as mentioned in the OP, i am starting a youtube channel/podcast, and this is the first (official) video for my youtube channel. former Texas Basketball coach and player Leon Black is in declining health, so I sat down this morning with my dad to talk about him.

the follow-up to the OP video- the rest of 2021:

we've got sneks, dogs, Baris, HS football, more good music, that beautiful Pflugerville scenery, and of course my mom who steals the show every time she's on. 2021 was not the best year, but these moments were generally pretty cool.

lol i just went back and rewatched it. i had forgotten about the clip on august 18th. i was driving to my moms house just filming, and as i entered her neighborhood i saw that two people were pulled over and exchanging information as there had been a fender bender. turns out the old man who hit the guy in front of him was, in fact, my old man. i went from rapping along to the song i was listening to, to a full-on Sweet Dee, "oh goddamnit!" lol.

btw, by dad is a legit 6'2", which means the guy he hit was at least 6'6"-6'7". dude was a unit. after i passed them i turned my own car around to see if my dad needed a ride or anything, and as i pulled up behind them i saw this 20-something year old black dude fist bump my dad, a 70-something year old white dude who had just rear ended him. honestly, it was a strangely moving and powerful moment. there is so much tension in this country, such a divide along so many different political and generational lines, that you almost expect situations like that to turn out poorly. when i pulled up and saw them fist bump each other, again- it was just oddly moving. wish i had gotten that on camera. 

Where was the square pizza around the September 30 mark? Via 313? Looks so damn good right now.

Also was that woman a tad milfy in the clip with your mom hitting the wiffle ball in the gym? Not your mom, the other one. Moms is awesome BTW. 

God if I did one of these it would be so fucking boring.

yep, that's from Via 313 on Guadeloupe. 

and yes, the other coach in the video is very milfy, especially for her age. 

Keep em coming! Looking forward to seeing doggos, momma, and petrified squirrels from 2022.

so, it appears that i've never shared this, and with that being case, it seems like it would be a waste to not share it now. 

when this was filmed, it was meant to be the first in a long series of youtube videos which featured a variety of content ranging from interviews with guests tj sports highlights reels. long story short, my mental and physical health issues have taken precedence since this filming, and the youtube channel still has yet to get off and running. i was reminded of this video when talking with a friend recently, and i figured i may as well share it at this point, for anyone who's interested in watching.

I went and listened to Liberation and it's just not me for, I guess, but I can't see how this a top 1000 song much less top 1. That is why art is art, I guess.

this memory is a bittersweet one. as the caption says, i showed up to do my normal pa job, got thrown into doing an internet pxp broadcast, and did well enough to get hired on the spot to do something i would have really enjoyed. i was supposed to start in the spring, but then covid happened, my health took a turn, and it never happened. oh well. was still a very fun and enjoyable night calling the game:
