Every step I take, I move my truth. Every time they tell me stop I use. Every comment hate that makes my feel. Gather up my energy and boom. I had them talking, saying the way that I move it's so reckless. That is a part of my mind I've been blessed with. Giving my blood so I am relentless. This is the Keep Hamer Collective with the Honorable Andy Stomph. Let's be careful with the words that we use. Also, is it live? James, is this live or is this recorded? No, it's live. We're live. Okay. This is going over the airways right now. We can't edit this. Are you guys with me? We would not do that. But look at this, dude. Double copies. Look at this. I can double fist this shit.

0:39.1

You could if you wanted to. No, I just read both, both. So here's, okay, they're identical.

0:43.9

Your new book, yes, drownproof. Yep. But here's all I know. If you write a book like this,

0:51.8

1:10.4

It's not bad, right? I don't, it doesn't even matter what the in this book. I don't think that's true at all. I think it matters. I think the content matters. Oh, okay. With me, I'm like, if I could just have those people, then just blank pages, probably still sell. I will say the color way. The color way, the blue and gold, I'm a fan. And I love that

1:31.7

picture. This is, so do you know who just won the national championship in basketball?

1:38.7

No. Michigan. Do you know what their colors are? I'm going to guess blue and gold.

1:42.6

That's right. So perfect, perfect timing. Okay. But no, your book. So we're going to talk about, here's what we're going to talk about. Also, for you, for you, for those that don't know, oh, wait, where did I, it was in this one. You say they're the same. Maybe they're not. Maybe they are.

So wrong again, doctors.

2:32.6

Technically they didn't say that I couldn't do Jiu-Jitsu. Yeah, I know, but it was like a negative spin on your future. They were trying to limit me in the way I thought about myself.
