So when 139 00:05:40.519 --> 00:05:43.240 when when he actually came with it, I was like, damn, 140 00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:44.800 He's like, this is my version of the moon rocks 141 00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:45.519 they talking about. 142 00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:48.439 So I'm like, damn, you know I heard about this shit. 143 00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:49.079 You feel me? 144 00:05:49.319 --> 00:05:51.800 So this is my first time really experiencing Keith at 145 00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:54.920 that time.
