Have an open mind you want some of you and that's what we're gonna do. So here is Colin cow herd okay we talked about doing this for a while.

And here we are at my my state here you know included grotto yeah we both live here it was funny because you know running into the other day just walking around like that's such a small little town.

And yet here we are we're neighbors we hang we see each other more now that we did we were both in what's our first. Yeah I just a buddy of mine came over for dinner last night and he's standing Santa Monica and I said Santa Monica's a city you have hotels. Like man beach has about four restaurants I go to and.

The shade is a hotel but it's really a beachy town like Pismo Beach Manhattan Beach Santa Monica's got like you know like double trees and yeah yeah this is a basically there's one little area.

The guys like you and I get a coffee or a cocktail. It's a great place to live but it's you know it's not a metropolis. No and honestly it's it's a little different now from when I first used to start hanging out here because it's like I'm almost I'm almost not fit.

I feel security in that you know I like marriage I like going home but I could see if I was young attractive single guy maybe like I've been to this bar before this a ground hog day.

Yeah see I needed I needed routine and honestly my routine is never been more different like my routine like we when we were in Connecticut like how long were you in your slot 11 years yeah 11 years I was there almost 10 years.

Yeah and that was actually driving me crazy I go when I first started up that Monday through Friday thing I had been in this kind of three year run of of never having any routine and liking not having routine and then I had so much routine and being in Connecticut and I was never anti Connecticut the way I know a lot about you probably more I remember the first time you did the the airport ran I was like oh man he might be on to something.
