Happy African American History Month, everyone. I can't start this set without asking you a simple question and it's not rhetorical. All I need to know is whether or not I have your permission or wyle out. So, formally for me, from us to y'all, do y'all mind if I wyle out?

You don't mind at all? It's okay with you? That's all I needed to hear, a little confirmation.

"Mind if i wyle out?"

Guess that's the end of the stand for today. You know me, you keep quiet, let me run your phone bill up. You know I love to talk. But this is the only time we have designated for me to talk so I'm just gonna fill you in a little bit.

Last week, I wanted to quit so many times. And I feel like that's more like the person I'm becoming or whatever is getting in my own way, me getting in my own way. And people dedicating themselves to getting in my way. And trying to take from me and take advantage of me.

But you can't kill me. They can't kill me.
