“Ive got 80000 pounds of weight to bring to this thing. And not a knock at whoever they got in there, but he does not have the background I have with Woods. I got 11 years with this guy, man.”

” Im sure the storys going to be f *** ing dazzling,” Burns says, however thinks it could have been even better with him connected. “Ive got 80000 pounds of weight to bring to this thing. And not a knock at whoever they got in there, but he doesnt have the background I have with Woods. I got 11 years with this person, male.”
