So he plays it for us. It's called Reverse Cowgirl, by the way. It's not a very good song. Also not about a Western. Right. When he when he launched it, he played the music video, he launched it.
And this is like, I would say not in the prime of T-Pain, but just a little bit after. So he's still he's still on the radio and stuff like that. And back then, this is 2010 era. There's no Spotify.

We're looking at the dashboard as he looks over his marriage, like, Hey, yeah, launch it, launch it. And then you could see like a hundred thousand, 500,000 million downloads.

Obviously, not to discredit where T-Pain came from, because he has a really harsh background as well. But just in this moment, I'm meeting T-Pain. He's only five years older than I am. And he just looks over his manager. They launch a song, something he loves to do for fun. And then it's around 10 a.m. After that, he just gets obliterated, like super drunk. And this is a regular thing.

Because although T-Pain definitely didn't have to sacrifice and work hard as any successful person did, that's I think one window of wealth and success is like there's actually other factors in the equation that I think are a lot more healthier.
