That's the only time I've ever heard your voice inflect like that.

All of a sudden have an inflection and it's almost like I'm doing old radio ads. I think it's hilarious. I've done so many of these intros and I'm like, hey, I'm John Wilmore and all this weird inflection that I don't really ever have any other time in my life. I still catch myself with certain inflections.

I'm like, why the fuck am I doing that?

Is it just on the...

Is it just when you... really ever have any other time in my life. I still catch myself with certain inflections.

I'm like, why the fuck am I doing that? Is it just when you're doing the podcast? No, you do like when I think somebody like, oh, thank you so much. Like, hey, thank you. I don't know why I do it. Do you have to do it because you're from Southern, or you're from Northern California. You're San Francisco guy. So maybe that's just part of the inflection when you're from San Francisco.

Yeah.

I mean, San Francisco was a great place. My,

my father used to say he'd rather fly to Chicago during the middle of winter than fly to

Southern California. He despise Southern California. I mean, my sister went to USC. It was back when

this had to be 80s. There was a few gang bang incidents where I think one sorority girl was shot. Oh, yeah, home that semester. Yeah. Well, we used to, you know, USC University of South Crenshaw.
