A not so brief dissertation on the horrors of a typical Nashville summer. Please people…if you are indeed gaining knowledge and power from watching these videos…you can always visit the paypal tip jar at Tombukovac@gmail.com or the venmo tip jar at @Tom-Bukovac-1

I’m not trying to come across like some kind of Youtube martyr here, but i hope you guys realize that I purposely turn off the monetization on my videos so you don’t have to sit through fucking ads….i also never ask you fuckers to “smash that like button”…and, i never put thumbnails on my videos with big font that says “YOU ARE PLAYING HIGHWAY TO HELL WRONG AND YOU ARE A LOSER” with a picture of my face looking mean.

That HAS to be worth something
