- 0:01Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West
- 0:05Speaker 1: Carrol Morning Show.
- 0:09Speaker 2: Friday morning, ninth day of January. I'm Wes.
- 0:15Speaker 3: Thanks for joining me. We'll get to our Friday edition
- 0:20Speaker 3: of the show coming up. I just little follow up
- 0:22Speaker 3: on yesterday because now we've gotten a little more information.
- 0:28Speaker 3: An investigation needs to take place. But yes, a woman
- 0:32Speaker 3: was killed in Minneapolis. It's a tragic story. I talked
- 0:36Speaker 3: about it yesterday. There's a few things here at play.
- 0:41Speaker 3: First of all, I want to make sure I didn't
- 0:43Speaker 3: really talk about this yesterday, But two things that are important.
- 0:47Speaker 3: We should pray for this family of this woman who
- 0:51Speaker 3: was shot and killed. It is a tragedy when a
- 0:54Speaker 3: human life is lost, especially when it was avoidable. There's
- 1:00Speaker 3: people that are saying that this is something that this was.
- 1:04Speaker 3: I mean, you have politicians that are saying it's murder.
- 1:06Speaker 3: This was an Ice agent who just shot her for
- 1:09Speaker 3: no reason. The video evidence doesn't support that, not at all.
- 1:14Speaker 3: We'll get to that in a second. The other thing
- 1:16Speaker 3: I think.
- 1:17Speaker 2: We need to do.
- 1:17Speaker 3: While we're praying for the family of this woman, we
- 1:21Speaker 3: should also be praying for the officer involved. Not only
- 1:24Speaker 3: was he hit by a vehicle and we now know
- 1:27Speaker 3: that to be the case. He was treated at the
- 1:28Speaker 3: hospital for being hit by a vehicle. We now have
- 1:31Speaker 3: another angle of the video that shows him being struck
- 1:34Speaker 3: by the vehicle at the point when he shot, the
- 1:40Speaker 3: angle of the bullet. Some of the forensics experts are
- 1:43Speaker 3: even going into saying, look, you can tell based on
- 1:45Speaker 3: where the shot went into the windshield in the front
- 1:49Speaker 3: that was the point when impact was had and it
- 1:51Speaker 3: caused his shot to go down. Anyway, that aside, he
- 1:56Speaker 3: needs our prayers. I don't know if you know any
- 1:59Speaker 3: police saw officers. I don't know if you know any
- 2:01Speaker 3: police officers who have been involved in a shooting. I
- 2:06Speaker 3: don't know if you know any police officers who've been
- 2:08Speaker 3: involved in even having to pull.
- 2:10Speaker 2: A gun on someone.
- 2:13Speaker 3: I have a friend who was a police officer, and
- 2:16Speaker 3: soon after he had to pull his gun on someone
- 2:19Speaker 3: in a situation where it was going to be them
- 2:22Speaker 3: or him, he just didn't want to be a cop anymore.
- 2:28Speaker 3: He didn't want the job anymore. They go through training
- 2:33Speaker 3: to prepare them for that, and sometimes even that isn't enough.
- 2:38Speaker 3: There's things sometimes that you see or experience and you
- 2:42Speaker 3: just can't get it out of your head. It has
- 2:44Speaker 3: an effect on you indefinitely. We need to pray for
- 2:49Speaker 3: that officer. That officer, as we're learning more details, was
- 2:53Speaker 3: involved in a situation where he was hit by a
- 2:56Speaker 3: car previously and it dragged him. Had to be a
- 3:00Speaker 3: traumatic experience for him on all levels. Now, again, as
- 3:06Speaker 3: I said yesterday, we need all the evidence, We need
- 3:08Speaker 3: the investigation. It certainly looks like there's enough evidence there
- 3:12Speaker 3: to clear this officer and a justified shooting.
- 3:15Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 3:18Speaker 3: Anything new that could change what we see in the video,
- 3:22Speaker 3: but at this point we have to let that play out.
- 3:24Speaker 3: And it's what politicians should have done, It's what all
- 3:27Speaker 3: the pundits should have done. But this is a good
- 3:30Speaker 3: teachable moment for your children. This is a teachable moment
- 3:35Speaker 3: for those adults in your life that have been brainwashed
- 3:39Speaker 3: into believing that when a politician tells them to do
- 3:42Speaker 3: something or suggests that they do something, that they think
- 3:45Speaker 3: they have to.
- 3:45Speaker 2: Go do it.
- 3:47Speaker 3: I don't know how to make it more clear to you,
- 3:50Speaker 3: And this is for both sides of the aisle. Okay,
- 3:55Speaker 3: you can have a big vision picture that you think
- 3:57Speaker 3: the politicians that I vote for agree with the same
- 4:00Speaker 3: things that I do, and that's why I vote for them.
- 4:03Speaker 3: But when they're giving you direct orders to do things,
- 4:07Speaker 3: Now this goes. This ties in a little bit to
- 4:09Speaker 3: the whole Mark Kelly thing and all of these politicians
- 4:12Speaker 3: who made a video telling that the military, and I
- 4:17Speaker 3: guess law enforcement or federal agents where you don't have
- 4:20Speaker 3: to obey an order that you disagree with or that's illegal.
- 4:24Speaker 3: That's what it was, that it's illegal. You don't have
- 4:27Speaker 3: to obey. You're allowed to disobey an illegal order, just
- 4:33Speaker 3: as a citizen. You're allowed to disobey any orders from
- 4:37Speaker 3: politicians who kind of tell you to go do things
- 4:40Speaker 3: or suggest that you do, or when they tell you
- 4:43Speaker 3: that the federal agents doing their jobs are Nazi secret police.
- 4:50Speaker 3: You're allowed to question that. You're allowed to say it
- 4:53Speaker 3: doesn't seem right. You're allowed to be John Fetterman and
- 4:57Speaker 3: say it doesn't seem right. He's a Democrat and it
- 5:01Speaker 3: doesn't seem right. Now, we do need to let the
- 5:06Speaker 3: investigation play out. We need to let this go through
- 5:10Speaker 3: the system that it goes through. But it's pretty clear
- 5:13Speaker 3: in the video the officer was struck by a vehicle.
- 5:18Speaker 3: Why she hit him, Who knows. Was it intentional, was
- 5:22Speaker 3: it not intentional? Was she just trying to flee the
- 5:24Speaker 3: scene after obstructing All accounts are that she had been
- 5:29Speaker 3: obstructing ice at other locations throughout the day. So just
- 5:36Speaker 3: use this as a teaching moment for your children or
- 5:39Speaker 3: those people in your life that need to hear you
- 5:42Speaker 3: don't have to go do these things. And if the
- 5:45Speaker 3: police or federal agents or someone with a gun is involved,
- 5:49Speaker 3: it's best to stay out of it completely. I mean,
- 5:54Speaker 3: you get involved in something in the street. We have
- 5:56Speaker 3: a tendency to do that. We see someone being bullied
- 5:59Speaker 3: or picked on in the street and we just keep walking.
- 6:05Speaker 3: Think about what happened in Charlotte on that train. You know,
- 6:08Speaker 3: people were like they just walked away, and a lot
- 6:12Speaker 3: of people said, how could they just walk away? Well,
- 6:14Speaker 3: there's a guy with a knife dripping with blood. You
- 6:16Speaker 3: walk away, what are you gonna do? Be the next victim? Now,
- 6:22Speaker 3: I'm not advocating complete cowardice all the time. This hero
- 6:25Speaker 3: at Bondi Beach who disarmed someone, he got himself shot,
- 6:29Speaker 3: But how many lives did he save? I'm not dismissing heroism,
- 6:37Speaker 3: but I'm dismissing idiocy in a situation where you can't
- 6:41Speaker 3: You can't run into a sniper alley to try to
- 6:45Speaker 3: save someone and think, I can't believe I got shot.
- 6:50Speaker 3: You can't fight with police and be surprised that your
- 6:53Speaker 3: obstruction gets thrown in jail for a long time, or
- 6:57Speaker 3: you can't attack police and be surprised when you get shot.
- 7:02Speaker 3: And I'm not saying that that's what she did. We again,
- 7:05Speaker 3: we need all the details, every bit of it, but
- 7:10Speaker 3: you can't win that. Those are situations that you deal
- 7:15Speaker 3: with in court. If the police are doing something that
- 7:18Speaker 3: you don't agree with, deal with it in court. This
- 7:22Speaker 3: is a good opportunity to remind your children of that
- 7:26Speaker 3: all of the conversations that we have about this group
- 7:29Speaker 3: or that group, of pressing this oppressing that group, the
- 7:32Speaker 3: foundation here is obey law enforcement. If they're telling you
- 7:36Speaker 3: something they shouldn't be telling you, deal with it in
- 7:38Speaker 3: the courts. And if you don't believe it's going to
- 7:40Speaker 3: get resolved in the courts, don't take a chance on
- 7:42Speaker 3: trying to resolve it in the street. It's not going
- 7:45Speaker 3: to go your way most of the time, all right.
- 7:51Speaker 3: I had to say that, had to get that out
- 7:53Speaker 3: and we have to pray for this woman's family, we
- 7:56Speaker 3: have to pray for her friends, we have to pray
- 7:58Speaker 3: for the officer, his family, everyone involved. This is not
- 8:02Speaker 3: a good situation and we need the tone to calm down,
- 8:05Speaker 3: and we need to stop trying to take advantage of
- 8:07Speaker 3: horrible things when they happen. Horrible things happening should not
- 8:11Speaker 3: be where politicians and news channels start rubbing their hands
- 8:16Speaker 3: together and getting excited. That is not how it's supposed
- 8:21Speaker 3: to work. All right, Let's get into some good news
- 8:25Speaker 3: because we need a little good news before we get
- 8:27Speaker 3: a little snarky. It's the way it works on Fridays.
- 8:31Speaker 3: So how about this. There's a sixteen year old Danny
- 8:35Speaker 3: mctigue in the hospital and says he wants to make
- 8:41Speaker 3: sure that the stay is I'm sorry, it's ash. Wants
- 8:45Speaker 3: to make the stay a little brighter for young patients
- 8:51Speaker 3: in Oklahoma City. Danny recently secured two thousand dollars grant
- 8:55Speaker 3: through the four h Lead for Change program use every
- 8:58Speaker 3: penny to buy art supplies for Pahoma's Children's Hospital. Donation
- 9:03Speaker 3: including everything from clay and paint to canvases, all part
- 9:09Speaker 3: of a mission called Danny's dream. Having discovered her own
- 9:12Speaker 3: love for art at the age of five, Danny wanted
- 9:15Speaker 3: to provide patients with a chance to be creative and
- 9:19Speaker 3: then bring them a little peace and happiness during their treatments.
- 9:23Speaker 3: Hospital staff say these kinds of donations are game changers,
- 9:27Speaker 3: turning a stressful environment into a place where kids can
- 9:30Speaker 3: actually have some fun. Danny isn't stopping there, though, she
- 9:33Speaker 3: plans to keep applying for grants as she works towards
- 9:36Speaker 3: her goal of becoming an art therapist. This is such
- 9:41Speaker 3: a great story all around. Not only is it helping
- 9:43Speaker 3: other patients other kids there at the hospital, but also
- 9:47Speaker 3: helped her find her passion for what she would like
- 9:49Speaker 3: to do with her life. That's win when all across
- 9:54Speaker 3: the board, everything about this great story. All right, let's
- 9:58Speaker 3: jump into now some strange and bizarre news from around
- 10:02Speaker 3: the world. A quirky tech mix up at a police
- 10:04Speaker 3: department in Utah making headlines and getting some laughs. The
- 10:09Speaker 3: hebre I guess it's Hebert, maybe Heber, but it looks
- 10:11Speaker 3: like Hebrew City police department says that one of its
- 10:14Speaker 3: new artificial intelligence tools accidentally generated a police report claiming
- 10:18Speaker 3: an officer had been turned into a frog. The department
- 10:23Speaker 3: recently started using two AI programs to help draft reports
- 10:26Speaker 3: from body camera footage. During one incident, though, the software
- 10:31Speaker 3: picked up audio from a Disney movie The Princess and
- 10:33Speaker 3: the Frog that was on in the background and folded
- 10:36Speaker 3: that storyline into the official report. Sergeant Rick Keel says
- 10:41Speaker 3: the mistake was a wake up call about double checking
- 10:44Speaker 3: AI generated documents. Still, he says technology is saving him
- 10:49Speaker 3: six to eight hours of work every week. Department plans
- 10:51Speaker 3: to keep using it. Just a little closer oversight, or
- 10:56Speaker 3: maybe the officer turned into a frog trying to cover
- 11:00Speaker 3: it up. It's possible, wasn't it. Jump over to Thailand,
- 11:04Speaker 3: where police arrested a thirty eight year old fortune teller
- 11:07Speaker 3: after he allegedly stole a woman's smartphone, apparently to prove
- 11:11Speaker 3: one of his own predictions. Authority say the victim a
- 11:14Speaker 3: nineteen year old woman named Pim, and stopped outside a
- 11:18Speaker 3: temple after noticing a poorly dressed fortune teller offering readings.
- 11:23Speaker 3: Feeling sympathetic, she agreed to let him read her fortune
- 11:27Speaker 3: for the new year. The man used a deck of cards,
- 11:30Speaker 3: but warned Pim that she would soon face bad luck,
- 11:33Speaker 3: including a loss of a very valuable item. Even offered
- 11:37Speaker 3: to protect her from this fate for a fee. Pim
- 11:40Speaker 3: declined and went away in saw and went intoside the
- 11:45Speaker 3: temple there to pray. A short time later, she realized
- 11:49Speaker 3: her iPhone that she'd placed beside her had vanished. Remembering
- 11:52Speaker 3: the fortune teller's ominous warnings, she rushed back to confront him.
- 11:56Speaker 3: He denied everything, claim the theft simply confirmed his prediction.
- 12:00Speaker 3: He is a fortune teller after all, even described what
- 12:04Speaker 3: he said the thief looked like. But Pim wasn't buying it.
- 12:07Speaker 3: She called enough commotion that bystanders stepped into help. They
- 12:11Speaker 3: searched the fortune teller's belongings, found her phone. Pim called
- 12:16Speaker 3: the police, presumably with her phone, and had him arrested.
- 12:23Speaker 3: Well done, Pim, way to see through all that. A
- 12:27Speaker 3: Pennsylvania woman who was arrested last spring after she walked
- 12:29Speaker 3: into a convenience.
- 12:30Speaker 2: Store and.
- 12:34Speaker 3: Sorry if you're eating your cheerios, defecated inside a walk
- 12:36Speaker 3: in beer fridge. We covered this story back then, has
- 12:40Speaker 3: now reached a plea deal to stay out of jail.
- 12:42Speaker 3: Crystal because she doesn't like people to watch.
- 12:44Speaker 2: Or use the bathroom.
- 12:46Speaker 3: You know they do that when you're in jail. Crystal Goss,
- 12:49Speaker 3: who happens to work as the director of food nutrition
- 12:52Speaker 3: at a school district, was caught by a store employee
- 12:57Speaker 3: saw her walk into the beer cave, pushed some cases aside,
- 13:00Speaker 3: and then relieve herself on a shelf. The disgusting act
- 13:06Speaker 3: was captured on the store's surveillance camera. Gass appeared in
- 13:09Speaker 3: court last week accepted a plea deal of the charge
- 13:11Speaker 3: of disorderly conduct creating a hazardous physically offensive condition. She
- 13:17Speaker 3: was fined a whopping seventy five dollars in order to
- 13:20Speaker 3: pay eighty dollars in restitution to the store.
- 13:22Speaker 2: She's also barred from returning to the store.
- 13:25Speaker 3: She's still working at a school. I think that's a question,
- 13:29Speaker 3: isn't it. Sorry for the school district, she's not specifically
- 13:32Speaker 3: in the school. Well, that's different, the whole different deal there,
- 13:36Speaker 3: isn't it? All right? Let's jump down to Florida. A
- 13:40Speaker 3: truck crash over the weekend erupted into a horrific scene
- 13:43Speaker 3: of fire and lettuce. A semi truck rolled over on
- 13:46Speaker 3: I ninety five near Saint Augustine spilled its entire load
- 13:50Speaker 3: of lettuce, but also spilled a lot of diesel fuel,
- 13:53Speaker 3: and the truck burst into flames. Traffic was shut down
- 13:56Speaker 3: for several hours as Hasmat Cruz cleaned up the fuel
- 13:59Speaker 3: spin and thousands of heads of lettuce. Unclear if the
- 14:03Speaker 3: driver or anyone else was hurt. It's a scene man burning,
- 14:12Speaker 3: flaming lettuce. Music store in Morristown, Tennessee, is cleaning up
- 14:17Speaker 3: a pretty big mess after assessing its losses because of
- 14:22Speaker 3: a runaway monkey that broke into the store and damaged
- 14:27Speaker 3: several instruments. Police got a call around eight in the
- 14:30Speaker 3: morning reporting that a small cinnamon colored monkey capucin monkey
- 14:38Speaker 3: was darting around the Trade Center music shop. By the
- 14:42Speaker 3: time animal control arrived, a quick moving primate had already
- 14:45Speaker 3: fled the scene. Officers spent the day tracking the monkey
- 14:49Speaker 3: and finally managed to capture it safely after a night
- 14:52Speaker 3: in a different location. Did Dustin Hoffman and Cuba Gooding
- 14:55Speaker 3: Junior help I don't know, but they could have.
- 14:58Speaker 2: We're not moving.
- 15:00Speaker 3: A licensed primate keeper later told investigators the monkey may
- 15:03Speaker 3: have been stolen from a farm in Alabama before ending
- 15:07Speaker 3: up in Morristown. Police say they're looking into the claim
- 15:10Speaker 3: as part of the ongoing investigation.
- 15:16Speaker 2: Outbreak was a good movie?
- 15:17Speaker 1: Was it?

- 19:00Speaker 3: destroyed and he's suing a restaurant in Sicily. The forty
- 19:06Speaker 3: two year old man told his wife he was going
- 19:09Speaker 3: out on a business dinner, but in reality he was
- 19:12Speaker 3: meeting another woman at this particular restaurant.
- 19:16Speaker 2: He might have gotten away with.
- 19:17Speaker 3: It maybe, had it not been for the fact that
- 19:21Speaker 3: the restaurant took a video of the dining room while
- 19:23Speaker 3: he was there and used the footage in a promotional
- 19:26Speaker 3: video posted on TikTok. The man's wife happened to see
- 19:31Speaker 3: the video spotted her husband dining with another woman. She
- 19:33Speaker 3: ultimately left her husband kicked him out of the house.
- 19:36Speaker 3: The husband is suing the owner of the restaurant for
- 19:39Speaker 3: using the video of him without his consent. He is
- 19:41Speaker 3: being represented by a consumer protection group and they think
- 19:46Speaker 3: it's a clear case of invasion of privacy. I mean,
- 19:53Speaker 3: if you're at a Coldplay concert in Italy, maybe you
- 19:58Speaker 3: could do that.
- 20:00Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 20:01Speaker 3: Oceana Cruises is the latest cruise line to offer adults
- 20:05Speaker 3: only cruising starting this week. In fact, new bookings on
- 20:09Speaker 3: Oceana will only be for guests eighteen and older. Chief
- 20:12Speaker 3: Commercial Officer Nathan Hickman said the move came after feedback
- 20:18Speaker 3: from passengers, who said one of the reasons that they
- 20:23Speaker 3: love Oceana is their ability to travel with like minded adults.
- 20:29Speaker 2: So I can.
- 20:31Speaker 3: See where there would be family cruises, and I can
- 20:34Speaker 3: see where there would be getting away from the kids cruises.
- 20:39Speaker 2: I get that.
- 20:40Speaker 3: Or maybe you just don't have kids and you don't
- 20:42Speaker 3: want to put up with kids on a cruise, and
- 20:45Speaker 3: maybe you'd like to go down the water slide or
- 20:48Speaker 3: sit in the hot tub without having kids doing cannonballs
- 20:52Speaker 3: in there. I don't know. It's their company. They can
- 20:55Speaker 3: do what they want to do with it. I can
- 20:57Speaker 3: see pros and cons.
- 20:59Speaker 2: Of this as a thing.
- 21:01Speaker 3: So is there something that you often misplace or lose?
- 21:06Speaker 2: Yes.
- 21:07Speaker 3: A new survey found that the average person misplaces at
- 21:10Speaker 3: least three physical items a month, and twenty seven percent
- 21:13Speaker 3: spend between twenty minutes to an hour looking for them.
- 21:17Speaker 3: They're always the last place you look, too, because if
- 21:20Speaker 3: you kept looking after you would be a psychopath.
- 21:24Speaker 2: Think about it.
- 21:25Speaker 3: That's the dumbest expression we have. It's always the last
- 21:28Speaker 3: place you look. Yeah, if it was the first place
- 21:32Speaker 3: and not the last place, and you found it, you
- 21:35Speaker 3: would definitely have some issues if you kept looking. That
- 21:38Speaker 3: would be a problem. So not technically a psychopath.
- 21:43Speaker 2: I know that.
- 21:43Speaker 3: I'm just saying you'd be crazy, that's all. So what
- 21:46Speaker 3: are we misplacing the most? The TV remote? You ever
- 21:49Speaker 3: put it in the refrigerator? Yes, Glasses and sunglasses, receipts.
- 21:55Speaker 2: Yes.
- 21:56Speaker 3: I don't wear glasses enough to misplace some. Sunglass is
- 22:01Speaker 3: typically when I'm driving, and I guess I have misplaced those.
- 22:05Speaker 3: But house keys, sure, especially when you leave them in
- 22:08Speaker 3: the door. Getting one of those locks, by the way
- 22:10Speaker 3: that you just punch in a combination that makes a
- 22:12Speaker 3: big difference, or you put your thumb on it, or
- 22:15Speaker 3: just your proximity to it with your phone. All those
- 22:18Speaker 3: things make a big difference. Phone, yes, all the time. Earbuds, headphones, yes,
- 22:25Speaker 3: paperwork of course. Car keys, They're attached to my house keys,
- 22:29Speaker 3: so yes. Chargers not so much. We typically leave our
- 22:34Speaker 3: chargers put, although we do have the portable ones, so
- 22:38Speaker 3: we misplace those quite a bit.
- 22:40Speaker 2: Debit credit cards absolutely not.
- 22:42Speaker 3: I know where those are at all times. I would
- 22:45Speaker 3: have to lose my wallet and I guess, technically, if
- 22:49Speaker 3: I've just misplaced my wallet somewhere in the house, but
- 22:51Speaker 3: it does typically have its place where it belongs, So anyway,
- 22:55Speaker 3: I guess you're not common. A lot of people lose things,
- 22:58Speaker 3: and a lot of people waste a lot of time
- 23:00Speaker 3: looking for those things. So, yes, you ever feel like
- 23:06Speaker 3: your feeds getting longer, you're not imagining it. With videos
- 23:12Speaker 3: on social media that are starting to come in with
- 23:16Speaker 3: more and more time sixty seconds plus for TikTok, forty
- 23:21Speaker 3: three percent more reach sixty four percent will have more
- 23:25Speaker 3: watch time for them. Instagram testing reels up to ten minutes. Meanwhile,
- 23:31Speaker 3: YouTube going full on binge mode, fifty seven percent of
- 23:34Speaker 3: watch time now comes from videos twenty plus minutes, even
- 23:39Speaker 3: x letting premium users upload four hour epic videos. The
- 23:45Speaker 3: shift says that the algorithms are craving watch time, creators
- 23:48Speaker 3: want better payouts, audiences are cool with deeper dives. So
- 23:52Speaker 3: in short, short form isn't so short anymore. So if
- 23:58Speaker 3: you're posting, don't be afraid to stretch, which those extra
- 24:00Speaker 3: seconds might just boost your views. Just as an observation,
- 24:04Speaker 3: and I'm certainly not a psychologist by any means, but
- 24:11Speaker 3: I do think that the really short videos are having
- 24:14Speaker 3: an effect on a lot of people's attention span, so
- 24:17Speaker 3: I think this could be a good thing. Although if
- 24:21Speaker 3: we're just losing people into the phones for longer periods
- 24:24Speaker 3: of time, that might also be a problem.
- 24:27Speaker 2: I can't tell you that I.
- 24:30Speaker 3: Would definitely never watch a twenty minute video on Instagram,
- 24:35Speaker 3: but probably not.
- 24:38Speaker 2: That's not the content that I'm looking for.
- 24:40Speaker 3: I'm looking for something that's short, quick, easy, a punchline.
- 24:43Speaker 3: Maybe I share it with somebody. By the way, if
- 24:45Speaker 3: I share a video with you, it's not an obligation
- 24:48Speaker 3: to watch something.
- 24:49Speaker 2: It's just to let you know.
- 24:50Speaker 3: I thought you think would think this is funny, amusing, relevant,
- 24:54Speaker 3: and I was thinking of you, trying to think of it.
- 24:56Speaker 2: In those terms. When somebody sends you something, that'll do it.
