• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's fascinating how these little details, you know, they
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: often get overlooked, but they can really paint a picture
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: of what royal life is actually like, all the pressures,
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: the traditions, even their personalities.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Exactly and sometimes those quirks and the unexpected things are

• 0:49
  Speaker 1: It helps others find the show. Now, let's start with
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: something that might surprise you. Royal footwear. You wouldn't think
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: shoes would be such a big deal, but even royals
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: have their quirks.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: It's true. We always see those perfectly polished shoes, but
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: not the effort to keep them that way. Like Queen
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Elizabeth I did you know she actually had someone to
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: break in her new shoes for Wait a.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Minute, hold on, Yeah, a designated shoebreaker in her. That
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: was like a real job.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it might seem a little much, but it
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: was all about practicality. The Queen had a crazy schedule
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: with no free time, and everyone expected her to always
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: look perfect. Having someone make sure her shoes are comfortable
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: right away was just efficient.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: I can't help but picture someone walking around Buckingham Palace
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: in the queens shoes. But I guess it makes sense
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: when you think about it. Speaking of shoes, I've heard
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: that King Charles is even pickier about his shoes. Something
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: about iron shoelaces.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Oh, King Charles and his specific preferences iron shoelaces are
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: just the start. There are even stories about him having
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: a personal toothpaste squeezer.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: A toothpaste squeezer. Now that's serious attention to detail. I
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: guess that's how we earned the pampered prince nickname exactly.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: And you know, these little details might seem but they
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: give you a glimpse into how different their lives off
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: from ours. It makes you wonder about the pressure to
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: maintain that image every minute of their lives.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: It's easy to forget that they're human too, you know,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: with their own little comforts and routines. So what do
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: y'all think? Are these royal shoe habits over the top
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: or just part of being in the public eye. Let
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: us know now, let's switch gears from shoes to something
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: a little fluffier Corky's. Queen Elizabeth's love for corgi's was legendary.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: She owned over thirty in her lifetime. What was it
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: about corkis that captivated her for so long?
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Her Majesty's love for corgi's goes back to her childhood.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: It all started with Dukie, her first Corki. It was
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: a gift when she was just seven years old.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: It's amazing how childhood pets can have such a lasting impact.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: But wasn't there one Corgi that was extra special to her? Susan?
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Yes, Susan. She was a gift to then Princess Elizabeth
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: for her eighteenth birthday. Susan became like the mother of
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: so many royal Corgies. It just shows that bond between
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: a person and their pet, you know, that bond that
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: can really bring comfort when life keeps changing.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: And while the Queen definitely saw a lot of changes
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: throughout her life from princess to monarch, all was Susan
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: and her pups by her side. Those Corkis weren't just pets,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: they were family, and the Queen truly felt their loss.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Oh absolutely, there's a really sad story about Willow, the
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: last Corgi descended from Susan. Willow died just a few
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: months before the Queen and it was so hard for her.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: It was like losing the last piece of her parents
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: in her childhood.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: That's a touching reminder of how important ted's can be
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: in our lives, especially for those always in the spotlight.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: It makes you think, you know, maybe those unconditional love
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: and companionship helped them feel normal amidst all the craziness. Now,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: what do you all think can pets offer that type
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: of comfort, particularly for people who are constantly in the
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: public eye. We'd love to hear your thoughts. Okay, moving
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: on from corgi's. Did you know that Princess and the
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Queen's daughter was the first royal to compete in the Olympics.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right. Princess Anne is a really skilled equestrian
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: and she competed in the nineteen seventy six Montreal Olympics.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: She actually rode the Queen mean horse goodwill.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: That's incredible. Competing at that level takes so much training
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: and discipline. Her passion for horses goes way beyond just
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: a hobby.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Definitely. Princess Anne has competed in several European Championships and
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: she's won gold and silver medals. And get this, she's
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: still involved in the equestrian world. She's even the honorary
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: president of the British Olympic Association.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: It's inspiring to see royals follow their passions and be
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: successful outside of royal duties. It reminds us that they
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: have talents and interests just like everyone else. Speaking of
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: hidden talents, did you know King Charles can technically drive
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: without a license.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: It's true in the UK, the monarch doesn't need a
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: driver's license. It's a strange little perk of the job.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: It's definitely a little strange, especially since King Charles is
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: known for his strong opinions on environmental issues and yet
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: he's exempt from the same rules as everyone else. It's
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: a fun little contradiction.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: It definitely adds another layer to him. And speaking of
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: contradictions and interesting facts, let's talk about royal romances, specifically,
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: King Charles's love life. Did you know he dated Lady
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Sarah Spence, Diana's older sister before he even met Diana.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Oh wow, really he dated the older sister first. Okay,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: this deep dive just got way more interesting. Tell me
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: more about this pre Diana romance.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Well, it doesn't sound like it was anything too serious.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Lady Sarah herself said that she thought Charles was funny
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: and she liked spending time with him, but she wasn't
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: in love with him, and she said she wouldn't marry
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: someone she didn't love.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: That's definitely a strong statement. But how did Charles and
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Diana end up together if he was dating your sister?
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Well, this is where it gets even more interesting. Sarah
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: was the one who introduced Charles to Diana, and after
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: they got engaged, she joked that she was cupid.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Oh the irony. I can only imagine those family dinners
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: later on, all that tension and awkward silence. It's like
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: something out of a tabloid.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: It certainly adds to their already complicated family history for sure.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: So what do you all think? What do you think
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: those family dinners were like with Charles, Diana and Sarah altogether?
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Share your most traumatic scenarios with us.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Okay, before we get too caught up in royal relationship drama,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: let's talk about something different, the lengths the Royal family
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: goes to for their safety, especially when traveling. You know,
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: when I first heard about the Queen's unusual travel essential
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: and I thought it was a myth or something.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: You mean her personal blood supply. That's exactly what I mean,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: a personal blood supply that seems a little extreme.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: It might seem strange, but it's a precaution for emergencies.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Royal plans have a whole medical team and supplies, including
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: blood that matches the Queen's just in case. It's all
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: about being prepared.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: It's like having a whole hospital on the plane. I
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: even read somewhere that a doctor is always close by
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: with a defibrillator. Talk about traveling in style, I guess
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: we need the monarch. Safety is everything. It makes you
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: wonder what it would be like to travel that way,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: no lost luggage or delays, just a whole medical team
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: ready to help.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: It definitely shows you what comes with being a monarch.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: So what do y'all think what would be like to
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: travel with that level of medical preparedness. Let us know. Okay,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: we've covered shoes, corgies, the Olympics, love triangles, and even
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: blood transfusions. Now let's get into something a little more,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: shall we say, regal royal names and titles. It's a
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: whole world of tradition, protocol, and maybe even a few surprises.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: It really is fascinating. The history and all the little
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: details of royal names and titles can be quite complex.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: For example, did you know the British royal family didn't
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: even have surnames until nineteen seventeen.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Wait, seriously, no surnames, So what do they use Before that?
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: They use the name of their house or dynasty. But
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: in nineteen seventeen, King George the Fifth decided to officially
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: make Windsor the family surname.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Ah, so that's where the House of Windsor comes from.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: But what about Mount Baton Windsor. I've heard that name too.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: That's a great point. Mount Baton Windsor is the surname
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: for all of Queen Elizabeth's descendants. It's a combination of
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: her husband, Prince Philip's family name Mount Baton and the
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: royal Windsor name. It represents both sides of their family.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: It's like a modern, blended surname for a modern monarchy.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: But here's something I've always wondered about. Why do some
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: royals use surnames and others don't. It seems kind of random.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: It's not random at all. It actually depends on their
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: titles and how formal they are. A lot of royals,
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: especially those with really important titles, don't use surnames because
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: they're already so well known. Like take Prince William for example,
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: everyone knows who he is. Adding a surname would almost
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: seem weird.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like they're on a first name basis with
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: the whole world. But what about the royals who don't
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: have those super famous titles. What do they do about surnames?
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: Well, sometimes their surname comes from their family's official title.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: A good example is Prince George William's son. He uses
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: Cambridge as his last name at school because William is
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: the Duke of Cambridge. It's a way of connecting their
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: surname back to their family and title.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: That makes sense. It's all about connecting back to their
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: titles and lineage. Speaking of names, sometimes even royals with
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: titles end up with nicknames and sometimes those nicknames become
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: more well known than their actual names. Did you know
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: that Prince Harry's real name is Henry?
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: That's right. He even said in an interview once that
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: he didn't really get why everyone called him Harry. Seems
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: like even royals can be a little confused about their
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: own nicknames.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Well, that's something we can all relate to. So here's
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: something to think about as we wrap up this part
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: of our deep dive into the British royal family. Do
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: you think your nickname defines you more than your given name?
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Food for thought.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Welcome back to Beyond Infographics.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: We're uncovering those surprising little facts about royal life. It's
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: like we're putting together as secret history, one tiny detail
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: at a.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Time, exactly. And this time we're looking at royal fashion,
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: their influence, and some pretty weird spending habits. Get ready
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: for some shocking stuff.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Okay, you've got my attention. Yeah, let's start with fashion.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, the royals are always in the spotlight and
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: people are obsessed with what they wear.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, every single outfit, every accessory, it all gets
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: analyzed for meaning an impact. And there's one royal in
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: particular who has a huge influence on fashion trends. Princess Charlotte.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Wait, little Princess Charlotte. She's adorable, but I wouldn't exactly
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: call here a fashion icon.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: Oh but she is. It's called the Princess Charlotte effect. Basically,
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: whatever Charlotte wears sells out immediately.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Really seriously, give me an example.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: Okay, so picture this. Right after William and Kate showed
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: their newborn baby girl to the world, she was wrapped
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: in this cute little shawl.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'm picturing it, tiny princess soft shawl. Adorable.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: Well, literally minutes later, the designers of that shawl were
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: flooded with orders. People all of the world wanted the
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: same shawl for their babies. The website traffic was insane.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Wow, that's wild. So we're talking about serious money here,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: all because of the baby's outfit. It makes you wonder
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: if anyone's actually study how much influence she has and
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: how does it compare to other celebrities in their kids.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: It really is fascinating. It shows you how much power
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: the royals have, even the little ones. And fashion designers
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: know this. They know that if a royal wears something,
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: even by accident, their brand could become super successful.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: It makes you think about the pressure on Kate Middleton
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: to dress her kids. Every outfit becomes a statement.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: That's true. The Duchess of Cambridge is known for her
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: great fashion sense. She mixes high end designers with everyday brands,
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: and now with her kids, that influence is even bigger.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: It's like a whole new level of royal responsibility. So, listeners,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: have you ever been influenced by what a celebrity or
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: royal was wearing? Have you ever bought something just because
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: you saw someone famous wearing it? Tell us about it. Then,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: moving on from fashion, let's talk about something a little
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: less glamorous but just as interesting. Royal spending habits.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Royal finances are always interesting to people and
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: sometimes a bit controversial.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: Well, they live in palaces, fly private and wear those
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: fancy crowns. It's got to be expensive.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: Oh, it definitely is, and some of their expenses might
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: surprise you. Remember King Charles and those iron shoelaces.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Huh, the pampered prints, how could I forget?
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: Well, those specific habits go beyond justice shoes. It's been
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: said that he has a pretty unique morning routine.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'm listening, tell me everything.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: Huh.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: What does King Charles do every morning? That's so weird?
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: Well, his former butler, Paul Burrell's said that the King
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: has to have seven hard boiled eggs made for him
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: every morning for breakfast.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Seven that's a lot of eggs. Does he actually eat
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: all of them?
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: No, he only eats one.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: What he has seven eggs cooked, but only eats one?
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: What happens to the other six?
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: That's the big question, right. Apparently he has to find
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: the perfectly cooked egg. He looks at each one to
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: decide which one is cooked just the way he likes it.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Okay, that's a very particular preference. I guess when you're
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: the king you can be picky about your eggs. But
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: it does make you think about all that food waste.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Six perfectly good eggs maybe going to waste every day.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: I wonder if the palace kitchen uses them in other dishes.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: It does make you think about how different their lives
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: are compared to most people.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: It really does. What do you all think about King
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Charles's seven egg breakfast? Is it just a harmless little
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: quirk or a sign that he's too extravagant or something?
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Else completely. Let us know what you think on social media.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Welcome back to Beyond Infographics listeners. We're wrapping up our
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: royal deep dive with a few more fascinating facts about
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: the British royal family. You know, we've gone from those
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: weird shoe habits and adorable corgies to royal fashion and
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: those crazy breakfast routines.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and now for the grand finale, we're going into
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: the world of royal myths and rumors.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Oh I love a good royal rumor.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: What if you got Well, there's one that's been going
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: around for years about Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: They say she's obsessed with almond milk.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Almond milk, that's so specific. Where did that even come from.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: It's such a random thing to be a royal rumor.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: Apparently it started at a charity event Kate was at.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: Someone offered her almond milk because they thought that's what
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: she liked.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Ah, so it's just another case of misinformation spreading exactly.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: But here's the funny part. Kate shut down that rumor
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: right then and there. She told them, don't believe everything
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: you read. I don't even like almond milk.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Huh. I love that she set the record straight. It
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: reminds you that you can't believe everything you hear about
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: the royals. Speaking of rumors, there's another one about an
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: infestation of venomous spiders living under Windsor Castle.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, the Windsor Castle spider myth. It's a classic.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: The story is that engineers found tons of these huge,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: ancient spiders in the tunnels under the castle.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: It's a good story, right, A royal palace with a
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: secret colony of venomous spiders sounds like the thing out
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: of a scary movie.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: Oh. It definitely creeps me out. Giant venomous spiders under
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: where the royals live. That's nightmare fuel.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: It's a great story, but like most rumors, it's not true.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: There are spiders in the tunnels like you'd expect in
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: any old building, but they're just regular spiders, nothing ancient
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: or venomous.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Phew. That's good to know. I can sleep better knowing
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: there's not a spider army under Windsor Castle. Okay, Okay,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: last one. This one's a little more serious. Some people
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: believe that Prince Charles will never actually be king.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: That's an interesting one. That rumor has been around forever.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: Because Prince William and Kate Middleton are so popular, some
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: people think they'll skip over Charles and make William king.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: But isn't the line of succession based on tradition and
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: the law. How could they even change that?
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: You're right, the rules are very clear. It's all about primogeniture,
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: which means the throne goes to the monarch's oldest child,
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: so that's Charles. And even though the Queen can make
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: decisions about the monarchy, she can't change the line of succession.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: So it sounds like this is just some wishful thinking
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: from those hardcore William and Kate fans.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: It shows how popular they are, but that's not how
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: things work.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Well. That wraps up our royal deep dive. We've learned
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: some interesting things, debunk some myths, and hopefully you have
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: a better understanding of the British royal family all their
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: quirks and complexities.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: From shoes and corgies to almond milk and the line
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: of succession. It's been fun exploring the human side of royalty,
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: all the traditions, the pressure, and why people all over
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: the world are so fascinated by them.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: It really has been a lot of fun, and if
• 15:46
