Hi, BC. How are you?

You know, I mean, you know, well, how am I look? I mean, this isn't Halloween, but you know, I do I do resemble Rocky Balboa arriving in Moscow right now.

You know, from both my spirit and the particular efforts of this Rocky Ford inspired outfit that I put together, you know, and much like Drago, I view you as if he dies. He dies. Hello, that was great.

Well, no, that was Rocky for that was Drago said that, but I only know was he talking about Creed was talking about Rocky in that quote.

He was, oh, I'm sorry. You're right. He was talking about Creed. When you mentioned the word Creed, I thought you meant the movie or the or Creed, too, which I've yet to see.

But Luke, I'm through five on the father, son, journey on the Rocky movie marathon as we get closer to seeing Creed III and I max 3D and

Rocky 5 unfortunately, Luke, it was way worse than I remembered. Like I tried to retain some level of like, no, it's still kind of charming and cute and fast paced.

It's fast paced at the end. That's about it. Do you know for my kids, though, they're like, wasn't as bad as Rocky 1, though, dad.

Okay, kids, you know, I mean, look, there is a gap in generations in terms of what we respect and love and how we understand things and to them, Rocky 5 is only their third favorite.

All right. Well, they've been saying Crown Posse fans or what?

No, no, but if you put a bottle of fego in front of this family, Luke, it's very likely that thing will empty empty quickly. Okay, because that's how we do.
