Bus Won’t Start, But the Dream Won't Stop
When everything that can break decides to break—bus, budget, and belief—you find out what you’re really building. We pushed into our biggest Fryeburg Fair ever by tripling our booth size, stretching every dollar, and betting on our community. Then the week erupted: the bus died at a gas station, the camper lights quit at dusk, and the last credit card barely covered a rental truck. We turned wrenches in the rain, moved mountains with borrowed tools, and showed up on opening day running on fumes and conviction.
What happened next surprised even us. With friends under the chassis, family on the sales floor, and neighbors sending solutions at midnight, the booth came to life. Saturday became the second-biggest day in our company’s history. Inventory moved faster than announcements. People who watched the struggle online walked into the tent ready to buy, encourage, and celebrate. The power of small business isn’t just product; it’s the story of persistence your customers can see and feel.
We talk about the real cost of scaling a booth—rent, fixtures, tents, and the inventory math no one posts about. We open up about mechanical failures, cash flow choices, and why accountability and prayer became our pivot. Most of all, we share the blueprint that carried us: ask for help early, ship before it’s perfect, protect your energy, and keep your mission public. On the far side of breakdowns are breakthroughs. On the far side of sacrifice is triumph. If you’ve ever stood one setback away from quitting, this one is for you.

Thank you for Supporting My American Dream!
I am certainly beginning to believe that the closer we get to our goals, as we close in on achieving our dreams, we encounter our greatest obstacles. We have to overcome our biggest roadblocks. The difficulty level seems to ramp up higher and higher. The frustrations, the tensions, the disappointments, they all mount, they weigh on you. They deter you, they deplete you, and they try to defeat you. Today I am here to say to you do not let the tough times win. Do not let the dark days win. Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial. Let me tell you something. Everybody's struggled. The difference is some people choose to go through it and some choose to grow through it. The choice is completely yours. Which one you choose will have a very profound effect on the way you live your life. What it did, what it do, what it hot did it do. Good Lord Almighty. Am I excited to be back with you? Oh it's true, it is the damn true, Boo. Mm-hmm. Episode two hundred and seventy-three, and I hope y'all are happy to hear from me. Boys, girls, chipmunks and squirrels, I got a full frontal confession for you to start off today's show. Where's the Cabela's catalog? Let me find this sucker right here. Hang on. Listen to the background noise. Cabela's catalog. It's a big one. Ready? There it is. Left hand on the Cabela's catalog. D little eyes. Placed toward it to the sky. The truth. From this here to guy. I almost lost. I almost lost the fight, y'all. My frustration, my temptation, my commitment to the cause, my dedication, all challenged, all under fire. I found myself at an absolute breaking point. I don't know if uh all of you listening follow our social media pages. If you um know me well enough to be on my timeline on my friends list, we have listeners all over the country and now all over the world. So if you don't follow our social media channels like our uh podcasting page on Facebook and on Instagram, you should also follow our business page, Loud Proud American, on Instagram and on Facebook. And on Facebook this week I posted a video where I was at a breaking point. I was literally fresh off of a breakdown, and I said, In this moment, this is as vulnerable as I can be. I'm gonna turn this camera on, beaten and and damn near near defeating, but I'm not gonna be, right? I am starting the show off, telling you, confessing to you, admitting to you, my full frontal confessional right here, telling you right now, it was in the most vulnerable state of mine, at a point where I didn't know how much more I could give and how much further I could go. I knew in that time, in that moment, in that instant, if I was vulnerable enough to turn the f camera around on my face, beaten face. You understand? You can see the tears and the fears in my eyes as I recorded this message. I needed to take this opportunity to say, This shall not beat me, this shall not defeat me. I needed to take the time to thank each and every one of you that has supported us along the way, each and every one of you that listens to our show each and every week, each and every one of you that buys a piece of an apparel, that shares a message that we post, that you know shares a post, that sends a friend, that tells a coworker, that preaches and believers in loud, proud American. I needed to say to each and every one of you thank you. Thank you for pulling me through. I needed to say thank you to each and every person that has stopped their lives and and put their to-do list on hold to help me to chase my dream. I needed to say that to each and every one of you, thank you, thank you, thank you. And I needed to take the time and opportunity at my breaking point to say, God, thank you. And to say, God, I don't know how much more I can take. I need you, and I'm gonna have to give this to you. I was vulnerable, I was weak, and I needed the help. I made that post, I made that video, and I was absolutely blown away by each and every one of you, by so many of you. The responses on our Facebook page went through the roof from people saying, Hey man, I'm here, I got you. I'm praying for you, I got you. What do you need from me? The amount of people that sent me pictures of their trucks and trailers hooked up saying, I will come to you right now and I will handle this. The amount of people that offered their services, the amount of people that called with solutions and opportunities and creative ways to get us to the place we're at today was unbelievable and it was humbling. The support, the showering of love, it means more than you guys can possibly imagine. I've had so many people come into the tent this week at the fair and say, Hey man, I am so happy to see you here. Hey man, I'm proud to see you're here. This all of this, this experience, let's be honest. I wish I didn't have to go through the trials and tribulations. And I certainly know that I'm hardened by fire. But it's overwhelmingly amazing to have so many people come in and say, I'm proud of you, I'm here for you, I'm gonna support the cause, I'm buying something from you. The support is unbelievable. I have been challenged, I have been pushed to my breaking point, but all of y'all have pulled me through. I'm saying all of this to tell you right now, I'm sitting in my camper at the Freiburg Fair, a place that many would have questioned if we could get back to here. But we knew hell or high water, we were going to be here at the Fryberg Fair. We were not gonna take no for an answer. We found a way. I'm here recording today from the camper at the start of one of the most amazing fair weeks we are ever gonna have, and I know this to be true because of each and every one of you. That right there, folks, is my way of working this episode backwards. Because if you follow the social media, if you've reached out, if you know, then you know. But if you don't know, then I am going to fill in the blanks to pave the road, to paint the picture, to tell you how I got here today. That is what is on tap for the Loud Proud American sponsored podcast. Precisely, perfectly, beautifully named, share the struggle. But I'm gonna start with a little disclaimer. I'm gonna talk hard and fast and as quickly as I can possibly go, because I gotta get back down to the tent to uh help the wifey with the LowerProt American booth because she's down there right now with little Paisley Rain running the whole kit and caboodle by herself. My wife and Paisley running the tent. That is a challenge. Today is on the day that I'm recording this Woodsman's Day. It is one of the busiest days of the fair, and my wife is down there getting it done. I'm gonna talk hard and fast, and I'm gonna set the scene, and I am gonna make you scream. Okay? That's what we're gonna do, that's what we're gonna say, that's how it's gonna go today. If y'all have been listening, if you've been tuning in, if you're a day one, get your ones up, my loyal ones. If you've been here for 273 consecutive weeks, y'all know I love you. If this is your first show, then thank you for coming along this little rodeo, and I welcome you to this show. We are properly, precisely, beautifully named share their struggle because everybody struggles, and the truth is there is strength in each and everybody's struggle, and we just have to be willing to share that struggle. Over the past few weeks, our current struggle, outside of all the wildness, craziness in the world, has been us preparing for our biggest and our best and our largest event of the year. Also, us preparing for the greatest challenge we've ever taken, the greatest level of debt we've ever partaken, because we have challenged ourselves to the biggest display, the largest space we have ever done before. To pull all of these things off has been a challenge. When Lau Proud American started five years ago, we bet on ourselves and we got into the Freiburg Fair, we had a 10-foot space, 10 foot wide, 20 feet deep. Ever since then, we worked our way trying to get bigger and bigger. A couple of years ago, we graduated to a 20-foot wide, 20-foot deep space. That was fantastic. From the moment we did that, I have been asking about getting to 30 feet. We finally got the okay to expand to 30 feet. We are 30 feet wide, we are 20 feet deep. To do this, we needed to take and make a lot more risks and a lot more product. Now, by doing this, if you go back to day one, we've tripled our rent because we've tripled our size. So I'm adding an additional amount of um rent this year. And to buy another tent, I needed another 10 by 20 tent. I needed another canopy top, I needed a new canopy top for the other tent to make things all look seamless. That investment right there,$4,500. Add that to our rent, add that to the$600 in camping to be here. Add that to the fact that we then need more grid wall, we need more things, we need more fixtures. Add that expense to it, and then realize you need to fill this sucker. And if you've been listening along, then you know that it's been a challenging year for us, and we've been um robbing Peter to pay Paul, we've been going to events, floating the next event, rolling into an event, selling stuff, coming back, reinvesting more back into the business. So, what I've had to do this year is take out more equity lines. I've had to take out more credit lines, I've had to take more risks and more personal investments. I've had to sell things and reallocate things to keep this season rolling. I've broken more things than you can imagine this season, but we just keep picking up the pieces and we just keep moving forward. Trial by fire. We just continue to run hard and fast towards our dreams and towards our goals. Throughout the year, we have been met with more obstacles, we've had to overcome more challenges this year. As I'm leading up to our greatest event of the year, we are not in the correct and proper position for inventory because we just have not been able to afford it. And if you've been listening, you know we've challenged ourselves to a bunch of brand new first-time events. When we go into those events, they're not coming um to fruition as far as as successful as we had hoped for. They haven't panned out to be all that we um banked on or bet on them to do. So I'm talking about taking chances and and investing in product and traveling to Daytona, Florida from Arundel, Maine to take a chance to barely make a few bucks, to travel six hours to New York to barely make a few bucks. We're trying these things, we're applying to new things, we're taking risks because we know that we're not gonna find growth in our comfort zones, we're not gonna grow this business, we're not gonna chase our dreams and achieve our goals if we stay comfortable. If we continue to work from our comfort zones in our little hometowns, it's not gonna work for us. We need to shake things up. That's what we've done. And and it's been good and we're trending in the best direction because we're trending to have the best year we've ever had. But it's also going to be our most financially difficult year we've ever had because we're taking these chances and we're rolling the dice. And in between, you know, coming home from events, we're working on restocking everything. So as I just start to kind of paint a little picture for you guys, our year this year has been also summed up by mechanical failure. I want to say that our farm truck that I've had for a long time, it was actually the first and only new vehicle I've ever purchased in my life. Um, she could went kaput. She didn't make it after the winter. She's been toast. We didn't have a way to get the camper here. We bought um a truck, a great deal from some from some great friends of ours, and uh that was going great for us, but we ran into some mechanical issues, and um that vehicle is now the Liberty New Farm truck, it's doing all the chores at home and plowing the driveway and doing all those great things. But we needed to get a vehicle uh for the family and for hauling the camper. And um a great friend of mine, a brother of mine, Chris Woodcock, came along and said, Hey man, let me help you figure this out. And Chris and Noah, they helped me. Chris loaned me some money, and uh, we went and bought a a um a Yukon, a GMC Yukon, and um they said, you know, we'll go through it and get it ready for um you know hauling the camper scenario, and and we got that, and the air compressor to lift the airbags to haul the camper was blown. So you put a new one of those in. The motor mounts ended up being blown, you know, some brakes and rotors, all those things. So you continue to make those investments in in those things along the way. And you know, we were having people help us to haul things, to move things. It's been all these different challenges to make things work, and but we continue to be met by obstacle after obstacle, but we continue to overcome those obstacles and continue to find a way. We roll into the Windsor Fair. I get there and I lose all ability to shift the bus. We lose the gears in the bus. We lose the brakes in the bus. Noah talks to me on the phone about how to fix the gears so I can get off the fairgrounds. I park it in the campground. Noah drives up, puts a new brake line on it. Allie's dad, Dan, comes up and helps finish off the brakes, and we get that back on the road and we nurse that home. Every time there's a challenge, every time there's an achievement, it's met with an obstacle. Every time we find a reward, we're giving that reward to another avenue because we have something broken, we have something to fix, something to overcome. So we're working on these mechanical failures and all these breakings. We're trying to get caught up on all the loans and you know and and and risks we're taking, and you're trying to stay on top of the bills that you currently have, so you're having a difficult time being able to replenish the inventory that you need. So it's this vicious cycle where you're just chasing your own tail around in a circle. Now, we come back from from Windsor and we find ourselves with a grave challenge to restock our shelves. We're way off on inventory, and we just don't have the finances to figure it out. So we start to get as creative as possible, and we're moving things around and investing here and reinvesting here and moving this there. I'm trying to be very vague, but I want you to know what I'm describing to you is a crazy son of a biscuit, bound and determined to live his dreams, committed and dedicated to the cause, to the business, to the plan, to the reason, to the task at hand. So bound and determined, so committed, so steadfast in his beliefs that he will risk anything and take all challenges. I have maxed every single ounce of my life out to make it to get here. You also have encountered a family that is so dedicated and committed to this business that they too are making those risks and taking those chances. My mom doing everything she can to keep us afloat, investing in you know the product and the bills and to help us continue to move. My wife doing the same thing, borrowing money and doing these things, all of us pitching in and pulling in the right and same direction. We're all rowing in the same direction, we're all taking those chances. Together with creativity and intensity, we scraped up the funds to put ourselves in the best possible inventory position we can be in. And I just worked my ass off on getting things taken care of. Now, to add a few more, you know, difficulty bumps and lumps to the scenario. My mom, while we were at the last fair, she um managed to have three or four of her ribs broken. My cousin gave her a hug and uh thought a bear hug was a good choice. So my mom broke some ribs. She was out of commission, she wasn't able to help us with a little one for most of the time in between the fairs. Allie was adjusting to working from home. So I'm, you know, doing the daily daddy daycare stuff as much as I can, working in between, early in the morning, late at night, trying to get everything done. On the weekends, I just dedicate myself from sun up to uh till I can't stand up to get everything done and ready for this week. Now, over the weekend, I want to say, leading into the fair, um, Allie went to move the bus and said, Hey, we I can't move the bus, it's dead, I don't know what's going on. I go out there and I put a trickle charger on it, and every time I would go check on it, it would stop recognizing the charger. So I kept moving things around and trying to get that to work, and it was going back and forth. Long to short of it. A full day of charging, nothing. Bus, no luck, no go, no charge. I um make a few phone calls, and I had um three people to literally just uh stop what they were doing and come over and try to help. And I say three people because everybody kept taking a chance on trying to figure it out. Allie's dad came over and uh helped me work on it. My cousin Joey came over and helped me, and um Noah came over and helped, and through all of these uh steps here, we warrantied the battery, put a new battery in, which over the course of this year and last year, we've already done a new alternator and a new battery, and we've done a new starter and a bunch of other you know things to the bus. So we we we know that a lot of these things have already been taken care of, but uh we're having some kind of situation where the bus doesn't want to continue to run. So we get things going, and one day me and Noah get everything um straightened out so the bus is running and we think that we're good. On Tuesday before the fair, I usually Tuesday is the day where we bring the camper um to the fair, and uh on Wednesday we build our shell, and then that gives me a few days to get ready. Normally the fair opens on a Sunday, and we get here on a Tuesday. If you do the math on that. Now on Tuesday, I felt great that by 10 in the morning on Tuesday I was all done, all my printing, and I'd had put us in the best position possible to get to the fair and to crush it while we're here. So, doing all those things, I feel great. I come out and I said to the wife, hey, uh, let's go fuel up both vehicles. So Allie's gonna haul the camper, I'm gonna run the bus, we're gonna go to the gas station and fuel up. On the way to the gas station, the bus loses power and uh it's spitting and sputtering and it does not want to go. I manage to get to the gas station, I fill her up with fuel, and then she doesn't want to start. I spend three hours at the gas station trying to get this thing to start. No luck, no go. Um the guy that literally was working at the gas station was super cool, he kept coming out trying to troubleshoot and to help us. But this is where I want to start counting some blessings here and acknowledging the people in my life that put things on hold to come over and try to help. Allie's dad came over and uh he actually called work and decided to go in late to try to help out. Uh, Chris stopped and tried to help. My cousin was driving by and saw us and pulled in, and he came over to help. Noah uh stopped what he was doing and came over to help, and we ran into so many difficulties with the bus. We put a toe strap on it and towed a school bus down the road back home to my house. We get there and it's all hands on deck, fixing everything we possibly can. Uh, dropping a new fuel pump into the bus from inside the bus through the floor while other people are chasing electrical and resolving those things. Tuesday turns into uh you know 10, 11 o'clock night outside with the bus still not running, which turns into a Wednesday with a full day of working on the bus. Everybody stopping what they're doing to try to help with the bus, which turns into another day, Thursday working on the bus. Every time a new theory, a new thought, a new opportunity to do something, to chase something. More batteries go into the bus. Starter switch goes into the bus. A dealership tells us to tear apart the main wiring harness to the bus to chase that. It goes on and on and on. A grounding strap underneath the bus that we believe might be the final answer and resolution to the scenario. We recreate all of that only to be at a point on Thursday night at probably nine o'clock at night, where it's pouring, an absolute torrential downpour. Noah's on the ground, under the bus, outside, installing the strap, only to have nothing. Nothing work. During this time, another close friend of mine, Derek Down, volunteers to uh come to the house and pick our camper up because we're trying to find ways to conserve time at this point, because what we need is is time. We are now taking something that takes us three, four days to build and giving ourselves one day to do it. And while doing that, we don't have time to wait around to put our camper in. If you show up here at the day before the fair opens, you can wait in line for an hour or two just to get in with your camper. So we need to uh lighten the load a little bit. Derek shows up to um come haul the camper, and um the electrical on the camper is not working, the lights to the camper isn't working, and the sun's going down. It's it's nighttime, it's getting dark out. He says, you know, I I can't I can't haul this. And uh Derek leaves and we work on the wires on the camper and we get the lighting on that to work, and it's pouring and it's getting late, and uh my brother Toby Reynolds and his boy Gavin show up, and me and him load the camper up, and uh the three of us head up here and drop the camper off late night because now at this point I'm not gonna have uh the wife and the you know one-year-old hauling and they're dead of night, not being able to see anything when the truck is still getting adjusted correctly to running this camper and trying to set up and all those all that difficulty level that goes with that. So Toby stopped what he was doing, him and Gavin. We brought the camper up together. We got it in, we got it settled in, get home a little past 11 o'clock, and I just sit down and say, Man, I I don't know how much more of this I can take. I don't know how much more of this I can handle. And we're just running out of fixes or running out of patches to stop the leakage, you know? So it gets to the point where our only option is to rent a truck. And if you just heard my story, you know that we don't have the funds anymore to to continue to to hemorrhage money to make this work. Toby's wife Ashton got us a great deal on a Penske rental truck, so we get up first thing in the morning on Friday, and uh the family loads up and we head off to get a truck, and the total to pay for the box truck came in fifteen dollars under the absolute max that I had on my last remaining credit card. Fifteen dollars to spare. Get the box truck rented, get home, and start the process of taking everything out of the bus and throwing it into the truck. During this time, my uncle Mike Packard gives me a shout and he says, Man, I saw your video at three o'clock in the morning and I haven't been able to sleep. I gotta come over and look at the bus. Him and Ryan come over and they work on the bus all day. My mom helps me and Allie load up the box truck, and we take off while Mike's still working on the truck. He worked on that thing till I don't know, eight, nine o'clock at night, narrowed a lot of things down, made a lot of progress, but it's still not working. And we just didn't have the time to to stay. We had to take off and and and get here. So me and Allie and the baby headed to the fair. We get here and um just start plugging away the best we can. Sarah Perkins comes over and starts to help with us, and then Derek and Shannon down come over after work and they work with us till nine o'clock at night. Julia Frost from Underdog Metal comes over and she helps us. It's a family, it's a community all pitching in to help us make it. We worked until I want to say 11, 11:30 that night. This is after days of getting up at 5 a.m., 6 a.m. working outside on the bus till 10, 11 o'clock at night. This cycle trying to make everything work. Here we are Friday night. I look at the wife and I said, I can't do anything else. I I can't physically do anything else. We leave there and decide we need to get something to eat. We hit a drive-thru, come home, back to camp, in Little Paisley Rain, wants to party, and wants to stay up till after two in the morning. We probably fall asleep around two thirty. I get back up at six, try to sneak out the camper, head back down and spend the last few hours before the fair opens getting ourselves into a presentable position so we can try to be as successful as possible. Throughout that day on Saturday, opening day, we probably made seven or eight different trips with a poll cart from the box truck to the tent to load things up, to restock, to reload, to try to get things on the shelves the way that we needed them. It was an incredible challenge. We were both so overwhelmingly beat and spent. But I what I want to say to each and every one of you is in the five years of business for Loud Proud American, Saturday was the second largest day in the history of Loud Proud American. We sacrificed, we took chances, we took risks, and we stayed committed and dedicated to our beliefs, and we were rewarded. Our second largest day in the history of our business on Saturday. We were so busy, and we are still so busy that I haven't even made a post about being here, I don't think. Hopefully the wife has. Normally we're doing all the build-up and all the drama, showing off all the things that we're doing and releasing new items and all those things. Some of the new items that we made are gonna be sold out before I can make a video. That's the next challenge, right? What do you sell out of uh that uh could prevent you from hitting the numbers that you want to hit? But we had an incredible first day. We had an extremely strong second day. We are about to have a tremendous third day. I am convinced this will be the greatest event that we have ever done. Man, what a challenge, what a ride this has been. Perseverance. That's all I can say. Perseverance. We are taking a master's class in perseverance. Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. This has been a masterclass in perseverance. I can tell you that for sure. But we were rewarded, and we will continue to be rewarded. The challenge is still steep, the obstacles are massive, but I feel like we are going to be rewarded. On opening day of the fair, Pam Petingill came to me and uh she gave me a hug and she said, You know, when you confess your love for Jesus Christ, you know you're gonna be challenged, right? You know your faith is gonna be challenged. The devil is on your butt. Last week I made that confessional that I will no longer apologize for my beliefs, and I will lean into my beliefs. I was rewarded with a great challenge, a great deal of difficulty. I was at my breaking point. I sat at my coffee table with my wife at midnight after dropping off our camper saying, Baby, I don't know how much I have left to give. On Thursday, when I made that video, that video was seconds after me praying. That video was seconds after me saying, God, I gotta give this one to you. God, I don't know how much more I can do. I put those words out into the universe because I wanted to confirm my faith. I wanted to show I am still committed to my faith. When I am doubting myself most, when I am at my absolute breaking point, when I'm beginning to feel like I can't continue to overcome, I can't continue to beat and defeat these challenges and these obstacles. When I'm at that point, I need to say steadfast in my faith and in my belief when I am feeling depleted. Well, after giving that prayer, after being in my shed on my knees praying, I was overcome with the feeling that I needed to turn the camera on and make my confessional. Thank you. Thank you to each and every one of you that have helped to keep me going. Being a small business owner isn't easy. Being a small business owner will challenge you. Being a small business owner can beat you and it can defeat you, and it takes everything out of you, and it takes everything out of your family for them to be committed, for them to be committed to your cause. It's trying times, it's difficult times on everybody around you. It's not all glitters and rainbows, man. It is a challenging, dark time, oftentimes. It takes great deals of sacrifice, but you must remain committed, and you must continue to have faith that this too shall pass, that this will all work out. That was that was the message that I was delivering. Because I knew in those times, something told me now is the time for you to turn that camera on and reconfirm your faith in God, reconfirm your faith that this can work out, reconfirm to the world. Here I am at my lowest of lows as a business owner, and I still know I'm gonna pull through. I still know it's all gonna come true. These dreams are gonna come true. Why? Because I give it all to God, and my heart and my thoughts and my intentions are all in the right directions, and this will be glorious. On the other side of difficulty is reward, on the other side of sacrifice is triumph. I took the time when I was vulnerable to do a few things. Number one, say thank you to each and every person that's helped to pull me through. Number two, to make sure anybody else out there that is suffering, that is dealing with something, that is struggling, don't let the dark times win. Don't let the tough times win. Number three, and most importantly, give it to God. I wanted to make a public confession that I'm at my wit's end, and all I can do, all that's left for me to do is to give it to you. God is great. I promised you last week in honor of Charlie Kirk, I would not run from my fears, I would not hide my emotions, I would state my convictions. Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. We are here, and we shall remain here. Loud Proud American isn't going anywhere. We are off to the greatest start we have ever had at any event we've ever done. This will be the largest and greatest success in our story. I look forward to sharing those success stories with you next week. But until then, I must get down to that tent and begin to crush it. From the bottom of my heart, thank you, thank you, thank you to each and every single one of you. Thank you for supporting our American dream. That's it, and that's all, Biggie Smalls. If you're allowed proud American, and you find yourself to find me on YouTube and Facebook and Loud Proud American Facebook, if you're fancy Ram Crackett, you wanna find me on Instagram Tickety Tackin on the TikTok, you can find me on all of those loud underscore crack underscore. You are enjoying what you're hearing background for the gun structure. I truly thank you for supporting my American dream. Now go wash your fucking hands, you filthy savage.
