- 1:20Speaker 1: j K no. Today we are featuring two drinks technically
- 1:25Speaker 1: because you have a cocktail. I have a cocktail from
- 1:28Speaker 1: the Montagna Rum company that is based out of Colorado,
- 1:32Speaker 1: and the actual co founder as well as creator is
- 1:35Speaker 1: Karen Hoskins, so shoutouts to them. I was very excited
- 1:39Speaker 1: to get this rom. I think actually this was one
- 1:41Speaker 1: of the first ones that we said we're going to
- 1:42Speaker 1: do an episode about women in the industry, and her
- 1:46Speaker 1: distillery popped up first as one of the many things.
- 1:50Speaker 1: So today we are drinking cocktails with Montagna Rum. And
- 1:54Speaker 1: we did try to go by their site because uh,
- 1:57Speaker 1: Karen Hoskins is also known as a bit of a
- 2:00Speaker 1: our tender and UH has some expertise in cocktail making
- 2:04Speaker 1: and had several recipes on their site, So if you
- 2:07Speaker 1: do want to check out their site, the company's name
- 2:09Speaker 1: is Montana m O n t A in y a
- 2:13Speaker 1: Rum and they do have a lot of good recipes
- 2:16Speaker 1: on they're including zero proof ones, which we're nice. When
- 2:20Speaker 1: we had pomegranate juice and ginger ale, yeah, I liked
- 2:23Speaker 1: a really good. That sounds good. But today for myself,
- 2:27Speaker 1: I'm gonna go ahead and pour my drunk, not gonna drunk.
- 2:30Speaker 1: So yes, we're gonna do the ace in our bits.
- 2:32Speaker 1: So if you don't like this gip five seconds ahead.
- 2:35Speaker 1: Here we go, oh dripping ah And actually one of
- 2:46Speaker 1: our listeners front of the show gave us some advice
- 2:49Speaker 1: on if you actually want to make a sour, to
- 2:52Speaker 1: take the little springy part of the strainer, which there
- 2:55Speaker 1: if you know what I'm talking about, the little handle strainers,
- 2:57Speaker 1: and to put it into the mixer if you're ever
- 3:01Speaker 1: using egg, to make sure you get real good mixed up.
- 3:05Speaker 1: Thank you for that. That right, I'm always happy to
- 3:09Speaker 1: get tips like that. I'm always excited. But yeah, so
- 3:12Speaker 1: we do have beautiful little cocktails from the site of Montania.
- 3:17Speaker 1: I did add some variation. What cocktail are you drinking, Annie,
- 3:21Speaker 1: I'm drinking something that is called the hoser, which I've
- 3:24Speaker 1: never heard of before. Yeah, I'm wondering if it's a
- 3:27Speaker 1: reference to like the Indiana Hoosiers like that, are the
- 3:29Speaker 1: hosers the hoser? I would have no idea about any
- 3:33Speaker 1: of that. I thought maybe it was because it was
- 3:36Speaker 1: strong and it will like cose you down. Oh see,
- 3:39Speaker 1: I'm thinking of like the Canadians who like to call
- 3:42Speaker 1: each other hosers listeners right in and that is an
- 3:46Speaker 1: area offensive? Please tell me that is? Yes, so this
- 3:51Speaker 1: is rum and well, the original recipe is supposed to
- 3:55Speaker 1: be rum maple syrup and fresh screen lemon juice. I
- 4:02Speaker 1: went scavenging through my disaster of a pantry, which is
- 4:06Speaker 1: samantha nose is a risk every time, and uh, I
- 4:11Speaker 1: could not find simple syrup, which is the suggested substitution
- 4:15Speaker 1: for maple syrup, which I know for a fact I
- 4:17Speaker 1: have and not like the artificially flavored kind. I have
- 4:21Speaker 1: maple syrup. Somebody got me some a couple of years back.
- 4:23Speaker 1: I couldn't find it, so I used to gave, which
- 4:27Speaker 1: was a bit of a disaster. My hands are very sticky.
- 4:30Speaker 1: And also I didn't use lemon. I used lime because
- 4:33Speaker 1: I don't have any lemon, but I do have lime.
- 4:36Speaker 1: So I this is like a hoser two point zero
- 4:41Speaker 1: Georgia hoser, a Georgia hoser, which could say a lot
- 4:45Speaker 1: in itself. Yes, yes, I mean, apart from the kind
- 4:51Speaker 1: of disaster of making it tastes very lovely nice. I
- 4:56Speaker 1: did the sidecar rum cocktail recipe on this right, So
- 5:01Speaker 1: the portions seem off to me, And maybe it's because
- 5:04Speaker 1: I'm not like a well honestly, I haven't had cocktails
- 5:08Speaker 1: like more than one at a time, essentially outside of
- 5:10Speaker 1: what you and I do. If we're having a festive
- 5:12Speaker 1: day swords definitely not outside. And again this is kind
- 5:16Speaker 1: of my new world, because you know, I'll put things
- 5:17Speaker 1: together but not actually make things. I did have all
- 5:21Speaker 1: of the ingredients for this time around, so I went
- 5:23Speaker 1: ahead and do it. Did this one and it's rum,
- 5:26Speaker 1: and we have the montana or a rum by the way,
- 5:28Speaker 1: y'all juice of a fresh orange. So it took me
- 5:31Speaker 1: a long time forgot that meant one whole orange because
- 5:33Speaker 1: I kept screaming at the screen how many oranges? What
- 5:35Speaker 1: how many ounces? Juice of a half a lime and
- 5:39Speaker 1: then some simple syrup to taste, So the amount of
- 5:44Speaker 1: and it could be based on what kind of orange
- 5:46Speaker 1: you get, how juicy it is, you know, it's varies.
- 5:49Speaker 1: There was a lot more of rum to everything else portions.
- 5:53Speaker 1: I was like, I'm gonna have to edit this a
- 5:56Speaker 1: little bit. Don't get me wrong. The rum is tasty,
- 5:59Speaker 1: but don't mind it. Sometimes it's like m hm. So
- 6:04Speaker 1: I added a little more orange, like I did, another
- 6:06Speaker 1: half an orange, and then I decided I wanted basil
- 6:10Speaker 1: in it, and I bail because I feel like like
- 6:12Speaker 1: any kind of citrus with basil is phenomenal. M hm.
- 6:16Speaker 1: So added a basil to it with um, a little
- 6:20Speaker 1: bit of sparkling water. So just we have a soda
- 6:23Speaker 1: stream now, thank you Annie who gifted us hers. And
- 6:28Speaker 1: I use a little that because I like the little
- 6:29Speaker 1: sparkly bits, like anything sparkly, and so I added that.
- 6:33Speaker 1: So that is my drink. So I also did a
- 6:35Speaker 1: variation of it, but essentially it is the sidecar anyway.
- 6:40Speaker 1: But yeah, so I am having this lovely drink and
- 6:42Speaker 1: I think I have enough for another glass after this episode.
- 6:46Speaker 1: So I'm very excited about that Friday. It is Friday,
- 6:52Speaker 1: and I love it. And yeah, from their own site,
- 6:55Speaker 1: they say about the rum, it's distilled, aged and bottled
- 6:59Speaker 1: in said butte Colorado is made with Louisiana sugarcane grown
- 7:04Speaker 1: by families they know personally and love greatly that, that's
- 7:08Speaker 1: what they say, bottled with water from snow melted fed
- 7:11Speaker 1: aquifer right below the barrel house and bottling facility, finished
- 7:16Speaker 1: with the tiniest touch of Colorado honey. So very exciting.
- 7:20Speaker 1: It is very good, by the way, And uh, any
- 7:24Speaker 1: this might have to go into our rotation, like I'll
- 7:26Speaker 1: do some you know, fix into it to make it
- 7:29Speaker 1: kind of ours. Sure do you have a Star Wars
- 7:32Speaker 1: name for this already. Let me see the color. The
- 7:36Speaker 1: color is kind of multi layered. It's like a yellowish
- 7:41Speaker 1: tap and orange e peach bottom. Yeah, so essentially this
- 7:44Speaker 1: happened because I used the car a car oranges, which
- 7:47Speaker 1: are my favorite because I think they're sweeter and more
- 7:49Speaker 1: delicious and they have a pinkish almost like a great
- 7:52Speaker 1: fruit level. But then the lime all in all of
- 7:55Speaker 1: the ram which is dark, not dark, but a little
- 7:57Speaker 1: more golden m and then that kind of changed the colors.
- 8:01Speaker 1: But it does look like a reminiscence of like a
- 8:04Speaker 1: buliny I guess it does. It does. Yeah, so we've
- 8:09Speaker 1: already taken tattooings. Sunset is very pink, which is what
- 8:15Speaker 1: so it can't be this exactly, but that was the
- 8:18Speaker 1: first thing that came to my mind. Workshop it. We're
- 8:22Speaker 1: gonna workshop it. Anybody have any good uh orange yellow
- 8:27Speaker 1: ish pun related Star Wars drink. It's in my way.
- 8:31Speaker 1: It could be rum canobi no, and you know, get
- 8:37Speaker 1: out of here, get out fine one robe right behind me.
- 8:41Speaker 1: I can put that on instead instead of leaving. Let
- 8:44Speaker 1: me put my robe on. Oh this happy hours already
- 8:47Speaker 1: gone completely awry. But Yeah, So I'm very much in
- 8:52Speaker 1: love with this type of rum. It's delicious and it
- 8:55Speaker 1: is sweet. I think that's what I love about Rum's
- 8:58Speaker 1: like I could just put it with some sparkling water
- 9:01Speaker 1: and I don't feel like I need to add sugars
- 9:02Speaker 1: to it. All the off cars, with all of the
- 9:05Speaker 1: I did put sugar in this one, but it's very tasty.
- 9:09Speaker 1: So what we wanted to talk about today just kind
- 9:11Speaker 1: of give you a little history of who Karen Hoskins is.
- 9:15Speaker 1: She apparently was living in India around I think late twenties,
- 9:19Speaker 1: mid twenties, and she was introduced to a really beautifully
- 9:23Speaker 1: aged rum called Old Monk, which, according to her side,
- 9:27Speaker 1: started a love affair with rom and and from what
- 9:30Speaker 1: I gather that she was diagnosed with celiac at a
- 9:32Speaker 1: young age and knew she couldn't have beers and other
- 9:35Speaker 1: alcohols and kind of went ahead, was like, if I'm
- 9:37Speaker 1: going to drink alcohol, I wanted to be the best,
- 9:41Speaker 1: and having this type of ROM really just kind of
- 9:44Speaker 1: pushed her into, uh, looking at how they're made and
- 9:48Speaker 1: what to do. She traveled all around the world, including Jamaica,
- 9:52Speaker 1: tasting different realms and and kind of learning about how
- 9:55Speaker 1: they are sustainable as well as they are local and
- 9:58Speaker 1: loving the area that at the environment that they are
- 10:01Speaker 1: in and kind of giving homage to whatever they create
- 10:05Speaker 1: to the land that it comes from, if that makes sense.
- 10:08Speaker 1: And in two thousand and seven, she started her own
- 10:11Speaker 1: distillery in Silverton, Colorado, which has won so many awards,
- 10:15Speaker 1: including Best in Class designations, USA Rum of the Year,
- 10:20Speaker 1: Craft Distillery of the Year. They've won gold and double
- 10:23Speaker 1: gold medals in different like competitions in Spirit World, so
- 10:27Speaker 1: they're definitely big. And they are distributed throughout forty four
- 10:31Speaker 1: states within the country, so that's pretty big market for
- 10:35Speaker 1: being uh independently owned distillery. So that's pretty amazing in itself.
- 10:40Speaker 1: One of the things that got me to think about
- 10:42Speaker 1: because their pride and their distillery is that is American rum,
- 10:46Speaker 1: and you don't really hear much about it, but they
- 10:48Speaker 1: have started to pop up, especially she kind of was
- 10:51Speaker 1: a trendsetter in her area and they started popping up
- 10:54Speaker 1: left and right. But when I think about rum, where
- 10:56Speaker 1: do you think of Caribbean? So even Puerto Rico, Like
- 11:01Speaker 1: I know, when I came home from Puerto Rico, I
- 11:03Speaker 1: gave out little bottles of rum as celebratory. Hey, I
- 11:07Speaker 1: went on a vacation and you're welcome be be jealous
- 11:11Speaker 1: and stuff like that, which is beautiful, And then trying
- 11:14Speaker 1: to think about what it is to have pride in
- 11:17Speaker 1: a product and falling in love with a product and
- 11:19Speaker 1: making it your own without appropriating, right, And I think
- 11:25Speaker 1: that that was something in my mind because again, I'm
- 11:27Speaker 1: not really seen too many RUMs being made in the US,
- 11:31Speaker 1: and so I was like, Colorado, that seems kind of random,
- 11:33Speaker 1: what's happening here? But she again, she like what she
- 11:37Speaker 1: saw when she traveled, wanted to give an homage to
- 11:41Speaker 1: a rum but be her own area. So whether it
- 11:44Speaker 1: is using sugar grown by friends, like, she knows where
- 11:48Speaker 1: it comes from, she knows the basis of it, she
- 11:50Speaker 1: knows who she's helping, as well as making sure that
- 11:54Speaker 1: it has the personality of her home, her area, Colorado.
- 11:59Speaker 1: So it's beauty awful to see that. But there's such
- 12:01Speaker 1: a fine line, would you agree and making something your
- 12:07Speaker 1: own without taking something away? Yes, And a couple of
- 12:12Speaker 1: points off of that, I did want to point out
- 12:14Speaker 1: I am several years ago Favor went to Hawaii and
- 12:20Speaker 1: uh not to the mareg but they make agricole um there,
- 12:25Speaker 1: which I'd never had before, and I tried it there
- 12:29Speaker 1: and I fell in love with it and it was
- 12:31Speaker 1: so amazing. And the owners there they talked about exactly
- 12:35Speaker 1: what you're talking about about that sort of fine line
- 12:38Speaker 1: of because it's sort of an ancient practice involved in
- 12:42Speaker 1: that and how do you take that and be respectful
- 12:46Speaker 1: of it. And then also Puerto Rico, yes does have
- 12:50Speaker 1: a big rum presence, but also is technically part of
- 12:53Speaker 1: the US. Right. But yeah, I I've been thinking about
- 12:56Speaker 1: this a lot lately because like all of us, I
- 13:00Speaker 1: imagine I've grown a lot, especially in terms of being
- 13:06Speaker 1: on the show, but also just getting out of a
- 13:08Speaker 1: small town and going to the city. And there are
- 13:10Speaker 1: things I look back on and I just cringe, and
- 13:12Speaker 1: I think you were just a stupid white girl in
- 13:15Speaker 1: a foreign country who thought this was cool or didn't
- 13:18Speaker 1: appreciate the like beyond getting the picture or the experience
- 13:23Speaker 1: everything behind it. And it makes me feel really really
- 13:29Speaker 1: bad about myself. But I do think it's a part
- 13:31Speaker 1: of a learning process and I get it, but it
- 13:33Speaker 1: still makes me feel bad about myself. Right, So I
- 13:36Speaker 1: definitely fill you with the like trying to balance that
- 13:39Speaker 1: because again we've talked about it before where people truly
- 13:43Speaker 1: can't understand being appreciative versus appropriating. And that's why we
- 13:49Speaker 1: have to have this conversation. And I think Hoskins does
- 13:52Speaker 1: a great job in the sense of that she does
- 13:54Speaker 1: at the very beginning. Everybody knows her story. Everybody knows
- 13:57Speaker 1: why she loves it, and it was her travels Tobra
- 14:00Speaker 1: and and being introduced to these things into falling in
- 14:03Speaker 1: love with these things, and then making her own variation
- 14:06Speaker 1: of it, not trying to make it, saying like she
- 14:10Speaker 1: re created something new right exactly. So that's a beautiful task.
- 14:14Speaker 1: And yeah, the whole issue with Puerto Rico, I have
- 14:16Speaker 1: a hard time sometimes in saying they're part of the US,
- 14:20Speaker 1: not because I don't want them to, but because so
- 14:23Speaker 1: many Puerto Ricans that I've met are so angry, rightfully
- 14:27Speaker 1: so that they have been essentially claimed a territory without
- 14:32Speaker 1: any rights, without any voices, without any choice of what's happening,
- 14:36Speaker 1: and then being very much mothered by politics and itself
- 14:41Speaker 1: as well as being stripped of a lot of their rights,
- 14:45Speaker 1: a lot of their money, a lot of the funding,
- 14:47Speaker 1: a lot of the help, but being told you are
- 14:49Speaker 1: a part of our place. And I know I have
- 14:53Speaker 1: very strong stance after living just just small amount of
- 14:56Speaker 1: time and getting to know some of the people that
- 14:59Speaker 1: lived in Puerto Rico about Hey, this is why we're angry,
- 15:01Speaker 1: and I'm like, yeah, you should be. This is what
- 15:04Speaker 1: the U s has done repeatedly, and we know this
- 15:06Speaker 1: and it's ugly and it needs to be talked about.
- 15:08Speaker 1: So I don't I feel like it's insulting to Puerto
- 15:13Speaker 1: Rico when I say they are part of the US,
- 15:16Speaker 1: even though they are. Yeah, because the US are bullies.
- 15:22Speaker 1: So I'm just leave that there before I start. My
- 15:25Speaker 1: name is gonna be on a list somewhere for really
- 15:29Speaker 1: I think I think I'm on a list for really all.
- 15:32Speaker 1: But yes, I think one of the things that I've
- 15:34Speaker 1: been considering and talking about because I want to enjoy
- 15:37Speaker 1: and support local and that's what she's talking about. But
- 15:40Speaker 1: when you have something like rom when you have something
- 15:42Speaker 1: that obviously deep rooted in deep history, there's a lot
- 15:46Speaker 1: of things that you have to think about. As well
- 15:48Speaker 1: as the fact that she is an advocate if nothing else,
- 15:53Speaker 1: she definitely has different programs that talk about diversity and
- 15:56Speaker 1: gender diversity, creating programs. She's worked with women to help
- 16:00Speaker 1: them create their distilleries as well, much like um, how
- 16:03Speaker 1: we were talking about for Uncle Nearest and they did
- 16:07Speaker 1: that as well. That it is awesome to see that
- 16:10Speaker 1: that's happening. But again, it's just such a fine line
- 16:14Speaker 1: on what to claim. I mean, we didn't talk about this,
- 16:18Speaker 1: and I wanted to and our Joy Luck Club and
- 16:20Speaker 1: this is not the same. I want that to be said.
- 16:23Speaker 1: But the young and the white women who came in
- 16:26Speaker 1: and saying not your mother's mang or something like that.
- 16:29Speaker 1: When they say not your typical old fashioned young essentially
- 16:33Speaker 1: is like saying it's new and we're gonna put these
- 16:35Speaker 1: new characters and we're gonna make it pretty. And it
- 16:37Speaker 1: was such a slab in the phase for so many
- 16:40Speaker 1: people in the Asian community who have been playing this
- 16:42Speaker 1: game forever and it's a part of a long standing
- 16:46Speaker 1: tradition for them, and how uh like the pieces and
- 16:50Speaker 1: the game pieces were symbolic of specific things in their culture.
- 16:54Speaker 1: And these white women were like, look, we're gonna charge
- 16:57Speaker 1: you ten times more than everybody else because we invented
- 17:00Speaker 1: this new game. But yeah, so it's cut stuff like
- 17:03Speaker 1: that that it's kind of like, and we know the
- 17:05Speaker 1: Kardashians have been great over the coals repeatedly for a
- 17:09Speaker 1: culturally appropriating different things, including stealing. Again, not the same.
- 17:15Speaker 1: This is not in comparison to what we're talking about
- 17:18Speaker 1: specific with this distill really obviously because they didn't. They're
- 17:20Speaker 1: doing amazing job. But the Kardashians have been accused of
- 17:24Speaker 1: stealing people from different cultures products and try to make
- 17:28Speaker 1: it their own. And that's this whole conversation about how
- 17:31Speaker 1: do you do this if you do this without slabbing
- 17:34Speaker 1: in the face of the originators, Yeah, yeah, And I
- 17:38Speaker 1: think that's a really important conversation to have. And um,
- 17:41Speaker 1: this is a probably a topic for another happy hour,
- 17:44Speaker 1: but um, there are several liquors like rum that My
- 17:50Speaker 1: experience was bad in college. It was bad experience and
- 17:55Speaker 1: that was in part because I was buying cheaper room
- 17:57Speaker 1: and part because I didn't know what I was doing
- 17:59Speaker 1: when it came to drinking. But there's that kind of
- 18:01Speaker 1: whole capitalistic layer of this. Two of you know, generally
- 18:04Speaker 1: white people came in and we're like, Okay, we can
- 18:06Speaker 1: make money off of this traditional thing that you've been doing.
- 18:09Speaker 1: We're gonna make it way cheaper. So not only is
- 18:11Speaker 1: it like taking this thing, it's making it worse and
- 18:16Speaker 1: giving it this reputation of like, oh, that's that's just
- 18:18Speaker 1: gonna make you vomit, or you know what, it can
- 18:20Speaker 1: be this really beautiful product, and it does have all
- 18:22Speaker 1: of this history, and I think we are seeing kind
- 18:25Speaker 1: of a reclaiming of that, or at least people are
- 18:28Speaker 1: more interested in having something that is more responsibly sourced
- 18:32Speaker 1: and taste better. But that's also another layer of this.
- 18:36Speaker 1: Is this just all this cheap stuff that most of
- 18:40Speaker 1: us that's our introduction and we just assume that's what
- 18:44Speaker 1: it must all be, which must be infuriating if that's
- 18:48Speaker 1: like in your history and your culture, right. And of course,
- 18:51Speaker 1: like I said, Hoskins has talked about the fact that
- 18:53Speaker 1: this is a little different and this is a variation,
- 18:56Speaker 1: but kind of how we were talking about the Pisco,
- 19:00Speaker 1: the fact that it was we don't know who's Chilean
- 19:02Speaker 1: and what's Peruvian, and their little different takes, it's kind
- 19:05Speaker 1: of that same measure as well. Of course, being in
- 19:07Speaker 1: the US, it's much younger practice because it is a
- 19:10Speaker 1: New York thing here. But I definitely welcome new variations.
- 19:16Speaker 1: But if you're doing it, do it like Montana has
- 19:19Speaker 1: been able to do, which they do credit uh the
- 19:21Speaker 1: other cultures, and they do talk about why they feel
- 19:24Speaker 1: this is important. They do talk about their practices and
- 19:27Speaker 1: in like the depth of who she was and why
- 19:31Speaker 1: she thinks this isn't important and why she loves it.
- 19:33Speaker 1: If you are appropriate and really giving homage, it is
- 19:36Speaker 1: a beautiful product and a beautiful idea. I think there's
- 19:40Speaker 1: so much as we're talking about the bigger impact of
- 19:44Speaker 1: the old capitalistic ideas, we do have to talk about
- 19:47Speaker 1: the consequences as well when it comes to origination and
- 19:51Speaker 1: being erased, Like that's that's a whole other conversation. And
- 19:56Speaker 1: I do love that Hoskins is doing so much for
- 19:59Speaker 1: it and has continued to elevate other women elevate others
- 20:03Speaker 1: in this conversation. She's also been a big spokesperson for
- 20:06Speaker 1: anti racism stuff and campaigns, and I love it she
- 20:09Speaker 1: on her website calls it out for what it is,
- 20:11Speaker 1: and I don't see too many businesses do that. They
- 20:13Speaker 1: just do the black square and just move on. And
- 20:16Speaker 1: she actually calls it out or the business actually calls
- 20:19Speaker 1: it out, and I think that's an amazing token of
- 20:22Speaker 1: who they are and who they want to be in
- 20:24Speaker 1: making change. And of course that's who we want to highlight,
- 20:27Speaker 1: are the people who are seeking to make change. But
- 20:31Speaker 1: we're not gonna, you know, glance over some of the
- 20:34Speaker 1: problematic things that could be associated if not proper like,
- 20:38Speaker 1: we don't want to ignore those either. Right, this has
- 20:41Speaker 1: been a pretty deep happy hour. I know I'm gonna
- 20:44Speaker 1: drink more of my rooms. I feel like we do
- 20:46Speaker 1: sometimes get pretty deep unless it's me talking about uh no,
- 20:50Speaker 1: even then, even my stuff, you're nerdy stuff because you
- 20:54Speaker 1: have the unhappy hour. That's some deep stuff I want,
- 20:59Speaker 1: like a trade mark and Reese happy Hour. Yes, I'll
- 21:05Speaker 1: find it for you. Perfect. It doesn't just be a
- 21:07Speaker 1: sad cloud in it, like you're gonna get the sad cloud.
- 21:09Speaker 1: Care Bear. This is. That's so funny because most of
- 21:14Speaker 1: my nicknames are like Sunshine right side, like all this
- 21:17Speaker 1: time in my world, unhappy hour, sad care Bear, my
- 21:23Speaker 1: sad care bear. She's over here. I'll take it. I'll
- 21:26Speaker 1: take it. Well. Cheers, everybody cheers as always. If there's
