What If Success Is Mostly Community

The Cliffhanger Gets Answers

SPEAKER_00 0:00

This week we answer the questions. Did we make it? How did we make it? How did it go? Everybody wants to know. Now, just how do I know? Well, because last week's cliffhanger resulted in a lot of questions. So this week we give the answers. That and more on this week's episode of Share the Struggle Podcast. Let me tell you something. Everybody struggles. The difference is some people choose to go through it and some choose to grow through it. The choice is completely yours. Which one you choose will have a very profound effect on the way you live your life.

Week 315 And The Comfort Battle

SPEAKER_00 1:30

What it do, what it do, what it ha Diddy. Good low. Almighty. Am I still excited to be back with you? Oh waity, it's true. It is damn true. Why? You might ask. Because I love you, Boo. Episode 315. And I'm so excited to be back with you. Oh it's true. Oh, it's true. Girl, you know it's true. Episode 315. This is one of those challenging shows, one of those shows where you'd rather just end the streak and go to bed because you'd be struggling, you're tired, it'd be late, you'd be sweepy, you were just snuggling on the couch with the baby. All those things add up to a recipe of comfort, and that comfort results in breaking the streak. And unfortunately, for my comfort zone, here I am recording in the Girage. Windows open, little rain coming down. You hear it ting tinging on the windows. Y'all hear it? Maybe, maybe not. Episode 315. That means that for 315 consecutive weeks we had gathered here in holy matrimony. Well, kind of went off on that one. Maybe that was a bit strong. But 315 consecutive weeks, thank you to all my day ones, my loyal ones, the ones that have been here since July 2020. That's right, six years in the making. I love you, I appreciate you, I thank you, I acknowledge you. To all my new ones, I welcome you and I accept you into this positive tribe that's blossoming a positive vibe. We've got new listeners this week from Plover, Wisconsin, from Middlefield, Connecticut, McKinleyville, California, Saginaw, Michigan. Might have said a couple of those last week. I don't really know, but I want you to know. I love you and I appreciate you.

Trailer Fix Under Pressure

SPEAKER_00 3:35

And last week's show, speaking of last week, I unintentionally, intentionally, allegedly created a little bit of a cliffhanger because when I recorded the episode last week, y'all didn't know if I was gonna make it to the show. Truth be told. If I try to recall the scheduling for last week, mind you, I'm super, super sleep deprived, or I'm trying to catch up on sleep at this moment, and I'm gonna celebrate an achievement in a moment. But I just kind of want to bring the scene back to last week. Last week, um, returning from the fair on Monday morning, on Tuesday at 5 a.m., getting up, bringing my mom to work, coming home, and then uh recording the podcast, and then getting to work, waiting for product to show, not knowing if I was going to have uh a trailer repaired or a trailer to rent because the bus was still not um repaired. So I had all those cliffhangers for you. Uh the product showed on Tuesday, and I worked my Batuckis off. Uh, I think it was probably 12:30 to 1 a.m., right around that range on Tuesday evening that I uh finished some product for the evening or called the quits for the night, and uh wrapped it up, went to bed, and got up nice and early, did some barn chores, and went right back to work. In that time, I received a phone call from uh from some great friends from Doug and his dad, uh who now own Eminem Garage right here in Arundel. That uh Doug, who is a loyal listener, he's gone back and listened to every single episode of the podcast. I know he's listening right freaking now because that's how I got out of the situation I'm in. Because Doug was listening and he called me and he said, Man, I have a solution for you. I know just how to fix that trailer. We do it all the time. And I ran the axl on over to his dad and he looked at it and he said, This looks like a factory defect. I don't think this axle was ever completely welded, and uh, he strengthened it up, he cleaned it up, he uh welded it up, I painted it up. So on Tuesday, I got up in the morning and um went back to production. I started making a bunch more product, and I gave uh Doug's dad some more time to uh put the axles back together to lube the hubs and or grease the hubs and all that good stuff, and then I ran over and um got the axle. I had already bought new shackles and everything for it, or new uh U-bolts, that type of stuff, um the day previous, and um I slammed everything together by myself. Um, wifey was getting other things done to get ready to go. It's a lot more moving parts when you have a two-year-old and you're trying to navigate um all it's gonna take to be on the road to be away from home for about a week. So I'm in the driveway fresh off of uh making clothes to slamming an axle back together. Then I had to go ahead and unload the vehicle I used for the fair a few days prior, unload all that merchandise into the trailer, which I didn't want to load be previously because I didn't know if it would be repaired in time. So I had to make the whole shuffle, you know, shuffle rooney, syphilooney. Did I say syphilis? That was weird. Why would you say that? That's not even it's not appropriate. Shuffle Rooney, shuffle Rooski. I I don't know how I put those together and came up with syphilis. Wow. You need to go to bed. Hmm. Anyways. That took a lot longer than expected. But you end up taking another hour or so dumping one um you know vehicle, loading another, hitching everything up, and then um I ran and took a shower because I literally was just you know when you just sweat straight through all your clothes, looks like you just were in a rainstorm fully clothed. That's what I look like. I went, jumped in the shower, the wifey finished loading some things up from the kiddo and for herself, and and then we hit the road. And here's where you add another interesting layer to this. So here we are, number one, sleep deprived. I've been on this adrenaline rush, this um crazy just whirlwind to get through the schedule that I built for myself. And I admit I had full intentions of taking my calendar out, looking at all my events, doing all the mileage, the back and forth, all the moving parts, and to be able to come on here and have this fancy spiel. But uh I couldn't locate my calendar, and then I lost the motivation to do so. Full frontal confessional, hand on the Cabela's catalog, Beady Little Eyes to the Sky, The Truth from the Sky. I just didn't have the mustard in

Eight Week Grind And Burnout

SPEAKER_00 8:50

me to make that sandwich. Okay. I apologize, maybe I'll do it again, and then I'll have no potency because we've already talked about it. But I just had um leaning into this, going into this event, that was number eight. Eight events, eight weeks on the road, two months, every weekend being on the road at a new location. But then when you're home, you are recovering. And when I say recovering, I don't mean sleeping. I mean you are figuring out what's been sold, figuring out what to order, what you can find, what you can afford, what can show up on time, make product all week until you have to go again, get caught up on other custom things you might have to get caught up on, and then hit the road again. That means that for eight weeks I have not had a day off. For two months, I'm working seven days a week, two months. Now, as a small business owner, as an entrepreneur, that's not uncommon in general, but I've been going full send for two weeks, just trying to make it. So at the end of this, going into this last event, I realized how lost I am, how much my world is spinning, how much I don't know what I'm behind on, I don't know what I'm caught up on. I don't know if I've missed payments, if I've made payments, if I owe payments. I don't know, man. Things are just spinning way too hard. And I realized next year I'm probably not gonna take this schedule the way that I did this year, but I put myself in a position where I said I need to make it. And uh, this is the recipe that uh we wrote up to bake the cake of success in 2026, so it is what it is. So here I am trying to make it to our last event of this eight-week run. And it's an event that we look forward to, it's an event that we get to spend some time with our extended family, with Paisley's uh godparents and all of our loyal family that we've made out in the Syracuse, New York area. So we were super stoked about that. So you have all that, but you have this adrenaline that you've been on on go, and you guys know all the um mishaps that have taken place in the meantime and all the struggles we've gone through to

Racing The Clock To Check In

SPEAKER_00 11:05

get to this point. So we get in the truck and we start rolling, and I look at the clock and I said, Man, this we're leaving a lot later than I expected. And I pull out my contract, and my contract says, You need to be here and set up by 8 p.m. or you can't vent. And uh I'm doing the bus math, and it's telling me I might be there by eight o'clock if I don't stop very much. Like a couple stops of fuel, that's all you're gonna have, fool. So there's no way I'm going to be able to uh set up tonight, but I need to at least get to my spot, maybe put my shell up. If they don't kick me out, I can put the shell up before it gets too dark, get the heck out of there, go back in the morning, make it happen. So I text my point of contact and tell them we have some mechanical problems and we're on our way. We should be there around eight o'clock. And her response to me was, I'll be here till eight. So we are we are pushing, we are pressing. This is a six-hour drive with a two-year-old, and strategically, every opportunity we get, we use about a quarter of fuel, maybe half a tank of fuel. We will pull over, get gas, get the baby out, let her walk around, explore rest stops, maybe have some lunch, things like that. I didn't have time this time, and she um fell right into a nap, so we just put the hammer down and started motoring, and we ran the tank just about empty and um pulled in and fueled up and hit the road again. And we were just uh motoring down. We hit some construction, we hit some accident traffic, and um we we had about a 15-minute 10 to 15 minute window um where we were gonna make it there and be able to check in. And then eventually we got about a 20-minute window. Then we ran into some traffic and we started losing a little bit more off that window. When we had about, I'd say maybe 50-ish miles to go, I had about a quarter tank of fuel in the Yukon, and it started chewing fuel pretty damn good. We had some um some elevation, some high points, we're climbing mountains, we're pulling trailers, we are deep into the RPMs, and we are chewing fuel. And at this point, I've already have um put in nearly $200 in fuel for the day. So you would think that should be let's call it enough. But I'm watching the needle and I can see it chewing way too fast. And we start to get into a window where we know we can make it on time if I don't stop for fuel. When we are about I keep trying to remember this, maybe 15 miles out, 15 to 20 miles out, my gas light comes on, and in this truck, it does not give you a mileage estimator whatsoever. It just says seek fuel. That's all it does. Typically, in your um your your light comes on, a lot of vehicles are 20 to 30 miles in that range, and I know that I'm pulling a trailer. Light comes on I want to say we were somewhere between 13 and 20 miles away. May I I feel like it was 13-ish miles away. And uh Ali starts pulling the owner's manual, like we're not even to an exit yet, so we're trying to determine, and I actually think the next exit coming was going to be the exit that we would need to use. So it's not like we're jumping off the interstate to make a special trip. This is the one that we're going to need. She's checking the owner's manual, not finding anything, checking Chat GPT, they're trying to give mileage estimators, and those things are all telling us, yeah, you're within range, you should probably should be able to make it. But um I'm thinking to myself, if there's 20 miles in the tank when the light comes on, I'm maybe gonna get 10 miles based off of hauling a camper. I'm gonna be a little bit short, but I don't need it right this second. As we're trying to um process all this and we're trying to get off the interstate, I miss the exit. The exit goes off and it splits into two, and I take the wrong one. And as soon as I do, I said, Well, I'm screwed here. There's no chance that we're gonna make um that we instantly added another like five minutes to the trip, and I said, I'm not gonna make it by eight o'clock, and we need to get gas. And that exit, I want to say

Running Out Of Gas Mid Exit

SPEAKER_00 15:50

I went a mile or two down and started to pull off the exit and lost all power. Legitimately lost all power, knew in that moment that I ran out of fuel, pulled into the breakdown lane on the uh off ramp of the exit. Thankfully there was plenty of space there, and then just had that mini little meltdown. All the all the pressure, all the hustling, the bustling, to have it all fall apart for one childish mistake of running out of fuel. Now a lot of people could look at it and say, hey man, you went five miles when your light came on. What do you expect? Like that's it's not your fault. Like you went five freaking miles when the light came on. Like, what are you gonna how how do you predict that? I don't think I could have even made it to a gas station in five miles. Whether I got off the exit immediately, there was no gas stations when my light came on for me to make it to an exit, even before missing the exit, there was no gas station. There was none. And as mad as I was at myself for missing my exit, the next day I realized it was a blessing. Because had I taken the right exit, it was gonna be even more of a shit show. There was no gas stations, and when I was on that section of road that I should have been on, there was construction, there was cones, or there was lanes shut down, and I don't know how I could have even pulled over. By the time I ran out of fuel, I would have been basically broke down, stuck in two lanes of highway because the third lane was was um was shut down for road work. When you lose power, you you start losing steering and everything else, and you can't get out of the way, and I'm trying to navigate a Yukon and a trailer through cones, through the and I'm not talking about just the small plastic cones, so I'd run those over. I'm talking about the big round barrels for me to get in there out of the way, tucked in, um could have been close to impossible. It was a blessing that I missed my exit and I ran out of gas, where I did. Truly a blessing. Didn't feel like a blessing in the moment. And I was some pissed off at myself for the fact that I said, I don't know when I've run out of gas. Like, how long has it been since I ran out of gas? Was I in high school? Did I just get my license? Or have I ever run out of gas? I don't even know if I have. I'm 44 years old, man. That's some embarrassing shit. When

Friends Show Up With Real Help

SPEAKER_00 18:30

when you gotta text a family, when the wife's gotta text over and say, uh, yeah, we're out of fuel, and then you just gotta sit around and be at the mercy of uh of friendship to figure things out. I'm gonna talk about the next blessing, and that's the fact that um we were talking to the godparents. We have a uh an endless chat that goes between Zalance and Jen 247, and Allie was, you know, there were 600 messages in on my ride here. So the fam's at a surprise birthday party. Ali sends the message that we're out of fuel. At that moment, as lucky as we we could have it, Kip's headed home, he's at the party. Lance tells him and he says, I got it, I'm on it. He goes and gets a gas can, he goes home, gets a gas can, gets fuel, gets to us, and refuel up all within about 20 minutes. I have to call my contact and tell her that I'm getting gas and I'm on my way. We pull into the fairgrounds 30 minutes late, and they kept half the staff to show us where our location was. So as soon as you pull in, they're like, Oh, this is the guy, here's the guy, he made it. Yeah, that's that's comforting, that's fun. And uh, yeah, so they bring me to my spot, much better spot, big, big upgrade over where we were last year. We back the trailer in, drop the trailer off, we go to uh Lance and Jen's house to uh try to unwind, and then now I know that I have to be there first thing in the morning. The gates open at 8 a.m. I need to be open before 8. I couldn't set a single thing up, so that adrenaline keeps going, right? I don't know what time it is that we go to bed, if it's 11 or 12. I don't I don't even remember the time frame, but then I gotta get back up around 5, take a shower, and get um ready to to go, to be to be awake to go make things happen. And um I get

It Takes A Community To Build

SPEAKER_00 20:30

there, and I'm just gonna say this, and there's gonna be there's a common trend, there's an underlying trend here, and um it's about support and it's about help, love, friendship, and family. And uh you're gonna continue to hear this. When I talk about Doug and his dad, when I talk about Lance and Jen, when I talk about Kip, these things all continue. Because then on uh Thursday morning, the first day of the show, six in the morning, I'm rolling in and uh Kevin Balanski is sending me a message saying, Hey, um, are you here? I'm ready to set this thing up. I get a picture of the trailer from Lance saying, Is this where you're at? And by the time I get to my spot, Lance, Kevin, Kip, they're all waiting to help me set up. Mikey Brown comes over. I got a four-man crew helping me set up. We had that tent built and set up with the fridge running and ready to go before the gates open for spectators to come in. Then it was all a matter of just sales, and I sat down at that moment and I instantly just felt so freaking beat. My body did realize you did it, you've come this far, you've come through all of it. All the all the events leading up to this one, and then all the chaos. You know, breaking the trailer, using a different vehicle, getting the trailer repaired, being late. Running out of fuel, all of those things. And then you start to think about all the people along the way that have helped to make this possible, and all the people that were impacted in just helping me get to this event. Let me just kind of spell this out a little bit. My mother takes time off from work, stays home, and handles the chores for me and the wife so that we can hit the road. My wife takes time off from work. We take the baby and hit the road. We had broken a trailer that we borrowed from a great friend. Then to have another great friend and his father step up and help me to repair the trailer all in a very quick time, putting everything else on their schedule off. When I went over and talked to him, we said, Hey man, I got two weeks of work. I schedule two weeks ahead for me to turn this around for you in one day. Uh, this isn't gonna be easy. And it wasn't easy, but it was still done. And I want to share their business info um on my um notes for this as well, for this episode. But I started thinking about that. I'm reaching out to um to Patty from Syracuse and asking her to hold up for me. She's asked having multiple people stay late for me. On our way there, we run out of fuel. Kip stops everything he's doing, gets a gas can and fuel, meets me on the side of the interstate. We fuel up and we go and make it happen. To then go to Lance and Jen's house where they open their house up to us and allow us to stay there for the whole remainder of the week, rent-free, amazing host with an amazing time. It's their their anniversary weekend, their special weekend, and they opened their house to us. To then show up on Thursday morning to have Lance, to have Kip, to have Kevin, to have Mike all there to help set me up to get things going. It's unbelievable. I've said it so many times that that old adage, it takes a village to raise a child. Well, I'm gonna tell you right now, it certainly takes a village, it takes a community to build a brand. And when I say community, I break community down to common unity because we are united by common beliefs and values, and I love the people in my community. I would not be who I am or where I am without all the people that have been there for me this entire way. Absolutely incredible. I'm just sitting back as I just share the story, no notes, unfiltered, off the cuff, late at night, just re repeating what's happened, just sharing the facts, the truth, and realizing, man, you are loved by so many, you are supported by so many, without so many. I don't complete any of the things that I was able to do this week. While we're on this subject, I'm just going to um also mention that on the last day of Syracuse Nationals, our whole extended family from New York, the whole crew came rolling up to uh my vendor booth and uh with a gas can. With a brand new gas can with a bunch of messages from everybody with some cash zip tied to the handle, an emergency fund. Man, that was I'm telling you. Everything about it was funny, and um and I laugh my ass off and I still do. But when you think about it from a different point of view, you teared up thinking about it. I don't know how I got so lucky. I don't know how I got so fortunate. And it always blows my mind to think about how this is possible and how this came together. I met Lance and Jen when I was at Bentley Saloon giving away a motorcycle. That turned into a friendship that turned into a family. They introduced me to their friends and their family, and they accepted me as friends and family. Lance and Jen are now the godparents of our daughter. All these layers of the onion as you peel it back. Doug went to school with my wife Allie. He started listening to the podcast, and here we are. He called me at my last event before this event because he heard the message on the podcast, he heard what I was going through

Private Party And Daniel Johnson

SPEAKER_00 27:20

on the podcast. This stuff just blows me away, man. Another layer of this weekend was another amazing, amazing thing, and that was that we had a very rare opportunity to have a private party at uh Lance and Jen's house, and we call this the Lancifer Inn. They came up with it, it's a super awesome thing. They call it the Lancifer Inn. Their garage is so cool. Um, old school vintage sign collections, um, just everything about it is just super damn cool. It looks legitimately like a bar you would want to hang out in every weekend, but it is your own garage. It's pretty incredible. We were able to pull off a private party with uh Daniel Johnson, who is somebody that I've talked about here on the podcast, the first ever sponsored artist, country musician, singer, songwriter Daniel Johnson. Iowa born, Texas raised, Nashville based. Our relationship and brotherhood started on a bar stool at the cabbage patch in Daytona, Florida, two years ago. It's blossomed into a friendship and brotherhood as well. These random opportunities, these random just moments in time are not lost on me. They're not coincidences, they replaced in front of me. Think about it. I sat on a bar stool next to somebody chasing his dream, fulfilling his purpose, while I'm trying to do the same. We were put there together, and we decided together to help each other somehow, some way, someday, make it to where we want to be. I'm at Lance and Jen because I was giving away your motorcycle. He came to see his idol's bar, Bentley Warren, and I happen to be on stage, and years later, they're the godparents of Paisley Ring. These aren't coincidences. This isn't good fortune, it's God's work. But we need to open ourselves up. We need to be receptive, we need to be open to the people that God places in our lives, we need to be willing to share who we are, open ourselves and our hearts to the people that get placed on our path. And when you do, you too will be rewarded. And I am certain any of you and all of you listening have been rewarded up until now. And when you stop and smell the roses, when you take a minute to peel the onion and you realize how many people along your path helped you to make something possible, and then you start to think about how did I find these people? How did they find me? How did we get to where we are today? It's incredible. And the moment that I do that, I realize it's all out of my hands, it's all out of my control, it's all part of his plan. And here we are, and it is so incredible, and I am so grateful. Man. Friday, Daniel rolled into Syracuse Nationals, picked me up at the front gate. I snuck him around into the VIP uh vendor section. He came in and he got to meet my wife and my baby. And I think about how crazy that is that um we've only been able to see each other twice, and it's during Daytona Bike Week, and we spend a lot of time together when we're there. But here we are connecting our families. The funny thing is, Allie found Daniel on TikTok long before I ran into him on a bar stool. But to share stories and to have these uh these memories, and then to now have an opportunity where he's there hanging out with my family. It's incredible. We're walking around nationals together, reminiscing like old friends, pounding wine, slushies, enjoying ourselves. To then I go back to the booth and I send him and my wife and Paisley out on a little excursion to do things of their own while I run the booth. It's family, and that's incredible to me, man. Lance and Jen not only opened up their home to me, they opened it up to him, and he spent the night. And he played a tremendous show. And he was so fulfilling for me that after Daniel's first song, he asked for a request. And people in the room, like Lance's cousin Butch, were asking for Daniel's original songs. They took the time to listen, to research, and to love and to request his own music. I don't think I can really tell everybody how much this weekend meant to me. When I can sit back and see people I care about really enjoying and appreciating and being in awe of somebody that I care about, that I made a relationship with on the road, it's amazing to me. I I can realize if I don't leave my career to chase this dream, this experience doesn't happen. None of this happens unless I bet on myself and my brand and I start Loud Proud America, and without that, none of this happens. Watching my little girl in a bounce house, watching my little girl on a garage floor shaking her booty to her new uncle Daniel is something I will never forget. Absolutely never forget. All this happening on Lansingen's anniversary weekend, all of this, every ounce of this, truly amazing. Something I will never forget. God's plan is bigger and better than anything we can imagine.

Event Results And Weather Chaos

SPEAKER_00 33:45

How did the event go? It went good. Every single day we beat the comparable day from the previous year. Now on Saturday, in true loud American fashion, we woke up to tornado warnings and hail warnings and differential rain warnings and messages on my phone that the event might be canceled, but it wasn't canceled. It was not nearly as attended as it would have been had the weather been nice. But based off the new location, we still had a better Saturday than we did in the Saturday of 2025. So we exceeded last year's number, not by a great deal, but all around we had a better, more successful event. And I know next year it's going to be even better. I know it. I know it to be true. After the event was over, so with the rain on Saturday, we um picked up part of our stuff, put it in the trailer, and then um we just spent a couple hours in the parking lot hanging out with the New York fam, drinking beers and sharing stories, and then we went to Lance and Jen's house for dinner, and and um on Sunday we got up and headed over and finished packing, put our tent away and hit the road. And it's not often that the wife and I are coming home without an agenda, without a need to be somewhere plan in a couple of days. So we took the long way home, as if six hours wasn't long enough. We bumped it up to about eight or so, and uh we drove through the green mountains of Vermont. We were sightseeing as a family, we were enjoying, we were laughing, joking, making fun of everybody around us. We stopped for lunch at some little hometown tavern. We did all the things that I like to do on the road, and we did them all as a family. We didn't make it home until about 10-1030 at night. And for the first time on Monday, I did absolutely nothing. So beat, so tired,

Recovery Day And The Next Challenge

SPEAKER_00 36:10

I'm still so tired. Just trying to recover, trying to recoup, trying to get back on track. I'm wiped. I'm absolutely bushed. Eight weeks, two months, no days off, eight events, eight locations, a lot of obstacles, but a lot of overcoming. And a great deal of success to share. As July wraps up, seven months in the books, six out of the seven months, Loud Proud American is up over 2025. It ain't been easy. This has certainly been one of the most challenging years we've ever had, but we are winning. To continue the winning streak today, I managed to take a couple of hours. Just me and my baby girl, mow on the lawn, enjoying life. Tomorrow I'm gonna put the boots back on, lace them back up, and go head over heels into the biggest, most overwhelming challenge, event challenge that this brand has ever had. I tackle it head on tomorrow. But I can't do any of that without telling all of you that I love you and that I appreciate you, and I thank you for pulling me through for being here with me all along, every step of this journey.

Phone In The Toilet And Gratitude

SPEAKER_00 37:52

To give you guys one more glimpse about how tired I've been after all of this, I got up at 5 a.m. this morning because I gotta bring my mom to work, and I'm stumbling around the house, and I go to the bathroom, and there's no no night light scenario on, and in the mix of me being pie-eyed, sleepy-eyed, savage that I am, trying to take my shorts off to go to the bathroom, trying to turn the light on my phone to see where to go, all while trying to make sure my alarm's off before it blows up and wakes everybody else up. I managed to throw my brand new iPhone right in the toilet. Yeah. Slam that some of a bitch right into the toilet. Good old Daddy Reflexes had his hand in the bowl and the phone back up in the air with the alarm shut off before you ever heard a peep. Took the case off, dried her off, and hit the road, toilet water and all. What am I doing with my life? I'm surrounded by chaos. I never imagined I'd be where I am. I never imagined I would struggle like I have, but I never would have envisioned I'd be as happy as I am with all that I could ever want and all that I could ever need because of everyone that's around me, that's with me, that's pulling for me, and that's loving me. And that also goes for each and every one of you. I thank you. I truly, truly thank you for supporting my American dream. Now go wash your friggin' hands. You filthy savage. I definitely gotta wash my hands. I have my hands in the toilet. Get my phone up. Get that. That's it, and that's all, Biggie Smalls. If you're allowed proud American, and you find yourself just or find me on YouTube, Facebook, and allowed proud Americans, Facebook, if you're on the ramp fracking, want to find me on Instagram, Professor, Ticket Top, Tickety Talk, you can find me on all of those underscore underscore things on the background.
