00:00Someone called the cops on me thinking that I was a homeless person with a baby.

00:05So the cop needs to see my ID. This is what I look like wearing my Patagonia jacket.

00:16I was walking my daughter, newborn daughter. She's just a bit over a month. She's, you know,

00:22in her fussy newborn stage. So I take her on lots of walks. You know, I go out like

00:27often in the middle of the night, like all times of the day and like multiple times a day. It's kind

00:33of like our routine, like to give my wife some rest. I did look some disheveled to some degree,

00:39like one of my slippers does have a hole in it. And I'm an artist. So most of my clothes have like

00:45paint splatters and tears. I'm just focused on my baby and trying to comfort her, not what I look

00:51like. So anyways, this was my second walk of the morning. So the family's awake, the kids are in

00:56the front yard playing. And then Shepard, my oldest is like, Hey, dad, like, there's a police

01:02car out front. So I walked out. And as I'm walking out, the police officers already like,
