Summary

Not only was Dan Sickles the shmole of the Battle of Gettysburg, he was the first person in U.S. history to get away with murder because of, "Temporary Insanity!" How did that come to be? How can a guy with the word, sick, in his name be a such a renob?

This hair's coming back in, looking good, full- on poof. I got nice poof action going on in case you guys aren't watching on YouTube where I always post these, dude, look at this right now, business moves, subtly slid that in there for you. Subtely slid that in that these are all on YouTube right there. You gotta be media litter, you gotta look out, even for me, dude, I'm keeping an honest, but you got to look out. I'm coming in hot. But just in case you're listening at home, I want you to hear this, this poof on my hair right here. That's just the microphone, headphones rubbing against my poof. Aaron's in the studio. what up, Aaron. What up? It's been a few weeks since we've recorded,

0:57.0

so fired up to get against my poof. Aaron's in the studio. What up, Aaron? What up?

1:12.4

It's been a few weeks since we've recorded. So fired up to get back in here, dude. Glad you see you're doing well. Anything dank going on? What's crappin' in, dude? I mean, I've just been watching a lot of baseball now that my team no longer has COVID, so that's cool. That's good. but yeah, it seems like things are doing all right.

1:11.7

I'm looking forward to a nice football season. You know, college, I get it. Kids

1:17.3

aren't getting paid. You got to shut it down. You know, it's just too much risk, even though it

1:21.8

hurts me to say it. But the NFL, you know, these are our modern day gladiators. Maybe it's very Roman of me. Maybe it's very, very, very sick. I just, you know, pay them whatever they need to be paid, pay these athletes, get them out on the field. I need it. I need my fantasy. I've got a draft coming up with the boys. I'm a three-time champ. It's sort of what I hang my hat on. So if I don't

1:44.5

have it, you know, who am I? I'll be looking in the mirror for a long, long time just asking myself, who am I? I'll be quiet at dinner with my GF. No one wants someone quiet. It's just us two eating. She'll be like, what's wrong? What's going on? I'll be like, nothing. It's not you it's just things we can't control well that's sort of enumatic what are you what are

2:02.7

So honestly, for the health of, you know, society, I think we all need a dank NFL season. I'm looking forward to it. But in the meantime, I've been speaking of dank dinners with my GFD, but it's been crushing outdoor meals on our balcony. I got some dank patio furniture from Wayfair.
