A flame loses nothing by lighting another. Beautiful reminder. Thank you.
Great guy and very funny. I’ve watched several of Catfish Cooley’s videos and in one video of his other videos, he talks about how we should all accept each other despite everyone’s likes, dislikes, race, and cultures, and also trying new ideas to get to know people.
When he started off with “this lighter stayed inside, and this lighter stayed outside” I was expecting more lighters to come next, in the sequence of “this little piggy”
