You're like, wait, they stole that from my dad.

Yeah, exactly.

Just start reading Lord of the Rings and be like, how did this guy talk to my dad?

That's nuts.

But genuinely, I just, I love them so much.

And I love those times spent with my father because it was, one, it was bonding.

You know how it is when you get out there.

It's just, it's beautiful.

It's gorgeous.

We'd sleep under the stars or in a tent.

Every once in a while, the weather would be pretty rough.

He had this beat up old Toyota, like blue rusted out truck that had like that plastic covering.

on the bed and so if things got real bad we'd try to get back to that and we'd sleep in there and i just remember kind of like curled up in my dad's chest those those walks were the most spectacular times like some of my best memories with him as a father and it does come down to this kind of storytelling that he used to do and he would also be ripping off american legends as well yeah okay intro um

Which, by the way, sadly, I hate to dispel that rumor, but probably is not factually accurate.

I'm so sorry, man.

He did probably wear a bucket.

He usually had a bucket, but the tin pot with a handle off of it really hadn't been thought up yet at that point.

That's kind of almost a few decades later, but yes.

Oh, yeah.

No, his whole deal is he gets lionized a few decades after his death, and we'll get to that.
