"Probably not, yeah. And even the stats actually total zone baseball references pre DRS defensive metric has him during his peak years with the Giants at plus 16 overall at second base. So his big negative seasons were early in his career. And wait, when he was like, you know, late 30s or 40s. So I think during his prime, he was a perfectly cromulent defensive second baseman and obviously he was one of the better hitters at that position all time. So again, it's a reasonable Hall of Fame case. He was not like a total clunker out there. You weren't a total clunker. It's fine. Man. I come here not to bury Jeff Kent, but to not even to praise him either, but just to say he was pretty okay. He's pretty okay, you know? Okay, plagues, second base. So if he ends up in the Hall of Fame, that is fine. But really, you know, Jeff Kent and there were like 304 opportunities with aurelia on the field in Kent and no one else has more than 40, which is like Ramon Martinez or 46, I guess ray Durham. So he just didn't really have any other regular partners at least at the major league level. So it's kind of faint praise, I guess, when he's saying no one was better than Jeff Kent because he didn't have that many other double play partners and they weren't for the most part really elite defensive second baseman. But it is still technically true. Technically true. All right, and I guess we can do a past blast now before we get to our guest, we have a guest. I haven't mentioned that, but we do. But this is the inaugural pass blast provided by new past blaster and perhaps final pass plaster. We will see who will bring us up to the present day. David Lewis, so David Jacob ranky previous past blaster gave us a little summary of David last time. But David would like to be credited as an architectural historian and baseball researcher based in Boston. That's sort of sums it up in one line. But he's also in turn for saber and intern for the Hall of Fame and is a big history buff in general. So here is his first submission. And he headlined it Frick pitches the spit ball. So 1961, 40 years after outlying the spitball and 50 years prior to banning spider tech, Major League Baseball briefly considered reinstating the spitball as a legal pitch. In 1961, Roger Maris hit a record 61 home runs while his Yankees set the single season team record with 240 homers, following the season commissioner Ford C Frick supported a proposal to reduce the frequency of the long ball. In a New York Times article published on November 7th, 1961, Frick suggests that the spitball would bring an element of surprise back to baseball while lowering home run totals. Frick continued, quote, the most effective spitball is the one that the pitcher doesn't throw, the glove in front of the face routine that a pitcher goes through preparatory to throwing a spitball is just part of the psychology of throwing the batter off stride. More often than not in the old days, the pitcher never threw this bitter and David continues later that year at baseball's annual winter meetings, the proposal to legalize the spitball was introduced to the rules committee by White Sox traveling secretary Ed short, despite Frick's best efforts, the committee voted 8 to one in favor of sustaining the ban on the spit ball. So that's interesting to me. This may have come up in a previous podcast, but it's interesting to me just because we're always such prisoners of the moment and the offensive environment it seems we're always so reactionary. If a lot of homers are being hit, if there's a lot of offense, it's like, oh boy, what can we do? Should we bring back this pitfall if pitchers are too dominant? Let's ban this pitfall. It's always just sort of swinging wildly from one pole to another, and we never exactly decide what we want baseball to look like in any kind of formal way when it comes to the offensive environment. So it's always sort of ad hoc. It's like, oh, we got to make an adjustment here. We got to put our thumb on the scale. Let's unbanned this thing we previously banned her. It's been this thing, a new and we'll just sort of somehow try to find an equilibrium here. So it's funny because it's like the spitball is perfectly fine. It's sometimes and then like the pitchers get too good or it gets dangerous or whatever and it's like, oh, we gotta ban this thing and then the hitters have the upper hand. We gotta bring back the spit ball and then right after that, of course there was the pitcher's the pitcher era after they changed the strike zone and some other things. And then it's like, oh, well, we gotta change the strike zone back. And we gotta lower the mound and then we get to the 2020s and it's like too much sticky stuff in the pictures are too good. Let's ban all sorts of sticky stuff. Let alone the spit file. So it's always just kind of wildly pinging back and forth. It seems like. Yeah, yeah. Oh gosh. I don't know if there's like a, I don't know, rigorous way that we should do this. Like we should all just decide this is the ideal way. This is what we want the sport to look like. We'll all vote. We'll all have a say, and then we will sort of scientifically lab league and all the rest and figure out how to bring things into line with the specifications that we have decided on. I mean, I guess they're trying to do that now, but again, through what I was like offenses up and then it's like, oh, we need to bring back the shifts. I would not be surprised if that happens at some point in the future. Yeah. All right. Well, you can enjoy David's past blast stylings for the next 60 plus episodes, so 70, who knows? We'll see. And I will link to the various places that you can find him on Twitter and his website and so forth.

"God's splashy announcement of the birth of Jesus did two things. It showed that God came for not only kings, but for the lowliest of them all, the shepherd, who was typically the youngest in the family. During biblical times, birth order indicated importance. Each son grew out of shepherding and on to more important labor until the youngest son eventually became the family shepherd. We see this in king's David life when Samuel went to Jesse's house to anoint Israel's new king and Jesse only presented the 7 older brothers to Samuel. The youngest was forgotten. Second, it reinforced the shepherding concept traced through both testaments. In the Old Testament, we read of Abel Moses David Jacob and God. God was a shepherd to his wayward sheep, the Israelites. In the New Testament, Jesus calls himself the good shepherd who lays down his life for his sheep. God esteemed shepherds, hence his night sky announcement to them. The ones who went about their business tending sheep over the same Meadows repeating the same daily cycle were the first to hear the news of the messiah's birth. In our day to today lives, we can get tunnel vision with what's before us. We drive the same route day after day, cook the same set of meals and deal with the same difficulties that don't seem to end. Disappointments with our lives overtake feelings of joy enjoy seems lost.

"But studies have shown that doctors have anti fat bias to in one survey of four hundred doctors. Almost twenty percent admitted that they disliked or were disgusted by obese patients. Studies have found. That patients are picking up on this. They're like yeah. I can tell and they tell researchers that doctors are crappy to them which makes them not wanna go in one person. We reached out to said that she was afraid to go to the doctor. Because of this we also hear stories of doctors being so focused on a patient's weight that they totally miss serious health problems like janet told us about this one woman named rebecca but initial symptom. That made her go to. The doctor was that she was having trouble. Breathing and several physicians attributed her difficulty breathing to her body mass index. They said you're obese. That's why he can't breathe. You need to lose some weight. Come back later. And in actuality rebecca had was lung cancer. That's really terrifying. It is okay. So where does this leave us. Well for people with higher beam is we do see an increase in some conditions like diabetes and some cancers and mobility problems but this is far from universal. Lots of fatter people are perfectly healthy. And of course some skinnier people are unhealthy. A few scientists told me that it's best to think of a high bmi as just one risk factor not the be all end all generally though if we could wave a magic wand and make everyone on earth a normal bmi we probably would be healthier. The problem is harry potter has been canceled. There is no magic wand and weight. loss's super hard. In fact only something like one in five people who tries to lose weight can lose it and keep it off so given that it probably makes more sense to stop obsessing over the scale and pay more attention to our behaviors. but we're eating. And how much removing for example. One dutch study followed overweight and obese. People for fifteen years and found that those who got lots of exercise had no increased heart disease risk and a bunch of other studies find similar things. That healthy behaviors cut down lots of problems regardless bmi for me personally all this made me realize there was no reason to freak out when i crossed over into this overweight category.

Yeah it's much broader than that It's all program that the experiences are involved in and Apparently they train you and But memories in your head and and Do a lot of things to you that that The implants are only the tip of the iceberg about. Do you know if you've ever been taken or beamed aboard or anything like that. Oh yeah. I think i've reasonably that's happened hundreds of times. Do you have any recollection of it. Yeah recollections of Detailed recollections of several of the experiences I recall some of it spontaneously and And a lot of under hypnosis. And you've said that the et's looked like alien grace right. Yeah most of the ones. I've seen quite typical grays I do remember seeing some Some tan grays That looked a lot like the one on the cover. Of willie streamers book communion at one point and I found out I remember under hypnosis. That's the the grays Told me that there An alliance of several similar species That live in solar systems. One hundred light years of here and Dr larry thought that the gray was a Was the end point of most humanoid species After they've had technology for a very long time. Has anybody replaced dr lear. Now that he's passed on. Well i'm doing the The the Not medical research That he was doing but I need i need a partner where the surgeon you need a surgeon that's rebels and to date. There's no other surge in doing this now. i i heard something about About darryl sims Doing some moveables in india. But that's all i that's all i've heard of okay. Well i doubt if a lot of people would go to india to get this done. Yeah but Yeah i think he's been able to partner what they a doctor here either. What do you think they want with us. Well want a lot of things They want to My in the earth moon system for resources that are rare where they come from gold and uranium and thorium being Three of them rarer. It's stuff like that. That are often rare where they come from. aerospace materials like titanium be another thing and They want to kind of mind. The dna of humans in earth's creatures and they're creating hybrids of themselves in humans They're modifying the dna of the human race to try to make us more more able to join the galactic community. Is there anything nefarious going on here that we should be worried or concerned about it depends on your point of view. I suppose if you think that humans the way they are the end all be all then their style. if if not then they're less hostile or beneficial depending on your point of view. I mean if you listen to dr david jacobs. They're out to get us. I don't really believe that They do a lot of things that are Against our laws and they treat they treat most experiences like Lab rats or Subjects but I think that's just the way they are. They don't treat their own people any better They th they seem to be pure intellect and They also one thing with this kind of disturbing about and they kind of remind me of nazis Nazis why They're very nationalistic and Very mission oriented. They're not mean and cruel like human nazis but they start reminded me of them. I think that Their organization yes yes organization and Actually the germans. I had contact for the first kind of contact with them back in the nineteen thirties. Apparently i've always heard the possibility that the germans even made it craft based on stuff like that. Yeah i think that's that's highly probable The the germans were the first to get to get Crashed ufo back in nineteen thirty two. I think it was the one across the black forest or personally how interested are these apparent e. t.'s with saving mother earth and. They're very interested in that they're afraid we're going to mess it up They have technology that could reverse the damage we've done and they're trying to minimize the damage and after the populations reduced They're planning on on Reversing the damage that we've done Using their technology and The population apparently is going to be reversed both Both of them and Our government want that. So i think we're in for some very interesting times ahead. What star system do they come from. Did they say yeah they wouldn't say i wouldn't say You know all of their their home bases their their capital. They're keeping a secret in the direction of the constellation orion and the the three great pyramids in on the plane of visa or representative of iran's belt he probably knew that and That's because they're capital is in that direction and two of their systems are our planet or zeta articulate for and Sixty one some of your history It's interesting that sixty some address three is in science fiction. The home of hostile race called isn't thing. Are these the same beans that were involved in the barney and betty hill abduction case. Yes definitely. they're the ones doing most of the abductions. There are other races coming here. like the The reptilians etienne's but The greatest definitely do most of the abductions are they all friendly The reptilians are not very friendly. I think they're they're Less friendly than the gray is by far. The planes are more friendly. but they're pretty hands off. they don't do any abductions to my knowledge.

"Up ben at the edges so my issue with the seven countries study is not having measured diet in individual which was based on an understanding in nineteen sixty as i said nutritionist being mired in complexity in feeling that you really didn't learn anything if you didn't know all of these details which by the way we didn't really know how to put together so we're gonna put it together justice in as a nutrient on the other hand in the pure study in their diet papers they have not shown it by cohort so the the between this had to be very careful. Interpreting the between cohort ifferences are very interesting and within cohort. Differences are very interesting. And you shouldn't be ignoring either. A to shouldn't just collapse them. I wish in the seven countries study that there have been more individual data and there is actually in some of the cohorts some of that's been published and on the other hand. I wish in the pure study that Because they do have a substantial amount of individual data on every person they have all these different courts. I wish they would presented by court so that that you could look for a horse in situations statistic particularly low economic development countries. That are just completely different. Yeah one of the this. This is actually perhaps pulling in some of maybe your earliest work. But if i remember correctly did you work on some of the modeling on inter individual variation and blood cholesterol levels and higher that meant that it could make associations where blood cholesterol is mediation impacts Se dice it could make associations more difficult to detect out a population level. That actually goes back to a paper that was published in nineteen seventy nine thirty. Yeah getting to be ancient history That was my excursion into what is now called either regression dilution bias or errors in variables models in epidemiology. We assume that the independent variables are fixed. So if i'm take take the diet say. Diet patterns gore's had traded fat. I assume that we know what each person's value is and then the random variable is the long term outcome or the time to event and In the errors in variables models. You say well.

"What you're choosing so that works by well it's It's a chore for people to understand exactly what it is. It's it's a more in-depth statement than the alternative healthy eating index dash diet. Some things like that where people have tried to simplify it into a sort of ten easy steps or something. The point that was going to make is that for dairy we coded dairy as a high fat or low fat. And so you get generally speaking. You get more points for low fat theory. If we're wrong about that an actually fermentation is the issue in the yogurts. Cheeses are gonna be good for you. The liquid milk Maybe the butter is not going to be good for you. We would have to reformulate the score in order to Give people credit for that right now. They eating yogurt yes. It's good if it's low fat. Eating yogurt at full-fat would be rated bad and in terms of that particular score. You would you would lose points for that. I actually think that when i go to the grocery store. Most of the yogurts zero fat. Nab means they've taken out all of that dairy stuff which contain saturated fat but contain some other things as well and you have replaced it with some kind of carbohydrate and that seems to be a really bad idea. So that's something where you could see kind of tweaking the score at the level of saying what if we formulated a little bit differently but we get a different answer and we think about that. We haven't actually done that but we do. Think about it. A going back to your original question how. You formulate the score. Is everything in terms of literature. Gonna figure out epidemiologically to bring things in a slightly different but related area. One of the concepts. I did want to ask you about was when we have large data sets and we're looking at an analysis of that data particularly you've written about when this data's being gathered over ecological units and how we have to be very mindful of how that data analysis goes and i think you gave a really good example of referencing machine Study with the pure study where they concluded that high carbohydrate intake was associated with higher risk of total mortality and off the back of that they were giving this recommendation to ab reconsider dietary guidelines. And i know you are quite eloquently about that issue and how that relates to this concept of data that's collected over ecological units. And how we go about that data analysis. I was wondering. Could you may just go into that for people in riffa bill on the idea because back in a way to the issue that you raised about variability between cultures within cultures and If you not look across cultures which hansel keys did in the seven countries study in which salim yousif did in the cure study. You can't see those extreme differences. You don't even get a hint about them but when you only look within study you may still see some very strong relationships. But you're not necessarily seeing how the relationship is not linear.

I by making dietary are give the example of this score that we develop a priori diet polity score which as i mentioned a little bit earlier in iowa was based on thirty four food groups in cardia that i've been working with more recently. It is forty six. We've just published in the past. Few months of three papers showing that that score is related to reduce cardiovascular disease to reduced incident diabetes mostly type two diabetes and to better maintenance of kidney function so that score actually we have Maybe twenty food groups that are rated positively so that would be fruit. It would be yellow vegetables. Green vegetables other vegetable is quite a few items for the bench tables nuts and seeds at think Yet to food groups coffee tea as beverages get up in those are all good and then we have another thirteen or adverse and. We have thirteen that. We couldn't decide instead. Well fill out the whole diet will give you a forty six but only the thirty three camp so you can look at all that and One thing that that score does is it forces people to eat from a variety of foods. Because he can only get four points for food. We put people into five categories. Either quintiles or foods are not very much zero group and then or tiles. And if you're at the top of that for a positively rated food you would get a get a score for and if you're at the bottom of that for an adversary related rated food you would get a for a but in order to get a good score you have to eat and get a good points from a variety of foods from either eating or not eating and then you still have some of your diet leftover so you can look in the other thirteen food groups.

"To simplify because there are many many foods and well it turns out that there's many many constituents at foods also i don't know which are more the number of foods are the number of constituents but the thinking was anyway in the early days in nutrition there were fifty five nutrients that so the word nutrient is actually reserve those fifty five things which were judge to be essential for life in the early founding. Fathers and mothers thought that they're in other other things that we might eat but maybe they're not nutrients are just filler or empty calories. Things of that type have been used. So this this idea of using because with the top down approach using say for example various score based or indices for epidemiology. 'cause i think what you were saying was okay you know. The reductionist approach was in itself. An effort to simplify with the food based approach. Though you can have. Let's say for example. We use a healthy eating index. Let's scored out of a hundred. It still has the potentially two or the potential perhaps to miss capturing some of the synergistic effects of foods. If it's kind of crudely like vegetables for example right so what defines a food in what defines a category. That's the challenge. What should you count as a positive and negative if you look at all the varietals of onions or apples or whatever. They're all subtly different from each other. They're more alike within. Say the category of apple or within the category of onion than they are between apples and onions or apples onions in meat. So the score which we developed in the cardia study. We have forty six food. Boop send in the iowa studied the same score week used only thirty four food groups but scores like the like the healthy eating index Tend to reduce the categories more than that so that i think that they did not necessarily give clear answers to what to eat just because they're not a specific enough but the challenge really is It's a statistical challenge. What what's your metric out of you. Decide what a food is. Had he decide what a nutrient nutrient is a little bit easier to get at because you can take a food table. Say six thousand or twenty five thousand food items and you actually have subjected each one to laboratory testing for whatever it is you can subject it to testing for nutrient so you could get the amount of carbohydrate for.

"Up years ago when people were thinking that dietary fat was predictive of breast cancer. And you could see wide variability across cultures which is confounded. With many other things and then within a given cohort. You had less power because you just didn't have examples of people. Eating within a single culture didn't have examples appealing Leading one very low fat in other people eating mary high fat so the The ability in epidemiology to discover asssociation in part depends on the range of the variable in if the range is more narrow than you can't see as much dia patterns are also restricted but the correlation. And i'm talking about its consistency within person. So epidemiology worked better. If you have a single characteristic which characterizes the person for their whole life if you think about the framingham score and what happened in the early days cardiovascular epidemiology with cholesterol and blood pressure smoking. They had measured those things once between age. I think thirty five and sixty four and found ten years later that they predicted disease. So why would that. One measurement predict you know lie witnessed. Just be some random number. If i came back and had measured you tomorrow or next year for years ago it would be completely different. So that kind of correlation with in-person says that people follow along some kind of consistent track if it's less and less consistent than to get the average exposure said the average dietary pattern in takeover many years he would have to have by a few measures and average them so the variability in epidemiologists a complex If there's not too much variability within your sample you may miss an important effect but if people are too variable within themselves than you don't characterize him very well and you will not see any outcomes as well One of the things that this is is useful for as you've highlighted is epidemiology this concept of by nature. It's looking at things from top down approach but what are do you think the kind of challenges of you know for example to look at a dietary pattern. It's going to be a a score based using some form of index on. So what kind of challenges do you see for you. Know for the top down approach epidemiology rather than say. Oh we've got this range of Saturated fats the only thing we're looking at you're looking at is for example. A plant based diet score or a healthy eating index type score challenges are kind of there from an epidemiological perspective in deriving at achieving. This kind of relative estimate of consistency in a person over time when you talk about complexity one of the reasons that people went to a nutrients is.

"My name is danny lennon Of course alongside. Alan flanagan as usual and today we are delighted to have a very very special guest professor. David jacobs someone who is influenced both allen and i in our thinking around nutrition science in a number of ways. Both broadly about nutrition science as well as specifically on some of the concepts will hopefully discuss today so Professor jacobs welcome to the podcast. Thank you very much. It's very nice to be here. Yes and There's lots that we could get into. But i suppose as a good starting point give people listening. Some context could you. Maybe i speak to perhaps the regions of how you came to start thinking so deeply through these metal level questions about nutrition. And what drew you to that in the first place. I think i'd like to start with my work on whole grain foods. We could go a little bit further back if you're interested in the relationships with answer keys and that work and a little bit before i started really getting into nutrition but starting in nineteen ninety four. There was a question asked to me as part of a consultation. With general mills the cereal company flour company about whether whole grains were better than refined grains. I had done quite a bit of work. Kind of on the edges of nutrition and especially with respect to serum cholesterol but. I had not done that kind of thing. And so We did a project in found That whole green in the literature was related to reduced cancer rates in a series of case control studies and the power of that single nutritional variable was pretty remarkable. But still if it seems too good to be true. It probably isn't so we had another study. The iowa women tell study which was about forty thousand women aged about sixty two and they were followed at that time for about nine years was so we could look prospectively at especially vascular disease which was my main interest cancer Consumption of whole grains was related to future disease. We only had death in these women so we did not have nonfatal events but it turned out to be very strong and that was published in nineteen ninety eight and by that time i had become a true believer in nineteen ninety nine. We published a paper showing that in the iowa women. The relationship was actually extending to a wide variety of different conditions. Not just basketball.

"Close all the kelly was in court again yesterday and a chicago. Based physician specializing in internal medicine appeared and testified that he had been treating r kelly since one thousand nine hundred for his name was chris mcgrath and he said that kelly knowingly infected women with herpes in violation of public health laws that require people who have an infectious venereal disease to notify their partners about that diagnosis. They said it's difficult to prove. Because it's not easy to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant knew he was infected when the sexual intercourse took place. However testimony from a doctor who was treating. R kelly is damning. Evidence shows that as far back as two thousand seven are kelly knew he had an aerial disease. If it can be proven that he knew and that he continued to have sexual intercourse than the offense can be proven against him now. He also did not pay for his medical services at all he actually would give the physician and his wife free tickets to concerts an sometimes pay for them to travel to concerts around the country.

"When he decided to go solo. Yeah it was. You know. I think the decision to do that was Out of you know i. It was a couple of things. I was ahead of job job. So i didn't have as much time to to collaborate and with with another artist and i had these other songs in the back of my head and i wanted to. I guess wanted just sort of try as a solo song because i had had these product. Katie's at box. Where does i was always like the producer backup vocals like just behind. The front man was like let's see. Let me see if i've got the chops to to be the front songwriter to like to have all of my ideas upfront. And that's kind of what spawned the idea of you know to do like kindness. Courage and i had all the chops as the producer recording engineer. And my home studio. So i had all that behind me and it was me wanting to to see how it worked and i i recorded it and i was just. I was super nervous. But i think the the the the luck of the first strike or beginners lock or like the universe saying keep going like. I released the first track kindness. Courage got some good critical view. Narrates the second track promise and it got immediately on a spotify algorithm editorial post which now i look back. That was huge back. In the day i was like oh yeah. Of course it is because it's great song and that's how that's how it's going to be arrested. But that's been the only editorial place but that like rocketed music to everyone millions of fans so it was great. And then you know from that there had a lot of tv and film placements from that ep. So there's been this this just Motivation on the back end for For my music and demand from different producers creators sink agents and listeners say gates. It's good so i kind of got this affirmation of like yeah i. I am good enough as a songwriter to to be the front man Are thank you. And i appreciate the kind words and and i was just hanging with a songwriter yesterday. Actually about this. And i was like i. I miss. I miss having a partner or a team. Because i think as a solo artist doing and as a solo in the artist i should say it's it relies so much on my shoulders at like the everything. The marketing the recording the production. The the the songwriting the the the finance the connections the pr. It's all on my shoulders. And it's it can be really tiring after a while. And so i'm like i use like just even if it's just me like hiring a producer like i can use a producer on my next album or like an studio engineer so i can at least offload that and like so. I'm thinking i'm thinking about this another album coming on. I'm definitely gonna there's definitely gonna be a team with me just so i can have a little have a little more. Fun is my is my goal for the next songwriting project. Well inviting in producer makes a whole. Lotta sense is gives you a second seventy years. A psychotic completely remake song absolute. And i'm finding a lot of value in that i mean it's perfect segue. I think the first track we're in a shares that that over and over the alternate mix With a i worked with a fabulous producer. David jacobs strain He's in americana songwriter. A amazing songwriting amazing producer. And i've worked at a few other tracks but he was able to to your point he Having that second set of ears he was able to really hear what i was doing. It's all good. And i really like these three aspects of what you're doing. I really feel like the soul of the song is in those three aspects to pull those aspects out an emphasize those through some different instrumentation heated. Might oh my god like. That's that's amazing. I was so excited and happy. Pleased with what he did. Because as role of producer he can That second set of yours can really hear what you're trying to do and go okay. I see your direction. But i think we turn those down and turn these two up. It's gonna get your direction a lot clearer on so matt for sure. Well i definitely. I love both virgins. They definitely love the alternative version. Thank you but it is dedication of love for your wife like the song. Promise that won critical acclaim as well. Yeah yeah and. I think it's funny i. It's just like what's happening in my universe. At the moment the promise was a dedication it was actually a dedication. It was kind of a i took our wedding vows and kind of mash them up into a song form so is basically like i said. See your wedding bells that we you know we. We'd been married probably year and a half by then. Mostly casey wedding bells. That's the most romantic thing interesting. The wedding vows. And i was like oh just in summary in song form. These are our hopes. These is what we are saying to each other. And so that's like so. The female part is like my wife's wedding bells is like yeah. This is terrifying and this is scary. But here i am in mind was like y'all promised to be there for you so it was great. I mean it was like really cool to have that. As one of the first songs i did end people be like. That's a really good song. So okay i kind of have the chops again. It's like it gave me that. That positive reinforcement to keep going super listened to the track over and over. The alternative version released march. Twenty twenty one avenue. On how you four i have been i would have been wrong shy real ray from fouling up because to me a mosaic she. Good perfect was.
