- 25:57difference.
- 25:58When
- 25:58you're
- 25:58just

- 26:07you
- 26:07should
- 26:08be
- 26:08connecting
- 26:08with.
- 26:08But
- 26:09this
- 26:09case,
- 26:09it
- 26:09was
- 26:09completely
- 26:10different.
- 26:10So
- 26:10it
- 26:10was
- 26:11really
- 26:11interesting,
- 26:11just
- 26:12from
- 26:12a.
- 26:12Just
- 26:13from
- 26:13a
- 26:13story
- 26:13perspective,
- 26:14how
- 26:14you
- 26:14could.
- 26:16But
- 26:16I
- 26:16think
- 26:17we
- 26:17have
- 26:17a.
- 26:17We
- 26:17have
- 26:17a.
- 26:18We.
- 26:18We
- 26:18have.
- 26:18It's
- 26:18like.
- 26:19It's

- 26:20of,
- 26:20like,
- 26:20take

- 26:24You
- 26:24can't
- 26:25just
- 26:25forget
- 26:25about
- 26:25them.
- 26:26So
- 26:26everything
- 26:27that
- 26:27Gav
- 26:27has
- 26:28set
- 26:28in
- 26:28stone,
- 26:28and
- 26:29Aoife,
- 26:30it's

- 26:42listen
- 26:42to
- 26:42them.
- 26:43So
