This is my good friend Squid AKA Kevin appearing on the Ellen De Generes show last year. He is one of the nicest people you will ever meet and taught me a lot about what it means to be in the messenger community.
DON’T JUDGE-PEOPLE!
We are all flawed and you never know what someone has been through or what they are really thinking. One of the great things about messengers in NYC in particular is among the 3,000 or so on the road every day in Manhattan they run the gamut from straight outta Rikers to elitist snobs, yet at the events that Squid put together or helped with like the Beer Olympics or Apocolips Halloween alleycat we all got together on an even playing field and gave each other shit in the spirit of fun.
When you are a messenger-everywhere you go you will have a home with your brothers and sisters in arms and Squid exemplifies that spirit.
He recently had a son with his wife Amy so I’m sure his life is different now-congrats and welcome to the club Bro!-but I look forward to seeing him again when I visit NYC next and I’m sure that he’ll be stoked about me carrying on the tradition of riding hard-not being afraid to get paid well-and loving life-out here in beautiful SC, Cali-
Long Live Clutch Couriers!

It was great to have Kevin be on Ellen. I was in Santa Cruz a few weeks ago. It was so foggy I could hardly find my way around.
Had a great time though, great bakery with hot espresso shots.
Loved it.
