I joined as always by Chris. It is his Destiny Ragon. Chris, welcome to the show. How are you doing

0:42.0

during these trouble times? I am doing okay. I'm still alive. My blood is still, you know,

0:48.8

pacing at the right speed through my capillaries and nervous system. I'm pretty good.

0:53.3

Cool. Nothing's happening in your neighborhood and that's like really,

0:56.8

I haven't heard too much about Burbank. No, there have been protests here, I think, every day,

1:02.4

but it's been pretty peaceful. Cool. No, no crazy, you know, insane shenanigans.

1:12.0

Yeah, man. Yeah, people out there protesting, getting their first amendment on, having no problem

1:18.6

with that. It's been largely the same in Richmond here in Virginia, although there's been some

violence and some riding, some burning things down, cop cars burned. The biggest thing that's

Yeah. Statue, massive statues. And anyone that's seen pictures of this, it's like one of the

1:46.1

most beautiful parts of Richmond. And at like every intersection is like a massive statue

1:58.5

I have no problem with us removing these Confederate monuments. By the way, I think they're weird.

2:02.0
