And it made me think about the aspect of the booking and, uh,

and and the thinking and and the thought process of the entertainment and all of the above because he was a great baby face he had great fire uh he he i he i don't i don't know how to explain it but and if you know if you watched my dad in the old days then you know and if it's the old if you know you know he could he could do it and he could do it uh with anybody at any pace at any uh

You know what I mean?

Like, that's...

I wish I hadn't taken for granted that he was my father and that, you know what I mean, he was just always going to be there.
