PEOPLES.

It's just a crappy show. I hate to see people displacing themselves from states north of the Mason-Dixon just to see crummy lil ole me and two other washed-up skaters. Could be boring as shit. There will be no half-pipe.

I'll be available to walkie-talkie or we can just do a switch-it-up. In fact, maybe that should be the race stakes. Last two have to man the talkie-walkies.
