Dane Gentry podcast, standing back up. It's kind of the premise of people like us, man, who get out and get sober and we can do it. It's kind of that kind of idea. Kind of want to be that light for people. You get what I'm saying. but at the same time, man, I kind of want to throw in other stories, too, and have, like, some famous people and different things like that. So we'll see. We'll see where it goes, man. Until you're interviewing people and doing that kind of stuff. Right now, it's just being like, I had, like, Killer Bees, know who he is, a comedian, I had him on. I'm looking forward to having him on. He hey man he's a great guy i'm gonna tell you man that's a real genuine human being when i first started

The lead singer, he's going to come on, stuff like that.

So we'll see.

Just right now, nobody knows my name, so it's kind of hard. You know how it is. You send people a message to come on. You're kind of like, oh, fuck it's this dude, you know what I mean? Well, we all start somewhere. That's where I started and you do stuff like this because you have a fascinating story.

So you use that to your advantage, get it out there and people, I use my story to build a

platform.

Now you use yours.

Yeah, here we go, man.

You know what?
