I moved from 0:18:24.760 --> 0:18:27.000 California to Louisiana. 0:18:27.560 --> 0:18:29.119 That's not the thing of the move. I thought you 0:18:29.160 --> 0:18:32.200 were going to say you moved from California to like Uzbeka, 0:18:32.280 --> 0:18:37.320 Stan or something that would be a big California to 0:18:38.040 --> 0:18:40.360 Illinois or wherever. You just said. That's not that bad. 0:18:40.400 --> 0:18:43.760 There's still I mean, every state is the same. I've 0:18:43.760 --> 0:18:45.879 been to. I've been to most of the states. I 0:18:45.880 --> 0:18:47.040 haven't been to all of them, but I've been to 0:18:47.040 --> 0:18:52.280 most of them, and they all are the same. I'm sorry. 0:18:52.359 --> 0:18:54.159 Well maybe not exactly the same, but they all have 0:18:54.280 --> 0:18:58.880 the same gist. There's a seven eleven, there's people walking around, 0:18:59.560 --> 0:19:11.359 there's I'm sure sure, Okay, Well, gage Go Ahead has. 0:19:11.280 --> 0:19:15.520 Gotten a very happy vibe. Well, you know, being in 0:19:15.560 --> 0:19:17.640 the South, I guess I have not experienced the South 0:19:17.640 --> 0:19:19.600 too much. Anybody on the West coast, I would highly 0:19:20.320 --> 0:19:23.480 suggest just getting out, just traveling. I think that's what 0:19:23.560 --> 0:19:26.640 you gotta do, experience some of the states. 0:19:29.119 --> 0:19:32.040 Where did you move? Why did you move from California 0:19:32.119 --> 0:19:32.920 to Louisiana. 0:19:34.560 --> 0:19:36.720 We can get oh, we can get pretty deep into it, 0:19:36.880 --> 0:19:39.000 but uh, I'll just give you the gist of it. 0:19:39.080 --> 0:19:42.840 I was just paying a lot in a rent. As 0:19:42.880 --> 0:19:44.679 soon as I turned eighteen. My brother was having me 0:19:44.720 --> 0:19:49.800 paid like a thousand a month, and I was like 0:19:49.840 --> 0:19:55.879 covering everything. We're talking rent, electricity. But during that year, 0:19:56.119 --> 0:19:58.840 like to two years, there was like on and off 0:19:58.880 --> 0:20:01.720 where I didn't have wife. During the summer, I didn't 0:20:01.720 --> 0:20:06.320 have a c And what really happened, what really went down, 0:20:06.760 --> 0:20:13.080 is one year my brother got a girlfriend right, completely, 0:20:13.600 --> 0:20:18.199 like completely blindsided me and decided to go on a 0:20:18.240 --> 0:20:22.919 trip to like Las Vegas with his girlfriend. And they 0:20:22.960 --> 0:20:27.080 went and they got married, and like when he came home, 0:20:27.160 --> 0:20:29.720 he's like, Hey, this is your new sister in law. 0:20:29.880 --> 0:20:33.320 And I'm like, what what in the world? Like the 0:20:33.400 --> 0:20:35.280 whole the whole world kind of got turned upside down. 0:20:35.359 --> 0:20:37.000 She was living with us for a couple of years, 0:20:37.680 --> 0:20:42.240 so it was as, wow, but do you not like 0:20:42.320 --> 0:20:47.080 this person?
