probably doing he'd be at the beach dude i would love to see some protesters with like

tommy bahama yeah you know like the lawn chairs out there we're so chill i might be going i might

be going no Kings on Saturday.

I might dial up a time of Bahama. It's Sunday. I'm going to talk about that. Because you don't want to be on your feet all day. If you're going to go there and you're not really like into the chanting or whatever, you don't want to be on your feet on. What about a beard helmet with two cans? It is tough for me. I was thinking about my dad today. because I remember like when the Unite the Right

rally came to Charlottesville.

Mm. It is tough for me. I was thinking about my dad today. Because I remember when the Unite the right rally came to Charlottesville, my dad, like, grabbed his camera and like went to run downtown. And I was like, what was he going to do when he got there? Because he was too cool to chant. And I was like, that's how I feel about Saturday. Like, I want to go demonstrate, but I don't want to chant, you know?

Oh, it's so lame. The chanting. Yeah, the chanting. Chanting at almost anything is lame. Even sporting events, it gets at a point, it gets a little weird, even at sporting events. And then like a lot of the people who are doing the chanting are like be dazzled in some way. Right. You're not bedazzled. their whole identity.

Right.

But protesting in itself is like

throwing away your, it's, you know, or like be dazzled in some way and you're not be dazzled. That's their whole identity.

Right. But protesting in itself is like throwing away. It's, you know, it's getting over you're too cool for schoolness, but I can't get over it. You have to get so far over it. And you didn't come up with the chant. Some other asshole did that probably isn't good. I didn't write the chant. Yeah, that who the fuck wrote the chant did we get to vote on it you know

maybe I'll write something on my Tommy
