Hey, this is Scott, and you're listening to

0:02

What Was That Like? New episodes

0:05

with guests telling their amazing stories are

0:07

every other Friday, but today

0:09

we have the every other Tuesday,

0:11

Tuesday question. In the

0:13

podcast Facebook group, we have a new thought

0:15

-provoking question every Tuesday, and it

0:17

generates some really interesting and sometimes

0:20

deep discussions. We'd love

0:22

to have you join us. Just go to

0:24

WhatWasThatLike.com. But if you're not

0:26

in that group, We bring it to

0:28

you here in a short episode every

0:30

other Tuesday. We dig into

0:32

the group archives and find one of the

0:34

past Tuesday questions that we've discussed. Then

0:37

Meredith and I answered that question and we talk

0:39

about some of the answers that came in from

0:41

other listeners. And in a few

0:43

days, I'm talking this coming Friday, a

0:46

brand new What Was That Like episode. Let's

0:48

do it. And we're back. Do

0:51

you up in the panhandle,

0:54

Pensacola? Do you have

0:56

nudist camps there? We

0:58

don't have camps that I'm

1:00

aware of. There are some

1:02

beaches rumored to be little

1:05

nudie. That seems like a

1:07

different thing. They have that down in Miami,

1:09

too. You know, you can be topless on the beach or women

1:11

can be topless on the beach. Men can't

1:13

be topless. Well, I think they can do that,

1:15

too. Nobody's looking at them, though. Well, I guess some

1:17

people are looking at them. I

1:20

mean, depends what you got going on, you know what I mean?

1:22

But now here in not in this county,

1:25

but north of us in Pasco County, there

1:27

is a nudist camp. And

1:29

I've actually been to that nudist

1:31

camp. What? Yes, I have. I

1:33

worked for a television store back

1:36

when people had big console color

1:38

televisions. Curtis Mathis is the brand

1:40

name, top of the line televisions.

1:43

And we had a rent to

1:45

own division. And so people

1:47

would rent their television, you know, every

1:49

week, every Friday they get a paycheck,

1:51

they come in and pay their $13

1:53

and they get to have their television

1:56

for another week. So some people rented

1:58

a television and they lived in that

2:00

nudist camp. And the people

2:02

that I work with tried to play a joke

2:04

on me and saying, you know, you can't go

2:06

in there closed, you know, you

2:08

have to go nude because that's what it's

2:10

nudist camp. And I never fell for it.

2:12

That was just a stupid thing to try. But the funny thing

2:14

is though, just as just recently in the news, someone

2:17

drilled a hole in the fence

2:19

of the nudist camp and So

2:21

far there's no suspects, but the

2:23

cops are looking into it. Oh

2:25

my god That took a long

2:27

time way too long but you

2:29

did really good like because it wasn't

2:32

obvious that it was a joke until

2:34

like three -fourths of the way through

2:36

it and when my dad does this

2:38

Immediately, you know because he has this

2:41

little smirk that he does on his

2:43

face. So good job. I never

2:45

smirk So...

2:48

Yeah, right. I can

2:50

control my smirking, I think. Maybe I can't.

2:52

I don't know. No, I don't

2:54

think you know how to do that.

2:56

Well, it's appropriate that we start with

2:59

a joke today because the question today

3:01

is, what always makes you laugh? Ah,

3:04

yes. I always laugh

3:06

when I hear anything by Taylor Tomlinson.

3:08

She's a comedian. Have you heard of

3:11

her? No. Maybe I

3:13

have, but I don't know her name. She is

3:15

a millennial, I guess she's

3:17

younger and she grew up

3:19

kind of like Pentecostal like I

3:22

did. So she has all these specific

3:24

points of view that are specific to

3:26

like people who grew up like that.

3:29

And her jokes are so funny. Like

3:31

she once talked about, oh,

3:33

you know, I'm a real

3:35

animal in bed. I'm more afraid of

3:38

you than you are of me. Like

3:40

stuff like that. She is so funny.

3:43

That's creative. Yeah. Does she

3:45

wear a wool cap usually? No.

3:47

That's not who I'm thinking of then, okay. Yeah,

3:50

I love Brian Regan. He's probably

3:52

my favorite comedian. But

3:54

what really, what always makes

3:57

me laugh is inappropriate

3:59

offensive things that just

4:01

upset people. I'm thinking

4:03

of a specific occurrence. This

4:05

is a good example of this, okay? Okay.

4:07

This is a long time ago. My

4:09

wife and I went to a church

4:11

here locally. And the church was

4:14

mostly old people. And there

4:16

was one time where the church had

4:18

an outing and all of the people

4:21

were welcome to come on this dinner

4:23

cruise, which is, you know, right here

4:25

in Tampa Bay. I don't think it wasn't

4:27

even a dinner cruise. It was just like an evening cruise, you

4:29

know, like the sunset cruise or something. And this

4:31

boat was a pretty big boat. And the

4:33

top was just a whole deck where you

4:35

could stand or there were chairs. You could

4:37

sit and there was a railing. You could

4:40

look out at the water and This was

4:42

a wonderful thing, you know, all these older

4:44

people, very proper, very

4:47

easily offended. And

4:49

so we're all on the

4:51

boat and we're out in Tampa

4:53

Bay enjoying the water and the

4:55

view and there are other boats

4:57

and other people out on the water

5:00

as well. We're all looking

5:02

out toward the Gulf of

5:04

Mexico and another boat goes

5:06

by right next to us. And

5:09

they're just going really slowly, and

5:11

the people on that boat turn

5:14

around and moon everyone on our

5:16

boat. And

5:19

the gasps, like, how could

5:22

someone do something like that? That

5:24

is so inappropriate and so offensive.

5:26

No one laughed. I laughed.

5:29

I could hardly keep myself from not

5:31

laughing, but everyone on that boat was,

5:33

I mean, these are all proper church

5:36

people, you know? they

5:38

just saw someone's butt. But

5:41

that's the kind of thing

5:43

I find hilarious when someone

5:45

is so offended by something

5:48

that is completely harmless. That

5:51

is a very specific genre of comedy,

5:53

Scott. Too

5:56

specific to make any money at, I'm sure.

5:58

I think so. When I used

6:00

to go to church in Nebraska, the

6:03

pastor did a sermon about how as

6:05

a Christian, you don't have a right

6:08

to be offended. And I

6:10

think it was, now that's a salacious sermon title,

6:12

and only he could explain it. You'd have to

6:14

look it up. His name was Greg, something

6:17

super helpful to not even know

6:19

his last name. But he was

6:22

talking about how, I guess, our

6:24

particular group. had gotten into a

6:26

habit of being so easily offended

6:28

and outraged, you know, so chronically

6:30

that we needed to recalibrate. And

6:33

I remember thinking, wow, this is

6:35

really an incredible sermon. But I

6:37

feel like the end homework would

6:39

have been to be in that

6:41

situation on the cruise with the

6:44

people mooning. That would have been a good test. Yeah,

6:46

good test. Do they pass the test?

6:49

Everyone on that boat me was pretty offended.

6:54

Okay, moving on. Let's listen

6:56

to what some of our listener answers

6:58

were right after this. Summertime

7:02

is all about making the most of long

7:04

days. Sure, you got to go to work,

7:06

but you also want to meet up with

7:08

friends at the new outdoor patio bar for

7:10

sunset cocktails. Having quality and

7:12

versatile wardrobe options makes your wardrobe

7:15

as carefree as a kid drinking

7:17

water from a water hose. Do

7:19

they still do that, by the way? Quince

7:22

has easy and elevated options like

7:24

100 % European linen shorts and

7:26

dresses from $30, lux

7:29

swimwear, and Italian leather platform sandals.

7:31

I love my Sofia European leather

7:33

skinny belt with shorts. The shorts

7:35

say, I can't be bothered with

7:37

the heat. While the belt says,

7:39

hey, I'm classy. These are

7:41

the kind of flexible, beautiful options

7:43

you can expect with Quince. Priced

7:46

50 to 80 % less than

7:48

what you'd find at other brands.

7:50

7:52

8:16

Dax? Dax? Dax? Sorry, did

8:18

8:26

Yeah, I can test the break

8:33

8:35

to buy the car. Getting ahead

8:37

of ourselves here. Buy your car

8:39

with Carvana today. Now, a

8:41

lot of people, again, the question

8:43

is what always makes you laugh

8:45

and a lot of listener answers

8:48

included farts and baby laughs.

8:51

Baby laughs are the best. They are

8:53

because they laugh at the silliest things, things

8:55

that aren't even funny. And they'll laugh

8:57

at it 10 times in a row too. That's

8:59

what's really great. And

9:02

to me, farts are always funny. It's true.

9:04

It's true. We have names for farts. Do

9:06

you have names for farts? I don't

9:09

think so. What do you name

9:11

them? Well, not like

9:13

that. Not like children.

9:16

Like, oh, that was Bob.

9:18

Say howdy. No, no, but

9:20

like my husband said, oh,

9:23

them barking spiders. Mmm,

9:25

okay. It's a southern thing, I think.

9:28

And my dad used to say a

9:30

Midwestern version of that, but I can't

9:32

remember now because I've heard barking spiders

9:34

for, you know, 11 years. I

9:37

don't think I've heard that one. That's good.

9:40

Yeah. Yeah. All right. Well,

9:42

the first answer here is from a woman

9:44

and what always makes her laugh, she says,

9:46

my children, they come up with

9:48

the most ridiculous things. My eight

9:51

-year -old son, he says, mom,

9:53

I have poop on my finger

9:55

and me. Oh, well, go wash your hands.

9:57

How did that get there? Questions

9:59

you shouldn't ask. Did you get

10:01

it on yourself wiping? And he

10:04

says, No, I had a fart stuck, so

10:06

I stuck my finger up my butt to

10:08

try to pop it. Oh my gosh. Oh

10:12

my gosh, life with boys. That

10:15

doesn't sound like an eight -year -old boy. He doesn't just go

10:17

wash. He has to tell mom about it first.

10:19

Yes, and the fart was like a

10:22

bubble and he had to pop it.

10:24

You know, that is some eight -year

10:26

-old logic right there. Well, hey, it is

10:28

a bubble, right? It's gas, it's air. That

10:31

is true. That is true.

10:33

Scientific discussion of farts here. That's

10:35

great. At the same church

10:37

that I was mentioning earlier, one

10:40

of the leaders, I ran a

10:42

youth group with him, and

10:44

we were talking about random things

10:47

like this. He told

10:49

the story of how once he used a

10:51

spoon to help things along and also confessed

10:53

it to his mother. That must be a

10:55

thing that the little boys do. And she

10:58

was so mad, threw away the spoon and

11:00

told him to never do it again. Have

11:03

you ever heard the Reddit story about the poop

11:05

knife? No. I'll

11:08

have to link to it. Is it like a

11:10

classic or something? It may be

11:12

the most classic Reddit story. Like,

11:15

should we be reading this at holiday gatherings

11:17

or? Boys and girls gather round for

11:19

the red at poop story. Yeah, it's no

11:21

the poop knife. The key

11:23

to the story is that title the poop knife. I will

11:26

link to that because it is

11:28

really, really funny. Well,

11:31

this next person says, what makes

11:33

her laugh is my favorite game

11:36

night called blind story time, a

11:38

game where you write a story one

11:40

sentence at a time. And then pass

11:42

it to the next person. The paper

11:44

folded so that they can only see

11:47

the one sentence. Once the

11:49

paper is full, you read the stories

11:51

out loud. They make no sense. Characters

11:53

do some crazy things. Everything

11:55

goes awry. And endings always

11:57

have a hilarious twist. My

12:00

favorite is when we were laughing

12:02

so hard, we couldn't breathe. Guaranteed

12:04

belly laughs. That is really

12:06

cool. I like that. I'm imagining trying

12:08

to be quiet as you're writing and

12:10

then the giggles and then the passing.

12:12

That's a really good game. Yeah,

12:15

I'm definitely bringing up my mom has game nights

12:17

at her house for all of us to come

12:19

over her kids and family and everything. I'm

12:22

going to definitely bring this up at the next family game

12:24

night because it does sound like fun. It

12:26

does. Yeah. Have you seen the game?

12:28

It's like on social media where you

12:30

tie make me laugh already. You

12:32

tie a raw hot dog

12:34

to a string. and you

12:36

tie the string around your

12:39

waist. And so you

12:41

have to do an aggressive pelvic

12:43

thrust to cause the string to

12:45

deliver the hot dog to your

12:47

mouth. in one big swoop. And

12:49

the goal, the winner, it will

12:51

actually catch it in their mouth.

12:54

And the point of this, obviously, is to video it

12:56

in slow motion. And so you

12:58

have this slow motion pelvic thrust and

13:00

an open mouth with a hot dog

13:02

flying at a person's face. It being

13:04

uncooked is an important ingredient because the

13:06

cold, wet hot dog inevitably slaps them

13:08

in the face. And it's just the

13:11

funniest thing. You know what? I should

13:13

bring this up to my mom because she, like your

13:15

mom, has these like organized, you

13:17

know, family nights and we are

13:20

notoriously inappropriate. It's very on brand for

13:22

us. I've seen a variation

13:24

of that. What I thought you were going

13:26

to say is the hot dog is hanging

13:28

on a string in between the person's legs

13:31

and they're trying to somehow maneuver it to

13:33

get into like an upended toilet paper roll

13:35

or something, you know, that's the game. You

13:37

got to get it in that little slot.

13:40

But I think I like your version. That's pretty funny.

13:43

Yeah, and it doesn't it's not

13:45

quite as sexually explicit as the

13:47

toilet paper roll that makes it

13:49

another level So although we don't have

13:52

any kids in our family. So that's the

13:54

great thing about being child -free on

13:56

all levels and every single member

13:58

of the family is yes We will

14:00

all die and our name will be

14:02

forgotten, but we can play inappropriate games

14:04

at holidays. Yes. Nothing has to be

14:07

appropriate at all. Nope. Nothing at

14:09

all Alright number three.

14:11

This is a woman who says

14:13

people taking a good tumble

14:16

once I know they're okay, of

14:18

course, but I just can't help

14:20

myself Why is it? Why is it funny

14:22

for people to fall down? But it is I

14:24

don't know if I share that

14:26

sentiment there are whole channels that

14:28

play at like this hot dog

14:31

shop that we go to and

14:33

sometimes surf shops where it's just

14:35

like people falling. And so,

14:37

you know, you're eating your hot dog and you're

14:39

like speaking of hot dogs. That's funny. We got

14:41

a theme in this episode, don't we? Yes,

14:44

we do. Hot dogs, farts and baby laughs.

14:46

That should be the title of the episode.

14:49

Yeah, but it's there so people can have

14:51

a good chuckle. But I don't know, it

14:53

always makes me cringe. I don't share that,

14:55

I'm afraid. Even if they don't get injured? Yeah,

14:58

it's just not funny. It's not, I don't

15:00

cringe if I know that they're safe. If

15:03

it's prefaced by a

15:05

great act of stupidity, then

15:08

it's funny. Oh, because they deserve it

15:10

then. Yeah. Oh,

15:12

okay. Like someone, I

15:15

watched a video last night where

15:17

someone was on their cell phone

15:19

while driving a golf cart and

15:21

they drove it up the

15:23

driveway into the garage,

15:26

basically slammed into it. I

15:28

saw that. You did? Yes.

15:30

And she fell out, right? And

15:32

then she fell out, but still was on

15:35

her phone. And then while still looking at

15:37

her phone with one hand, grabbed the golf

15:39

cart, got back in the golf cart,

15:41

hit the gas again, and did the same

15:44

thing all over. Yes. And she fell

15:46

out again. She did. Yes. I

15:48

loved that. So you enjoyed that one

15:50

then, right? Because she was kind of

15:52

at fault. Exactly. Okay. Which

15:54

is telling of my personality, I suppose.

15:57

And then the other, the person that owns the house, I

15:59

guess, came out and the woman said, hey, I ran

16:01

into your house. Twice.

16:05

Yeah. I remember seeing something like that. It

16:07

didn't involve a golf cart, but there

16:09

was somewhere up north and it was in

16:12

the wintertime and there was a section of

16:14

sidewalk that was just ice. And

16:16

you couldn't really tell that it was ice.

16:18

So every time someone walked past that spot,

16:21

they would slip and fall. So someone saw

16:23

it happening, just parked their car right there

16:25

and just started, started filming. And so now

16:27

you could just watch like 20 people in

16:30

a row. Just, you knew what's going to

16:32

happen. You know, they're walking on perfectly good

16:34

sidewalk for a second. Then all of a

16:36

sudden they're on ice and they go down.

16:39

Nice. That was pretty funny.

16:41

That is pretty funny. But you can really hurt

16:43

yourself falling on ice though. Yes.

16:46

That could be a broken wrist or something.

16:49

It's usually a groin muscle. Hmm. because

16:52

one leg will go one direction and one

16:54

leg will go the other direction. It

16:57

was my entire motivation for keeping up

16:59

my flexibility while living in Nebraska. Right.

17:02

You don't have to worry about that now. No,

17:05

no. No ice at least. Lots

17:07

of other ways to hurt oneself. Oh,

17:09

there's banana peels everywhere. Alligators

17:12

running amok. All right.

17:14

Number four. Number four,

17:16

she says, what makes me

17:19

laugh all the time is my husband.

17:21

all the time. Especially when I recall

17:23

the following. One night we

17:25

had a celebration at our home with

17:27

a big group of family and friends.

17:29

We played a party game where the

17:31

name of a famous person, book, movie,

17:33

character, etc., is written on a piece

17:35

of blue tape and put on each

17:38

person's back. To guess who they are,

17:40

a person may ask only questions with

17:42

yes or no answers. Am

17:45

I human? Am I a

17:47

historical figure, etc.? Lots of

17:49

laughter and a good time was had by all.

17:51

We've played this before. It is really fun, especially

17:53

when you have a big group and other games

17:55

would just be too chaotic. This is really fun.

17:58

It's also a good icebreaker. So I love that

18:00

she's doing this. The next day,

18:02

my husband, a mental health counselor, I'm

18:04

already laughing, at an

18:06

emergency intake facility, subbed

18:08

at a site where he had not worked before.

18:11

Later, I asked about his day as I hugged

18:13

and welcomed him home while hugging him. I

18:16

realized that my husband had worn

18:18

the party shirt from the night

18:20

before to work. All day,

18:23

he walked around the facility with

18:25

a big piece of roughly torn

18:27

blue painter's tape slash diagonally down

18:29

the back of his denim blue button

18:31

-up collared shirt, picturing him

18:34

being all professional while

18:36

Mohammed Ali was written

18:38

in bold, all caps

18:40

sharpie marker on ragged tape on his

18:42

back and imagining what staff who had

18:45

never met him before. Impatiens

18:47

thought of him, the side eyes

18:49

they were giving each other, behind

18:51

his back brought me to peels

18:53

of laughter. My eyes

18:55

and nose were running as bent

18:57

over because my stomach hurt from

18:59

laughing so hard. Needless to say,

19:02

my husband didn't see the humor I

19:04

saw, nor did he appreciate my laughter as

19:06

he tried to remove the tape. I laughed

19:08

harder at the side of him, arms

19:11

all akimbo, fruitlessly reaching.

19:13

every which way behind

19:16

his back trying to remove the wretched tape.

19:18

The more he told me to stop, the

19:21

harder I laughed. I went into

19:23

the bedroom to collect myself several

19:25

times. 25 years later, remembering

19:27

this, makes me snort with laughter,

19:30

even in the middle of the

19:32

night. Lying in bed. Lying

19:34

in bed. My husband

19:36

laughs. When

19:43

I tell him, he hops and

19:45

rolls over. Not

19:47

understanding why this recollection continues

19:49

to tickle my funny book.

19:52

Oh, that's good. That's so good.

19:54

There is nothing like a good

19:56

giggle attack in bed at night

19:58

with your husband, especially at

20:01

his expense. This is the best

20:03

story. And then you can't even

20:05

explain it because you're laughing too hard, you know? And

20:07

it's the best when you're laughing so hard, no

20:09

sound comes out. Yeah. This reminds me

20:11

of a teacher that I had in college

20:13

who one day came to class and this

20:15

was like the end of the day. So

20:17

he'd been wearing this shirt all day, but

20:19

apparently he had just gotten this shirt at

20:21

a yard sale because there was a piece

20:24

of tape somewhere near the collar that said

20:26

50 cents. He'd

20:28

been wearing it all day. Surprised nobody mentioned

20:30

it to him earlier than that. That's funny.

20:33

Now his nickname is still 50 cent. No,

20:36

he's like the opposite of that. Oh. But

20:39

yeah, this also reminded me of a story.

20:41

It's one of those things that you think

20:43

of it and you just always laugh. It

20:46

just strikes me funny every single time we

20:48

had gone over to my parents' place for

20:50

probably a game night, family gathering or something.

20:52

And they had just gotten a new dog

20:54

and were trying to house train the dog.

20:56

And I took the dog out. This is

20:58

Roscoe, was the dog's name. And he pooped

21:01

in the yard. And everyone was so

21:03

happy because he pooped outside. But we were so

21:05

happy and celebrating that I forgot to clean it

21:07

up. I didn't pick it up. So

21:10

hours later, after, you

21:12

know, my brother and his wife and kids,

21:14

you know, they all came over, you know,

21:17

they started to leave and, you know, they

21:19

left, said goodbye, door closes and okay, well,

21:21

he comes walking back in

21:23

a few minutes later because

21:26

he had stepped in Roscoe's

21:28

poop. I don't know why

21:30

it struck me so funny, but he had to

21:32

come back in and clean his shoes off, and

21:34

he didn't think it was that funny, but I

21:37

just thought it was just hilarious. And now when

21:39

I think of it again, it's just very inconvenient

21:41

for him. And I hate stepping in dog poop

21:43

too, but it was just something

21:45

that struck me funny, you know? I mean,

21:47

poop is almost always funny. Mm -hmm. When

21:50

is it not funny, I wonder? I don't

21:52

know. I'm going to say it's almost

21:55

always got at least an element of

21:57

comedy to it. Right.

22:00

Because of the texture

22:02

and the smell. God, I

22:04

don't know. And it comes out

22:06

of your butt. I mean,

22:08

yeah. You know, maybe it's

22:11

like the taboo nature of it,

22:13

the fact that it's something we

22:15

all do, but no one's

22:17

like, everyone is likely

22:19

to say, how was your weekend? How

22:21

did you sleep last night? No one's

22:23

like, how is your BM this morning?

22:25

Right. So maybe

22:28

that's why, like it's like you're not supposed to

22:30

talk about it. So therefore it gives you the

22:32

third grade giggles. Anyone

22:35

that you tell frequently

22:37

how regular you are or that

22:39

you just did it, that's someone

22:42

you're really close to, I think. Or

22:44

it's your doctor, maybe. I

22:47

remember I was dating this

22:49

guy. He

22:51

was a little too similar to

22:53

me, which became evident as like

22:56

how nerdy he was, like as

22:58

the relationship progressed. And I remember

23:00

he was really into health, which

23:02

was another thing we had in

23:04

common. And I was saying something

23:06

about something and he looked at

23:09

me very serious, stepped closer to

23:11

me, gazed directly into my eyes

23:13

and said, how regular

23:15

are you? And

23:18

I was like, I immediately started laughing

23:20

and backing away from him and I

23:22

said, we are not having that conversation.

23:25

It's too early in the relationship. It's

23:27

way too early in the relationship to have

23:30

that conversation. And actually, I'm not sure I

23:32

would want to have that in our

23:34

relationship, please and thanks. But when

23:37

someone like that steps closer,

23:39

like into your personal space,

23:41

you expect something romantic, right?

23:44

Yes. or caring or like sweet.

23:46

And so, yeah, the contrast of

23:49

my expectation compared to what he

23:51

said also had a strong ick

23:54

about it. Yeah. Yeah. He

23:56

wasn't aware of that though, apparently. No,

23:59

no. I remember hearing

24:01

about couples who use the

24:03

toilet around one another and I'm just

24:05

not that kind of person. So,

24:08

like, I saw my husband use the toilet

24:10

the other day. for the first time. And

24:12

we've been together for like 16 years or

24:14

something. And it was an accident because he

24:17

thought I was outside and he didn't shut

24:19

the bathroom door. And he

24:21

came out and I said, well, it

24:23

took 11 years of marriage. And he said, what

24:25

are you talking about? I said, I saw you

24:27

being. And he goes, no, because

24:30

he shares my sentiment, you know? And he goes,

24:32

I thought you were outside. And I said, it's

24:34

all right, we're at that level now. And he's

24:36

like, man, you've graduated level. But

24:38

to never do that again, though, that

24:41

is just unless there's like a medical

24:43

emergency, even when we're hiking or camping

24:45

and we have to use the bathroom

24:48

in the woods like primitive style, we

24:50

turn our backs so that the other

24:52

can have a squat in silence. Well,

24:55

one person has to stand guard so that

24:57

if someone else comes walking by, you can

24:59

say, hey, look over that way. That's

25:02

true. Yeah. Okay.

25:04

Well. On that note. Yeah.
