| 0:00.0 | Well, howdy there internet people, Lidsboo again. |
| 0:03.0 | So today we are going to talk about Montgomery and the docks and what happened. |
| 0:09.0 | And a whole bunch of questions that came in and a misunderstanding of what something means. |
| 0:20.0 | Okay, so if you have no idea what I'm talking about, over the weekend there was an altercation |
| 0:31.3 | that occurred at the docks there at the river in Montgomery. |
| 0:36.0 | There was a pontoon boat piloted by, looks like a group of white people |
