It was this really, like, really barren situation.
I call it like a Cheech and Chong truck.
There's this little truck that came through people's peripheral.
And then the technology allowed it to come through.
And then I think the world needed a little bit of a pick-me-up and a smile.
And weirdly, we were the one that...
were that smile you know it could have been something else could have been anyone else but you know Kogi was the one you know and it it's weird every time I talk about it right because like you know I it was like I was there it was me I'm a very shy person I don't like to I don't like to like to toot any horns or anything but like you don't strike me as a horn tooter yeah yeah it's hard to talk about but
But as I get older and older with it, I do realize the significance and importance of it is there are sometimes certain moments where Jimi Hendrix walks into the room, you know.
Yeah, it's that magic in the universe you're talking about.
There's a magic in the universe, you know, and it just happens to be that person or thing that happens.
And for for us at that time, it was Kogi where the world was extremely hurt.
People were losing their homes.
People were killing themselves.
You know, families were being broken up and no one knew what the next step was going to be.
You know, and it was very much like the early days of covid.
And then this truck, you know, I'm looking at, uh, is that Tommy Jerry?
But it was like a Tommy Jerry feel like there was like this little cartoonish thing that kind of came into the world.
