How did that car come to be? Was that something you always wanted? Was it something that was just an opportunity and too good to deal to pass

11:14
you know, when the, when the B5 RS4 was first announced, it was like, I had seen, I had seen an RS2 on my travels to Europe, you know, and I didn't even really know they existed.
11:25

11:31
I wasn't so, I just liked Audis.

A lot went to Mexico and a lot went to, to, to the West, and the Buffalo soldiers was definitely a good part of, of that, uh, exploration.
49:28
So, do you mean, like, the barbecue culture of Chicago was shaped by Black folks who came not just straight up north, but through the Southwest and then up to Chicago?
49:39
Well, I think the barbecue culture of Chicago is, is shaped by the migration, uh, uh, you know, of us moving to the North, you know, where some went to New York, some went through Appalachia, ch- you know, to Chicago.
