They're in there 120 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 3: familiar set in of their home. And then the next 121 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 3: thing that happens is they of course moved to MKR 122 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 3: HQ's so it's a bit more daunting when you're cooking 123 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 3: in and unfamiliar kitchen.
