Nestor Aparicio  00:00

Welcome home. We are W, N, S, T, am 1570, tasks, Baltimore or Baltimore positive, one of the more Baltimore positive places I can be here, where as eggs lane and Miller Avenue intersect with Frederick row. We’re in the heart of the Ville. 21228, we’re Catonsville worth of Beaumont. It’s all brought to you by the Maryland lottery. Is this the first Raven scratch off I have it’s actually ticket 001, I’ll be giving these away all fall long. The Raven scratch off promotion is here and now that the Joe burrow thing is what it is, the trip to Cincinnati is looking chilly, free. I have a guest here who I’ve never had on a show that I’m aware. Maybe you called in years ago when I was nasty, Nestor on the radio as the team chiropractor for the Baltimore Ravens. 19 seasons. Doug Miller did that. He’s been doing in practice here in Catonsville a lot longer than that. He has made the long eight block walk from behind GL shacks and Frederick road, down Frederick road here to be with me at the Beaumont and Dude, we’ve been trying to, like, Get social lunch together, like, six months. You live on this shore. You work on this shore. I’m not in the Ravens facility anymore. He’s not in the Ravens facility, so I don’t even see you. Man, last time I you were in a room together, I thought it would have been, like, four or five years ago, and then you tell me, like that, dude, I’ve been a chiropractor, like, almost a decade. I’m like, what? So what is the time you’re a man. How’s life?

Doug Miller  01:21

Man? Life is going well. Practice has gone very well. It’s very exciting. Yeah, it’s glad to be here in Catonsville with you as

Nestor Aparicio  01:28

well. Well, I come to Catonsville a lot. You’re the one man. I’m here where you are. I doubt that I do live here. You know that? Well, I’m back here. I feel like I’m here every week at this bar. So much so that part of our shtick around here a curio wellness is my 27th anniversary, right? So I’m eating my 27 favorite foods, and I love the fried lobster tail here. My wife insists that I got it wrong, that the lamb chops are really why you would come here, and maybe you like the pork chop, I don’t know, but this has become like a hub, and I’m embarrassed that I’ve been doing this for a decade in Catonsville and haven’t had you

Doug Miller  02:02

8

won? Well, I’m a big salad protein guy, so let’s go ahead and make that happen. Well, I little billionaire

Nestor Aparicio  02:07

bacon on the salary and all. So the chiropractor thing, everybody knows Steve Elliot’s my chiropractor up on the north side. Absolutely. She’s a great guy. I live near Steve, Steve. Steve. You Joe bartlinski, which had a colts reference Anne Arundel County. Ed block came from the training side of your side of things on that.

Doug Miller  02:28

Hey, you know my father was, was one of the controllers for the Baltimore Colts. I think I knew back when. How about that? For he worked for Bob. He worked for Bob. Yeah. So Don Miller, how about that? Hold on.

Nestor Aparicio  02:39

You and I are pretty much the same age, or like that. You may be a year or two older than me, so you like Jim Schwartz and you were childhood guys. I’m in dundal. You probably have every same Oriole Colt reference of 75 colts were in here last week, Ed block and all of that. They were all back in town, right? So, I mean, for you to take a gig with the ravens, and your dad worked for the Colts. I mean, that’s pretty much up there with, I mean, there were a couple people in the building that came from Bob eller, obviously, was with the Baltimore Colts, but there’s not a whole lot of that that went on, right? I mean, you had a nice little connection,

8

Doug Miller  03:13

right? That’s correct, absolutely. Yeah. Jim Schwartz and I. Jim Schwartz was Jim. Jim and I grew up in the area. Jim went to Mount St Joe. I was a Loyola guy. So, you know, we used to employ all the Mount St Joe guys. You know

Nestor Aparicio  03:26

that, right? I, you know

Doug Miller  03:29

men for others. So Jim was very influential. When Jim was with the browns, and the Browns were relocating back to Baltimore, Jim put me in touch with the medical staff. So Jim was very influential in in in developing the relationship that allowed me to become the very first chiropractor with the Baltimore Ravens back in 1996

Nestor Aparicio  03:49

8

Well, Bill tessen Dorf, right? Yeah, sure. We just lost Eddie Carroll recently. Um, the 30 years of the Ravens. Great time to have you on right, because you could have been one of the guys running out of a field and of the field 1996 Jim Schwartz was there. Sure as part of that worked for Ozzie. They came out, held the trophies, they did all that stuff last week when, when they beat the snot out of port. Joe Flacco, who you knew, and I’m sure worked on through through years with the ravens, that to where this is and what the brand is, and choose Super Bowls. To what Jim Schwartz when I met him, and I texted Marvin last week as well. To what we found in the old colts facility, where your dad probably worked at the end out knowing Mills Boulevard, where Tess had to come in literally and play the role of Schneider because the building didn’t have a chiropractic table in it, let alone a room, right? Like my

Doug Miller  04:44

first chiropractic table was in the racquetball room of the old Coates facility. So it had glass window. It had glass Well, no, I think that court did not. Maybe one did. I’m not really sure, but the training room was so antiquated, so correct? You know? Absolutely, yeah. The training room was so tiny, so small, that you had to make use of every, every square foot in the building.

Nestor Aparicio  05:07

How did Orlando brown or John Ogden fit in that room? I’m thinking the two biggest guys.

Doug Miller  05:12

Well, in the racquetball court, they fat, they they would fit well. But in the training room, there wasn’t a lot of room. Absolutely, yeah.

8

Nestor Aparicio  05:23

Guys used to threaten to put me in a cold tub, like that. Was always the fun when Syracuse was around. They check cold, top cold, top cold, top right. Yeah, back in the day, Doug Miller’s here. He’s been my friend and and has worked on this, this particular spine at various points in the football side of things, that great physique that you still have. Well, I know, but I mean, and I mean you and Sokolov, I actually shoved my wife around a few times because she had back aches out in San Diego. So it was nice having chiropractors on call back when the Ravens were kind to me and you were there, but 19 years and you’re not doing it anymore. What when you say I was a Ravens chiropractor during two Super Bowl runs those memories for you, and being a man of medicine and, you know, moving people’s spines and trying to get them into optical optimal physical condition. But just the memories and the exclusivity you had, I’d seen you guys out at Indianapolis, at the combine, and different things, the medical side of football is such an incredible and a growth thing. To your point, 1996 we did not have a whole lot of Andy Tucker’s and Leanne curls and like whatever else going on that this has really evolved over three decades and under your watch and under your care. In a lot of ways,

Doug Miller  06:34

it sure has a lots evolved in sports medicine. You know, the biggest thing today that really gets me excited about practices on the prevention side, the injury prevention side, even in my career 30 years ago, what I was doing 30 years ago to to understand where was an athlete vulnerable to injury, what predispositions did they have to become injury, or what predispositions did they have that made them vulnerable to injury, has dramatically changed, and now with the use of AI, which we probably all use every day, it’s really, really exciting. You know, we screen athletes functionally. So let’s look at a field athlete. Football is a field sport. We have athletes that decent, that accelerate and decelerate and move laterally. 30 years ago, we would look at that athlete with our naked eye and see, you know, are, is the athlete moving well? And then years later, video came in. Years later, athletes are wearing sensors. Now we can plug all that information with with biometric sensors, videography, movement based patterns and AI can help us identify risk potentials for that athletes before they even know it. So it’s really fascinating using technology to help athletes stay well and spend more time on the

Nestor Aparicio  07:50

field. What about regular guys like me? Regular guys like you, too. I’m gonna have a full plug to GBMC, my newest sponsor. I have my colonoscopy in November. I’m doing all the general I’m 56, years old, but I have been getting some myofascial worked on, some massage work done about my hip, my spine and my knee surgery in 2006 that has really thrown my body off. And I’ve been studying this with Doctor Steve, and what it’s doing on my shoulder. And I also had an injury. And this sounds like the crazy this is such an old guy injury, and if you’re watching out here, I’m wearing my reading glasses because I’m up on you with my right but these progressive glasses, when my prescription changed in March and April, it threw everything off on my left side, because my eyes were working different, and my eyes were backing off of things, And my neck for about eight months now has been problematic, and I thought it was my neck, and what I really believe to be the problem is spinal and hip at this point. So places where I’m finding pain, I’m realizing that that is not the source of my pain. And I guess that’s chiropractic 101,

Doug Miller  08:57

8

that’s chiropractic 101, so most people are not professional athletes, but most people do have a career and a job where they sit at a computer all day long. So the positions they put their bodies in every day, six or eight hours or more a day. They drive two hours to work, they sit for eight hours. They drive home. They’re getting tired. Number one, they’re not moving enough, so they lose mobility over time, and then muscles shorten, they get tight, and they tug on other joints. And as we get older, brother, you and I feel

Nestor Aparicio  09:25

that I had a psoas fall apart on me during covid, I got off the yoga mat. My planet fitness people have put me back together my yoga. I mean, I do hot yoga four days a week, and that’s because I met Brian Baldinger. Brian Baldinger is the one who told me to do hot yoga in 1999 26 years later, when people say to me, and people say to me all the time, you look young, you look great, you look fit, you don’t I’m like, I drink a lot of water, I eat a lot of berries. I talk about all the good stuff I eat. And you know, I’ll be drinking some of that wine back there. I like tequila. I’m not big on the whiskey, but, I mean, I try. The cannabis company. I I do all sorts of things, but hydration for me, buries me. But movement,

Doug Miller  10:08

movements, fundamentals, correct? Yeah,

Nestor Aparicio  10:10

I lost. I lost everything in here, and then I got hurt. And once you get

8

Doug Miller  10:15

hurt, you know, so we say it a lot in healthcare, there’s a lot of chronic conditions and diseases that are in a rear rear view mirror, providing we keep moving, once we stop moving, a lot of those chronic problems now are in front of us, and we have to face them and tackle them, whereas mobility and staying active is a way to really keep a lot of those problems behind us as well.

Nestor Aparicio  10:38

Years ago, and he had a hip replacement near play, he said his doctor told him it was a life sentence to do rehab. He said rehabs not a six week or an eight week, or PT or whatever. And here’s what I really learned with my back. L, 3l, 234, a mess. Got my MRI back. Steve Elliot looked at my MRI and he’s and he looked frightened for me. And I’m like, Dude, I don’t like to like, we’re friends, like, I don’t like the look in your eye. And I’m three and a half years out on this, and during masked up, dead of winter covid, I’m doing PT with a girl that I never even saw her face because we were all masked up and everything was a yoga move. It was bird dog, it was dog down. It was stretched the back. It was straight. You know, strength and stretch, strength and stretch. And I think three and a half years later, I’m feeling good. But what you do, and the science of doing, not just for football players or whatever, but for citizens here in Catonsville, I think you’ve seen everything, but you also see triumph. You see people that, when they listen to you and do all these things, right? They can sit on an airplane and fly to LA tomorrow, which I’m doing, yeah, right, which I could not do three years ago without lots and lots of discomfort.

Doug Miller  11:49

Well, let’s talk about the athletes for a minute. If you’re an athlete and you’re training year round, which a lot of youth athletes do, they typically over train. Anyone can have a functional screening. You go find a good PT, you go find a good sports chiropractor, and you ask for a functional movement screening specific to the sport that you’re in. A lot of this, the the the screening tests that we do are are very specific to the sport, but they’re also specific to whether it’s a field sport or a court sport. So in other

Nestor Aparicio  12:19

8

words, you got a 14 year old girl playing soccer. She’s playing club if she’s

Doug Miller  12:23

accelerating and decelerating like a football player is. So some of the same movements that we screen her for are the same movements that we screen the football player

Nestor Aparicio  12:32

treat her like an athlete like know about all this? Because one thing i This is the honest to god, I’ve had a knee surgery now, you know back problems as a 55 year old, which sucked, and I felt so much for Rob Burnett in 1996 when he got hurt, was going to go to the Pro Bowl, and I saw how much pain he was in Nebras, the first athlete that I befriended, that I just saw the pain as a football player, as A young man, what he was going through. And I didn’t have my first knee surgery till I was 38 and it was at the time when Dennis Pitta was fighting for his career and trying to get on the field and stay on the field. You’re working on all these guys. And I just remember for the first time my life, I’m like, I can’t do anything I want to do. I can’t walk, I can’t go, I can’t do anything I want to do. And I’m thinking, imagine if it took my pay away, or took my scholarship away, or took the enjoyment and the ability to play a sport when I’m a young person away. I don’t think you and I and Jim Schwartz, we were that age. We didn’t know about this in the 1980s Right? Right? In the same way, and you having seen all of this evolve to what it means to a young person just playing lacrosse in Catonsville, how that can be utilized to make sure they don’t get hurt because they’re the most important athlete in your family. Not. Lamar Jackson, curious, you got money on the game? Yeah? But, but I mean athletes, I never thought about this as a kid, playing sports that my knees is a catcher that might my family should have me checked out because I was playing a lot of ball as a kid for a while. You know,

Doug Miller  14:07

sure, yeah, there’s so much more emphasis on what an athlete does in the off season, the prehabilitation, not the rehab, but the prehab, preparing your body to, you know, to perform in your sport year round that you have to do in the off season to prevent injury. But these movement screenings are really a great way, a great tool, great resource for any athlete. They’re not expensive, they they can take it half an hour of time, but the date, the the information one gets out of that can really keep an athlete on the field performing better, hopefully, in you know, playing to his or her, you know, best of their ability, and not spending more time on the bench

8

Nestor Aparicio  14:47

as a man of medicine and understand your bodies and movement. By the way, Doug Miller’s our chiropractor. We’re over here at the Beaumont doing the Maryland crab cake tour, one of my favorite places. I smell the lamb chops. I smell lunch. I smell burgers smelling good. I smell. Like something I want to eat, instead of talk knowing how this works and getting people in and knowing that young people, and like I had Mark Messina on a couple weeks ago, his kids a pitcher of good lineage, by the way, horse race, I’d bet on him. But just the 10 month, 11 month a year, if you’re a baseball pitcher, if you’re a young girl playing soccer, if you’re a young boy playing lacrosse, like this is not seasonal anymore. And I always thought of track and field as being a year you know you but you’re running, you don’t take time off, or maybe you do, but, but in the in the the ethos of sports, to think of this as a 12 month vocation, and a lot of sports that you don’t get time off. That’s something that is a Do

Doug Miller  15:43

you even what advice do you give? Well, we’re probably not going back to that. I mean, as much as and every professional sports healthcare, including me, would like a youth athlete to take time off and rest. We would like a youth athlete to play multiple sports, not to focus on one sport, really, until they’re in middle school or high school to work on skills like agility, mobility, stability, not spend all the time throwing a baseball or swinging a bat, but the reality is we’re probably going to lose that battle. So since kids are playing sports 1112, months a year, it’s really imperative that they have the type of a professional put the eye on them early who can identify, where is their loss of mobility? Where is their loss of flexibility? Where is their loss of stability? So we can provide them with resources like exercises to do, to make up for what they’re lacking, to prevent that next injury.

Nestor Aparicio  16:35

What did you love about being a Ravens chiropractor and all the years you know,

Doug Miller  16:39

8

you know the relationships probably like you, the relationships you develop with the player, how much they really depended upon you and your skill set to keep them on the field, to get them back on the field. You know, there was a lot of grunt work. There’s a lot of bodies you work on. They’re big men. I was bigger back then, too. But you know that those are the jokes

Nestor Aparicio  16:57

marveled at that I’d see you walk down the hallway with John Ogden and be like, Man moving him, you know, I mean, he’s just a huge man. He’s a huge

Doug Miller  17:05

guy. So, but, but the relationships you have just like any it’s, you know, any place I’ve worked, College Park, the, you know, the Baltimore blast, the Baltimore band, it’s all the teams we’ve had here in town I’ve had some type of relationship with. So it’s the athletes helping them stay active, helping them prevent injuries. Why we do what

Speaker 1  17:23

we do? You

8

Doug Miller  17:24

worked on the bandits? I worked on the bandits. I

Nestor Aparicio  17:26

did not know way back when. Yeah,

Doug Miller  17:29

I remember those bandits, the blow the skip Jacks were the became the bandits, right? They weren’t the same thing, all right, the bandits, the blast, college, Park, some you know, the Ravens for a long time, some of the oral players come into my office as well.

Nestor Aparicio  17:48

8

What advice do you give people here? I mean, we already talked about movement a little bit, you know, I try to take every part of it and listen to

Doug Miller  17:58

all, you know, for someone our age, it’s really all about preparing your body to perform and what you want to do. So warming up is critical. Not just getting out there and doing your thing. You have to loosen up the muscles. You have to loosen up the joints, especially if you’re you know, if you’re sedentary all day long, like most of us are, they’re sitting at a workstation, and then they’re going from the workstation to play softball without warming up, without stretching. Pickleball is crazy. I mean,

Nestor Aparicio  18:24

chiropractors and doctors, lots of,

Doug Miller  18:27

lots of lots of Achilles injuries, lots of wrists, lots of elbows. You know, it’s, you know, again, you’re, you’re quickly moving in a tiny court. You’re, you’re decelerating, slowing down, putting a lot of stress on your joints. When you get to our age, you’re going to feel that. So preparing your body for that sport before you go out there and play by warming up and having some expert advice is really what everyone should do.

8

Nestor Aparicio  18:49

Well, as my wife has gotten older, you know, after her two cancer battles and bones and joints and trying to keep it together into our 50s, here, it’s crazy. I say this out loud, right? You wonder why GBMC wants to bring me and get me a cold. Because, I mean, I am. I haven’t had a doctor’s appointment. I bragging in 20 years. I mean, you and Dr Steve are the closest I’ve come to see in any time. And I haven’t had a cold in 12 years. I fist bump with people. So I’m like, really, I think of myself. There is medicine, you know that, right? Well, I think of myself as is, as a healthy guy, I’m gonna find that, I guess, after my colonoscopy, after I do all these other things, and I see people around town joining groups and saying they’re gonna like yoga for me has been a godsend. And I tell Baldinger all the time of all the things he’s ever done for me, talking me into something that I enjoy sure, that keeps me strong, that keeps me fit, and it keeps me moving right, and it’s also gives me this amazing measurement that I don’t need as someone who is S stand. Charles and John Colson, how competitive I am, right? I mean, I am a competitive MFR about everything, whether when I play tennis, I play tennis to kill you. Bay. Spa all of that, right? I’m older and more mellow now. I don’t play the internet or even play radio ratings to kill anybody anymore, but I tell you what, when I get on a yoga mat, I compete with myself, and there’s this weird it’s like, it’s like a Snoopy chess match of, can my body square up? Can I get into that position? Does it hurt today? Is it my spine? Do I just need to adjust? Do I have a lock that if I just can get that out, I then can get into triangle and I can move into the next pose, and my wife is watching me on a yoga mat. It’s like watching Gumby. She’s like, because the teacher’s doing this and that. And I’m like, no, no, I’m just trying to get that hitch out in my hip that’s gonna allow me to fully express because I know my body really well at 57 better than I did a 37 or 27 and I know what my limitations are, but finding something where you move and you love it, because I didn’t love jogging. I certainly didn’t love stair steppers. I’m not getting on one of those damn bikes. It goes nowhere in a gym. What are they called? So, what’s that called? The bike you get on, what’s that? What’s the word step? It’s not stepping. What is

Doug Miller  21:07

it? The station area, okay, stationary. The air dime bike, I’m not doing any right? The assault bike, that’s what you’re talking about, right? Sure, absolutely.

Nestor Aparicio  21:19

But I mean the importance of having a chiropractor and having someone keep you in alignment when you’re feeling that. I don’t know what I would do with that chiropractic number 30 zero. So there’s your your

Doug Miller  21:29

8

there’s your plug. That is a thank you chiropractic, right? It’s, it’s, if you’re a repetitive sport athlete, it’s a necessity to make sure your muscles are balanced, your joints are balanced, to prevent injury and perform well, and that’s your public

Nestor Aparicio  21:43

service. That’s my public service. If they’re on a way to try, even if they live in cadence, will it come to see you? We’ve been, we’ve been

Doug Miller  21:50

in practice for 33 years. We’re in Catonsville, the aligning Wellness Center. You can find us on the web. You can call our office. We have, we have an amazing team in our office. We have several doctors we you know, we certainly specialize work working with athletes of all types, youth athletes as well, not just pro athletes. And we’re here for many, many more years to come.

Nestor Aparicio  22:09

Do you miss football? Mr. Ravens, you said, Well, you still have, I

8

Doug Miller  22:13

still am very active with athletes, pro athletes. I do still follow the Ravens. Yes, correct. You go to games, right? Do not go to many games anymore. After 19 years of going to a lot of games, I do not go to many games anymore.

Nestor Aparicio  22:25

Express to my audience, because I don’t even know this. And I ask you, I mean, you work there, and there’s proprietary stuff you’re never going to tell me, and I get all that, but on a day by day basis, for being a chiropractor that had a practice here for 19 years of doing that, how much travel, how much time? How much Westminster backfield, boggers in the castle, there, early in the morning, there, late at night, before practice, after practice, you were omnipresent there, in a way that I felt like you were there from July through January, seven days. It felt up to me, like seven days.

Doug Miller  23:02

The reality is, you’re there’s a chiropractor there. Every day. Every team has a staff chiropractor. When I started, every team did not have a staff chiropractor.

So you were thought of as optional. Now you’re thought of as a century.

Doug Miller  23:15

I would agree with that, but every team has a chiropractor on staff, if not more. Think the Ravens have two or three now. So your schedule really ramps up as the season begins to ramp up, as bodies begin to get hurt, your your your hours start to increase, but you’re there throughout the year. There is someone there every day. It may not have been me, we, we, we had our own schedule. So we’re there multiple days a week. We travel with the team. We travel to, we travel to all the away games, and we’re there at all the home games as well. But your schedule really ramps up as the season ramps up. But it’s a year round position.

Nestor Aparicio  23:50

Man, what a you know, what a crew. I mean, you know, I would, I saw you in every hotel for 19 years with the team, night before the game, day of the game. We drove in those, those motorcades with the team, where the, you know, the cops would come and make way for you in Cleveland, they get the hell out of the way the

Doug Miller  24:07

radio. I think I worked on you a few times at the airport as well.

Nestor Aparicio  24:11

I love Doug Miller. He saved my life, and I’ve never had him on the show. And I just wanted to bring you on and say thank you. Hey, thanks for having me here. It’s been great. I feel bad like a lunch together to kind of catch up, because you that’s

Doug Miller  24:23

next time at the Beaumont, right? The salad zone Bay,

Nestor Aparicio  24:25

well, the lamb chops are on me. I like Paul. I know everybody. All right, we’re over here at the Beaumont. We’re doing the merrily crab cake tour, a former ravens chiropractor, current Catonsville man about town, and if you see him down or home with her Bethany, it might be Doug Miller as well in the 21228, it’s all brought to you by our friends at the Maryland lottery. The Raven scratch us first ticket out of the gate. I have here at Beaumont. We’re beginning the crab cake tour. More dates to come in the coming weeks, Luke’s out in the Owings Mills. As we get ready for more football. It’s football season. It’s crab cake season. Chad cause is going to be my guest out here, my attorney, buddy, we’re going to. Do some seventh grade social studies. Also, a councilman, Pat young, running for Baltimore County Executive, is going to be here later on. I’m hoping to drag Evan by here, and we’ll have an argument. By the way, do you go to El Guapo? I do get out. Yes, I do. So the argument here being that you’re here stay fair. If Don Mueller’s, I can’t believe you didn’t take the chicken and waffles and and, you know, it stay friend. I’m like, I love the chicken and waffles, but it’s not one of my top 27 favorite things. My favorite thing of all three places is the lobster tail here, because I don’t know anywhere else where you get sort of a tempura fried chicken lobster. It’s just delicious. I love it. It’s bougie. The most bougie thing on my taste in this list, but the chicken tortilla soup at El Guapo, pozole, P, O, Z, O, L, E, this is chicken tortilla soup. I think I screwed up. I mean, I think the chicken tortilla soup

and it’s now your favorite, huh? Is that right? Yeah. I mean, I had a bowl of it last

Nestor Aparicio  25:53

Friday. My wife and I watched the Brazil game in there. Last my wife flew in. I flew in. She picked me up at the airport. We went to El Guapo, and I got it, and she wanted, like, burritos and enchiladas and, you know, tequila and like, and I’m like, I just, I’m feeling like a bowl of chicken soup is what I want. Every time I get it, I get two bowls to go, and I took I ate it during the game last nice, no. I mean, I love the chicken tortilla soup at El Guapo. So check that out. Lambton, what’s your favorite thing? Well, you gotta, you gotta join

Doug Miller  26:24

here. Now, I think I like all of it. Let’s acknowledge Evan Brown’s a great guy. Does a lot for the community neighbor. He’s one of my neighbors in Catonsville. We support Evan as much as we can. We like all three places. How about that? I in the basement to basement. In the basement too. Well, the basement’s not my age group, but we do like the basement as well. He brings

Nestor Aparicio  26:40

his Portales chop up here too. Yeah, even familiar with that, or floods, and I’ll say it’s been having that’s when we first met. He might be listening me, but Evan, I love having sponsors that are good people. And at this point in my life, and I remember this from maybe 10 years ago, before I met Evan, and I think when Don molar and I started doing what we do here, I said, I need more good people in my life. And that was something that I think that’s what Baltimore positives, and you’re one of the good people in my life. And I’m sorry I haven’t had you here. I feel, I feel awful. Thanks for all you do, Nestor, we got a nice tan, all right, buddy, like, at least I have a free crash pad Delaware when I need one. Doug Miller here. Come see him over here in Catonsville. I’m back for more. We’re at the Beaumont smell the crab cake tour. I’m Nestor. We’re Baltimore positive. Stay with us all.
