Globally Renowned: World Take Eyes on America đź‘€
Imagine the vast landscapes of the US, and compare it with Brazil's natural wonders as we explore the environmental struggles and governmental issues that the latter faces. We also highlight America's prowess in cybersecurity before taking a humorous twist with the odd phenomenon of cheese in spray cans. Our journey through cultural diversity continues as we celebrate the extensive exposure to global cultures within the US, and tip our hat to the brilliance of American stand-up comedy while acknowledging Canada’s significant comedic contributions.
Cultural identity in America is fluid and multifaceted, and we delve into its evolution and the ongoing fight against societal ills like corporate greed and Holocaust denial. We discuss the crucial late enfranchisement of African Americans and the influence of American hip-hop on global culture. Finally, join us as we underscore the importance of supporting independent journalism. Your contributions, no matter how small, help us bring you impactful stories and meaningful content.

Ahoy hoy.
Speaker 2:Oh hey, sir, Glad I caught you. Well, I hope you're not too busy. I just wanted to ask you a couple questions. It's an international survey. Is that okay? Sure, okay. How many times a week do you eat cheeseburgers?
Speaker 1:Less than one, okay, okay.
Speaker 2:Okay, okay, do you ride a horse?
Speaker 1:I have ridden a horse, but I do not and I am not currently riding a horse.
Speaker 2:Okay, okay. So now, what are your thoughts on how America meddles in other people's policies, or is that an issue for you and yourself in this country?
Speaker 1:It's some fucked up shit. I don't think we have the time to cover that. I'm sorry, sir.
Speaker 2:I'm sorry, sir. Hey, that was great You're a patriot, my friend for being a participant in our worldwide survey.
Speaker 1:Nonetheless, hopefully the Gestapo, the American Gestapo, is not at the door now that I'm here.
Speaker 2:Right, that's coming. Maybe, who knows, I don't know. Anyway, I'm not going to get all pessimistic over here and I'm really no, no, go America.
Speaker 1:Happy Olympics everyone. I am not watching a shred of it, but hey, yeah, I hope we do really well in pole vaulting.
Speaker 2:Yeah, for real, me too, Fucking. Yeah, exactly that's where we're at. I guess we support pole vaulters. Hey, no, I'm actually kind of into it this year. I'm going to break from the show already Because simply because, like my daughter Damara, she barely missed going to the tryouts for the Junior Olympics only over, like, basically address thing, and this is relatively new for her, but she's going to be doing Olympic stuff, so she did the All-American thing already. So next is, I guess, like more of the competitions where they bring people, like she just competed in one in Eugene where we're at the Duck Stadium where there are people from China competing all over the world there. So that already happened. So I'm kind of that's my stance on it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean I'd go see Damara compete. I don't know anyone in the Olympics, so I don't know. Right, I don't know.
Speaker 2:Right, I hope you would. Hey, you know what Most families can't afford to go watch their people at a lot of these events because it's so much travel, you know. So we'll have to do some watch parties if it ever gets that far, which I hope it does, as long as that's what she's going for. Nonetheless, views on America from around the world I feel like us as an American, us as American people, me and you, owen, we're the American folks, the average American man here, all right, but I mean Americans in general like we have a weird view of, like maybe, what the world thinks of us, and sometimes it's almost like I don't know. It's very, it's almost like I don't know, it's very. It's almost like they don't even actually know what the world feels about, like how we are or anything like that. So I feel like I was trying to I'm gonna try and shed some light on it. Overall, views of the US are more positive than negative. Across the 34 countries surveyed an abuse survey that I'm gonna bring up later median of 54% hold a favorable opinion of bring up later. A median of 54 hold a favorable opinion of the us, while a median of 31 have an unfavorable opinion. Polls are most likely to evaluate the us positively, so that's pretty cool. 86 hold a favorable view, though this share has declined seven percentage points since last year. That's kind of you know.
Speaker 2:I'm not going to get into too much of the other details on this, simply that, like you know, we do have some fans out there, man, and this poll that I'm referencing is the most official and it makes sense to me. It's kind of weird like Canada, only 54% of the people. Like us, 44, 41% was like a big right, like they actually don't. So then, uh, and that's considered our top fans, kind of these ones that I'm looking at, and this is the actual poll numbers. So this is what I'm looking at Poland 86% favorable. That's our highest, poland's, our, our's, our go-to. The other higher numbers on the percentages of people who love us are South Korea, at 77, ghana was 78, and then Israel, israel's, like right there with Poland guys. So that's where we're at with that. Anyway, that's how the world kind of looks at us.
Speaker 1:So I mean it's just so vague too. To me it's like people often confuse citizens with governments. You know, Like I totally support the Chinese people, the Russian people, all of the people. They go on and on but like the governments are who are doing everything, and then you know it's like, oh, they're suck this and that, like so there's got to be a bad person. It's just like no, no, they're probably just like you from a different country with yeah, so it's.
Speaker 1:I don't know the whole thing. I'm just like right, I will say, when I've traveled internationally, I've only been to Mexico as a youngster, italy once as a youngster, then Italy and London, but everyone was very gracious, like nobody. I'm the bumbling tourist, you know, can't speak Italian, really, and they're like oh no, it's okay, we speak. You know, they spoke perfect English, like everywhere. I just I felt like an idiot, but everyone was really kind and yeah. So that's my limited, limited experience and that's how I would treat anybody I encounter, from any nation, like, give them a chance. I'm not going to be like oh, you come from someplace where you're horribly oppressed, so now I don't like you, right?
Speaker 2:No, doesn't make much sense, does it no?
Speaker 1:No, it doesn't, but that's I don't know, it doesn't.
Speaker 2:But that's I don't know Anyway.
Speaker 1:So yeah, I just find it funny that it's like oh, they're bad. And it's like whoa, like really that runs the donut shop, like he's not a bad guy, I know.
Speaker 2:And based off what you just said. Now next in my research those are just kind of quick numbers. Okay, just throwing one out there 52% of Bangladeshians support the US, you know? Oh, thank goodness Resounding 80% of Turkish people do not. Okay, and same with Tunisia, apparently.
Speaker 1:So, uh, oh, wow, yeah, 87. Glad I didn't swim over from Sicily when I was there, because it's pretty close.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they do not care for us. Malaysia either, malaysia, huh yeah, australia is on that list too, bro. They're 60% negative, so they're on the high end of American hate. They basically they're not like freaking the Taliban or whatever is going on right now. I don't want to say anything, really. I don't want to get flagged or something.
Speaker 1:Well, but I mean Australia's full of criminals. So, oh wait, that was a long time ago, Right? I mean I'm sure there still are.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and they were all criminals of our people, like our descent, a collective Scottish, irish, danish, whatnots from yeah, so anyway, that's fine.
Speaker 1:The Danish have the best pastries out of that bunch. I have to say I've heard that I guess I haven't had many Irish or Scottish pastries. Does a Scottish pastry have like a goat head in it or something?
Speaker 2:I guess that's what they say what the hell?
Speaker 2:I digress Indeed. So, anyway, within this, I also took the time to find some quotes from within the survey, and they're pretty self-explanatory. Some are from people from the US and some are from people who moved to the US okay, from other countries, so immigrated, like you know. That's how this is we're USA, right, okay? So here's the first one.
Speaker 2:I was born in Europe and moved to the US as a young teen. The US gets assimilation really well. Like you become a partisan group fairly quickly, and there are many to pick from. In Europe, we had two boys in school, one from the US and one from India. Those kids got picked on for years and years. They never, ever were going to be considered to be one of us and never will.
Speaker 2:The US has this thing where, if you play a sport and win as a team, or get through something, something difficult together, like a math competition, ora, drive-by shooting I did that one or playing a band that sounded good, suddenly you're one of everyone else. I'd never experienced that before. It felt good. Nonetheless, though, I'm a master.
Speaker 2:I don't even know if this is a guy, gal, gal, guy, whatnot, I don't know but, um, it sounds, uh, very optimistic, and I tend to agree with that actually, because I've been in some situations where I felt very outcast, you know, in our country here, and then you just kind of go through it with somebody real fast, no matter what it is, and we're a very team-based thing, you know. So it's kind of weird that that's the truth, even though we do have a lot of racism in our country still and a lot of weird shit going on with politics at the moment and all that stuff. But I mean, in general, usually we're not quite like that. Number two that I thought was kind of cool was just this one, which I think you're going to like. It says I've heard from others that our air conditioning is top notch.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I was gonna say like it was. Was this your idea? I've heard that that there's not like air conditioning much, and I love me some air conditioning yeah, one of the greatest inventions ever. Oh, I know it. Apparently, ice cubes, too, didn't seem to be much of a thing, at least in Sicily. Like a guy said something I ordered a drink. He said something I ordered a drink. He said something Like, oh, americano, you might, yeah, I said, and I was like, yeah, I do. And there was. Like he said he only had Like two ice cubes, but he gave them to me. So, oh my god, two. That wasn't a huge thing. I will say what we got right, too, is keeping cheese Refrigerated, like, unless it's out and you're eating it because we went by it was sweaty, sweaty cheese dude.
Speaker 2:No thanks, I can't do it Exactly.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it had to be sitting out there, for I mean, I'm talking like I leave it out for minutes, right? Unless you know I did have a cheese tasting at the shop yeah, small event on Friday that you know I was out for. I tried some. I got another one out and put the one back in the fridge and just, yeah, rotated and yeah, it was just sitting out.
Speaker 2:And I actually. You know, owen, this isn't your complaints about other countries, my friend, Okay.
Speaker 1:No, but I'm just saying America got some stuff, right?
Speaker 2:Yeah, no, this is, and that is what this is too. So I mean like I'm giving a bit of perspective what this is too. So I mean like I'm giving a bit of perspective, uh, because I think the impression generally is is that everybody tends to hate us, which is not the case, but also there's other things. I was trying to stay away from the politics, but there's a lot of people from other countries who don't understand donald trump very well, and I'm just gonna like leave it at that. There's. There's only so much craziness, like I don't know, the only ones that had a high approval, higher approval rating, during his presidency was, uh, russia and china. So there we are, guys, um, nonetheless. So, beyond the air conditioning, oh thank, oh, this one's pretty good, thanks to one of our more badass presidents, teddy roosevelt. Our national park system is the gift that keeps on giving. And then this this is a follow-up onto that. This person commented on this. Okay, so, and they say a hundred percent.
Speaker 2:I'm an immigrant from brazil, and one of the things that always amazes me to no ends is the lengths the us has gone, has gone, to make its natural beauty accessible to regular folks. Brazil has incredible natural beauty, but 99% of it is completely inaccessible to the public. There aren't even roads to get there. The few parks that the public can visit are only accessible by hiring professional tour groups. It's really sad, so, and I do kind of agree with that. And then the fact that, like in Brazil, they probably just cut all the trees down and kill the cure to cancer and do all that fun shit too. And I'm not sure about that, brazil, but I feel like you'd be one of them logging the, killing the Amazon people for some reason, I don don't know. Governments, I mean.
Speaker 1:A lot of G's out there.
Speaker 2:Yes, there is. It's an amazing country too, man, I'd love to go. It's fantastic. I apologize to you guys for Portugal. That's all I'm going to say. Nonetheless, cybersecurity.
Speaker 1:I didn't have anything to do with Portugal, but I do feel bad that that little tiny yeah, that's what I'm saying tiny country took over such a giant, beautiful place. I still speak Portuguese there. It sounds very difficult to learn.
Speaker 2:I feel like it's the only other place besides Portugal that does, and I don't even know if Portugal does. We should have looked that up. Cybersecurity I just recently learned that the United States of America is the top gold standard in all things cybersecurity. I was actually a little surprised.
Speaker 1:That's followed up by this one that says putting cheese like products in spray cans.
Speaker 2:That's not okay. Did you faint? I don't know. I heard silence Sounds of silence.
Speaker 1:I don't know. I heard silence, sounds of silence. I just yeah, that's something I think you should be at least beaten for, if not imprisoned. Putting cheese product in an aerosol, that's disgusting.
Speaker 2:Let's move on to something that's actually positive, because I disagree with that. Okay, so this one is neat and it falls in line with one I read earlier Cultural assimilation. Pretty much anything you can think of from anywhere in the world, we've got it here Somewhere Mexican, japanese, chinese, nigerian, korean, french, etc. If you like food, music, literature, religion or whatever you can find, it's here and here's, outside of national parks. Yep, this is my favorite thing about moving here from Europe. I love getting exposure to and learning from so many cultures different from my own. It's expensive to travel to other countries, but I can get a sense of it now in my own backyard. So, apparently, like this person feels more included in other cultures from. I can totally relate to that, growing up in Southern California. Yeah, there's just Like this person feels more included in other cultures from.
Speaker 1:I can totally relate to that growing up in Southern California. Yeah, you know, there's just so much different in it. Yeah, it isn't. Oh no, that's different. That's something in Montana that I've kind of it shocked me still, having been here 20 years is that people are like I'd never go anywhere else, like this is the best. It's like okie dokie, have you been to Ortizia? Probably not have fun in Mediocre Falls. But, yeah, I get it, man, but yeah, yeah, that was. You could walk down the street and feel like you're in a different country.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:In a few major US cities that I've been in in an awesome way yeah.
Speaker 2:Portland's like that a lot. Yeah, portland's very, yeah, portland's very, man it is. It's like you definitely can go into a grocery store and hear six different languages. You know what I'm saying. It's a thing, okay, so here's one, and I'll end it with this, because, oh, there's two, I have to go Three. Damn it. Okay. So let's get through these kind of quicker, because we're turning this into a thing. I love it, man. So I did love this one too, and I think you're going to like this.
Speaker 2:As a European, my answer to this is stand-up comedy. Male, female, white, black, whatever you mention, america has just the most incredible people in the world of stand-up. I feel and yeah, I've never really. I mean, aside from the fact that a lot of good comedians come from Canada guys Just saying yeah, very true, yeah, I would put them like twinning with us. Just saying yeah, very true, yeah, I would put them like twinning with us, because some of the biggest achievers in comedy from, like you know, our generation, I guess they did come from Canada. They don't have no—you know who Canada doesn't Not as much stand-up really though, right Right.
Speaker 2:Well, like sketch comedy and—.
Speaker 1:Right right, right right.
Speaker 2:But nonetheless— Skits in the Hall was brilliant. Oh my God, yeah, that is. And Mike Myers is Canadian, isn't he? Yep, chris Farley, he'd go on. There's a lot of them. No, chris Farley's not, was he Are you sure? No, oh, tell me then, pretty certain he's not. Oh, I know how you can find out Google. I'm doing it real quick, okay.
Speaker 2:Where are the sites. John Candy oh, damn it, maybe that's who I thought of. Chris Farris, they're both very large, jolly deceased Canadians. Canadian, yeah, I'm almost positive he is. Bro, oh no, damn it, I think you're right. Michigan or something? Yeah, I feel like you're right. Madison, wisconsin, which makes sense.
Speaker 1:I knew it was somewhere in the Midwest. Hey, that's a really cool town. But yeah, God rest to both of them. But yeah, no, Canada does have some. Leave Dana Carvey Okay, Bro, but I could be wrong on that too. But yeah, I was pretty sure Farley wasn't. You know he's close, Like that's getting up there.
Speaker 2:It's not the same thing. Okay, it's right up. No, it is not the same thing.
Speaker 1:I'm aware you don't need a passport. Oh no, I'm from Madison. It's okay, you know, it's the same thing, Like no, I know that's not how it works.
Speaker 2:They just throw cheese at each other.
Speaker 1:Or whatever. How is Canadian cheese I have?
Speaker 2:no idea. Cold, cold, yeah, oh no. Okay, canadian cheese is cold, right? Hey, that was a good one, though. You know I like that Because I don't know, I can't think of even any comedians that besides Ali G. He's from somewhere else and he's pretty funny. There was that English guy that everybody thought was funny for British or whatever the fuck Russell Brand. Everybody thought he was hilarious. I don't really care for that guy. Personally, I haven't seen much. Monty Python is, oh yeah, yeah, vintage Yet again, kind of like sketch style comedy that you know, there's a lot of shorts put into one theme. I feel a lot of times with Monty Python, yeah. So here's another one that was great. This is I've only put this one in here because we both know something about this and finally, turning our flag into articles of clothing. That's like what this person's like. Turning our flag into articles of clothing All right, guy, that's illegal for one. Know the Constitution and the flag's's million rules, right, owen?
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, that's definitely a no-no. But rodeos and I don't know what else, that's all I can really think of. That's just saturated Garth Brooks concerts, I guess. Oh my god, draped in flag American flag Like not knowing. Yeah, I wouldn't think they would do that if they knew it was actually like an insult or like a disrespectful gesture.
Speaker 2:Right. And also it's like this too you know the guy, hey guy, you guy out there wearing American flag pants. Okay, do you not think that you're not dragging those on the ground in any way? Or something like that, just pointing something out to you? And it's also, it's actually technically against the law to wear an American flag as clothing, like in any way, putting it on you, whatever. And you know that probably made sense at one time and actually like there was something that I read somewhere where this person was like I can't believe that they do that, that they can kind of deal, and that was a comment that I read eventually too. But the last one this ties in with your one shit and we have the most Olympic medals. So Olympic King Sounds like an American to me. What I mean? I have other shit, but I think we did pretty good. Holy crap.
Speaker 2:I didn't even get into my other material. There was some things where they did some interviews with people in Turkey and basically, at the end of the day, they fucking hate us. The only thing that the people could get them to concede to was that we were the elite economic power, you know. And then Poland is above everybody else, poland's like even more so now. Apparently, like that was because I read something that was kind of after the poll that I was going off of and, yeah, I know right, poland, poland, yeah, they polled the polls Right, the Pew poll.
Speaker 1:No, the polls. That's what they're called. Polish people are Poles.
Speaker 2:Who's on third? Literally Just joking. Anyway, whatever, insert bong, holy shit. Oh yeah, so the Polish people, big fans, but apparently it jumped to like a fucking 98% approval A, and a lot of that has to do with the fact that Poland borders the Ukraine and like they're like holy fuck, if it wasn't for you guys, this would be a mess. And also the Polish people, okay, where did World War II start? It was Austria, and Poland's right fucking there. Man, poland was like what? The first country to fall, wasn't it to Germany? I?
Speaker 1:think that's correct. Yeah, I'm not 100%, but that definitely sounds right. They sure fell yeah.
Speaker 2:Well, what did you have done For Poland? Yeah, and here we are making.
Speaker 1:No, I didn't say that, but it's like, yeah, they sure got Right. F. But it's like yeah, they sure got fucked with. I would have had a Polish sausage and mustard.
Speaker 2:No shit, and you know everybody. I don't know what your views, american people. I'm speaking out for the countries that we should maybe be more appreciative of, france, for example. I mean, I know people's feelings on France, but there's a long-running thing here in America, for some stupid fucking reason, that French are just wimps. You know because you surrendered in World War II. I want to put that fucking shit into perspective for you guys. Imagine it if, basically, this would be the equivalent if Russia came over to America in a bunch of flying saucers and just started bombing the shit out of us and we couldn't do anything about it. Nothing, absolutely nothing. That's what happened to France, man.
Speaker 1:That's not fair to put that. You know, yeah, they didn't have many, any options. We're talking about many Like they were. Yeah, they had no options.
Speaker 2:I mean there's all those jokes and they're funny when Al Bundy says them but I don't think Al Bundy is supposed to be a representative of actual, you know, yeah, historical knowledge. Right, hilarious, yeah, just funny. But it was a thing for a while and, um, you know, I appreciate you world, even serbia, you know, that's a, that's a country that we had all the people out there like that's you.
Speaker 1:That's exactly right, it's cool. It's cool to be proud of where you're from or where you call home now, but it's really the people around you and everybody around the world that are just trying to get through this shit and enjoy as much as they can, just like you.
Speaker 2:Yes, I'm totally with you on that and I can agree with you more. These groups that we've formed didn't always exist. People Like our racial makeup, our countries, like all this stuff. It's all pretty brand new and it's ever-evolving, you know. So please don't get too hung up on like one ideal or anything. You should always have like a moral code, and it's okay to be proud of where you're from. But here's another thing guys Like, if you're from America, the rest of the world thinks we're fucking nuts because of how proud of our heritage we are from other countries. Instead of saying we're American, which we everybody like that I like we're Americans. Huh, we were born in America. If you're born in the fucking country, it makes you that country.
Speaker 1:That's exactly what we did, but we're still immigrants because I remember Treg, friend of the show. Yeah, hopefully contribute here again soon sometime.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:But he said that Native American posted on when there's all immigration, this, and that that he just posted oh, america, the only place where immigrants can call other people immigrants, unless you're a full-blooded native. Like don't you know? They're like indigenous Americans, like there's no way around that. But yes, I very much am an American, but I realized that my ancestors had to get here.
Speaker 2:Yeah, maybe that's the acknowledgement of it, that the rest of the world because I was going to kind of touch on that too Like the rest of the world, because I was going to kind of touch on that too, the rest of the world maybe they don't get the aspect that like, yeah, our cultural identities that we came from, because us as Americans, as we know it, didn't have that cultural identity. It was truly brand new in that way and it's unfortunate all this shit that had to happen to for this to become what it was truly brand new in that way and it's unfortunate all this shit that had to happen to for this to become what it was. But throughout all that, like, if we could just fucking figure out a way to keep people's heads a bit more level and hope for no corruption type of stuff like that, you know it's, it's a good check and balance. Amer America's a pretty good system in the way of a government at this point, because if you were to look back in history, man, it's insane the differences.
Speaker 2:Hey, gen Zers, out there I want to give you a fun fact of how much shit's even just changed in America over the past 50 years. But did you know that up until like what, 1969, black people couldn't vote All right, because I've heard you. I didn't know the exact year, but yeah, something ridiculous. Yeah, it's like 69 or 70. So there's a lot of things like that. I know I should have fucking, but I'm just pointing out to things that there's like because I hear people now kind of in America, guys, hey world, I'm going to fucking scare you real fast, or like UK listeners, but it's pretty some of these people out here that are a bit right, they're really pushing this that the Holocaust never happened, stuff, and I really am anti that.
Speaker 1:So I'm definitely speaking out on it. I've been to a couple Holocaust museums yeah, no, that's it. Couple Holocaust museums yeah, yeah, no, that's. It's just insane. Yeah, I don't even want to.
Speaker 2:Anyway, hey, on another note, though I'm just trying to point some shit out give like maybe, because we're just two dipshits in America, hopefully we can give some other dipshits in America and then you know, and around the world dipshits. You know our perspective.
Speaker 1:We aspire to high intellect contributors. Obviously, if everyone's referred to as a dipshit Like, oh no, like poet laureate, nah, he won't do it. We need a dipshit, oh, I don't know, like interviewing someone, a local dipshit, right.
Speaker 2:Well, we just need Penske to listen once, I'm going to tell you that much. He'll be on board, bro, we can talk. Dante, you know I love that. Anyway, yeah, all right bro. Hey, good talk. And you know, at the end of the day, people, you know, they like us, we like them. It doesn't have to be so crazy.
Speaker 1:This isn't Facebook, guys All right, and again, I love this country. I especially love the people that have fought. You know some personal friends, but people I've never met that have made it so cold and I can see or voice our opinions Right. I do love the diversity in people. Yeah, it's amazing, just the diversity in general, the geography and everything. This is an awesome place, like many awesome places. It gets fucked up by corporate greed and all that, but yeah, we could go down that rabbit hole for weeks, but still I'm happy to wake up here and go on about my day Right and I thought it was just kind of fun to try to figure out like, hey, this is some what America does.
Speaker 1:America got hip hop rights too. Oh my God Rapping. It's like, well, that's something we can go on forever, but it's like that's a, that's a King. It's been adopted by other places, which is cool, but it's like that's a very American treasure. Yeah.
Speaker 2:This great land. You're welcome world. While you're at it, check me out, Colt Drain, I'm everywhere. Listen to some music.
Speaker 1:Check out one for the summer. It's a good day for it. It's cool in the winter. Check out a lot of other stuff, but summertime's short. Yeah, I in the winter. I mean check out a lot of other stuff, but that's summertime short. Yeah, I'm with you, enjoy it.
Speaker 2:Alright, man. Well, hey, everybody out there in Podcastlandia, how about you check the website, check our show notes for the subscription link, because we do need some help sometimes Because we want to bring you this hard-hitting, independent journalism. That's the big point. Nobody's trying to get rich over here. Unparalleled, hard-hitting journalism, right? I mean, like, I don't even know, I don't even want to know how much you guys pay for what a month. But you know, five bucks a month ain't too bad. And, like I said, I need to double-check this because I haven't looked, but I think there might be an option for $3 too. So I'll definitely try to set it as low as possible, because I'm not trying to do it like that. It's more just so we can do some fun stuff. But, uh, and help people, that's actually it Just try to do something neat, all right, anyway. So, uh, I will, uh, hey, bro, good show.
Speaker 1:Indeed Much love everybody.
