I love jazz and I hate jazz.

I know. Yeah. No, my kids actually love jazz. That's what they tell me. I think they're sucking up to me to try to get toys. And food. And food. Because they're eight and six. They're a little younger. But no, this is good. I think I have some ideas on this So maybe we should go forth

Okay so number one younger. But no, this is good. I think I have some ideas on this. So maybe we should go forth.
