• 0:30
  Speaker 1: was showing Zach a message somebody sent me earlier, and
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: down south they would say, bless your heart, and I
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: can't I can't get mad. See, this is what I
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: talk about with language and stuff all the time. It's
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: not words, it's intent behind words. And the intent behind
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: the message that I shared with Zach during the break
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: is not bad intent. Completely misguided and wrong, mind you,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: but it's not a bad intent. It's from somebody who
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: was actually very well meaning and and attempting to U
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: to show concern. But they're just they're so wrong, and
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: what do you do? You know, I I'm not mad.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: I can't jump on them. And sometimes you just have
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: to ignore that kind of thing, because there's there's really
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: no way to answer without either saying things you shouldn't say,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: or or letting cats out of bags or or you know,

• 2:30
  Speaker 1: of procedure did you have? What you There are some
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: things you share in some things you don't. Now I
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: understand many in the younger generation don't get that they
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: share everything, and some older folks too. I got a
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: couple of people who are older people, and I'm literally
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: watching them lose their minds on social media. But what
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: do you do? You can't do anything. But everybody is
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: used to having what they believe is uh is in
