Three seasons are out. It was out 31 00:01:33,154 --> 00:01:35,714 Speaker 1: on ABC, but now it's been out on Netflix. 32 00:01:35,794 --> 00:01:37,554 Speaker 3: And actually, how the rest of the world see. 33 00:01:37,634 --> 00:01:39,394 Speaker 1: The rest of the world knows it. Aaron Sheenn is 34 00:01:39,434 --> 00:01:41,594 Speaker 1: so funny in it, but he started off as a 35 00:01:41,594 --> 00:01:44,994 Speaker 1: stand up comedian. I watched him a few years back 36 00:01:45,034 --> 00:01:48,114 Speaker 1: now in Newtown when he was living in the Inner West, 37 00:01:48,154 --> 00:01:51,594 Speaker 1: and now he lives in New York, which is where 38 00:01:51,634 --> 00:01:54,434 Speaker 1: the Netflix special was filmed. Now that he's moved to 39 00:01:54,474 --> 00:01:57,154 Speaker 1: New York, he's like massive in the States, Like I've 40 00:01:57,154 --> 00:01:59,154 Speaker 1: seen him in so many little like TikTok videos, like 41 00:01:59,154 --> 00:02:01,554 Speaker 1: he was on subway takes. He has also been touring 42 00:02:01,554 --> 00:02:04,874 Speaker 1: with Ali Wong, who has also an amazing Netflix special. 43 00:02:05,074 --> 00:02:05,994 Speaker 1: Everyone should watch it. 44 00:02:06,034 --> 00:02:07,754 Speaker 2: I wasn't say what a gateway if you haven't seen 45 00:02:07,794 --> 00:02:09,274 Speaker 2: Ali Wong to then go and watch that. 46 00:02:09,434 --> 00:02:11,234 Speaker 1: Oh my god, if you get to see both Aaron 47 00:02:11,314 --> 00:02:14,113 Speaker 1: Chan and Ali Wang together, you've lucked out of life. 48 00:02:13,874 --> 00:02:15,674 Speaker 3: But also their Netflix specials, because I think she is 49 00:02:15,674 --> 00:02:16,194 Speaker 3: a few now. 50 00:02:16,354 --> 00:02:21,994 Speaker 1: Yeah, she's so so funny. It is so bloody funny 51 00:02:22,034 --> 00:02:23,874 Speaker 1: to the point where I was actually getting mad at 52 00:02:23,874 --> 00:02:25,674 Speaker 1: the audience because I do think it's a big risk 53 00:02:25,754 --> 00:02:30,154 Speaker 1: for our local comedians to travel overseas and perform overseas 54 00:02:30,194 --> 00:02:34,914 Speaker 1: because you don't realize how much humor isn't like cross cultural. 55 00:02:35,674 --> 00:02:39,354 Speaker 1: And I feel like stand up American comedians are so 56 00:02:39,394 --> 00:02:42,914 Speaker 1: different to stand up Australian comedians, and Australian comedy is 57 00:02:42,994 --> 00:02:46,353 Speaker 1: like my forte. Like I love our local comedians. I 58 00:02:46,394 --> 00:02:49,354 Speaker 1: find them so funny and vice versa. I feel like 59 00:02:49,354 --> 00:02:51,674 Speaker 1: when sometimes on Icy an American comedian, it just doesn't 60 00:02:51,674 --> 00:02:52,714 Speaker 1: translate as well from. 61 00:02:52,634 --> 00:02:55,754 Speaker 2: The Australian humor, Like nothing hits like it and nothing. Also, 62 00:02:55,834 --> 00:02:57,714 Speaker 2: I love that you kind of like knew him before 63 00:02:57,794 --> 00:02:59,194 Speaker 2: you blew up, which is so fun. 64 00:02:59,434 --> 00:02:59,913 Speaker 3: And that's why. 65 00:03:00,074 --> 00:03:02,874 Speaker 2: Like there's places in like Sydney and other places, but 66 00:03:02,994 --> 00:03:04,834 Speaker 2: in Sydney where like the Comedy Store where you can 67 00:03:04,874 --> 00:03:07,314 Speaker 2: go and like watch all these new comedians like tryt 68 00:03:07,354 --> 00:03:09,234 Speaker 2: material and then you see them blow up later on. 69 00:03:09,274 --> 00:03:09,874 Speaker 3: And I love that. 70 00:03:10,234 --> 00:03:12,513 Speaker 2: The Comedy Store sent out in April Fool's Day text 71 00:03:12,554 --> 00:03:14,794 Speaker 2: saying they were closing and I and they're like, sorry, 72 00:03:14,794 --> 00:03:16,874 Speaker 2: we're closing, and at the bottom it said ha April 73 00:03:16,874 --> 00:03:17,834 Speaker 2: Fool's tickets on sale. 74 00:03:17,834 --> 00:03:20,114 Speaker 3: But I didn't read down those guys. I was like 75 00:03:20,274 --> 00:03:23,074 Speaker 3: crying for like a day, and then I was like, no, 76 00:03:23,234 --> 00:03:23,874 Speaker 3: we need it. 77 00:03:24,234 --> 00:03:26,474 Speaker 1: They were probably like, this is our day to be funny. 78 00:03:26,474 --> 00:03:28,754 Speaker 1: I know, to be funny. Who would have thought to 79 00:03:28,754 --> 00:03:31,594 Speaker 1: scroll down? Not me. Comedy Store is really good. I 80 00:03:31,594 --> 00:03:35,954 Speaker 1: even recommend just like any local comedians, like go watch them, yeah, 81 00:03:35,954 --> 00:03:38,194 Speaker 1: because we have some really great talent because. 82 00:03:37,954 --> 00:03:40,754 Speaker 2: Even little towns have stand up nights and things like that. 83 00:03:41,034 --> 00:03:41,474 Speaker 3: So good. 84 00:03:41,554 --> 00:03:44,754 Speaker 1: But Aaron Chen's Netflix special like I had tears streaming. 85 00:03:45,234 --> 00:03:47,954 Speaker 1: Really he's so funny. He has like a shtick which 86 00:03:48,034 --> 00:03:51,434 Speaker 1: is like really awkward, like timed jokes and it's just 87 00:03:51,834 --> 00:03:55,634 Speaker 1: cuts through so well. He's really clever about it. And 88 00:03:55,674 --> 00:03:58,194 Speaker 1: he did like in his comedy special mention Fisk and 89 00:03:58,234 --> 00:04:00,554 Speaker 1: how he said before he was on Fisk, his like 90 00:04:00,954 --> 00:04:04,634 Speaker 1: age demographic was like twenty nine to thirty five year 91 00:04:04,634 --> 00:04:07,074 Speaker 1: old men, and he was like, that's the worst demographic. 92 00:04:07,234 --> 00:04:08,634 Speaker 1: They're all in cells. 93 00:04:08,714 --> 00:04:09,474 Speaker 3: That is the worst. 94 00:04:10,154 --> 00:04:12,554 Speaker 1: Top And then when he like started fist kiss, demographic 95 00:04:12,674 --> 00:04:15,914 Speaker 1: change to like women above forty yeah, and he's like, 96 00:04:15,994 --> 00:04:20,034 Speaker 1: I love those girls, like my favorite. It's just really 97 00:04:20,074 --> 00:04:23,394 Speaker 1: really funny, and it's so important to like keep supporting 98 00:04:23,594 --> 00:04:27,034 Speaker 1: our local talent when they go overseas because that audience 99 00:04:27,073 --> 00:04:29,393 Speaker 1: in like, I don't know, it's so different hearing a 100 00:04:29,433 --> 00:04:32,474 Speaker 1: Netflix special when you're watching it on screen versus being there. 101 00:04:32,513 --> 00:04:34,354 Speaker 1: I feel like when you're there you feel the vibe 102 00:04:34,393 --> 00:04:36,354 Speaker 1: of the room more. But from watching it, I feel 103 00:04:36,354 --> 00:04:38,714 Speaker 1: like the audience weren't giving him as much as like 104 00:04:38,914 --> 00:04:40,034 Speaker 1: the people at home were giving. 105 00:04:40,073 --> 00:04:42,154 Speaker 2: Hey, that is wild to me because I've watched the 106 00:04:42,154 --> 00:04:44,433 Speaker 2: comedy special, but I've seen like him do stuff on 107 00:04:44,474 --> 00:04:46,674 Speaker 2: stage before, and so it's wild to me for two reasons. 108 00:04:46,714 --> 00:04:49,314 Speaker 2: One is that he is so funny, and two with 109 00:04:49,433 --> 00:04:52,513 Speaker 2: filming a comedy special, especially a Netflix special, like it's 110 00:04:52,553 --> 00:04:54,833 Speaker 2: such a kind of machine of like they film it 111 00:04:54,873 --> 00:04:57,553 Speaker 2: twice so you've got like the best version of it. Also, 112 00:04:57,594 --> 00:05:00,273 Speaker 2: the audience knows what they're there for, so they're primed, 113 00:05:00,313 --> 00:05:02,354 Speaker 2: but also they have like audience people that are like 114 00:05:02,633 --> 00:05:05,354 Speaker 2: pumping the audience up and clap here and laugh here 115 00:05:05,474 --> 00:05:07,633 Speaker 2: and all that sort of stuff. So it just seems 116 00:05:07,674 --> 00:05:09,514 Speaker 2: to me crazy that they would be low energy and 117 00:05:09,594 --> 00:05:11,034 Speaker 2: not like getting into the joke. 118 00:05:11,113 --> 00:05:14,113 Speaker 1: I think it's just like American people. I mean, most 119 00:05:14,113 --> 00:05:16,674 Speaker 1: of his audience would have been like tourists from a staff, 120 00:05:16,674 --> 00:05:19,313 Speaker 1: we love him. But like just from watching him in 121 00:05:19,433 --> 00:05:22,714 Speaker 1: Newtown where like it was all local people watching him, 122 00:05:22,993 --> 00:05:25,074 Speaker 1: the crowd was so loud. Yeah, but I don't know 123 00:05:25,113 --> 00:05:27,514 Speaker 1: if that's just because they like mute the crowd when 124 00:05:27,513 --> 00:05:28,714 Speaker 1: you're watching it on screen. 125 00:05:28,873 --> 00:05:29,914 Speaker 3: So I mean. 126 00:05:29,794 --> 00:05:32,273 Speaker 2: Obviously that they would sometimes well they can't really mute 127 00:05:32,274 --> 00:05:34,674 Speaker 2: the crowd because it's being recorded live in the room. Yeah, 128 00:05:34,714 --> 00:05:37,113 Speaker 2: I'm sure they can, like maybe like the laughing and 129 00:05:37,154 --> 00:05:39,234 Speaker 2: something doesn't translate. But the thing is, like you want them. 130 00:05:39,274 --> 00:05:42,833 Speaker 2: It's like old school like sitcom TV like Friends and stuff, 131 00:05:42,834 --> 00:05:44,634 Speaker 2: where you'd be filming on the stage and if the 132 00:05:44,714 --> 00:05:46,794 Speaker 2: laughter from the audience wasn't enough, they would have to 133 00:05:46,794 --> 00:05:50,274 Speaker 2: put in canned laughter, like pre recorded laughter, because they 134 00:05:50,313 --> 00:05:53,714 Speaker 2: want you to have the laughter because laughter is contagious 135 00:05:53,753 --> 00:05:56,634 Speaker 2: and it makes other people. The scientific fact laughter is contagious, 136 00:05:56,674 --> 00:05:59,274 Speaker 2: and so the more laughter you have playing on something, 137 00:05:59,433 --> 00:06:01,794 Speaker 2: the more your brain is like signaled that you should 138 00:06:01,873 --> 00:06:02,474 Speaker 2: laugh as well. 139 00:06:03,034 --> 00:06:04,234 Speaker 3: So they wouldn't be muting it. 140 00:06:04,354 --> 00:06:05,954 Speaker 1: Oh they should have just got me in that audience. 141 00:06:05,953 --> 00:06:08,513 Speaker 3: They should have like a wi oh my god. 142 00:06:08,513 --> 00:06:10,313 Speaker 2: And the thing is like you need like hot audience 143 00:06:10,313 --> 00:06:15,034 Speaker 2: members and like not obviously you're physically hot too.

And don't worry, guys, I'm not 195 00:08:23,674 --> 00:08:25,914 Speaker 2: absolutely not spoiling it for you. I wrote a whole 196 00:08:26,034 --> 00:08:28,314 Speaker 2: thousand word review on this without spoiling it, so I 197 00:08:28,474 --> 00:08:31,874 Speaker 2: really have been careful, because yeah, once the trailer came 198 00:08:31,914 --> 00:08:36,034 Speaker 2: out and you see the reactions to everyone else at 199 00:08:36,074 --> 00:08:39,634 Speaker 2: the table, and you see Charlie's reaction, this horrified, like 200 00:08:39,754 --> 00:08:40,394 Speaker 2: oh my god. 201 00:08:40,674 --> 00:08:41,514 Speaker 3: And then people. 202 00:08:41,234 --> 00:08:43,034 Speaker 2: Started trying to guess, like what could be the twist 203 00:08:43,034 --> 00:08:44,274 Speaker 2: be what has Emma done? 204 00:08:44,354 --> 00:08:46,634 Speaker 1: Because when I've seen the trailer, like I saw it 205 00:08:46,674 --> 00:08:49,953 Speaker 1: a while ago, so correct me if I'm wrong. But 206 00:08:49,994 --> 00:08:51,754 Speaker 1: the big point in the trailer is that they're at 207 00:08:51,754 --> 00:08:54,594 Speaker 1: this dinner table with other friends and they were playing 208 00:08:54,674 --> 00:08:57,714 Speaker 1: like kind of like question games, and the one of 209 00:08:57,754 --> 00:09:00,514 Speaker 1: the questions was, what's the worst thing you've ever done yes, 210 00:09:00,754 --> 00:09:02,434 Speaker 1: and then like you just you don't hear it, but 211 00:09:02,474 --> 00:09:05,154 Speaker 1: you just see all the reactions to what I'm assuming something. 212 00:09:05,234 --> 00:09:08,714 Speaker 2: Zenda said, yes, exactly, that's exactly it. So I went 213 00:09:08,754 --> 00:09:11,234 Speaker 2: and saw a preview of this movie and I had 214 00:09:11,234 --> 00:09:14,434 Speaker 2: to sign two NDAs in blood No. I mean but 215 00:09:14,514 --> 00:09:16,314 Speaker 2: kind of almost if they had us, I would have been, like, 216 00:09:16,514 --> 00:09:18,394 Speaker 2: I get it, Like they were so intense about it. 217 00:09:18,434 --> 00:09:19,834 Speaker 2: They also didn't do like a big It was like 218 00:09:19,834 --> 00:09:21,714 Speaker 2: a really small like I didn't get a plus one 219 00:09:21,874 --> 00:09:23,754 Speaker 2: and I don't think anyone else at work got invited. 220 00:09:23,834 --> 00:09:24,714 Speaker 3: It was very small. 221 00:09:24,714 --> 00:09:26,474 Speaker 2: I mean, the thing is like because it's got Sendaia 222 00:09:26,514 --> 00:09:28,314 Speaker 2: and Rob Pattinson and they did like a lot of 223 00:09:28,354 --> 00:09:31,114 Speaker 2: red carpets and Zendeas was going viral for her like 224 00:09:31,434 --> 00:09:33,394 Speaker 2: dresses and things. I think sometimes people thought it was 225 00:09:33,394 --> 00:09:35,994 Speaker 2: like a big blockbuster, but it's a smaller A twenty four, 226 00:09:36,034 --> 00:09:38,714 Speaker 2: Like it's a smaller independent film, which will make more 227 00:09:38,754 --> 00:09:40,234 Speaker 2: sense when you see it. Of like this is not 228 00:09:40,314 --> 00:09:43,714 Speaker 2: a traditional rom com at all, and so not many 229 00:09:43,754 --> 00:09:45,274 Speaker 2: people could see it, and it was a big deal 230 00:09:45,274 --> 00:09:47,074 Speaker 2: when I went, and I had to wait like over 231 00:09:47,114 --> 00:09:48,954 Speaker 2: a week before I could say anything or write a 232 00:09:48,954 --> 00:09:51,834 Speaker 2: review or even like even not even give the plot away, 233 00:09:52,154 --> 00:09:54,754 Speaker 2: Like I legally wasn't allowed to write a review until 234 00:09:54,754 --> 00:09:56,794 Speaker 2: this week, like two days before the movie came out, 235 00:09:56,834 --> 00:09:58,874 Speaker 2: even though I had seen it a week prior.

Yeah, he is 334 00:13:44,874 --> 00:13:46,834 Speaker 2: like and also sometimes it's hard to tell of like 335 00:13:46,914 --> 00:13:48,994 Speaker 2: what's because like Emma will like picture him doing something 336 00:13:48,994 --> 00:13:52,394 Speaker 2: and steps back to reality and he can't get past. 337 00:13:52,194 --> 00:13:54,234 Speaker 1: It, and so it becomes this thing to the point 338 00:13:54,274 --> 00:13:56,274 Speaker 1: where like he's still trying to get through the wedding. 339 00:13:56,474 --> 00:13:58,274 Speaker 2: Yeah, Like I mean there's photos of at the wedding, 340 00:13:58,314 --> 00:13:59,754 Speaker 2: so they do get to the wedding, but I won't 341 00:13:59,754 --> 00:14:02,194 Speaker 2: see what happens, but it is like the worst, Like 342 00:14:02,194 --> 00:14:04,954 Speaker 2: you wouldn't want to be at that wedding. Whoa, because 343 00:14:04,954 --> 00:14:07,194 Speaker 2: things escalate. I won't say what happens or how how 344 00:14:07,234 --> 00:14:09,194 Speaker 2: it ends cause you probably you won't pick how it ends. 345 00:14:09,194 --> 00:14:10,394 Speaker 2: So like, I know, it sounds like I've given away 346 00:14:10,394 --> 00:14:11,754 Speaker 2: a lot of plot, but I can't stress enough her 347 00:14:11,754 --> 00:14:13,874 Speaker 2: that I haven't because there's so much stuff I can't 348 00:14:13,874 --> 00:14:16,034 Speaker 2: even talk about because I can't tell you what the 349 00:14:16,074 --> 00:14:19,074 Speaker 2: plot twist is. But basically it's this build up to 350 00:14:19,074 --> 00:14:21,234 Speaker 2: the wedding, so it's so intense and they're going through 351 00:14:21,314 --> 00:14:23,354 Speaker 2: all the same like even though like her made of 352 00:14:23,354 --> 00:14:24,994 Speaker 2: one and now won't answer the phone and like you know, 353 00:14:25,034 --> 00:14:26,754 Speaker 2: all that sort of stuff, but they got they have 354 00:14:26,754 --> 00:14:28,754 Speaker 2: to go through all the motions of the wedding until 355 00:14:28,794 --> 00:14:32,234 Speaker 2: they get to the wedding day with this thing looming 356 00:14:32,314 --> 00:14:35,474 Speaker 2: over them and him getting increasingly more like who is 357 00:14:35,514 --> 00:14:38,314 Speaker 2: this person? And it kind of like puts this idea 358 00:14:38,314 --> 00:14:40,954 Speaker 2: of like can you still love someone when you know 359 00:14:40,994 --> 00:14:44,394 Speaker 2: their darkest moment? Can people change? 360 00:14:43,874 --> 00:14:45,154 Speaker 3: So I can. 361 00:14:46,674 --> 00:14:49,714 Speaker 2: I would just say this it's a great movie in 362 00:14:49,794 --> 00:14:53,274 Speaker 2: terms of just like it keeps you so engaged. Their 363 00:14:53,314 --> 00:14:55,914 Speaker 2: performances and Dan Rob Pattinson are so good in this 364 00:14:55,954 --> 00:14:57,794 Speaker 2: because the thing is it's a two hand. I'm mostly 365 00:14:57,834 --> 00:14:59,954 Speaker 2: between the just the two of them. It could almost 366 00:14:59,954 --> 00:15:01,914 Speaker 2: be a play if it wasn't a movie, Like it 367 00:15:01,914 --> 00:15:03,194 Speaker 2: could just be the two of them in a room. 368 00:15:03,274 --> 00:15:05,554 Speaker 2: Like the dialogue is like so, you know, snappy and 369 00:15:05,634 --> 00:15:09,074 Speaker 2: back and forth, and it is very funny. Sometimes it's 370 00:15:09,074 --> 00:15:11,314 Speaker 2: nervous laughter, but people who were in the small screen 371 00:15:11,354 --> 00:15:14,554 Speaker 2: with me were like cackling with laughter and gasping and stuff. 372 00:15:14,834 --> 00:15:17,794 Speaker 2: I will like horror, No, no, no, no, it's not horror. Okay, 373 00:15:17,794 --> 00:15:19,674 Speaker 2: it's very much like so I can go by myself 374 00:15:19,674 --> 00:15:21,674 Speaker 2: to watch it. Absolutely, okay, Absolutely, you can go about 375 00:15:21,674 --> 00:15:23,354 Speaker 2: yourself to watch it. No, no, there's no horror at 376 00:15:23,354 --> 00:15:25,274 Speaker 2: all unless the horror of the world upsets you. 377 00:15:26,354 --> 00:15:27,714 Speaker 3: Yeah, but there's. 378 00:15:27,554 --> 00:15:30,674 Speaker 2: Something supernatural anything like that. But it's also complicated because 379 00:15:30,674 --> 00:15:32,794 Speaker 2: there are certain people in the world. I think I 380 00:15:32,834 --> 00:15:36,034 Speaker 2: would love to warn about it because people have been 381 00:15:36,194 --> 00:15:39,634 Speaker 2: very upset. People have written open letters, people have made 382 00:15:39,674 --> 00:15:42,194 Speaker 2: statements who are affected to the thing that she speaks about, 383 00:15:42,474 --> 00:15:45,194 Speaker 2: being like this is not okay to use in a movie, 384 00:15:45,234 --> 00:15:47,194 Speaker 2: it's not okay to use in comedy, which I actually 385 00:15:47,234 --> 00:15:49,074 Speaker 2: agree with it kind of made me really sit with 386 00:15:49,114 --> 00:15:51,914 Speaker 2: this idea of like Zendea said when she was doing 387 00:15:51,954 --> 00:15:53,994 Speaker 2: the promo for it, that she knew that people would 388 00:15:53,994 --> 00:15:55,794 Speaker 2: be upset and she thinks it's gonna start a lot 389 00:15:55,794 --> 00:15:58,714 Speaker 2: of conversations, and she like welcomes the conversations and the 390 00:15:58,754 --> 00:16:01,634 Speaker 2: discourse around it. Alana Haim also said that she saw 391 00:16:01,674 --> 00:16:03,154 Speaker 2: it with a bunch of her friends and she's like, 392 00:16:03,194 --> 00:16:05,474 Speaker 2: we could not like the conversation was back and forth 393 00:16:05,474 --> 00:16:08,354 Speaker 2: and not everyone agreed. And she also said, but also 394 00:16:08,394 --> 00:16:10,154 Speaker 2: like that's art, So it sits at this thing of 395 00:16:10,194 --> 00:16:12,994 Speaker 2: like can you make art about the serious subject matter? 396 00:16:13,514 --> 00:16:14,954 Speaker 2: And would it have been different if it was just 397 00:16:14,954 --> 00:16:17,034 Speaker 2: a drama, if there wasn't comedy attached to it, because 398 00:16:17,074 --> 00:16:19,314 Speaker 2: also like Zendan and Rob at one stage called it 399 00:16:19,354 --> 00:16:21,274 Speaker 2: a romantic comedy, and in my head, I was like, 400 00:16:21,274 --> 00:16:23,114 Speaker 2: I just don't think you can call this a romantic 401 00:16:23,114 --> 00:16:26,714 Speaker 2: comedy when it deals with this subject and some of 402 00:16:26,714 --> 00:16:28,594 Speaker 2: the scenes did make me really uncomfortable. I was like, 403 00:16:28,594 --> 00:16:29,914 Speaker 2: I just don't think we should be laughing at this. 404 00:16:30,194 --> 00:16:32,114 Speaker 2: So I just wasn't it's a complicated movie, like I 405 00:16:32,154 --> 00:16:34,234 Speaker 2: can say, I can say it's a great movie in 406 00:16:34,314 --> 00:16:37,074 Speaker 2: terms of like it's really well made and it's very clever, 407 00:16:37,234 --> 00:16:39,674 Speaker 2: but also like I think sometimes it does cross the 408 00:16:39,674 --> 00:16:40,514 Speaker 2: line in a bad way. 409 00:16:40,674 --> 00:16:41,274 Speaker 1: Interesting. 410 00:16:41,514 --> 00:16:43,394 Speaker 3: So yeah, it's hard want to talk about that. 411 00:16:43,634 --> 00:16:45,354 Speaker 1: I am really interested to watch it, like this is. 412 00:16:45,274 --> 00:16:48,514 Speaker 3: Why it maybe I would love to. 413 00:16:48,674 --> 00:16:51,074 Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, I guess if enough people go and see it, 414 00:16:51,074 --> 00:16:52,514 Speaker 2: which I feel like they would.
