching

Welcome back to the couch at DCTV for another episode of In the Studio. I'm your host for today, Issa Shake. There's been a push in Davis recently to get the city a new design flag. One of the organizers of that effort is Aiden Ramey and he joins us today. Thank you very much for having me, Issa. Thanks, Aiden. Let's start out with your background. Where are you from and how long have you been in Davis? I originally grew up in the Los Angeles area and I've been in Davis since my third year now. I'm a junior at UC Davis. So you came here because of the UC? Yes. Davis has sort of been in my family for a long time. Lots of my family are farmers in the Fresno area, so they all came to UC Davis. So it sort of made sense for me to come here as well. So for viewers who don't know, what is your project? Well our project is to give the city a symbol that they can be proud of. This project was started by and for the community. We wanted to get community submissions. We got people from high school students to a guy living in Davis for over 70 years to design a flag that we can all proudly rally behind. Yeah. So your project is to give the city a flag. Where did the inspiration for this project come from? Well, I watched a TED talk about flag design, specifically city flag design. And at the end of it, the speaker gave a little call to action. And he said, if your city doesn't have a city flag, maybe work to change that. And I was inspired by that. And ever since I've come to Davis, I've absolutely fell in love with the city. And I decided, why not give it a go? And I've been having a blast ever since. Yeah. So what is the significance of a city having a flag? Well, a city having a flag is the best way for the residents to show their civic pride. City flag can display a powerful and complex message easily recognizable from a distance. And the cities that have the well-designed flags are proud of it. And they proudly fly it. And we believe Davis needs such a flag. Yeah. So when you watched this TED talk, you were inspired. What were your first steps? What did you first think of doing? Well, the first step was to get some help. I consider myself artistically challenged. So I went out to some design students at UC Davis and pitched them the idea. And started out with five initial designs from UC Davis design students. And just so we could sort of get people interested in the idea. And then we said, we want people to submit your own ideas. And so we got lots of submissions from the community. And yeah, that's how it started. Yeah. So other than just getting submissions from the community, have you reached out to Davis residents to the community? How have you tried to get their support? We've been doing so much over the past year and a half. So we've been tabling at the farmer's market, tabling downtown. I've spoken at four local schools in Davis, DaVinci, Willett, DHS, and King. I've spoken at multiple city council meetings. I've been at events with police officers and firefighters. Just any Davis public event members of our organization try to show up to show that we're proud to be part of the city and we would like people to support the project. Yeah. So when you're at the farmer's market, when you're at high school, what's the kind of reaction do you get? Overwhelmingly positive. At Willett Elementary, there was a young man who, I've spoke to around 66 graders there. And he came to me after I spoke and very seriously said, I want you to promise to come back here once this project is successful. And it totally made my month. So it's been overwhelmingly positive because this whole project is out of love for the city. And people are excited by it and getting to wave your wave of flag and say, I love Davis. I'm proud to live here. It's something that a lot of people can really easily get behind. So it's not just a community effort, it's a political effort, right? Because you'd have to have the city government agree to this. How have your interactions with city government gone? They've been going pretty well. I've spoken at two city council meetings. We do have support on the city council.  And we're hoping by the end of the year is sort of our goal to get the flag officially recognized with a couple on our side and hopefully soon to be more. We think that task is... Have any votes been held? Has any votes? Yes. So last year, back when we had around a thousand votes from the community, the city council, this project stirred a lot of interest about flags and the city council decided that, hey, you know, city of Davis does need a flag. And they decided to implement an old city logo as the city flag.  We think maybe one of our designs should be the city flag. And the mayor said it's a great idea. It's a great project, but you don't quite have the support yet. So don't view this as a time to give up. Don't quit. We want you to keep going. We want you to keep working. And that's what we've been doing since then. We've tripled the amount of votes we have from the community over 3,000 now. We've had so many public outreach events. And so we're getting more and more public support every day. And we do believe that next time that we do really start that push to the city council, it will get recognized. Yes. So moving on, you want something to happen by the end of the year. What are you doing to work with the city council, with the city government? So I'm having semi-regular meetings with city council members. I talked to Mayor Brett Lee yesterday and sort of talking to them and asking, you know, what would you like to see from the project? How can we get your official support? And so right now what we're working on is the arts community and organizational support. They agree that we have public support with over 3,000. That's more people that have voted than voted for city council members. So we have a large amount of support, but they want to see Davis institutions and things like that to show their support. And that's what we're working on. We spoke at the Davis Odd Fellows and lots of lots of support from them, starting to get support from members of the art community. And that is our plan of action moving forward. Yes. So looking at the flag itself, you've described a lot of symbols and significances. Could you just tell us about some of the symbols you decided to put into this flag? Well I think it's, I'm sure you could guess, the first obvious one is bicycle. You know, with the bicycling hall of fame, with the safest biking city in the country, it's necessary that the flag has some sort of bicycle representation on it. And then with all the different submissions we got, each one highlighted different things, you know, some focused more on our agricultural roots, you know, with our amazing farmers market and all the local farmers around. You know, you saw flags with greens and yellows, really emphasizing that.  You saw so many different great ideas from residents with the various symbols, because you know, a powerful flag should have lots of symbolism behind it. And that is what the flag should have. Yeah. So let's just imagine I'm in Davis resident and I'm reluctant to support your flag. I think it looks too much like my Rotary Club flag. I think it's 2UC Davis centric. How do you convince me that I should support having this flag throughout the city? So the 2UC Davis centric, I think it's unfortunate that sometimes there is this divide between the university and the city. Councilwoman Partita agrees with me on that. And this flag is, I think one of the great things about the design that we have chosen is with the university colors on it, it really can help demand that relationship. You know, the, you know, if you talk to business owners downtown, you'll see so many we support UC Davis student signs in their buildings. Because young people in the university, you know, they want to go out to eat. They want to go to the art stores. They want to go to the music stores.  And because, I mean, to be frank, the city wouldn't be what it is today without the university. And the reason why it's one of the most educated cities is because we have this amazing institution right here. And I don't, you know, some people view that as a negative and I think we should be celebrating that. We should be proud that we have this fantastic university. In terms of the Rotary Club, I'm not familiar with the Rotary Club symbol, but the bicycle wheel on the design has multiple meanings, one for the bicycle wheel. And also since it is a half bicycle wheel, it does make a D for Davis. So it really has lots of symbols impacting this one flag. Which a good flag should. Yeah, but going back to convincing reluctant, I know your majority of your response has been positive. But when you do encounter a negative response, when you see somebody reluctant to see this change when they're totally fine with the penny farthing flag, what is your main argument to convince our viewers? Well, our main argument is if it was a good flag, it would be flown. And I talked to people, you know, reluctant about changing it. The current flag, do you see it flown anywhere? I've never seen it flown downtown. I've never seen it on a patch. I've never seen stickers of it. I've never seen it on coffee cups. You know, if you talk to, when people come talk to me when I'm tabling downtown, and I say that we already have a city flag, people are surprised. We have a city flag. And that is a failure. That means the flag has failed its purpose in a symbol that people instantly recognize and are proud to fly. And the fact that it's not flown everywhere means that something needs to be changed. Don't you think that the penny farthing is recognized enough in the city of Davis? Absolutely. The penny farthing is a great logo. And in no way are we trying to bash the penny farthing. And the only difference is a logo and a flag are different things. Logos look great on pieces of paper, business cards, things that you're seeing real up close because they're intricate and have lettering and you can read them beautifully. But we can't confuse a logo and the flag as the same thing. A flag is meant to be enjoyed a hundred feet away from you, flapping in the wind. It's supposed to be simple, it's supposed to be well-designed and have lots of symbolism. If we institute just the penny farthing, although that's great symbolism and has great history within the city, unfortunately that's just one symbol. And a great flag should have many symbols. What are your next steps moving on going forward? Moving on, continuing to reach out to organizations and people amongst the city. Next month we'll be on KDRT and we're speaking with arts organizations, speaking with local firefighters and EMTs to try and get, you know, really our important workers behind it. And those are our steps to get, or also speaking to our county supervisor to get political support. So if we get, you know, political and organizational support it really shows legitimacy to the campaign. So that's what we're focusing on right now. And finally, if viewers want to know more, if they want to support you, if they're sure reluctant, where can they go to find out more about your project? So the best place to find information is our Facebook page, facebook.com slash our Davis flag. We have lots of great pictures, videos on there. And we've also recently started a letter writing campaign to the city council. City council wants to hear from the residents. So on there we have the sample letter. You can check out, edit it, put in some words that, why the flag really means a lot to you. And then email it off to the city council to show your support. Thank you Anna for joining us. And thank you for joining us in the studio for today's episode. We'll see you next time.

Can you give me something? I just want to see a little something. If you have anything that can help me further project my vision. I don't want to see it. I need to see a little bit at a time. A little bit?  You know he adds sensitivity to the sun. Exactly. He needs them on glass and they won't be sensitive.  Y'all had a good time tonight Cincinnati. I'm going to go to Cincinnati right here. First of all, salute to y'all for sitting through this heat.  This is the hottest show we've ever had. Y'all sat through this motherfucker the whole time.  On a hundred. Up top, we lay y'all Cincinnati. Cincinnati. See y'all fly. Loose leg, loose leg, show them what it be. Loose leg, loose leg, show them what it be. Loose leg, loose leg. Appreciate y'all Cincinnati. Man, I got the first computer. Man, but the show, man, we got a dope project, man. It's called Woke. It comes out September 9th on Hulu. The cast, obviously, you see we got Murph in there. We got Blake Anderson, man. Rose McGyver. C-sheer, then Zemeda.  We got voiceover actors in there. From Sedge the Entertainer, Eddie Griffin, J.B. Smoove, Sam Richardson, Tony Hale. You name it, Nicole Byron, man. We got a dope cast. The show essentially is just about a dude who, he don't really take sides politically. He kind of just wants to go to work, draw his comics, and go home.  And that kind of awakens his senses a little bit to the world around him a little bit, to get activated and start speaking on these things. But using his comic strips as a way to express that. The problem is, he might be going too far, you know, with what he's saying and what he's doing. In the meantime, we got all these inanimate objects talking to him. Like, Sedge the Entertainer plays a trash can who's talking to him about gentrification in the neighborhood and all this stuff like that.  Like, you know, it's crazy. So I think the universe is absurd, but it's dope. It's a dope way to get that message out there that this problem that we all face with race is a real thing. Yeah, man. I'm glad to see black people doing creative stuff and different things, man. We get to see it. And, you know, in this show, I mean, it's just a different type of show period from what I saw, like the animation. Like, it's almost that slightly real.  So, yeah, we looking to see what y'all bring it together.  I know you're being a lot of other stuff, but yeah, you know, that's from somebody that light up and watch it. Man, I see you guys smoking. I see you puffing, man. I got you. Yeah, yeah. Look, man, we were peeping the trailer. The show looks real dope when we're looking forward to, you know, actually getting to see the whole thing, man. Like, give us a sneak peek. What can we expect? Man, dawg. We got, like I said, the cast is sick. You got a lot of dope-ass people on this show. Right.  We got a trash can that could do it. We got a talking marker played by J.B. Smoove. It was a racist marker. There's certain parts of the show that my character is trying to just be normal and try to draw regular stuff. And he can't because the marker is like, nah, you got to go against the grain. You got to do this. You got to do that. And I'm fighting with my marker like, stop drawing this stuff. And then I end up putting this weird messages out there in the universe. So I don't want to give away too much, but it gets a little dark for this character.  And my character is just, he's on this weird journey mentally because he's suffering from a little bit of PTSD because he's never been in this position before in life with police. And this is his first time. He always thought they wouldn't stop me. Like, I'm black, man. I'm not like Team Murph. They ain't going to do it to me. I'm safe. My arm's not out. We're in a cowboy shirt, like Murph said. So I'm worried what they want to do with me. And then you guys obviously can speak more to what your character is doing. What they got you doing on there, man? It's a Cartier scene. What are you doing? No, no, no, no. Everything I was auditioning for in Chicago, I got to put a thug or the gangster, the goon. So I'm here now, man. I'm more lighthearted. My character is Clovis. So I want to keep his best friends and roommates. Yeah, Clovis. Clovis. They didn't have to do it like that, bro. They did be like, I'm Clovis. I'm Clovis. You know what? I'm going to tell you something about Clovis. Clovis is a smooth dude, bro. Clovis is a ladies man. Clovis got to wear silk pajamas. Hey, he a sneakerhead. So it's parts of that that's true to who I am outside of the character.  Lois, we all got them homies. You know, when you was getting ready to get on, you might...  Oh, it's my crib. It's my crib. Bro, you got broke pillows and shit, man. My shit's slick a little bit. Bro, you just got those flowers behind you. Who are those white people on those pictures too much? That's me, man. No, it's not. No, it's not. Is that green screen? Yeah. It's me, man. It's me. My shit's slick. I be watching HGTV. Don't get it. That's the last season of the Golden Girls Living Room. When you're done leading. Hey, but look, man. But no, Clovis is a cool, he's a cool individual. Like I say, man, he's a ladies man. But it's instances in there where, you know, Clovis is more about protecting the bag more so than anything. And Lamorne is the bag. And, you know, what he's going through, what Keith is doing, he's about to achieve that level of success where his homies can come along. But there's wokeness about the curve all that. And I'm about protecting that bag.  Let's get this money, you know. And that's completely opposite from what Blake's character is. Bro, that's already, I'm looking forward to it because it's funny already just off the name.  Definitely getting it in. We had so much fun on set. Just like these dudes are just naturally hilarious and just being able to like improv on set and spitball and like bring us to the characters was just, it was awesome. And that's a big shout out to Mo, the director. He just really let us be ourselves and, you know, breed a friendship on set. Blake, what's your character's name? My character's name is Gunther. Gunther? Bro, y'all killing it with the names, man. Hey, man, I didn't write this one like I did work on. Because I'll tell you what, when you start improv'ing, it's hella hard to remember character names. I'm all about using real names, dude. Right, right, right. But yeah, I mean my character kind of is like the spiritual advisor, I guess, whereas like COVID, uh, uh, COVID. You know what's happening out there. You know what's happening out there. Clovis is kind of like a realist and like approaches life. You know what he's saying, like get the money and then I feel like the Morn's character, Keith, comes to me for like a little more of a spiritual outlook.  I'm high a lot. Yeah. Elevated, lifted. Hey, we'll look here, man. Just know y'all got much love and support over here at the 85 South Show. Just know that just the opportunity to get in here with all y'all and just to get the vibe going, you know, before the premiere is just dope for y'all to let us in on this, man, because it's a lot of outlets that y'all could have chose to, you know, be a part of that. And we know something dope has come. It's Karl Wolk definitely needed in the time of what's going on right now. Something that could be serious and like hearty at the same time. So whatever we can do over here on the outside to make this thing a success, whatever y'all, man, September 9th is the premiere. We got to make sure we drop that a whole lot of times. Yeah, September 9th, man, all eight episodes. Let's go, man. Tell everybody. We're going to post the link to the trailer for all the 85%ers, you know, go download that and make sure that they up the date on what's going on, man. We're looking forward to it. When you talked about that pen, it reminded me the Daffy Duck cartoon in reverse. You know where Daffy Duck is. They only did it because he was black, so I can't wait to see it. Yeah, man. Hey, let me drop the social media one time. Big up to 85 South Show, too, man. Straight up, man. I see what y'all doing. I'm not wrapping this up.  T-merf my nigga. And if he gets rich, I'm straight. So make sure y'all hit the social media at Hulu, Instagram, at Walk Hulu, at Hulu, hashtag walk on Hulu, man. So yeah, we got the promo. You gotta get the promo in.  When is it? September?    Yeah. Yeah, yeah. What y'all shooting? What did y'all shoot today, man? Yeah, we shot in Vancouver. We shot in Vancouver. It's the smartest motherfuckers they ever make a show, man.  Yeah, man. Because it looked, the setting looks a little bit like San Francisco where the show's supposed to take place. And obviously it's a lot of technical issues. I'm sure just was cheaper to shoot in Vancouver. I'm almost positive of that. But you know, but Vancouver is dope, man. Aside from the weather, when you shoot in January in Vancouver, man, just don't do it. There are days where our characters got to have t-shirts on and start snowing outside. And they're like, all right, we's going to get this shot real quick. I'm like, no, we not. We're not about to get this shot. I don't want to die today. It's not that serious. So Vancouver is dope, man. You'll get a chance to go to Vancouver and get a place. But don't go in the winter. Don't do it. Ain't a lot of black people in Vancouver either. We was it. There is a lot of black people here. They're going to start dancing. There's a lot of black people left when you got here. Sorry. They French up there? That's French-Canadian? No, no, they got like, Irish accent. It's weird. I'm so sorry. They let me in but they look like they're not going to. They watch me the whole time. It's that real black. Should we let them in? We don't want another incident. Let them in. And you can't bring too many. If you bring like... You can't bring a leather. Yeah.  They sell them in twos. How are you going to have a leather? It's just like Walmart when COVID going on. One got to leave out for one to come in. Yup. Wipe it out. You're at the border. Just wait a second. Wait here, somebody's coming out. You leaving?  Like, you say in the show your cartoon is... Is there any real art in the show? Real art, yeah.  The guy who I'm playing is a real dude, man, Keith Knight. And he's sick. So he draws these comic strips. I got no tattoos, right? But I want tattoos. And I go, I know what I'm going to get.  And then I leave. I'm sorry, I've been doing this for years, right? So finally... Yeah, same... I want a butter... You flip through the whole... They draw it out. They sketch it out on your arm. They do all the things. Can you do this?  Hey, look at Marvin Gaye looking at you. My boy out in Atlanta is named Mya Bailey. Mya Bailey always...  I interviewed him back in the day when I was on BET.  And for years, every year I hit him up. Hey, man, I'm on my way down. I'm on my way down. And then last minute I go, man, I can't even make it. So now I'm going to get Keith, the artist, to draw... If we get a second season, to draw characters from the show. Do it for this one. Do it for this one. Do it for this one. Then you do it for this one, then the second season is going to make it happen. It's going to come. I'm going to get a tattoo. I'm going to get one on my ribs. They say that... Is that a good place to do it? Look on your face. That's painful. I heard that's painful. On the who? Back in the day. Break it up. Look at those commercials with Damien Lillard. Hulu does live sports and he always gets money poured down. If they pay me to get the tattoo... Hulu, I get Hulu across my forearm. Yeah, I would. How many game, one is you to do? Well, I mean... I get TBS on my forearm.  Oh, man. Man, dude, I really appreciate this, y'all. This is dope. We obviously worked hard on this show, man. And you guys, you know, in supporting the show. We want this show to be global. We want people to talk about it. We want people to just, you know, digest the show in the way it's supposed to be digested. It was just laughing. Just have fun. And if you get something out of it, you get something out of it. I did get something out of it. My research department was just asking about the cartoonist Keith Knight. How did you hook up with him? Was he on set? Like, when you were shooting your stuff? Yeah.  What's happening? He's not saying nothing. Well, creatively, that's a great place to be in.  So, it was weird a little bit, but it was cool. He was easy though. He was easy to be around, because he was just happy to have a show, and that his life was being talked about. So he was cool. He was like, y'all killing it. Whatever y'all do, I'm okay with. So he let me take liberties and do whatever it is I wanted to add to the character. So it was cool.   I see it. I'm drinking now. Hey, Blake be lit, man. I don't know. Every day on set, Blake was drunk. Every day. Blake be lit. Blake got a best friend in Canada. He don't really want to see no more. What do we work at, Blake? Damn, I don't know. If we go back, I do want free shots again. So I don't want to miss that. What's that? What's happening? My man's getting Blake lit every time, bro. Now I stop shots for the free. Is it the comedy club or the strip club? Which one was it? That's the talk we want to hear. Where was y'all at? They're cool with strip clubs. How are they different? How are the two shows different? The girls got socks on. The strip clubs. It's cold in Canada.  We got all footies.  Now you get the flu. The strip clubs in Canada, they wear socks. Oh, okay.  It's terrible. Hey, baby, put your clothes on. Get in there. It's holding here, isn't it? That is terrible, man. I don't know. Because I meet myself personally. I was always focused and I was working all the time. But I never actually went to the strip clubs.  I was always focused on the script. I let Murphy and Blake go and do all that. Boy, if you don't get your line out, it's true. I was just being... I was just behaving myself to be honest with you, to be quite honest with y'all brothers. Let me tell you something. Let me ask the group a question. Let me ask the strip club on many nights. Hey, let me ask the group a question.  And they wanted to know what was the Hulu experience? Like, you know what I'm saying?  What was it like working with Hulu and how did they treat y'all, you know, production-wise and stuff like that? For me, it was dope. For me, it was dope. You know, on the creative side, it was when we would talk to the execs that would come in and watch us film, they were hands off, you know what I'm saying? They knew the show, they greenlit. Well, they gotta be now. Yeah, well, yeah, now it's like we trust this y'all voice. I'm not going to tell you how to say what you want to say. You know what I'm saying? That's like me coming to y'all's show like, no, that's how y'all need to do it. Like y'all need to say it. No, you sit over there. So Hulu was very much so hands-off and input places where it needed to be on the creative side, you know what I mean? Helping amplify certain parts, throwing some money in here because we needed this or needed that. I think that's very important for a show to get that type of support. You know, and obviously they're pushing it right now. They're pushing it hard. And that was the plan before any of this stuff went down. You know, before all the unfortunate stuff happened in our country, that was always the plan. Was to go ahead and do a hard push. We were going to actually debut a lot later and bigger. But, you know, now was the time we all agreed that we should probably put the show out now. And they're extra supportive about it.  A lot of dope interviews, a lot of press, you know, a lot of coverage. We, you know, they're really excited about the show. A lot of times you'll work with, you know, I've worked with other networks before where they, you know, they say, oh yeah, we really like the project. Like the project, you don't see one billboard. You don't see no commercials. You get one interview maybe. And they're like, yeah, we really like the thing. And you're like, it don't seem like it. Nobody heard of it. You know what I'm saying? There's more time so, you know, people can know who we looking for and things of that nature. I don't want nobody to get left out, you know, we're doing it. This little official right here. The cast is dope. Y'all want to help run through the cast? I'll let you start. Shout out some of the supporting cast, too, man, because they'll be getting a whole lot of love in the bigger productions. If you remember that name. So let me run. You said the extras? Oh, my God. Murph, you know some of them. Go ahead and...  Wanna kill him? Won't get me. Yeah. No, man. Let's see. So obviously we got Blake Anderson. We got T Murph. We got myself. We got Sashira Zemeda from SNL. Rose McGiver from iZombie. We got Alvina August. She's dope. Let's see. We got Curt Long. Man, we got Cedric the Entertainer, Eddie Griffin, Cole Byer, Tony Hale, Sam Richardson. Let's see, Wes Studi, Jack McBrayer, J.B. Smoove. Damn. Why am I forgetting her name? Man, the cast is sick. The cast is sick. You did very well. You should be a politician, man. Yo. You brought her roses in iZombie. Let me tell you something else. Rose was also a power ranger, bro. That blew my mind, fam. She was a power ranger. She gave me all the stuff she did. I ain't kidding.  You were a power ranger, fam. See, Murph, what color? What color was she? I wanna say she was a yellow ranger.  She was a yellow ranger. Yeah, bro, a yellow ranger. Do you still got the morpher? I'm growing a cell. You still got one of these? You mean to tell me you were from bullshitting with me to hanging out with the yellow ranger? Yeah, bro. And she's dope. She's the best actor on our show. But she better than us. She cold. She cold. Maybe because she wasn't all in the strip club getting free drinks. No, I'm just playing. You can't go nowhere with Blake, bro. Any time you like out, bro, he gotta wrap his head. Because if the bros, bro, see his head, it's over with. It's not eating down. It's Jagermeister all day. Or in Canada, it's Jagger. Bunch of Jaggermeister. Oh, man, they all work everything. And Shannon Chan-Can. Shannon Chan-Can, I forgot. She's Cindy, my publisher. She played my publisher on the show. And she's dope. So, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I did it. I did it, you guys. I did it. Who sent you that message? Don't forget about Shannon Cooke. I don't want to say that the wrong way because it can come off racist. With one slip of one vowel. Let's just throw on it. Shaq is in it. We got Chapelle's in it. He makes it up. Everybody's in the show. Just started lying about who's gonna run. Eddie Murphy made a cameo. My dad finally showed up. He in the show. Finally back. He's back from the dead. I didn't know I did. He could come back. It was complicated working with the green screen and doing the comedy at the same time. Man, let me tell you something. We got lucky because what they did was they didn't put the animated... I think a couple times we had the green screen, but I think most of the time we had like the objects were really there and they had like puppeteers like my marker for example moving around and doing wild stuff they had a little wire hanging out with the remote control control. I won't let you do it. Don't give away none of the magic.  Bro, it's not about that. It's not about that. Green screen. Let them think it's real.  That's dope. Don't give away none of the magic. I was an actor. I did what I had to do. So you had a magic pen for that moment. So do you still talk with the pen?  Where is the pen now? The pen working on another movie. The pen still... I'm doing the story of Bob Ross. I played myself. That's my pen right there. Man, that's magic. Look at that. It's bending. It's a bendable pen, man. Hold up. Tell me a little bit more about this Gunther character, man. Yeah, man. I mean, he just kind of... goes along for the ride a little bit. Like, it's... I will say, if you want a spoiler, you will see me in braids. That's kind of cool.  Why Iverson, baby? Who braided himself? Who braided himself? Not too much of a damn, but he was roasting me on set like every day.   He had to keep them in, like, show back up with them, teamer.  This wasn't a one-day project.  Bro, who bought him a duray? You know, he was with the three-up white boys. Bro, these bitches are tight, man. No. How do they do this? They would take them down and redo them every day. So for a week straight, he would go home, have beer, come back, twist it up. Every morning he had to get twisted up. Oh, he was getting roasted. So he the Beyoncé of the group. Yeah. Absolutely. Absolutely. Me and Murph shared it, Barbara. He had his own crew doing his braids, picking out his afro.  They was getting blaked together. Ready to fall asleep in the chair. I got it. Hey, man, what does soundtrack sound like? Oh, man.  It's dope, because it's eclectic. It's all over the place. So no matter what type of music you like, we got it in there. Hey, we even got one of my songs in there.  The Little Morning After Pill. The Little Morning After Pill. It's out right now. The Little Morning After Pill. What? Yep.  He gonna be on Versus next week against Fetty Wap. You bullshitting at you for real? Nah. You got a song on there for real? I got a whole album out. I got a whole comedy album out. It's jokes, it's music, but I got comment on the album. You know what I mean? Like cats like that just...  Like his homeboy, me, comment. He can't buy it. Nah, I did a little something. I mean, I had to hold the album up because I ain't had my whole verse yet. You familiar with Rock Kim? Yeah. Yeah, man, I got the album. It's on Spotify, iTunes, it's everywhere. Hey, man. But dig this. I hope this is not the last time that we get to kick it off maybe a couple episodes into the season or some shit, man. We can get y'all back in here and, you know, catch up and see what, you know, see how y'all feeling about the reception and all that. Whenever y'all want us back, man, we, you know, anytime, anytime.  How y'all handling that part? What's the time for these a day, so what's that like? Dude, try 50. But this with you, y'all the only podcast that we're doing. Y'all the only long, our interviews are usually five minutes. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. What you trying to say?

Oh, right, now you're gonna flip. Look at that. He's gonna show you the song. He in the sauna right now. Oh, yeah, man. T. Murphy tried to come to my house, but he couldn't reach none of the light switches, so I just said to him, hey, how y'all feel about that shirt you got on? Look. T. Murphy. When the rest of your shirt coming in the mail, Murm? Hey, man, I'm livin' out here, baby. Then he got sleeves sold separately. What? T. Murphy has the body of the stepfather. Oh, man. I'm dressed like a cool stepdaddy, man.  I can already tell this show is gonna be dope because y'all already seem to have great chemistry with each other, man. And you know, he's like, we have a just a dope-ass concept.   I don't know.  I've been jumped so many times. No, it was... No, man. You know, it's important.    You know, this has been happening, so any way that I can be of assistance to add to the voice, I'm there for it for sure. Man, that's dope. Yeah, here we go. Yeah, Blake was an ally long before being an ally was cool. You know what I'm saying? Everybody else, we're an ally now. Blake been down with the car. Blake deep in the streets. Yeah, he won the original homies. You feel me? I'll take it.   Hey, I just peeped y'all's screen name on the side. Y'all wild as hell, man. Hung family? Y'all wild as hell.
