But first of all, I had a little trip this weekend, the wife and I to Milwaukee, highly suggested.

0:52.4

Especially if you love some German beers, we had a really good time there. but you made a big trip out to California. How was Cali this time of year? It was beautiful. It's a lot. The city is alive. It's a big city. It takes a while to get anywhere. I sound so Midwestern, so small town, Midwestern. When I say, that it's great. You know, look,

1:11.3

we go to L.A., I think, on, I know, on Thursday, we went to Pasadena. We found a bar. We aren't looking for much. Everyone had just kind of traveled in, chill travel day. We wanted to bar with golden tea, and we wanted a bar with chicken wings. That is all we needed. We're able to find Speaking of Midwest.
