We were talking a little bit before about the Ford Tempo.

89, Blue, and named it the Midnight Cowboy.

And I had, this is back, this is before you could just like

go to Etsy and have somebody print something.

So I actually had to find somebody who would make me

like a decal and I put it on the dashboard and that,

you know, I tell you that I got lots of girlfriends

because of that decal on the dashboard.

It's awesome.

Dig it.

So why, why the Midnight Cowboy?

So, one of my favorite bands of all time

is a band called Faith No More.

And they have a song called Midnight Cowboy,

which is like an homage to the movie.
