    Don't want to brag but I opened up for Kci and Jojo at the michigan state fair.

    That's incredible! I'm talking about Glenn's Damn Yankees and Kanye jokes, of course.




    But seriously, I'm really impressed. I never could have come up with Damn Yankees there, classic!

    Alright alright I'll give Mola some huge props for that one. It's one of those things you see on film and get goosebumps. I am really hoping you can ride these waves into stardom. This is how people get their starts.

    If not, I know some people in the biz that could hook you up. No I don't. Just ignore me for now.
