What's up everybody? So I just got back from a six-day trip to Boston and, truthfully, I loved it. Boston, without a doubt, personally, is the best city that I've ever been to and it's the best city. Out of any other city outside of America. It's the best, it's number one. It's the cradle of revolution. It's a very rebellious, historic city. That's where the Revolutionary War happened.

They got these things called lobster rolls there, where it's just like bread butter lobster. Forget about it. It has the most winningest team, more than any other state between the Celtics, boston, the Red Sox, the Bruins and the Patriots. It's like a powerhouse for a sports team. It's so clean, everybody's so nice and hospitable. They got people cleaning the streets at everything from late at night to early in the morning to make it look great in the morning. It's amazing.

Boston was, without a doubt, the most oh, and not just that, you can just keep tacking it onto the list. They have Cape Cod, which is, you know how you see like that picture of the um, of the uh uh lighthouse. You know, like on those potato chips called Cape Cod, how you see the picture of like the lighthouse? Technically it's actually in a city called East Ham, right, um, but there's another city before that called Cape Cod. Um, I saw Plymouth Rock. Um, every person there is like a historian. Like it was amazing. Uh, I, I enjoyed Boston so much and there's so much to do and, um, I loved it.

Speaker 1: 1:39

I felt like it was kind of strange because everyone is, um, you know, there's a certain uh stereotype or something about, um, republicans and Democrats, and there's a lot of truth to it. But, uh, republicans being more patriotic and, and this, this is nowadays, this is what, like, the media says at least. And uh, democrats, uh, want one thing and Republicans want the other. That's not too much of a stretch. But everyone there was so patriotic, um, and I'm pretty sure historically they all vote blue, they all vote like democratic. Um, but but it seems to me it's like they're pro police, pro gun, they're pro like, they're pro-police, pro-gun, they're pro-patriotic, which kind of falls more on like the Republican aspect. But anyway, it was. They're so patriotic, they love Boston, they love America, they're so proud. There's flags everywhere.

Speaker 1: 2:39

Like man, I just Boston, I loved you so much. And also they got like four comedy clubs there, so I'm going to try to make a trip out there and um, do like a paid show. Obviously, that will have like a paid vacation and, um, I can enjoy it all at once. So, um, yeah, man, if you get a chance, you need to check out Boston. There's so much to tell about it and not enough time, and I was there, like I said, for six days. I didn't even get everything done, right. Um, I was trying to be as aggressive as I could to get as much done as possible, but, um, it's just, it's an amazing place. So check out Boston. I hope you guys have a beautiful day and to everyone out in Boston, I love you, I appreciate you and I can't wait to come back. This has been Joel Dunn. Check me out, peace.
