Ball Brian over there has got reading no.

No seems to be the answer now.

All right.

Can I ask you guys one thing?

Tell me if you're like me, and I hope you're not.

People give me CDs.

of their crappy bands that I've never heard of that they put together on their Mac laptop from their mom's apartment.

And then, because it's something, I can't throw it away.

Like, I can't hand it back to them.

I can't go, oh no, take that.

I can't just leave it on the table and put my beer down on it because if they find it later, I just don't want to do that to someone.

So I must receive it.

And then once I receive it, because I remember the time when my dad used to go to the North Hollywood Library and rent records.

I mean, not rent, but check out records, like literally check out vinyl and how he was too cheap to purchase.

purchase of vinyl this and and I remember when I used to I was so poor and CDs were you know there were 14 18 bucks and I was making seven bucks eight bucks an hour and all I all I would do is about once a month I'd buy the best of like I couldn't get into everyone's deep cuts be best of Steely Dan best of Chicago best of whoever and that was all my first 20 CDs were just the best

And I also remember the times when I would gather them up and take them back to the record store.

And the guy would go, that's $0.59.

That's $0.89.

$0.89.

$0.59.
