totally smooth that that was well yeah yeah because they didn't have logos on and I had her draw backs getting the tattoos with the logos there and all that stuff what's crazy is that that logo is actually taken from another company called addicted to the outdoors yeah Oh someone else's logo that's why David the Cheetahs logo because they're gonna assume oops I just feel if it was love us now because you can see the sand my plan before this year is up is to design and have a have at least a single batch
