How are you doing?

Thank you so much for having me.

So glad to see you.

Likewise, likewise.

I'll never forget that, actually.

I remember I was at a different yard that day on Polk Street in Washington, D.C.

I was barely ever at that yard.

On this given day, a lot of people were walking by us, but there was a mother walking with her son.

I was trying to picture how... He had to have been somewhere between the ages of like seven and nine.

Okay, okay.

Really young.

Yeah.

But I remember she, like, bent down towards us and, like, pointed at us.

But she tried to whisper, but she just wasn't that good at whispering.

But she said, you know, don't be like them.

And, you know, at this time, you know, I was working a full-time job, you know, there while also being in school full-time.

And it was just interesting where I just remember I was really trying my best at this point because my father had just suffered a stroke.

And I just remember, like, that was just very demoralizing.

Like, I'll never forget that day, like, ever again.

Definitely.
