I do.

1:48

It's uh yeah.

1:51

That is that's pretty good.

1:58

Oh wow.

2:00

Yeah, yeah, you don't have to be like you'll be quiet, yeah, yeah, yeah.

2:04

Yeah.

2:05

Oh, sorry, it owes your time.

2:08

Yeah, yeah.

2:09

Let's see.

2:10

I have two minutes and twenty-five seconds to get out the uh what I need to say.

2:17

So let me um just find my papers real quick.

2:20

Um sorry.

2:25

So uh I don't know.

2:32

Um when we got here, uh we went up to the observation deck and got the microwave encoder that we haven't used for years.

2:43

Um so that's not in y'all's racks anymore.

2:46

That's one less thing you have to deal with.

2:49

Uh I'll bring that back to our engineer Dale Williams.

2:55

I think he he worked here a lot um before.

2:59

Um he'll do some kind of mad scientist thing with that.

3:05

I'm not really sure what he wants to do.

3:08

Uh and uh I'm gonna walk talk about TV shows alike.

3:14

Uh I started watching um uh Widow's Bay.

3:20

Uh that show is awesome.

3:22

It's like a horror comedy uh show.

3:26

I I think like it's either Apple TV or Paramount makes it um and it's got like uh it's got the voice actor that played uh Bill and King of the Hill in it.

3:41

He's like the he's like the crazy crazy old like uh fisherman that knows all the supernatural stuff in the town.

4:00

Uh my um my fiance uh loves watching uh ninety day fiance.

4:16

Oh man.

4:38

Yeah.

4:49

I think if you press your button, does it turn back?

4:52

Yeah.

4:53

I I don't think that would be like uh unless you got like a problematic regular, I don't think I'm pretty sure you could still turn it back on.

5:00

I don't think I'm pretty sure you could still turn it back on.

5:06

Yes.

5:07

Yeah.

5:07

Yeah.

5:08

Um only see like a problematic regular doing that.

5:14

Um, and we could also just turn the level of that all the way down.

5:20

But that that that might be the solution.

5:22

Yeah.

5:26

Sure.

5:26

Yeah.

5:27

Maybe maybe show that up to the other side.

5:28

Yeah, yeah.

5:30

Yeah.

5:30

I'm never leaving.

5:31

Y'all will listen into my grossly list, and it's the last thing I do.

5:35

Uh Kale, ice cream.

5:41

What are you doing?

5:42

Oh.

5:43

Maybe that's not a you can hit the settings on here.

6:02

Okay.

6:06

6:10

Yeah, like a little.

6:11

Yeah.

6:12
