Speaker 2: that immediately they get kissing up to him. And at
9:42
Speaker 2: some point you're going to run into an officer who
9:44
Speaker 2: is at the end of his day, and I don't
9:47
Speaker 2: know I hand him one of your stolen Natty lights.
9:50
Speaker 2: He's it's earned sixteen twenty ninety four five WTA W
9:55
Speaker 2: quick check at the text messages because remember, we love
9:59
Speaker 2: hearing from you. Seven sixteen twenty can call us to
10:02
Speaker 2: Sam textan if you're low enough in life to shop
10:07
Speaker 2: lift Natty light, is the good stuff?
10:10
Speaker 1: Sam, agree to disagree because the only reason you're drinking
10:14
Speaker 1: the Natty light right is because that's what you can afford.
10:18
Speaker 2: It's a If you're a college student and you're looking
10:20
Speaker 2: for quantity right right, I've either.
10:23
Speaker 3: Heard a more real statement in my life.
10:25
Speaker 2: You're looking for quantity Natty light. Will that'll get you
10:29
Speaker 2: that check that box again many a time, not gonna
10:32
Speaker 2: shade Natty.
10:33
Speaker 1: Many a time driving from Washingtal Baptist University to Hot
10:38
Speaker 1: Springs to ship and shot liquor right on the other
10:41
Speaker 1: side of the county line.
10:42
Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
10:42
Speaker 1: And and you would get the Natty light because that's
10:44
Speaker 1: what you could afford. And then you'd put it in
10:47
Speaker 1: back of the truck and hope that it was quote
10:50
Speaker 1: road cold by the time you got it home, because
10:51
Speaker 1: you couldn't afford a cooler.
10:52
Speaker 2: Now I get what Sam's saying, because a Natty Light
10:55
Speaker 2: is also not what I would consider a poverty beer.
10:59
Speaker 1: No, it's right on the edge.
11:01
Speaker 3: They also came out with these things called natter days,
11:04
Speaker 3: and they're like a strawberry lemonade.
11:07
Speaker 2: I think I've heard of it. Really beer, Someone someone
11:12
Speaker 2: it's not beer. Someone out there invented the natter day
11:18
Speaker 2: and he's like a billionaire now, like he he saved
11:22
Speaker 2: Natty Light with the natur Days. The ladies love him,
11:27
Speaker 2: The bros love them like it's it's they have sold.
11:30
Speaker 2: They have sold. So many of these has flown under
11:33
Speaker 2: the radar unless you're in college, because that's I see
11:37
Speaker 2: those things everywhere. But I'll say this, if Natty Light
11:42
Speaker 2: is the good stuff, then I you know, man, again,
11:46
Speaker 2: this is America. Shoot your shot, dream big. At least
11:50
Speaker 2: go for a couple of cases of like Miller Highlights,

14:30
Speaker 2: this season.
14:31
Speaker 3: So right now starting this year? You know, I don't
14:35
Speaker 3: think you're here. When I first said my goal is
14:36
Speaker 3: to read two books a month for the whole year,
14:39
Speaker 3: like I wanted to read a total of twenty four
14:40
Speaker 3: book is this.
14:41
Speaker 2: In the wheelhouse of what you normally do?
14:45
Speaker 3: Normally I read way way more, but I do read
14:50
Speaker 3: more than two books a month. Right now, I'm on
14:53
Speaker 3: four and I'm only the.
14:55
Speaker 2: How long have you been like this? So?
14:58
Speaker 3: When I was younger, I did not like to read because,
15:01
Speaker 3: as many of you know, I'm dyslexic. Yeah, and then
15:03
Speaker 3: as time's going on. I've learned how to read better
15:06
Speaker 3: and better and better. And then it wasn't until about
15:09
Speaker 3: twenty twenty four though, when I first came here to

Speaker 2: How many books do you read a month right now?
15:34
Speaker 1: None? Yeah, same, none, And I wish I had the time.
15:37
Speaker 1: My biggest problem with reading is that I am so
15:41
Speaker 1: focused on on reading that when I get disrupted, I
15:45
Speaker 1: get angry. And there is no point in my life
15:49
Speaker 1: where disruption is not a part of it.

Speaker 3: So I'm one of those people. I will do a
16:04
Speaker 3: little bit of both if I've already read the book.
16:06
Speaker 3: For instance, like there's a new series that's coming out,
16:10
Speaker 3: not a new series, there's the new books coming out
16:12
Speaker 3: in October and it's a part of the Court and
16:13
Speaker 3: Thorns the Roses series.
16:15
Speaker 2: Right, which is your jam?
16:16
Speaker 6: Yes.
16:17
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I've been in between all this kind of
16:20
Speaker 3: rereading by listening to it on audio to kind of
16:23
Speaker 3: pick up on details that I don't really remember from
16:25
Speaker 3: the books. But on top of that, like I do
16:27
Speaker 3: that when I'm doing chores around the house because I
16:29
Speaker 3: really like to sit there and try and read books.
16:31
Speaker 1: That's wild.
16:32
Speaker 3: But right now I'm like in this book club with
16:34
Speaker 3: a bunch of my friends and they read everything you
16:37
Speaker 3: can think of.
16:38
Speaker 2: Do the other girls in your friend group? Do they
16:43
Speaker 2: all read that much?
16:44
Speaker 3: Yes?
16:45
Speaker 2: Everyone is clocking in at two in a two to
16:49
Speaker 2: three to four book a month ratio. Yes, no, what
16:54
Speaker 2: on earth?
16:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd love to have that kind of time.
17:00
Speaker 3: We all select books though that we want to read,
17:02
Speaker 3: and then we all kind of like, all right, so
17:03
Speaker 3: for instance, there's like four or five of us, Yeah,
17:05
Speaker 3: all have one book whereon's like, all right, this is
17:07
Speaker 3: the book you all have to read because that's when
17:09
Speaker 3: I want you to read this year. I don't care
17:11
Speaker 3: when you read it, but you have to read it.
17:13
Speaker 3: And then on top of that, we'll read like one
17:14
Speaker 3: book a month where we kind of all fall along
17:16
Speaker 3: as we know what's going on.
17:17
Speaker 2: Where if I reading's back, that you're back, I love it.
17:24
Speaker 3: I prefer reading over anything else.
17:26
Speaker 2: Say nine seven nine six nine, sixteen twenty the best
17:29
Speaker 2: I can the best I can give you, Riley, is
17:31
Speaker 2: like one audio book a month while I'm driving around,
17:33
Speaker 2: and I feel like I was I before we started
17:36
Speaker 2: this conversation. I honestly felt like I was on the
17:40
Speaker 2: higher end of six books this year. That's with my
17:47
Speaker 2: audio books. Riley's out here reading a library. All of
17:50
Speaker 2: our friends are too. How many books have you okay,
17:54
Speaker 2: so far? What are we eight months in in the year?
17:57
Speaker 2: How many books have you read? Do not be a
18:00
Speaker 2: shamed if that number of zero, Yeah, do not shamed
18:03
Speaker 2: if that number is zero. This is just to gauge
18:07
Speaker 2: all of the audience. How many books have you read
18:12
Speaker 2: this year? And I will include audio books for the
18:14
Speaker 2: purposes of this, because audiobooks okay, all right? So audio
18:18
Speaker 2: books or regular books? How many have made it? Think
18:21

23:34
Speaker 1: More news throughout the day or anytime at WTAW dot com.
23:38
Speaker 1: I'm will Welch sixteen twenty ninety four to five WTAW.
23:43
Speaker 2: Sixteen twenty ninety four five WTAW, Good morning everyone, we're
23:47
Speaker 2: the infomaniacs. Look, I'm gonna say this. I don't think
23:55
Speaker 2: it's a stretch to say this is by far the
23:57
Speaker 2: smartest radio audience you will find us expect the listening area.
24:01
Speaker 2: It just is. And so keep that in mind. You
24:05
Speaker 2: guys are the tippy tip top of intellect here in
24:11
Speaker 2: the listening audience. Now, we asked a question that had
24:14
Speaker 2: to do with the fact that Riley reads how many
24:16
Speaker 2: books a month?
24:17
Speaker 3: Two?
24:18
Speaker 2: Two right now? But her average is something like.
24:23
Speaker 3: Recently Soka in April and May it is probably about
24:26
Speaker 3: four or five books between those two months, and then
24:29
Speaker 3: this month is about between July and now, it's been
24:33
Speaker 3: about six in total. Because whenever I had my surgeries
24:38
Speaker 3: and I was healing, my dad was in charge of
24:40
Speaker 3: the TV.
24:40
Speaker 2: Exactly, So you had a lot of time on your
24:42
Speaker 2: hands and not a lot to do because Dad's watching
24:46
Speaker 2: ESPN or something all day or whatever, random movies, random movies.
24:50
Speaker 1: So I was reading I'm betting on Westerns, was watching
24:53
Speaker 1: westerns like a western man. There, yeah, there we go.
24:57
Speaker 2: So we asked, how many books have you read this
25:01
Speaker 2: year so far?
25:02
Speaker 1: Eight year, eight months?
25:04
Speaker 2: How many of you gotten through and we are counting
25:05
Speaker 2: audio books for the purposes of this, just to try
25:08
Speaker 2: to see where we all stack up, because that sounded
25:10
Speaker 2: shockingly height. I felt good about like five or six
25:13
Speaker 2: audio books. I felt really good about that. It's having
25:15
Speaker 2: a great reading year, dude, that's a great reading month. Apparently.
25:19
Speaker 1: Apparently, what do we have? Sam says, including audio books
25:21
Speaker 1: eight to ten. John says seven books, Chris audio books
25:27
Speaker 1: ten plus all right, Robert says two audio books.
25:33
Speaker 2: Unbelievable.
25:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, eighteen, Jason eighteen books so far this year.
25:38
Speaker 2: Eighteen books so far this year, Fredricks and then yeah's insane.
25:45
Speaker 2: I've only listened to one audio book, although it was
25:48
Speaker 2: the best one I've ever heard, The Cross and Switch
25:50
Speaker 2: lad Blade by David Wilkerson. Okay, get your plug in.
25:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I started. I wanted to get into the
25:56
Speaker 1: audio books, especially for the trip, but we ended up
25:59
Speaker 1: I ended up listening to some true crime podcast to
26:02
Speaker 1: try to, you know, engage my wife podcast.
26:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like it's it's always a choice between that
26:09
Speaker 2: and audio books, and usually I land on the podcast,
26:11
Speaker 2: which is kind of it's not the same thing.
26:13
Speaker 3: Podcaster.
26:14
Speaker 2: Well, of course you're not books.
26:17
Speaker 1: An you didn't got time for that. I used. The
26:19
Speaker 1: only time in the last decade that I've really had
26:22
Speaker 1: time to read is typically like when we go on
26:24
Speaker 1: a cruise, which doesn't happen every year, thank god.
26:28
Speaker 6: Uh.
26:29
Speaker 1: I of course get up earlier than everybody else, so
26:31
Speaker 1: I would sit out on the balcony and read a book.
26:34
Speaker 1: And typically I love reading books about like hurricanes and
26:37
Speaker 1: shipwrecks and stuff while I'm on the water. But that's
26:41
Speaker 1: the only time I've had to read.
26:43
Speaker 3: The reason why I read so much. And this is
26:45
Speaker 3: nothing against TV shows, movies, things like that. There's some
26:49
Speaker 3: great things out there, but I'm one. I'm a very
26:51
Speaker 3: visual person and whenever I like I read a book,
26:53
Speaker 3: if you're a very good world builder, scenes setting kind
27:00
Speaker 3: of kind of person, where you can build a world
27:02
Speaker 3: in front of me and I can imagine what we're building.
27:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's all.
27:07
Speaker 3: Nothing can compare to a book. I'm sorry. Even there's
27:11
Speaker 3: even people that are like, oh, well, we're going to
27:12
Speaker 3: remake this movie into this book into a movie. I'm like,
27:15
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, no matter what you say or do, nothing
27:20
Speaker 3: will compare to what was created within the theater of
27:24
Speaker 3: the mind.
27:25
Speaker 6: Ye.
27:26
Speaker 3: And I'm also I'm like, I'm one of those people
27:27
Speaker 3: where when I get an mental image of what I
27:31
Speaker 3: think a character looks like, I'm sorry, you cannot convince
27:34
Speaker 3: me otherwise when you create a movie saying well, this
27:37
Speaker 3: is what I want them to look like. Or you
27:39
Speaker 3: know when some when a director takes over a movie, well,
27:42
Speaker 3: we're gonna create change this character bipolar opposit and make
27:45
Speaker 3: them something completely different than what they were. I'm sorry.
27:47
Speaker 3: That's I don't care if you you cannot. I get
27:52
Speaker 3: so irritated in aspects of certain things where directors of
27:56
Speaker 3: a TV show or movie will change something that's written
27:58
Speaker 3: because they want it to They just want to do
28:01
Speaker 3: something different.
28:01
Speaker 1: I'm like, they got to put their mark on it.
28:03
Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, I don't. And I also hate when they
28:06
Speaker 3: take a scene and change it to something completely different.
28:09
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, that's not what the scene was about. You
28:12
Speaker 3: just read constructed it to what you wanted it to
28:14
Speaker 3: be because you thought it would add more pizzazz, but
28:17
Speaker 3: actually you just took away from the actual meaning.
28:21
Speaker 1: I wish I wish we could find something that Riley
28:24
Speaker 1: was passionate about. No, I get it same sort of thing.
28:30
Speaker 1: I read one of the last big book series that
28:33
Speaker 1: I read was Ken Follett and it was The Pillars
28:35
Speaker 1: of the Earth, and like three books in that series,
28:39
Speaker 1: and they're all miles thick.
28:41
Speaker 2: You know, just huge books a minute.
28:43
Speaker 1: But just like you're talking about the mental imagery that
28:48
Speaker 1: he helps me to paint in my head, those things
28:51
Speaker 1: are better than any movie could possibly be.
28:54
Speaker 2: Text message, Do medical pamphlets count? Yeah, it's a book.
29:02
Speaker 2: I'll take it. Charlie. We drove to northwest Wyoming in May,
29:07
Speaker 2: so this is a little bit skewed. Nineteen audio books, Okay,
29:13
Speaker 2: Jason read eighteen books so far this year. That's crazy tea,
29:20
Speaker 2: But it doesn't hold a candle to Teresa, who is
29:23
Speaker 2: at forty nine and halfway through her fiftieth book. Yes,
29:29
Speaker 2: I love to read. I say so.
29:33
Speaker 1: Fifty because she'll finish that one. So eight months into
29:36
Speaker 1: the year and she's read fifty books.
29:37
Speaker 2: Marcus texted in something I hadn't read book in forty years.
29:40
Speaker 2: My father reads five books at one time. He's ninety
29:42
Speaker 2: one years old. See, my grandfather was the same way.
29:45
Speaker 2: He would just constantly have two or three books that
29:50
Speaker 2: he was working his way.
29:51
Speaker 1: I can't time. I can't do that because I'm so
29:56
Speaker 1: focused on the story story again, it goes back to
29:59
Speaker 1: the inner eruption thing. I cannot be disrupted in that.
30:03
Speaker 1: In fact, there was some texture here earlier that said
30:06
Speaker 1: something along the lines of Will looks like he turns
30:09
Speaker 1: green and gets swollen whenever he gets interrupted well reading, Yeah,
30:13
Speaker 1: that's absolutely right. I will hulk out if you are
30:16
Speaker 1: interrupting me while I'm trying to trying to read a book.
30:19
Speaker 2: This one is from Bradley. My strongest book recommendation is
30:23
Speaker 2: a bit Old now twenty fourteen. I am Pilgrim by
30:25
Speaker 2: Terry Hayes Best.
30:27
Speaker 3: I was looking at this. I love thriller, so I'm
30:29
Speaker 3: actually getting into from fantasy. I'm kind of looking into
30:31
Speaker 3: more thriller athletes of books. And when I saw that
30:33
Speaker 3: it's all my I put it on my two nice.
30:38
Speaker 1: Nice to say.
30:39
Speaker 2: It's the best espionage type thriller I have read in many,
30:42
Speaker 2: many years. I would say, everyone here again, this has
30:45
Speaker 2: got to be a very well read audience.
30:47
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? Yeah? I mean it's not like
30:49
Speaker 1: we didn't expect this. I well known that the WTAW
30:54
Speaker 1: listenership is far and away more intelligent than any other
30:57
Speaker 1: audience out there of any program whatsoever.
30:59
Speaker 2: But even with that, like there's like three or four
31:02
Speaker 2: outliers and here they again are are are reaching some
31:05
Speaker 2: fairly insane numbers.
31:07
Speaker 1: World record number.
31:08
Speaker 2: Riley is also hit that group bonkers.
31:12
Speaker 4: Again.
31:12
Speaker 2: I want to emphasize this, she says, all of her
31:16
Speaker 2: friends read the same amount. They're young people.
31:19
Speaker 1: That's great.
31:21
Speaker 2: Reading is coming back, y'all.
31:23
Speaker 1: It's fundamental.
31:24
Speaker 2: Not all is not lost.
31:26
Speaker 3: It's just one of those things of for instance, when
31:29
Speaker 3: we go to track meets and you don't have any
31:31
Speaker 3: service or anything, we would sit there and I'll read
31:34
Speaker 3: because I'm one of those people when it when I
31:36
Speaker 3: would get anti attrack meets. So I'll give a little
31:39
Speaker 3: insight of how it was when I was an athlete,
31:40
Speaker 3: I would get nervous. I'm one of those people that
31:42
Speaker 3: when I get into something, I am anticipating, anticipating, and
31:45
Speaker 3: until I took my first jump at the first bar,
31:48
Speaker 3: I thought I was gonna throw.
31:49
Speaker 2: You're an anxious wreck. I buy that escape.
31:53
Speaker 1: That's what it gets you.
31:53
Speaker 2: It gets your mind onto something else. Unbelievable.
31:56
Speaker 3: Yes, So that's what I would do, is I would
31:58
Speaker 3: have to read something to just get my mind away
32:00
Speaker 3: away from whatever the heck is about to go on,
32:02
Speaker 3: and I still do it this day, like when I'm
32:03
Speaker 3: about to go when I when I first started the
32:06
Speaker 3: show and I was so nervous to get on the mic,
32:08
Speaker 3: I would read right before I'd be like, all right,
32:10
Speaker 3: I'm okay, I'm good to go, let's go.
32:13
Speaker 1: I get it. It's a comment that very cool. Correct
32:17

32:20
Speaker 2: The wtawly good morning with the infimating accidents of ninety six, nine, five,
32:24
Speaker 2: sixteen twenty. Were you watching any TV this weekend?
32:29
Speaker 4: Uh?
32:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, I watched a little TV, especially like uh, Mandy,
32:34
Speaker 1: my wife spent the night. She had a girls night
32:37
Speaker 1: and they all stayed. All the moms stayed in the
32:39
Speaker 1: house with the girls when they moved in. So I
32:41
Speaker 1: was by myself on Saturday night. Uh, and got back
32:44
Speaker 1: to the hotel about eight thirty or so turned on
32:46
Speaker 1: the TV to see what was on. I was shocked.
32:50
Speaker 1: I had no idea that it was the time frame
32:53
Speaker 1: currently of the OAT shows.
32:55
Speaker 2: Oh, it was O show weekend.
32:56
Speaker 1: That's where ESPN News goes to the Oho. And if
33:00
Speaker 1: you don't know what the Oho is.
33:01
Speaker 2: It wasn't just ESPN News, it was all of them,
33:05
Speaker 2: we're doing the Oho. Yeah, she's confused.
33:07
Speaker 1: You ever seen the od go watch Dodgeball an underdog story, And.
33:11
Speaker 2: In the movie Dodgeball, they made a reference to the
33:15
Speaker 2: fact that, you know time, ESPN had ESPN, ESPN two,
33:18
Speaker 2: ESPNS three, ESPN all of them, but Dodgeball was shown
33:21
Speaker 2: on ESPN eight.
33:22
Speaker 1: They called it the O Show and it was funny.
33:25
Speaker 2: I'll had to laugh about that.
33:28
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Oho Spanish for eight.
33:30
Speaker 2: So then then people really liked it. About a decade ago,
33:36
Speaker 2: they realized that sports face is a problem that Riley
33:39
Speaker 2: is very aware of, and that is the mythical dead
33:42
Speaker 2: zone in between the All Star break and the beginning
33:45
Speaker 2: of football. Nothing happens during the It's like a two
33:50
Speaker 2: week window and literally nothing happens. So they said, why
33:54
Speaker 2: don't we just start covering weird sports and call it
33:57
Speaker 2: the O Show?
33:58
Speaker 1: And they did so. I'm flipped on the TV and
34:01
Speaker 1: I was shocked and amazed that I was watching two
34:04
Speaker 1: grown men in a boxing ring for the World Pillow
34:09
Speaker 1: Fighting Championships. No pillow fighting.
34:13
Speaker 2: I missed this.
34:14
Speaker 1: You didn't miss much.
34:17
Speaker 2: Was there a knockout?
34:18
Speaker 1: No, dang it, there were no knockouts, and it was
34:21
Speaker 1: it was incredibly boring, but I watched like a match
34:26
Speaker 1: and a half. Then I went and did some some research.
34:29
Speaker 1: Some of the other events featured during the seventy five
34:33
Speaker 1: hours of a continuous program.
34:34
Speaker 2: You're going to get to the one that I watched.
34:36
Speaker 2: I was just I was transfixed.
34:38
Speaker 1: Slippery stairs, no contestants, clad and padding, battle, gravity and
34:43
Speaker 1: thick slime, to scale a highly lubricated oversized staircase.
34:47
Speaker 2: That's just doubledare Yeah, that's just double day.
34:50
Speaker 1: That's it. They had banana ball on their course.
34:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's that doesn't count.
34:55
Speaker 1: The Issa Housekeeping Games, a newly debuted event testing the
35:01
Speaker 1: elite speed and skill of hotel housekeepers making beds and
35:06
Speaker 1: vacuuming under strict timeline.

Speaker 2: House Keepers World Championship.
35:11
Speaker 4: Driving Chess Chess while you're on the behind the wheel,
35:16
Speaker 4: I'm sorry. Diving Chess water chess, mind and lung boggling
35:21
Speaker 4: event where chess is played underwater at the bottom of
35:23
Speaker 4: a pool. You can only think about your move for
35:25
Speaker 4: as long as you can hold your breath.
35:27
Speaker 2: Makes sense, Okay, so it's kind of self timed. It's
35:30
Speaker 2: an interesting wrinkle.
35:31
Speaker 1: There's the animal racing, which is where you're like the
35:34
Speaker 1: t rex suits and the sort of thing that's.
35:37
Speaker 2: The one so have I never heard of any of
35:39
Speaker 2: them because it's made it up minute, But so I
35:43
Speaker 2: watched t rex racing and I was I was Actually
35:46
Speaker 2: it was on in a restaurant. I was eating dinner.

Speaker 2: I look up, I'm like what I saw the Oh
35:51
Speaker 2: it's o Cho weekend. So I'm checking this out. So Riley,
35:54
Speaker 2: they would get everybody in the inflatable t rexes. This
35:58
Speaker 2: was at a race track, and then they would let
36:02
Speaker 2: him go and first person to get one hundred yards
36:06
Speaker 2: one hundred meters down the way wins. It was packed
36:09
Speaker 2: the whole stadium. It is a horse racing facility. It's packed,
36:14
Speaker 2: and I'm like, why would there be so many people?
36:17
Speaker 1: I realized a horse racing facility are three quarters a
36:21
Speaker 1: mile or they just tried to marked them off. You
36:26
Speaker 1: would have dead scattered all over it.
36:29
Speaker 2: But it made him go the full Belmont. If it
36:31
Speaker 2: was me, yeah, I want to see him suffer. But
36:34
Speaker 2: they had to have been gambling on this. Oh you know,
36:37
Speaker 2: they had to have been taking action all going on.
36:41
Speaker 2: It had to have and it's lovely. I want to see.
36:45
Speaker 2: I'd have been into that. Right after that next event
36:49
Speaker 2: was the Corgi racing, similar thing, another horse track that
36:54
Speaker 2: was filled to capacity with people watching. This action had
37:00
Speaker 2: be because of the gambling. Had They never once showed
37:03
Speaker 2: any odds on screen? Come on, man, and again, that's
37:07
Speaker 2: why you needed the O show. That's why you need

37:14
Speaker 2: these weeks. Forget forget watching it on TV. Do any
37:18

37:29
Speaker 2: just fased on the discussions.
37:30
Speaker 3: I mad I want to go to one of these in.
37:32
Speaker 1: Personally, I just watching the fact that these people would
37:35
Speaker 1: travel from across the globe to have a pillow fight.
37:42
Speaker 1: Was trying to explain it to the wife and I
37:44
Speaker 1: was like, it was incredibly boring, and she was like,
