00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,200

10
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:28,479
Speaker 2: new food venue that's just opened up in Queensland. Here's

11
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:30,880

12
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:32,240

Speaker 1: It's Chip and Mix in Nuso, which just opened.

14
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,879
Speaker 3: Apparently they're calling it a world first and it's basically the.

15
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 2: Hot chips of yo Chi, so like it's loaded hot

16
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 2: chips and you go in and you like add your

Speaker 2: own topics. I mean, a self serve hot chip bar

18
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 2: that is bloody a genius. If you want to know

Speaker 2: you can read that in an article online right now.

00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 2: Another pretty interesting story is from our sports team. Here's

22
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 2: what Joey, the editor said in our meeting. This is

23
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 2: great video moment of this and five in Europe somewhere

24
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 2: where the guy wins and such humping his opponent.

25
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: Yes, you heard that right, he started humping his opponent.

26
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:07,759
Speaker 2: Now, if you want to see that video, all you're

27
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 2: going to do is go to news dot Comma dot au.

28
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 2: Do not, under any circumstances do what I did and

29
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 2: simply google humping in the ring video.

30
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 1: My eyes are still scarred.

31
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 2: As I mentioned earlier, the final episode of season three

32
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 2: of The White Loaders came out on Binge yesterday. I'm

33
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 2: not going to reveal what happened, so if you haven't

34
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 2: watched it, don't freak out. If you want to get

35
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 2: a full review and see all the reaction, you can

36
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 2: go to news dot comment dot au. But the episode

37
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 2: got me thinking about TV finales. I mean, over the years,

38
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 2: that have been a handful of finales that have made

39
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 2: headlines for all the wrong reasons. Some had unexpected twists,

40
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 2: some didn't make sense, some were just downright lane. So

41
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 2: in this episode of from the Newsroom, we're going to

42
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 2: take a look at the most controversial finales of all time.

43
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 2: Joining me in the studio now is news dot com

44
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 2: dot I use entertainment editor Nick Bond.

45
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: Welcome Nick, Thanks Bucky.

46
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 2: Together we are going to run through some of the

47
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 2: most controversial TV finales of all time, starting with one

48
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 2: from nineteen ninety seven.

49
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: Nick, take it away.

50
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 4: Okay, Now, this is Roseanne, the sitcom that was about

51
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 4: a working class family called the Connors. It followed them

52
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 4: as they juggled jobs, relationships, and a lot of financial difficulties.

53
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:14,119
Speaker 1: Yeah.

54
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 2: I actually really liked Rosanne, obviously starring Roseanne Barr, who

55
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 2: I think has been canceled, but anyway.

56
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 4: She has been canceled, yes, comprehensively. Now, in the final

57
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 4: ninth season of the show, it all went a bit weird.

58
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 4: The Connors won the lottery. They won I think like

59
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 4: one hundred million dollars, and that whole final season was

60
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 4: just bizarre. It was like nothing that the show had

61
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 4: done before. They were living extravagantly, they were flying first class,

62
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 4: she was wearing fur coats. It was the weirdest season

63
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 4: of television you've ever seen. But then finally in the finale,

64
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 4: in the last couple of minutes of the finale, in

65
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 4: a voiceover, Roseanne revealed that the entire season had been

66
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 4: a dream, a dream, and it was her way of

67
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 4: coping because her husband Dan had died from a heart

68
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 4: attack at the start of the season. The end, Bye everyone,

69
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 4: Thanks fans.

70
00:02:58,120 --> 00:02:59,959
Speaker 1: Let's have a listen to some of that monologue.

71
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 5: My writing's really what got me through the last year

72
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 5: after Dan died. I mean, at first, I felt so betrayed,

73
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 5: as if he had left me for another woman. When

74
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 5: you're a blue collar woman and your husband dies, it

75
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 5: takes away your whole sense of security. So I began

76
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 5: writing about having all the money in the world, and

77
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 5: I imagine myself going to spas and swanky New York parties,

78
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,119
Speaker 5: just like the people on TV, where nobody has any

79
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 5: real problems and everything solved within thirty minutes.

80
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 4: And then, of course the show did come back for

81
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 4: a reboot and Dan was alive.

82
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 2: It's a miracle, isleight Leah. What did the critics think

83
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 2: of that finale?

84
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 4: Well, Time magazine called it off the rails loopy, which

85
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 4: is also a great description of Roseanne bar herself.

86
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 2: Let's move on to another controversial TV finale. This one

87
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 2: pains me because you know that I love Seinfeld.

88
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: It's basically a whole personality, it really is.

89
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 2: It's one of the funniest TV shows ever made in

90
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 2: my opinion, But the finale didn't really live up to

91
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 2: the hype. So the show ran for nine seasons and

92
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 2: it finished in nine ten ninety eight. Now, if you

93
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 2: can't recall what happened, I assume that's you because you've

94
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 2: never seen it, really, have you?

95
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 3: No?

96
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: I love I love Seinfeld? Really yes? How dare you

97
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: what it still matter about me? Blankly?

98
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 2: Then when I do little Seinfeld quotes, well, I'd just

99
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 2: like to mess with you, okay. Well, for those who

100
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 2: haven't seen the finale, Jerry, Lane, Kramer, and George were

101
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 2: sentenced to a year in prison in the finale after

102
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 2: breaking a small town's Good Samaritan law after they witnessed

103
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 2: an overweight man being robbed but did nothing to help.

104
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 1: You know what, well, I think it was the money

105
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: for the light ball.

106
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 2: See the great thing about Rabin and fat guys, it's

107
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 2: an easy getaway.

108
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 1: You know, they can't really chase you. It's actually doing

109
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: on my favor, it slows money from the way food.

110
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 2: There's been so much discussion about this finale ever since.

111
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 2: Some say it's good, some say it's not good. The

112
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 2: critics at the time not very impressed. They called it

113
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 2: a terrible letdown, and another said it was off key

114
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 2: and bloated, which is how I feel after Indian food.

115
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 4: Do you know one of my favorite things about this

116
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 4: is I'm a big curb your enthus heasm fan, which

117
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 4: is by Larry David, the creative Seinfeld. That show finished

118
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 4: about a year ago now, and for that finale, he

119
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 4: basically redid the Seinfeld finale completely, like it was him

120
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 4: back in court getting arrested for all these sorts of things.

121
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 4: He's just like, yeah, you didn't like the finale, Well,

122
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,039
Speaker 4: here it is again iconic.

123
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: Let's move on to another controversial TV finale. What do

124
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: he got for us?

125
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 4: Look, this isn't exactly one of the most remembered TV

126
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 4: shows of all time, but it was big in the

127
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 4: Bond household in the early nineties. It was called Dinosaurs.

128
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:29,359
Speaker 4: It wasn't really a cartoon. It was kind of like

129
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 4: live action puppets of these dinosaurs. It was a real,

130
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 4: kind of goofy kids comedy with this family of lovable dinosaurs,

131
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 4: a real sweet family show that then took a real

132
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 4: turn in the final episode, right there was a looming

133
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 4: ice age which threatened to wipe out the whole dinosaur race,

134
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 4: and indeed it did. The final moments of the whole

135
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 4: thing was just basically the family freezing to death.

136
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 1: You've got some audio here for us.

137
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 2: Apparently this is the final scene where they tell the

138
00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 2: baby dinosaur that they're doomed.

139
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 4: When it happened to you as.

140
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 5: Well, I don't exactly know, but whatever it is, nobody's

141
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:14,359
Speaker 5: gonna leave you.

142
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 4: That's right, little guy.

143
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 1: We'll all stay together. Yeah, yeah, And hey, I'm sure

144
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: it'll all work out. Okay, After all, Dinosaurs has been

145
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 1: on the serve for one hundred and fifty million years,

146
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: and that's not like we're going to just disappear now.

147
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 4: Reviews called it an absolute gut punch, the most depressing

148
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 4: end to any show ever, and by father's saddest ending

149
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 4: to any kids show I've ever seen.

150
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 2: Maybe I'll go back and watch that finale. It sounds

151
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 2: quite fun, all right. More controversial TV finale is coming

00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: I didn't even know she was in it. Was she

160
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 1: playing herself? I think, So I don't know. I'll have

161
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: to check that one.

162
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 2: Okay, So this has landed on our list because the

163
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 2: finale was just a bit bizarre. So the premise of

164
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 2: the whole show is there was a character called Ted

165
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 2: Moseby who, in the year twenty thirty is explaining to

166
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 2: his kids how he met their mother. So for nine seasons,

167
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 2: the viewers aren't really sure who the mother is. He

168
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 2: basically spends each episode telling his kids' stories from his life,

169
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 2: and it was all leading up to that moment in

170
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:43,239
Speaker 2: the finale where he revealed who the mother was and how.

171
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: He met her.

172
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 2: Right cut to twenty fourteen, the finale airs, Yes, we

173
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 2: find out who the mom was. She was a woman

174
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 2: called Tracy, and then it's revealed that Tracy had actually

175
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 2: been dead for six years?

176
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 1: Is she kids?

177
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 3: Right from the moment I met your mom, I knew

178
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 3: I have to love this woman as much as I

179
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 3: can for as long as I can, and I can

180
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 3: never stop loving her, not even for a second. I

181
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 3: carried that lesson with me through every stupid fight we

182
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 3: ever had, every five am Christmas morning, every sleepy Sunday afternoon,

183
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 3: through every speed bump, every pang of jealousy or boredom

184
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 3: or uncertainty that came our way, I carried that lesson

185
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 3: with me, and I carried it with me when she

186
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 3: got sick. Even then, in what can only be called

187
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 3: the worst of times, all I could do was thank God,

188
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 3: Thank every God there is, or ever was, or will

189
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 3: be in the whole universe, and anyone else I could

190
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 3: possibly think.

191
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 2: Rolling Stone summed it up best, they said, after nine

192
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,959
Speaker 2: years of asking the audience to care about the identity

193
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 2: of the woman in the damn title, the sudden about

194
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 2: face wasn't just jarring, it was enraging.

195
00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 1: How did she die, looming ice age think.

196
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 2: They explained. They just said she was sick, and then

197
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 2: all of a sudden she was dead. She was probably

198
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 2: dead of disappointment. Anyway, Nick, you've got another one for us.

199
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 1: Yes, Now, remember the medical drama House was really into House.

200
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 4: Okay, great, it starred Hugh Laurie as a cynical medical genius.

201
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 4: Now it ran for eight seasons and the finale was

202
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 4: a bit of a shocker. I'll summarize what happened. House

203
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 4: was facing jail time after being involved in a prank

204
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 4: that went wrong. Now before House could face trial, though,

205
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 4: he died in a fire a lot of weird deaths

206
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 4: in the final There was a tearful funeral before it

207
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 4: was eventually revealed that House had faked his death to

208
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 4: escape jail time and so that he could spend some

209
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 4: quality time with his mate Wilson, who was dying from cancer.

210
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 4: This is the moment that Wilson confronts House after learning

211
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 4: that he's still alive.

212
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 3: How and get out of the back of the building.

213
00:09:53,160 --> 00:10:05,199
Speaker 1: The body just switched to natal records. You're destroying your

214
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: entire life.

215
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 3: You can't go back from this.

216
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: You'll go to jail for years. You can never be

217
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: a doctor again. I'm dead, Wilson, and you want to

218
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: spend your last five months.

219
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 4: Some viewers love the unexpected twist, but others were pretty angry,

220
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,439
Speaker 4: with one describing it as an incredibly lame series finale.

221
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 2: There are some other controversial TV finale's worth mentioning sopranos.

222
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 1: For example, I was never really into that with you, No,

223
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 1: not really.

224
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, it ended on a scene where the main character,

225
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 2: Tony Soprano, may or may not have been killed. They

226
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 2: kind of left it up to the audience to figure

227
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 2: out what happened. A lot of people pissed off about

228
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 2: that lost that TV show.

229
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, I watched that, and then once they were polar

230
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 4: Bears running around in the island, I kind of tapped out,

231
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 4: I've got to be honest.

232
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 1: You hate Polar Bears. Yeah.

233
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 2: It kind of ended by suggesting that the slash sideways

234
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,199
Speaker 2: timeline in the show was a spiritual afterlife with the

235
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 2: characters reunited and moved on together, having all died at

236
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 2: different times.

237
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:07,679
Speaker 1: Yes, makes sense.

238
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, way above my head. The X Files. I think

239
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 2: we were both a fan of these.

240
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 4: I was a massive fan of The X Files in

241
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 4: the nineties, and there was so much work in that

242
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 4: show built into like all of these mysteries, conspiracies, government conspiracies,

243
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 4: who is the Smoking Man?

244
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: Are aliens real? All this?

245
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 4: And you know in the finaleses do you know what

246
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 4: they revealed?

247
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: No?

248
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 4: Absolutely nothing. Oh I did not reveal an answer to

249
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 4: any of those questions. So I was pretty annoyed.

250
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: Well, Nick, this has been fun. Should we go back

251
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 1: to work now? No? No, I watch the.
