Must be from New York. Yeah, well you could definitely tell that.

Four, three, two, and we're live John Joseph.

What's up, brother? How are you?

This is like, I'm excited. Yeah, man and I'm excited to for I think it could set a nice precedent because there's so much

Fucking toxic energy between vegans and non-vegans even if we're just joking around people get so
