thanks for having me so glad to be here i am so stoked to have you here man we you know, whenever I was in Jackson, whenever you had come to town, it was always a treat. Like, you know, the, the great thing is we've had so many different people will make their pipe pilgrimages and that sort of thing. But you've actually got ties to Mississippi that sometimes if I'm being totally honest, I kind of forget until you show up into town and start referencing things. I'm like, oh, yeah, no, I'm talking to a local here.

Yeah, yeah.

No, I grew up just a few miles from the country squire.

I went to Span Elementary right down the road from the Squire and Woodland Hills Baptist Academy.

And then on to Clinton.

That's where I graduated high school and then

to Mississippi State and then on off into the rest of the world. You know, when I first got my

car, I used to drive over to, you know, Lakeland Drive and go see Miss Reeves. So, yeah, long before
