Paul, we're alive, brother.

Let's do it, man. How are you?

Man, I'm very good. I am very, very excited for this. I, uh, listen, I've done thousands

of podcasts on my own personal one. I've done over a thousand, but I've been, I've been

on many, many podcasts. I've done thousands. This is the first one of this kind. This is the first one I've ever done in this situation. And, uh, I've done thousands. This is the first one of this kind. This is the first one I've ever done in this situation.

And I feel very blessed to have been connected with you.

And I'm really grateful that you hear.

So thank you for joining me.

Yeah, for sure, man.

Yeah, your community speaks highly of you.

So, I mean, I couldn't be more stoked about it in the opportunity.

It's wild. But we're here now, but it's great. Yeah, man, I, I figure we should, here's what we'll do.

We'll dive right in and we'll give the context as to how we got involved in this whole thing.

Anyway, how we got connected and how we became friends. And then we'll dive into other stuff as well.

We'll just see where the conversation goes. But for anyone who follows me on Instagram, there's a good chance that you saw recently that, and here's what I'll say before I even dive into it first and foremost um i want to thank

every single person in my community because i fucking love all of you and and you've got my back

and i hope you know that i have your back okay that's number one um there was an unfortunate

incident in the last couple of weeks in which I got a, for lack of a better

term, a gross message, a couple of gross messages from one individual. We're not going to

name this person. They've already been named. They've already had to deal with a lot of, of

shit as a result of the gross, disgusting message that was sent, but I don't want any more

harm or anything to come to this individual whatsoever. I think it's over. It's done.
