What is good, good people? You and I listening to another episode of Since We Last Spoke with Danny Foxworth. I am your humble narrator, Danny Foxworth, and once again we're joined by an extremely special guest. I mean, listen, the man needs no introduction. He's the head of Twankle and Glisten, which will be on Saturday, August the 22nd in Atlanta at the loft. And we're going to talk about that. And I tell you what, I went there last year, and it, brother, I had a funky good time out there, man. So, ladies and gentlemen, friend of the podcast, Chattanooga Zone back for the fourth time. The good brother DJ Wiley Sparks. Wiley Sparks. What's happening?
SPEAKER_02What's happening? What's happening? Man, I can't complain, dog. I'm happy to be here. Happy uh that you shared your platform with me again, man. I always enjoy talking to you. You know, we got a whole lot of similar interests, you know what I'm saying? So this is always a good time, man. I'm it's it's a pleasure speaking with you anytime I get the opportunity to.
SPEAKER_00Man, I'm glad you could be on. So, Twinkle and Glisten. For those that aren't aware of Twankle and Glisten, let the people know what it is and what they can expect.
SPEAKER_02So, Twinkle and Glisten is a celebration of classic Southern rap music and classic Southern rap or just classic sub, you know, culture. You know what I mean? So, you know, uh gold grills, candy paint, you know, bowling ball paint, you know, cookouts, swing it down, you know, freaknik, black college reunions, you know, South Carolina thing, you know what I mean? Uh all that type of stuff. If you if you attended any of those events and you know what it was like to be in the mix of any of all any of those types of events and you know the music that was playing when those things were uh were happening, then twangling glisten is for you, man. So uh but yeah, it's it's it's l legitimately uh kind of my my uh my personal my personal salvo into the preservation of southern rap culture in a party environment. You know what I mean? Since that's what I do. I'm a I'm a party DJ by default. That's uh my trade, so to speak. And uh it's a way for me to apply the thing that I love, you know, thing that I uh cut my teeth on as a DJ, straight up Southern rap music. And uh and yeah, man, you know, that's that's kind of what it is, man. It's really just a celebration of the South.
SPEAKER_00And I went there last year for the first time, and man, I hadn't stayed out that late in a long time, but boy, I tell you, it was well worth it. Oh my gosh, I had so much fun. Just meeting more internet friends in real life, man. I got to meet Shakia Taylor, I got to meet uh yeah, shout out to my dog uh Dante from October's own Tay on uh on Twitter, and he has a baseball podcast as well, so shout out to him. And man, brother, I got a hug from Don Montgomery. Like that special. Brother special. That completely made my 2025. I'm like, y'all can't tell me shit after that, man.
SPEAKER_02But yeah, that was a that was an absolute She's very captivating. Yes, she is.
SPEAKER_00That's putting it lightly, man. Shout out to her. So yeah, um, so that's again, that's gonna be on Saturday, August the 22nd from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. at the loft in Atlanta, Georgia. Pull up, get your tickets. I'll have all of the links and for the where you can get the tickets in the bios. Now, is another thing that I wanted to talk to you about because one time we were on here and we talked about how you got into wrestling, and for me, the conversation is a lot more interesting when you talk about your favorites versus who you think is the goat because there's always some kind of personal attachment to why that particular person is your favorite. But I want to flip it on its ear. I want to know who your least favorite wrestlers are. And see if they match up with mine. So what you want, you want me to do what, top three, top five?
SPEAKER_02Uh let's do top five. Okay. All right, top five least favorite wrestlers. Uh, I'm gonna go I'm gonna go five to one. Okay. So five is gonna be triple H. And not because I don't think Triple H is awesome. Triple H, you know, he he he he is where he is because he was a very, very, very, very good wrestler. He was good at his job. He played the hill role well because I hated him almost almost anytime I was on screen. But I just never, ever, ever, ever liked anything that he was doing, whether he was a heel or if he was face. He has maybe like four or five matches that I really enjoy. The hell in a cell with the undertaker, where Shawn Michaels was a referee. That's a very, very good match. But even then, one of the things I don't like about Triple H is is he he he creates these legendary moments that don't are really they don't need to be, there's no reason for them to be he's only doing that to me, to me. He's only doing things like that to to prop up his own legend, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. Because why are you why are you on a a major pay-per-view car in a hell in a cell match with The Undertaker with nothing on the line? And Shawn Michaels is a guest referee, and you and why do you, of all people, get the seven, eight-minute entrance when you have no belt? You know what I'm saying? That makes sense. And then when you do have a belt, and and when when, depending on whatever belt he had, whether it was the uh the big gold belt when it was the world heavyweight championship or the WWE title, the the uh the John Cena spinner, because he was halt, you know, that's what he had at most of the time during that time. With what whatever belt you had, the other world championships seemed secondary. You know what I'm saying? Or you made it, you it was made to seem secondary secondary because he was holding it. And I just that never that never really jrived with me, man. I didn't I didn't like that. He he just he seems like he seems like a person that believed his own hype because he created the hype himself. Or it was created for him. So that's triple H. He's number five. Okay. Uh number four, number four is Greg Kylie. I think that's kind of self self-explanatory. He's just just a a giant human just moving around. Like, bro, your finishing move just you just chopping motherfuckers on the head, that's all you're doing? Just chop. That's it. And that's it. Come on, bro. I and I get I get the spectacle of you being a gigantic human, right? Yeah. And then you just hitting somebody and you know, your hand is such so big, it's like being hit with a uh a club and a frying pan and a baseball bat all at one time. I I get the optics of it. It still looks stupid. You know what I'm saying? So, Kylie's number four. Number three, who did I really not like? It's hard for this is a little difficult for me because I've I've always liked heels. I'm I've I've always liked villains in j in general. Uh and it's not that I don't like, you know, the good guys too, if that if the characters are written well, but most good, most good guy characters are not. They're just they're pretty much cut and paste. Yeah. But uh let's see, my number three most disliked. We'll we'll go we'll go a little current right now. I don't I don't particularly like uh Orange Cassidy and AEW because I I I get the gimmick. I understand that I'm not supposed to get the gimmick, and that's the the gimmick is I'm not supposed to get the gimmick. Okay. But I don't like it. And I he he he did something really specific when he won the uh the international title a few years ago and he kept it forever, and he carried and he this this is before John Moxley did it. When John Moxley was carrying the AEW world title in a briefcase, Darby Allen, uh I'm sorry, not Darby Allen, pardon me, Orange Cassidy preceded him by carrying the international title in a backpack that he just carried in the ring. So you never ever saw it. And I thought that was so stupid, bro. So but uh but I but I I also get that I'm supposed to think that's stupid. That's the gimmick. The gimmick is, you know what I mean? But again, this is it ain't my cup of tea, you know? Uh so that'll brand me the number two. Man, this this might be a little uh well, I liked him when he was the Blue Blazer. I was about to say on heart, but that does, I do I like more on heart. I don't I don't dislike on heart that much. Man, who's uh who is somebody I don't I didn't really like? I'm going through my ECW roller decks now to see if I can pull us off from there.
SPEAKER_01Okay.
SPEAKER_02Shane Douglas. And it because Shane Douglas thought he was a main inventor. He he really believed it. And he he carried himself like he wanted, and he really never was one. That's a great point.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_02But, you know, he was a great champion in ECW, and he was the right guy for that role. And he uh he played that role really well. Again, not my cup of tea. And but I can tell you who my number one wrestler, I just I never ever liked ever.
SPEAKER_00I wonder if it's the same, it might be the same one as me. The honky tonk man, bro. Really? And get him out of here. You didn't like the honky talk man?
SPEAKER_02Hell no, bro. Come on. The honky talk man is the worst, the worst wrestler of all time. Oh man. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. She brought a roll is a terrible finisher. That's true. He held the Intercontinental Championship hostage for years and years and years. Get him out of here, bro. He said he held it hostage. You know what I'm saying? I can't, I can't do, I can't want nothing to do with the honky tonk man, dog. I used to love the honky tonk man as a kid. I get it. I, you know, you know, the whole Elvis impersonated gimmick. I this cool. Ain't for me, man. You know, I I was like, bro, what is he doing? You know what I mean? I I wasn't with it, bro. You know what I'm saying? He was a, he was uh he was the epitome of chicken shit heel, which means he did his job well. You know what I mean? So, you know, he he he he had no he had zero offense, you know what I'm saying? All he all he would do was sneak people and hit them with guitars and then run. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. And then and then steal pins, so he keep that belt. And, you know, look, I rem and I'm I'm not that big of a fan of the Ultimate Warrior either. Yeah. But when the Ultimate Warrior took the intercontinental belt off the Honky Tonk Man, I was very excited. That made me very happy. You know what I'm saying? So yeah, Honky Tong Man's probably my least favorite.
SPEAKER_00You know what? Chicken Shaheel might be the name of this episode. I like that. My number five is also Triple H for the reasons you just named. Uh my number four. Yeah, man. My number four. The way you feel about uh Great Kali is the way that I felt about El Higante when he was in WCP.
SPEAKER_02Same thing applies.
SPEAKER_00He was just like seven, he was seven foot six and wore a damn bodysuit. Like you remember Slim Goodbody from PBS? Oh, I remember.
SPEAKER_02Do you remember the one time he showed up at WrestleMania? Yes. When he uh he had it was the one that was outside in Vegas.
SPEAKER_00Yeah and he was he wrestled the Undertaker. Yep, he was giant Gonzales.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_00Terrible. God, he was terrible.
SPEAKER_01So bad, bro.
SPEAKER_00Um bad. Golly. Uh my number three. Coco Beware.
unknownReally?
SPEAKER_00Really? I was never a fan of Coco Beware. I was way into Coco. I felt I was, I want, man, I wanted that bird Frankie to bite him so bad.
SPEAKER_02Oh man, Coco and Frankie was was was was where it was at, man. I was I was all into Coco. I think that might be because Coco was short and I'm short. So I gravitate to a you know, you know what I'm saying? That makes sense. And then then he then he was black, so I you didn't really see many black uh wrestlers on screen, let alone people that was actually winning titles or winning matches. You know what I'm saying? And I like this finisher. Yeah you know, dropkick city, that dropkick off the top rope, I was into that.
SPEAKER_00But conversely, yeah, conversely, I was a big fan of Junkyard Dog. I was a huge Junkyard Dog fan. My number two, man, Rick Martell. I was near.
SPEAKER_02Which version? The model or the or the just just straight up Rick Martell? The model.
unknownOkay.
SPEAKER_00I couldn't I couldn't yeah, I couldn't stand them. I could see that. Yeah. And it I it screwed me up. Like when he um that gimmick when he uh blinded Jacob Snake Roberts, he had that big can of perfume and sprayed it in his face, and then he came back. He came back. Yes. I was trying to figure out what the name of that perfume was. It was arrogance when he sprayed it in Jacob Snake's face. He came back on the next tape with like the white out context, like he was completely blind. I'm like, even as a kid, I'm like, this is dumb. And my number one, Hulk Hogan.
SPEAKER_02Hey man. Hey, well, he there's there's there's a lot to dislike. Yeah.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_02It really is. So done put him by my brain, bro. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. When he comes up, I I acknowledge that Hulk Hogan changed the game, and that's as far as you get with me. I ain't got nothing else good to say.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. I hear his name come up and I immediately go into my go into iron sheet mode.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, for real. Yep.
SPEAKER_00That man had been Hulk Hogan.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, to the very end. I did I'll tell you, I met Jackson Dick in the bank one time. Nah, please. Share shit up with the class. I I was just well, this is probably about four year, about four years ago. So uh where I live, I live in Smyrna, Georgia, right? And uh I live in real close proximity to uh DDP yoga headquarters. Wow. The Kroger I go, the Kroger I go to to uh shop to grocery shop, I have to pass by DDP yoga headquarters to get there. You know what I'm saying? So uh and you know, just in the neighborhood area, it's all just the my uh my bank is in that area too. And I was I was coming home from gig, you know, uh depositing a work check or whatever. And uh I he he was just in there chilling by himself, real real tall, real tall man, you know, you know, professional wrestler, so he's gonna be a big dude. Real big old tall man, super nice. And uh I uh I realized that it I looked at him twice, I was like, oh Matt's Jake Snake. So I walked up to him, I said, Hey Mr. Roberts, you know, I'm you know I'm a big fan, you know, I've been I've been watching you since you know forever. You know, pleasant. I didn't want to disrupt his business or whatever. Man, he was he's he stopped, it was a real kind greeting. Say, hey man, I appreciate that. You know, what's your name? Say, my name is Wally, or whatever. It's like, now I asked, will you mind we get a photo? Uh now you can snap the photo with me. And then, you know, then he went on about his way he did his business or whatever. Uh but then I got up to the uh to the teller, and the teller was like, it's like every time he comes in here, people always ask him to take a picture. Is he famous or something? She was, you know, she was younger. She didn't know, we had no idea or no context. And I was like, I was like, you don't know, man. That's that's one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Yes. She was like, she was like, yeah, he's always nice, but I don't do like every time he comes in here, there's somebody that asks that stops him, asks him to take a picture. Sometimes it's like two or three people at one time. It's like he always does it, and you know he's always super nice. But I just never understood. That's like, why all these people take? I was like, man, Jake the Snake, you don't know who Jake the Snake is? That's Jake the Snake. You know what I'm saying? But yeah, he was cool, man. I uh I uh if you if you you scroll down my Instagram, you'll see the photo of me up. Okay. I got it posted on my IG. But yeah, yeah, I just I randomly ran into him. I I used to run into uh I met Scott Hall in that Kroger, uh in that same Kroger I just referenced before he passed away. I met Stevie Richards in that Kroger. Really? Mr.
SPEAKER_00Steven Kick himself?
SPEAKER_02Yeah, yep. Mm-hmm. BWO, baby. We're taking over. Wow. But yeah, I just I would ran I would run into runner, I ran into DVP at the public so that was across the street from that bank. That's crazy. So yeah, man, it's just, you know, as a as a wrestling fan, I I I lucked up where I ended up living. You know what I mean? So I just I run into some some legendary uh some legendary professional wrestling talent from time to time.
SPEAKER_00No kidding, man. That's that's incredible. So speaking of IG, uh like back in November uh 2025, you had actually made a post of a transparency post, if you will, talking about you had a health scare deal and you woke up with uh with a case of Bell's palsy. And uh just uh share with us what that experience was like for you.
SPEAKER_02Bro, it was it was so random. Because it just happened. You know what I'm saying? I had I I didn't feel anything. I was I wasn't in any pain. But uh I my day started like it would normally start. I had I had uh gotten up, got my son ready for school, got him off, got him on the bus and off school, and then I was just about to go through my routine. I'm about to go, you know, once he's once he's on the bus and on his way, I'm about to go uh run up to McDonald's around the corner, get my sausage, egg, my muffin, come, you know, eat my breakfast, start my day. You know what I mean? Same old, same old. I get back, I get back to the house, and uh I was listening to I was listening to something, but podcast music, whatever. And I was like, you know, whatever it was I was into, I wanted to keep listening to it. So I like my eat my sandwich here in the car. And I I I took it out, I tried to take a bag out of it, and I I realized the mirror's like something don't feel right. And then I, you know, I took the rearview mirror down, I looked, and the whole side of my face was just completely still, just it was not moving at all. Wow. The whole left side of my face just was just it was just completely stiff. And my my immediate my immediate thought was like, oh shit, I'm having a stroke. You know what I'm saying? So, but also the thing that that kind of kept me calm is I was in zero pain. You know what I mean? That I didn't I did not feel out of sorts by any any stretch or whatever. Uh so I was like, let me let me go inside and look at my face for real. Came inside, went to the bathroom, look at the mirror. I was like, oh man, this is this is this is not right at all. So, because, you know, because uh with men in pro and we're prideful, uh, instead of calling the ambulance, I was like, you know what? I'm just gonna drive to urgent care real quick and see see what's going on. So I drive to urgent care and I walk in, you know, I'm just sitting there twiddling my thumbs, waiting for, waiting to be seen. And I say, hey man, you know, I don't know what it's like, I don't I don't feel bad, but my face is look looks a little crazy. I don't know if I'm having a stroke. I just I came to see a medical professional. And they were like, bro, you need to go to the hospital. I was like, they didn't even, they didn't even look at me. They said you need to go to the hospital right now. And so, again, being prideful and not calling the ambulance or calling 911, I was like, all right, man, I that was the closest, closest. I drove to the closest hospital to me. And then uh, which was about maybe like a six or seven mile drive, wasn't too far. But uh I get there and uh, you know, I I do I do the whole waiting room thing, wait again, and I go through the same process, and I when it's finally my turn, I go up to the uh I go up to uh the intake person and I say the same thing I told the people of Urgent Cast, like, look, hey, I don't I don't feel bad, but I am a little concerned and my face is jacked up. I don't know what's going on. And the only thing I know, only thing I know when people have like a the twisted face like that is that they might be having a stroke and I'm not sure if I'm having one. And they they they literally they took me, my face was my face was so jacked up that they were like, yo, you come back, you coming back with us right now. Like right now. You know what I'm saying? So they did that and they ran they ran all a battery a battery test to uh to uh see if I actually did I was stroking out. Turns out that I wasn't, fortunately, but I did find out a month during those batteria tests that I uh I am type two diabetic. So I did that was uh but that's that's sort of hereditary. My father's diabetic, his father was diabetic. Okay, it's likely that my son's probably gonna be diabetic too. I think it's just a hereditary trait. Yeah. But uh, but yeah, they were like, yeah, we wanna and you know, we want to keep you here for two or three days and make sure, you know. And I had after they ran through the the initial testing, they said uh because I I've had I've had a head injury before, but when I was uh when I was like in middle school, I had a uh I got hit in the back in the head by with a discus on during track practice. Cracked my skull, had a little, a small little brain bleed when I was maybe my son's age, about 14 years old. So I had, you know, I had a history of head trauma. So they wanted to do an MRI on my head. Man, that is the most uncomfortable shit I've ever been to. If if the the my saving grace when they did that MRI is they let me they let me choose what music I wanted to listen to and they let me listen to music. If that if they hadn't let me done that, I'd have freaked out. But yeah, anyway, they uh they did an MRI on my head, MRI came back clean. They kept me there for a couple days just to make sure uh that uh what they were looking at was actually bell's palsy, and then I was not in uh any danger of having a stroke. Uh but I found I found out that my blood pressure was way too high, and I found out that I was diabetic. And so they gave me uh they gave me a a real uh strict regimen of uh a medication that I had to go, I had to go through two cycles of. I had to go through, I think it was uh metformin for the diabetes that gave me some kind of cholesterol medicine and a few other things. Uh they had I had some kind of high blood pressure medicine I had to take, and I I, you know, I did what the doctor said. I went through, took all the medicine, did the refill, took it all again, uh, went back for the the I think I went back two, maybe three times to uh to make sure everything was alright, and they gave me a clean bill of health. But and they told me it was like, yeah, it's like your face is gonna be stuck like that for about two and a half months, but eventually it'll it'll it'll it'll loosen up. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. But ain't really nothing we can do about that. You just want to be looking like that for you. But yeah, that's that's kind of what happened, man. You know, it was it was a real wake-up call for me, man, because you know, I've been I've been DJing for I'm I'm three decades in now. So the the night life has been my life, my entire life, you know, my entire adult life. So, you know, late, uh like I said in that post, man, late nights, early mornings just caught up with me, finally. You know what I'm saying? And this that was a wake-up call that I needed to to uh adjust my lifestyle a little bit. So that's you know, that's what I've been doing since then, you know. And uh and thankfully, you know, I was I was able to get on the right track. You know, I got the bells paused now. I got I don't know if you can see it or not, but uh I got like a little sleepy eye now. You know what I'm saying? Mm hmm. But that's cool with me, 'cause Kwame got sleepy eye. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, hey. Yes, sir. And then kudos to you for being on top of your health, man. Yeah, I'm trying I'm trying to do my thing. I'm trying to get I'm trying to get swallow like Dennis Farkworth, uh Dennis Foxworth, man. Don't give my power lifting game on.
SPEAKER_00Man. You know what? You should just do that on your Twitch. Like in between sets, just like just like swing a kettlebell or something in between. Like with it. Like whenever the like whenever somebody asks to the uh the subscription, whenever you're playing that UGK murder, like when the level goes up, you just like go up and you start swinging your kettlebells. Like, hey man.
SPEAKER_02So last year. Yeah man, I found a uh I found this dude, my bad. I was gonna say, I found this dude on TikTok that used to play pro baseball, and he do this like he literally gonna TikTok every day and do a five-minute workout every morning. And it's just and you just do it with with barbells, and it's just like, you know, hand, it's like some hand and leg movement, and you and you can do it anywhere. But he do, he do, he literally does the same workout every day at the same time, live on TikTok. And you and but he keeps it up too, so if you want to follow on at a later date, you can. But I've just been, I've been, I've been rocking out with him, man. And it's been helpful. You know what I mean?
SPEAKER_00Good stuff, man. Lastly, I want to get into a new segment I have. And uh it's called A Few of My Favorite Things. So basically, I'm just gonna name, I'm gonna name five things. And it's just five random things, and you just tell me what your favorite thing is. So, first one, what's your favorite childhood candy? Ooh. Favorite childhood candy. Cherry Airheads. Good call. That was my that was one of my favorites as well. I used to I used to sell them on the back of the bus and rack up, man.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, I like I like uh sticky icky gooey candy, like and like gummies and stuff. Car candy's fine, like you know, I I I like Drollie Ranchers because we don't like a dryly rancher. But I I was more into I was more into the stuff that was uh chewy and gooey. Yes, sir.
SPEAKER_01Second one, what's your favorite LL Cool J song? Ooh. Okay. Ooh. That's a good one. That's a good question, bro.
SPEAKER_02Man, I could say I could be cliche and say I'm bad, but because it's up there, but I'm trying to think, I'm trying to I'm trying to dig in the catalog a little deeper.
SPEAKER_00You know what I'm saying? Jack the Ripper, maybe? Hey, you can't go wrong with that, man. You cannot go wrong with that.
SPEAKER_01You know what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_00That man said great. That's a pretty good one. Breaking necks while I flex my sex appeal. Yes, sir. Third one. What's your favorite thing about Chattanooga?
SPEAKER_02Ooh, my favorite thing about Chattanooga, Tennessee. The people, bro. I mean, you know, uh I I I I am a sort of uh an outlier because uh as much as I love my hometown and I I love it dearly. I have it, I literally have it tattooed on me. You know what I'm saying? So I can keep it with me wherever I go. But I am uh I I also have no interest in going back. Or or you know what I mean? Like, but because I think I think uh I think the time, the the 33 years of my life, the first 33 of my 33 years of my life where I was in Chattanooga and I lived there kind of made me the person that I am today, and I am that person because of the people in Chattanooga. And you know, I'm I'm I'm grateful for all the connections that I made, all the all of my all my whole family's still up there, bro. You know what I'm saying? And uh, and you know, I I love my family, and you know, but I I've also kind of always walked my own path and created my own rhythm, and I think they know that about me, and I and and they've they've kind of always accepted that about me, you know, while they're gonna do his thing, you know what I'm saying? So, but yeah, man, the the the people that I grew up with, the you know, the people that I I learned a culture from, the people that that taught me, uh, that gave me my moral compass, the people that, you know, made, you know, made me the person that I am, the the high bar that I I keep for for being courteous and polite, all that comes from the people that I was around in Chattanooga. So that's probably my favorite thing about Chattanooga, the people that the people there.
SPEAKER_00That's a damn way, that's a damn great and just very succinct way to uh that's a that's a hell of a ringing endorsement for Chattanooga, man.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, it's a great place, man. I always tell people it's uh it's it's a great, it's a great place if you want to find somewhere to settle down and just live. Chattanooga's a a a wonderful place to do that, but I I got shit to do, bro.
SPEAKER_00Number four, what's your favorite sneaker?
SPEAKER_02Ooh, Air Jordan 3, Black and Cement. Boy, you got right to it. Yeah, and that's a great sneaker of all time, bro. All right, and then the last one. What's your favorite thing about yourself? When I decide, when I really, really decide I want to do something, I just keep going until I figure it out. You know, and I uh I you you you you will never half of the things that I've been able to accomplish, at least 15 to 20 people have told me they were stupid ideas before I accomplished it. You know what I'm saying? So and I I don't hold that against them because you know your vision is your vision and y it's up to you to see your vision through. You know, no one no one's gonna see it like you see it. I'm sure when you started up started podcasting, people like, you just gonna talk to people? That's it. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. And that that's and that's that's that's it. That's all you're gonna do. And and you you have the foresight to choose the the guests that you choose and the topics that you choose and the conversations that you choose to have for a reason. You know what I mean? And and if you know, you you've been doing this for for quite a while now, and I I see I see the growth and I see everything. And I'm pretty sure there was somebody in your life that was like, Danny, man, what what what are you doing? And they just didn't get it. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. And you like like most creative people, you you had a vision and you saw it through. You know what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_00Yeah, and I think that's and I think the biggest reason why, and we're gonna wrap this up in a little bit, the biggest reason why people were saying, what are you doing is because off mic, I'm naturally introverted. I only talk when necessary. So like it threw people off and like, man, you actually talk. Like, I listened to your podcast, I didn't know you had that in you. I'm like, yeah, it just depends on the mood and depends on the people around me. But yeah, man, that's that's a great way to wrap up this conversation. So um, where can the people find you? Plug and promote your stuff and promote twinkle and glitz and let the let the people know what's going on.
