Writing this song felt like a musical departure and coming home at the same time. Creating something for Jessie was a new challenge and also felt like second nature all at once. And being a @toystory kid from the age of 5 til now… is an adventure I plan to be on, to infinity and beyond.
Thank you to the brilliant Andrew Stanton for imagining me for this, all those years ago when you wrote this newest film. Thank you to the incomparable @RandyNewman or the gorgeous sonic tapestry of songs and scores you’ve meticulously woven over the years. You created the Toy Story musical world, and we are lucky to get to live in it.
By we, I mean myself and my pal @jackantonoff. We wrote this with so much adoration for these characters that made us laugh and helped us learn lessons and think outside the backyard all throughout our childhoods. “I Knew It, I Knew You” from Toy Story 5 is out everywhere now. 🤠🐴

Imagine you played Pokemon in 1996…
Then you got to watch the Pokemon anime in 1998…
Then you got hooked to it. Charizard became your favorite Pokemon so you collected Charizard Holos in 1999…
You kept it until 2025 & your collection is now worth a fortune
NFTs is 1998 rn
A lot of major NFTs building IPs in today’s world are not even 5yrs old. We need to give them time to build while we fervently remain fans
Some points I’d like to make here:
1️⃣ Treat NFTs as collectibles. NFTs aren’t shares to a company. They’re products. They’re collectibles. They’re a badge you can show that you’re early
Collectors of Charizard Holos didn’t ask Pokemon Company for shares. They just held on to their collections with pride
2️⃣ New products/collectibles released by the company does not diminish the OG’s value
Pokemon released multiple new games, new cards, or new characters even. But still, it’s the OG 150 Pokemon that’s most popular today
The same is true with NFTs. Our favorite NFT companies may release new products, new collectibles, & such for a new and wider market but that won’t diminish the value of the OG NFTs
3️⃣ For NFTs to take off as collectibles, they need people invested to the story, lore, & characters
This is where IP building comes in. This is where the anime series, the IG and tiktok accounts, the mainstream partnerships & likes come in
More people need to care about the brand first before the OG collectibles from it
We have such a long way to go but I’m sitting comfy with my collectibles
In case you are curious how John Daghita (Lick) was able to steal $40M+ from US government seizure addresses.
John’s dad owns CMDSS, which currently has an active IT government contract in Virginia.
CMMDS was awarded a contract to assist the USMS in managing/disposing of seized/forfeited crypto assets.
It still remains unclear at this point how John obtained access from his dad.

Tonight all these lives converge here
The mosaics of laughter and cocktails of tears
Where fraternal souls sing identical things
And it’s beautiful
It’s rapturous.
It is frightening.
