  Speaker 1: any of our weekly uploads. Okay, let's get into today's stories.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Just before midnight on August twentieth, twenty twelve, a nineteen
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: year old college student named rosemar and her best friend,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: nineteen year old Elizabeth Nass, walk down Main Street in
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: their hometown of Ellicott City, Maryland. It was their last
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: night together before they each would head back to college
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: in separate states, and so to cap off what had
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: felt like a perfect summer, they decided to grab a
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: few beers despite being underage, and head on over to
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: their favorite hangout spot, a train trestle that ran over
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Main Street. A train trestle is literally a bridge, but
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: for trains. Now, to be clear, this train trestle was
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: not like some secret Daredevil hideout spot. Lots of people
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: knew about it. Lots of kids in town, you know,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: including Rose and Elizabeth, had been up here many many times.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: And while there was an active train track that ran
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: across it, the ledge on the trestle where everybody would
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: sit when they were up there was several feet away
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: from the tracks, kind of safely out.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Of the way.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: You could be up there looking down over the town
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: and a train could literally pass right by you and
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: not affect you, so overall it was safe. So Elizabeth
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: and Rose climbed up onto the train trestle and took
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: their seats along the ledge, safely away from the tracks,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: and then they cracked open a few beers and began
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: talking about their upcoming semesters.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: They talked about which classes.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: They were going to take, and what they were looking
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: forward to, and really how much they were going to
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: miss each other. And then at some point Rose pulled
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: out her phone and she took a photo of her
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: and Elizabeth's feet dangling off the trestle. Basically, the photo
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: captured their feet kind of hovering over Main Street, then
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: she posted that photo to Twitter, and then as soon
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: as she hit post, she and Elizabeth heard this loud
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: screeching sound coming from right behind them. When they turned
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: around to see what it was, something huge smashed into
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: them and then it went black. That loud screeching sound
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: was the sound of a train passing by right behind them.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: But remember the tracks are set far enough back that
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: the train it couldn't hit them, and in this case,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: the train was not the thing that hit these two girls. Instead,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: it was something truly unfortunate that happened to them. When
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: that train passed by the girls, it partially derailed, not
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: a full scale like cars going everywhere off the tracks,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: but instead several of these cars basically toppled over to
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: their sides. And some of those cars that toppled over
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: were carrying thousands of pounds of coal, and these were
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: open cars. You can literally see the coal as the
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: train goes by, and so as the train's going by,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: those cars topple, all this coal comes out, and the
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: coal smashed into Rose and Elizabeth and.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Fully buried them.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: It was like they were under an avalanche, but not
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: of snow, of coal. And so by the time the
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: girls were pulled out of the coal they were already dead.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Rose and Elizabeth were the only two fatalities from this derailment.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Their families would later sue the railroad company alleging negligence,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: and each family would receive a settlement, though the exact
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: amounts were never disclosed. Thank you to Betterhelp for sponsoring
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: today's video. June is Men's Mental Health Awareness Month, and
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: so in honor of that, I wanted to share a
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: quick story about my own mental health. So back in
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, I got out of the military after several years,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: and I really went through a sort of identity crisis.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: So much of who I was was wrapped.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Up in being a Navy seal, but now that I
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: was out on the other side, it was like I
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: didn't know who I was anymore, and I didn't even
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: know what job to get or really what to do
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: with my life. And it was sort of like this
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: existential crisis that really sent me into a very dark
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: and depressing spiral. But instead of seeking help or telling
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: anybody about it, I began sort of lashing out at
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: family and friends and just kind of being a downer
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: everywhere I went. It wasn't until my family and friends
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: because they loved me, stepped in and said, you really
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: need to see someone that I finally understood the impact
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: I was having on other people and how bad things
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: had gotten for me. And so I did go out
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: and I spoke to a therapist, And at first I
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: admit I wasn't sold that this was going to be
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: a big solution for me, but pretty quickly, having that
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: neutral third party to kind of bounce ideas off of
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: and gain perspective from, really changed my life, and it
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: set me on a course to where I'm happy today.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: I still see a therapist, but it's therapy.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: That got me to this place right now, this equilibrium
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: I have reached, it's because of therapy. So if you're
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: struggling right now, I would highly suggest thinking about therapy
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: as an option, and a great starting point for therapy
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: is better help, primarily because it's entirely online, so it's
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: very easy. It's accessible. You know, all you have to
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: do is fill out a quick survey online and then
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: within two days they'll pair you up with a licensed therapist.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: And if for any reason you want to change your therapist,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: you can do that at any time at no additional cost.

• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Okay, back to the stories.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: At six pm on October twenty seventh, twenty fourteen, a
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: seventeen year old boy named Jesus Manessas was playing basketball
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: with a group of friends on an outdoor basketball court
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: at Kinlock Park in Miami, Florida. The friends had broken
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: up and two teams and were in the middle of
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: a very intense pickup game, and the game was pretty close,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: and Jesus's team was doing pretty well. But at some point,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: when Jesus and his team had possession, one of his
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: teammates just got frazzled by the defense and just took
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: this crazy three point shot from way behind the line,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: and the ball just sailed right past the hoop, completely
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: missed it airball, and it bounced and then went clean
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: over this chain link fence on the edge of the park.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: And as soon as this happened, Jesus and all of
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: his friends led out a collective groan, because they knew
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: basically anything that went over that fence was pretty much
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: gone forever.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: But to Jesus's surprise, one of his friends.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Turned to Jesus and was like, hey, why don't you
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: just hop the fence and go get the ball. Now,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Jesus really did not want to do that. I mean,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: he had been coming to this park since he was
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: like one years old with his family, and his mom
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: and dad had always told him to never ever climb
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: that fence.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Never.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: But now Jesus's friend who had asked him to do this,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: had kind of like turned it into a dare, and
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: he's like, no, come on, Hazus, like go go hop
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: the fence and get the ball. And the other friends
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: had kind of picked up on this and they were
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: kind of egging it on, being like yeay, Zeus, go
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: over there, get the ball. And so Hazus knew, like,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: this is not a good idea. I cannot go over
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: that fence. But here I am surrounded by all my
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: peers basically egging me on to go do it, and
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: he didn't want to look weak or scared, and so
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: he's thinking to himself, you know, hey, what's the worst
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: that could happen, and he's like, all right, I'll go
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: get it. And so Hazus left the basketball court and
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: walked over to this fence and it was about seven
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: feet tall and there was all this barbed wire across
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: the top of it. And so as he's standing there
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: looking at the fence, he turns back around and his
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: friends are all smiling like, yeah, go get it, and
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: so he's like, okay, and he begins climbing the fence
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: and he gets to the top and he reaches the
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: barb wire and he very carefully positions himself so he
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: doesn't cut himself on the way over. And right after
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: he's cleared the barb wire, he kind of tumbles to
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: the other side of the fence. He hits the ground,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: and he's kind of shaken up from hitting the ground
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: pretty hard, but you know.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: He stands up, dusts himself off.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: He really he's okay, and he turns and looks through
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: the fence now at his friends and they're all cheering
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: him on. And so now Jesus is feeling really confident
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: and he kind of smiles at his friends like he's
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: the hero now. And he turns and sure enough, there's
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: the basketball just a few feet away.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: So he walks over, picks up.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: The basketball, and chucks it over the fence back to
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: his friends. And Jesus was about to climb over the
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: fence and go rejoin his friends when he happened to
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: look back in the direction of where his basketball had been,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: and he noticed there was another basketball that somebody else
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: had lost over this fence, except this basketball was on
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: the other side of a second fence. Basically, once you
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: climb this first fence, a couple of feet later there
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: is a second fence. These were the two fences that
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Jesus and everybody who ever came to this park were
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: warned about never climbed them. But Hazus has already climbed
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: the first one, and he's got his basketball, and he's thinking,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: I can climb the second one too, and I can
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: get that basketball, and then we'll have too, so if
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: we ever lose another one, we have a backup. So,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: without even telling his friends, Jesus walks over to the
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: second fence, which is basically identical to the first fence,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: about seven feet tall, a bunch of barbed wire at
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: the top, and he carefully climbs to the top and
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: he kind of positions himself over the barbed wire, and
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: then he drops down to the other side, except this time,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: when he hits the ground after clearing that second fence,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: something horrible happens. Within seconds of Jesus landing inside of
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: that second fenced in area, his friends back on the
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: court saw what was going on and began totally panicking.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: They're screaming, they're running around, they don't know what to do.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Eventually one of them would call nine to one one,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: and then minutes later, first responders show up and they
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: find Jesus's friends. They're totally frantic. They're all pointing toward
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: the fenced in areas, and the first responders they look
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: and they know right away there's virtually nothing they can
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: do to say Jesus. The reason these fences were totally
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: off limits, the reason Jesus's family specifically warned him from
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: when he was a young kid to never ever climb
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: them because inside of the second fenced in area was
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: an electrical power grid, and there were signs all over
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: these two fences warning people to stay back, that it
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: was dangerous no trespassing, like fatalities will occur if you
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: go in here. But Hazus ignored the warnings and he
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: climbed the first fence, and he climbed the second fence,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: except when he landed inside of that second fenced in area,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: he landed on a live electrical wire, and the second
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: he did, five hundred thousand volts of electricity coursed through
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: his body. For reference, the average lightning bolt contains about
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: three hundred thousand volts of electricity. So as soon as
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Hazu's hit that wire, it was like the equivalent of
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: two lightning bolts striking him at once, but not just
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: one time, over and over and over again, and so unfortunately,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Jesus died almost immediately. On the afternoon of April twenty second,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, a forty nine year old father of
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: three named Carl O'Keefe crawled through a cave.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: System in Cumbria, England.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: He was on his hands and knees, shuffling his way forward,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: and the only light that guided him through this tight,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: small tunnel was the headlamp on his head. So Carl
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: was an adventurer. He loved things like rock climbing and
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: exploring caves, but this particular cave he wasn't that familiar with.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: He'd only been here a couple other times, and he
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: didn't have a map, so really he didn't actually know
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: where he was going. But Carl wasn't remotely worried because
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: he knew this was easily the safest cave system he
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: had ever explored. In fact, this place was so safe
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: that often people showed up with their kids and let
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: them run around freely with no fear they were going
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: to get hurt.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: And so Carl has no worries here.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: And also he's thinking to himself, you know, he's not
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: very far into this particular tunnel, he can actually still
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: hear the other people and their kids kind of right
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: behind him him. And so again, even though he doesn't
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: really know where he is, he feels completely fine. And
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: so Carl continued crawling through this tunnel, and eventually he
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: reached this t intersection where he just had to choose
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: between going right and left. And again he's got no map,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: he doesn't really know where he's going, so he decides, okay,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: I'll just go right, and so he begins going down
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: this tunnel, which closely resembled the tunnel he had just
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: came from. But as he was crawling along, he started
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: to feel like the walls around him were kind of
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: shrinking and it was getting harder and harder to push
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: his body through this tunnel. And then finally, when it
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: felt like it was so tight around him and it
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: was getting so claustrophobic that maybe he should just turn around,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: he reached a dead end.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: That's all this was.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: The right turn was just a dead end, and so
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: he thought, okay, I'll just turn around and go back
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: the way I came and you know, maybe explore the
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: left side. So in order to do that, Carl decided
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: he would make a U turn with his body. He
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: would literally just turn around and go back the way
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: he came, leading with his head and his upper body.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: And so he's facing the dead end.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: He's on his hands and knees, and he begins doing
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: this U turn and he kind of turns and gets
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: his head and his shoulders and his upper half kind
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: of folded around until they're looking back in the direction
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: he was coming. But he was too physically big to
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: get his lower half to complete the U turn, and
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: so he was effectively wedged in this U shaped position.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: He couldn't do anything. He was just stuck.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: But carledon't panic because he knows this is a safe place.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: This is not a big deal. Nobody gets hurt in
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: these cave systems, and I just need to rethink how
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: I go back the way I came. Clearly, this U
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: turn attempt is not working, and so he decides, Okay,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: let's reset. I'll pull my shoulders and my upper body
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: back and I'll reset facing the dead end. I'll basically
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: go back to exactly the position I was just in.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Except when he tried pulling his upper body and his
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: head and his shoulders back to where he was facing
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: the dead end, he realized he was also stuck going
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: in that direction. He couldn't go back to the way
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: he was, and he couldn't return in the direction he
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: had come. He was stuck in this U shape and
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: couldn't go anywhere. Now Again, Carl is telling himself that
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be okay. This is a safe place. Kids
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: play here, like this is no big deal. I'm gonna
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: be okay. And so we tried, you know, to kind
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: of shimmy himself one way or the other, but it
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: was like no matter what he did, he just could
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: not move out of this U shape and as that happened,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: he began to kind of panic. His heart rate began
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: to rise, it became harder to breathe. It felt like
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: the walls of this cave were kind of pushing down
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: on him, and before long he was becoming overwhelmingly claustrophobic.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: It just felt like the walls of this.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: Tunnel were crushing him, and he really began to panic,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: and he just started screaming out for help. Immediately, some
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: of the staff who heard Carl yelling out made their
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: way into this tunnel system and actually saw Carl. They
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: could see him in this U shape, totally wedged, and
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: at first they couldn't understand what was even happening here,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: But when they tried to pull him out, they couldn't
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: get him to move. I mean, he really was totally
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: stuck here. And so sensing that this was a true emergency,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: the staff backed out and they called the fire department,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: and the fire department they came out, and they too
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: could not get Carl out.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: He was stuck.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: And so pretty quickly Carl realized all he could do
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: here was just do his best to stay calm, because
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: this position he was in was really restricting his breathing,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: not to mention, you know, the tunnel itself is pressing
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: down on him, and so he just tried to stay
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: calm and kind of have measured breaths, and he kept thinking,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: you know, the rescue team, they're right there.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: They're gonna get me out of here quickly, I know it.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: But much too Carl's shock, and to the shock of
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: all the first responders, they didn't get Carl out quickly. Instead,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: it would take an agonizing four hours to finally free him.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: And during those four hours, Carl got weaker and weaker
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: and weaker and more and more panicked. The instant Carl
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: was out of the tunnel, he was rushed to the
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: nearest hospital and admitted to the intensive care unit, and
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: there they would discover he had suffered all these extensive
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: crush injuries from being in that position for so long.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: He had severe bone damage, organ damage, and nerve damage.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, he was in horrible shape. And despite heroic
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: efforts by medical staff to try to save Carl, ultimately
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: he would die eight days later from those injuries, and
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: his death would become massive news because it really seemed
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: impossible that somebody could die in that cave system because
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: it was meant to be so safe. This cave system
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: was not like an underground cave system where spilunkers go. No,
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: this was a cave system for kids. It was a
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: kid's playplace. All the tunnels and the cave itself was
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: made out of plastic again, so kids could crawl and explore.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: But adults were told they too could go through those
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: tunnels with their kids. And so Carl had gone to
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: a birthday party for one of his kids friends. He
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: had brought his kids along, and being the devoted father
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: that he was, he went right in there with his
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: kids and was crawling all around and goofing around with
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: the kids until unfortunately he got stuck. In case you
