I forgot about that. Yeah. That felt almost fake.
No, the rooster. There's a place in Ybor City in Tampa where roosters walk around all the time. And we had a rooster parked there right by the main drag for, what did I say? We had a rooster parked? We had the RV parked in Ybor City for a long time and the rooster laid eggs in the undercarriage. Nice. Back to the all gas, no brakes thing though.

So it was lots, it was really fun making it. And then we started all gas, no brakes in September of 2019. Six months later, the country shuts down and everything just hits the fan. I was actually here in Austin when it shut down. I was on 6th Street. I remember the, I don't just hang out on 6th Street all the time, but I was just here. Yeah, you do. Come on. Let's just be honest.

I do like 6th Street. Yeah. I like East Austin better, but I like 6th Street too. So anyways, the NBA shuts down. Everything's shutting down. So I went down to the Dirty Six and I asked this doorman. I was like, are you guys ever going to shut down? He was like, fuck no, bro. The Dirty Six never closes. And I was like, all right, we'll see about that. Next day, plywood.

And then I was like, all right, I thought my career was over when COVID hit. I was like, what are we going to do? Nothing's happening anymore. There's no more parties or Talladega races or Burning Man's to go to. So I went back to Seattle in the RV and I just spent four months just depressed, living in the RV, trying to figure out what would happen. But all gas, no brakes went on still.

Well, this was the craziest thing about that period of time is that when COVID hit, I'm sure you remember, everything turned political overnight. In Seattle, if you went to a house party- you can get canceled because people were like, oh, you're a super spreader. So if you wanted to socialize, even with a group of four or more, you had to do so with your phones damn near turned off.

And a lot of people were doing hyper social policing at that time. Beyond that, in the South and in more conservative places, they were doing the opposite. They were trying to prove that they could hang out 500 deep with no mask to make a statement against the establishment. So you had this polarization that led to more division. And that's when the anti-vax protests started.

And I went to Sacramento and the passion was unreal. This is about two months after... the COVID lockdowns began. And that was my first political video, was at the Sacramento, the California State Capitol in Sacramento, documenting the, they called it the Freedom Rally, but that's typically like anti-vax stuff. And it was real intensity. And that video was my most successful to date at that time.
