Imagine sweeping through green fields, floating five feet above ground, sun on your face as you slide by on track to your destination, not a car in the world, as you simply lean back.

And before you know it, you're there.

This is how travel should feel, and on our trains, it does.

Avanti West Coast, feel good travel.

You guys will never validate someone's feelings unless you can understand it.

That's the truth. That is the truth.

I've expressed so much about my history, my pain, to tell you guys how you feel.

And you guys don't listen. You don't care.

And it's fine. I don't need that.

Hey guys, welcome to another episode of everyone's business, but mine.

I had a mild panic that that wasn't the actual name of the podcast. See, can't think of the name of a podcast or the name of my podcast. I'm pretty sure I got both of those right though. Let's move on.

How are we doing? You know, my answer is not well, bitch. You know, I, I don't want to say that I try to keep things light.

But I also know that oftentimes I'm like ranting about things and that can be heavy and I get that. So I try to break it up and like mix and match.

But given what happened in Texas last week, like there's just no room around it. I don't want to get into it because if I do, I will talk for three hours.

But the biggest part of that is that like I can't personally enact any change because if I could, I would have done so a long time ago.

I'm like truly disgusted by the gun laws in this country. I am truly disgusted by like everything that happened. I am disgusted by the police force.

And the culture of police forces that allow just the top to bottom outright failure of these poor children and really this country, like I'm just there, there are no words, you know, and so the only thing that I can do is just like put my money where my mouth is.

And so I donated to victims first, which is an organization who really they just donate money 100% of the proceeds go directly to the victims and, you know, unfortunately organizations like this have to exist.

But this one does and it seems really great. I'm also going to be later this week donating to the individuals of the individual families that have, you know, senselessly lost these children and I'm just like I'm sick about it. I'm absolutely sick.

So I don't, you know, it's hard to do things like this because I'm like, oh, what's talking about about a bunch of dumb shit now, you know, but I also want and hope that if you need a little bit of a break that maybe I can help with that in some way.

I mean, that's really, you know, you just feel very powerless in situations like this. So I'm trying to use like whatever quote unquote power that I might have to like help make this world a little bit better.

That's all I can do. I feel very, you know, like I'm about to cry, like I just feel like really disgusted. And so we're going to move on because like I can't. So other than that, I hope you guys are having a really good week.
