believe in the ripple fact

The ripple fact I'm a lot of the What's up?

Another episode of the Ripple Effect podcast.

This episode's a little different than probably you're used to.

Today I'm hanging out.

Well, this is basically later that night.

If you listen to the last episode with AJ, I did that one early afternoon.

And then later that night, I was hanging out some friends, my buddy Kevin, my buddy Chris.

Kevin's been on episode four a long time ago, obviously, because

it's episode four, and three or four now I can't remember. And Chris has been on a few times.
