0:00.0	It's not about me. It's about the people. I feel like we need to give the collective back to the people.
0:05.6	I feel like it's been hijacked. I feel like people are pushing initiatives and agendas because they
0:09.9	want to push their thing forward. And if we focus on the people, and that's what the beauty of

0:19.9	testimonies that keep us
0:21.7	thriving as a nation that give us hope. So even when you feel like we have no hope, even when you feel
0:26.2	like the hope has been sucked out of everything, I get re-inspired knowing that there's good people
0:30.9	out there doing the work like yourself and so many heroes that come on these shows. I had a guy
0:34.5	on my podcast yesterday who formerly played in the NFL and now he's
0:39.3	doing so many other different, you know, horrible work just by trying to raise awareness of

1:35.3	And now, I guess we've had so many people on the show, this is like a treasure trove.
1:42.0	I can probably do a whole month's worth of interviews just on the studs and studettes that have been on Game of Crimes before.
1:43.7	And today's no different. You might remember today's guest as, or this actual portion of today's episode, as the dancing cop from Tino. I mean, I love that title. And it's funny because anywhere I go, I mention, I mention your name. And we're talking to Ryan Tillman, everybody, by the way, Ryan, welcome back, bro.
2:01.3	Thanks again, Lord.
2:02.1	Appreciate you, but I say, you know, Ryan Tillman, they'll go, yeah, yeah, you know, the kind of, I'm like the dancing cop from Chino. Oh, everybody knows that guy.
