So I play in a queer basketball league with my brother.

I'm trying to imagine that, by the way.

Yeah, it could be hard.

It's hard for me to imagine until I'm there.

Oh, well, it depends.

You know, joyful humiliation.

The body humbles you, especially at 37.

But I play in this league with my brother, and I've always feel so much joy because...

I never thought that you could participate in a very competitive, historically very competitive cutthroat.

Like in my, I grew up with like street ball, N1 mixtapes, skateboarding culture.

And it was like, it was beautiful, but it was also like filled with hyper masculine aggression and toxicity.

Yeah.

And being in a queer, and when I say queer, I mean like, you know, all genders, all bodies, all experiences, all hair colors, like hats, bring it like, you're on it.

You got the right image.

Like it's, you know, we look like a beautiful athletic carnival and it's amazing.

And I look forward to every Sunday.

Tell that to the NBA.

But just moving my body next to my brother felt so much joy.

And I think it's

I'm proud of him.
