hey guys I've uh I've been playing basketball with same group of guys for

20 years. We went to breakfast the other morning. We were talking about things that we did when

we were a kid. And my buddy Kenny, he's a black guy. And I said, "Kenny," I said, "did you ever

run around your neighborhood and ring doorbells and run when you were a kid?" And he goes, "Yes,

I did." And I said, "What'd you call that?" And he looked at me, he says, "Chris, I called that

the same thing you called that and I said I said okay I apologize I

apologize my friend he goes no that's just what we called it and I said all

right I said well now I've got a 25 year old son so when my son was the age

had a ring camera so all my neighbors are sending me videos so the the kids
