The bad. >> But not really. See, here's the thing. See, here's how Captain Hook gave it to. me in in specific specifically the. Captain Hook from the 1954 stage play. adaptation of Peter Pan where Mary.

Martin played Peter. Um so, first and foremost, Captain Hook has a slew of men following. him, okay? Throughout his journey, okay? Overseas, through the forest, and they. all seem to have instruments. At any. point of time, he wants to do a number. So, they're going to play that music. Number one. Number two, the wardrobe. You got this big feathery hat and the. and the and the and the velvet with the.

You know what I'm saying? So but it's okay to be able to embrace. and be you. Like come in the room and. that's one thing I tell people. Like one. thing that you know that you made it. when you wake up and be you and accept. who you are. And also, you know, even. with money. When you get money how you. feel like you should get it, that's when. you made it. It ain't about how much you.

got. >> Ooh, speaking of money, let me tell you. something. What happened? Last year I. got me a nice little front row seat to. some rich folks issues. Oh What. happened?
