Slowly, I become a better person and slowly I become a better person because that's the way I act most of the time that's that's like the that's the qualifier that's the asterisk that you have to look at the end of the contract and say oh yeah Mike said he's not a good human oh there that's what that means okay I got it I got it yep that's the that's the clause that we didn't read terms and conditions that nobody ever reads selfish self-centered asshole right but I mean like you said it just all easy I keep saying easy is that the wrong word but maybe it's not you know what simple yeah simple program for complicated people you know yep and I I love that because it is it's just so true so so true
