0:00.0	No jumper coolest podcast in the world today. I'm diving deep into the recesses of Boston, graffiti,
0:09.6	lore. I met this dude to my left spec. So you're right, I guess. 23 years ago, I was trying to do
0:18.0	the math 24 years ago. Was it oh, one or is it? I thought it was like 2000. But you're my,
0:25.6	it might be 2001. You might be right. Yeah, I'm so 22 years ago. Pretty crazy because I had no
0:31.9	idea who I was meeting at the time. But basically like I was on the 12 ounce profit forum. And I think
0:38.8	I met your boy Aves. Yeah. He's the dude that I actually like gone in contact with because I was
0:43.2	like a 16 year old kid just posting photos from the train yard in my town, which we had a amazing
0:50.0	train yard in Nashville, New Hampshire, which I'm sure is probably still pretty good. If you get
0:53.9	arrested there, it's not my fault. But I was posting about it and probably being a little too
0:59.2	forthcoming as like a 16 year old graffiti kid just being like, yo, this I got the sickest yard.

1:19.3	well into their 20s, maybe even 30. Yeah. Yep. And it's Aves by the way. Aves. Aves.
1:29.2	Well, I've been saying around for 20 years. That's all right. My bad. But yeah, like I had
1:33.9	never. So we went. I remember going to the home depot and they were racked in front of me,
1:38.0	which I was unbelievably impressed by even though I was doing the same thing, but they were a little
1:41.2	smoother with it. And then going to the train yard, I don't think I'd ever seen somebody crack a
1:46.4	40 in front of me at like 15 or 16. And I also don't know that I believe a
1:52.3	may have been smoked, which I don't think I had ever seen anyone doing real life at 15 at that
1:56.3	point. And it might have been the first time or it might have been another time after that
