How are you pretty good man looking forward to tomorrow is tomorrow graduation yeah tomorrow morning. Oh yeah, we're the we're the first one of the day. It's like 10 in the morning. You're grouping is the first one of the day. Yeah, the very first of like the entire weekend. So it's going to be at 10 in the morning. That other voice you just heard is of course producer Mike Moody who's joining us in the studio today as co host Mike. It's great to have you back. Hey, what up could to be back. AJ are you going to be doing like the whole song and dance the walking across the stage all that shit. Yeah.

I mean, I don't I don't make a big like or deal out of it. I'm well for me graduation is different for me right because I'm older than your traditional college student. Okay, I didn't go through the whole song and dance of like let me get like senior pictures taken. I didn't get a ring. Like I didn't. People don't know AJ is like 48 years old. Yeah, yeah, 47 year old man. Yeah, found a view. Right exactly. Yeah, but yeah, I don't I don't make a big deal out of it. I just I'm just ready to get this diploma and start start grinding. I feel you.

This bag. Congratulations. No, seriously. Oh, yeah. Thank you. I appreciate it. It's a that's a it's a big deal, man. Did you see on Twitter yesterday that they're there are people who who listen to this show who this entire time have thought you were black like Paul wall. Yeah, it's crazy. But like I said, because I replied to that thread. Yeah, I'm half black actually. Oh, yeah, like from my dad's side. My mom is full blooded Korean. You said you had a tiger wood situation. Yeah, no, basically, so I'm just not as dark. But right essentially it's the same thing. You know, I'm not going to be like, I'm not going to be like, I'm not going to be like, I'm not going to be like, I'm not going to be like, I'm not going to be like, I'm not going to be like, I'm not going to be like, I'm not going to be like, I'm not going

It just cracked me up. Mike and I were talking about it off mic before we started recording before you actually walked in. That's what we did. We talk about you behind your back. Okay. And now we were just laughing like neither one of us. It had never struck either one of us that you would even like question what race you might be because we've obviously met you in person. But if you would never met either of us and you were listening to the show. I could totally see how it was like a Paul wall type of deal where you would just assume that you were a black dude. Well, I feel like that's probably the case sometimes with you two.

Like the way that you talk sometimes just you being from Houston, kind of have like that Houston maybe draw. I've never had anybody hit me up and be like, I thought you were black.

Us anybody. That's the only thing I say that way. Us. Yeah. But I've never had anybody hit me up and be like, man, I could have sworn you were a black dude till I saw a picture of you. Yeah.

Because I think I normally say something along the way to expose just how lame and white I am. Apparently that just never happened with you. Yeah.

It's hard to tell sometimes because I was just telling you I'm Latinx. Right. I have three grandparents from Mexico.

But I look and sound like my one grandparent from the Ukraine, which is awesome. Yeah. It just makes it all the more amazing. The strong jeans. Yeah.

Yeah. It's whoever has your most dominant genetics in your pool. Yeah. That's the shit that's that your your line is going to run with.

Blond hair, blue eyed Mexican boy right here. There you go. Oh man. Hey, can I bring up something that I read?

Sure online. This is what I wanted to talk about. Let's do it. Did you guys know that in New York City, there are train conductors.

They're getting punched in the face by teenagers. Have you heard about this? Why? No. No. I'll explain. This has happened repeatedly. Like this is a true story.

There are subway train conductors in New York City. Right. Okay. They're operating the subway. I didn't even realize that was the case.

So the subway is in New York again. I'm the most ignorant person possible when it comes to NYC. They are they are manned by an actual human.

It's not just computers running those things. No, no. I mean, it's just like a train like a train conductor. There's a dude in there like a

subway conductor. He's like pressing the go button and I'm assuming it's more automated than how it used to be just with technology and whatnot.

Okay. But there's still someone manning it behind the wheel or whatever. There's a guy in the room that's in charge of controlling each train.
