He's like, "I know those guys." [laughs]

Those dudes are rad, right? So, so we, we, we know those guys from tour and from being into, you know, new funk, right? They're a funk band.

And, um, the lead guy w- w- w- they, they saw me, like, at The Bowl, and he knew me from tour.

He knew me from, like, running around, um, you know, with, with the pimps and stuff like that, Pimps of Joy Time.

He knew me from New Orleans a little bit, and he said to me, he goes, he goes, "Oh, you said you're training here." And I was like, "Yeah, yeah." I was like, you know, I was bussing.

... and you couldn't really put your own stamp on it.

Yeah, I couldn't get through, you know? And, uh, that's the same experience I had with the Bangura Party.

Like, I just, I, I just felt on the outside looking in, and I just didn't see myself getting to be there.
