And you 34 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 1: can see guy on our YouTube chat here, look for 35 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 1: wibc's YouTube channel. We're streaming it live. Had a little 36 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 1: hiccup earlier, but we're good now, all right, so let's 37 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: get into it here. The Wall Street Journal had this 38 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 1: article that says all a killer has to say to 39 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: get away with killing somebody is I feared for my life. 40 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 1: If there's some sort of situation happening and somebody says 41 00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: I feared for my life, you can get away with 42 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 1: killing somebody. This was a story in the Wall Street Journal, right, 43 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: This wasn't somebody's basement podcast exactly. It's the Wall Street Journal, 44 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 1: and we thought you would be the perfect guy to 45 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: ask man. 46 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 2: I saw this, and Wall Street Journal tweeted this and 47 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,919 Speaker 2: exactly to your point, and you nailed it. It said 48 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 2: the six words any killer needs to know, and it 49 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 2: was I feared from my life officer and and and 50 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 2: that was their lead into this article. And the article 51 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 2: was about standard ground laws and and and there's so 52 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 2: much misunderstanding about what a standard ground law even is, 53 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 2: how they function, uh, what they what they justify, and 54 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 2: what they don't feed in Florida. Yeah, and the thing 55 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 2: is that Trayvon Martin, right, and George Zimmerman is the 56 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 2: guy who's tried for murder. Thing is that wasn't even 57 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 2: a standard ground issue down there. And we can get 58 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 2: into the specifics, but there's this misperception out there and 59 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 2: it's engendered by propagated by the articles exactly like this 60 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 2: one in Wall Street Journal. It basically says, if you 61 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 2: claim you feared for your life, you can kill anybody 62 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 2: you want to. And it's so completely ridiculous. That's not 63 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 2: how the law works. I defend self defense cases. I 64 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 2: was in court today on a self defense case. That's 65 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,799 Speaker 2: not how they work. And it's ridiculous. But that's the 66 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 2: kind of propaganda that we see now, and it's so 67 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,639 Speaker 2: disappointing because I used to think the Wall Street Journal 68 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 2: had some objectivity, if not a little bit of fairness 69 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 2: to the right side of politics, and man, they seem 70 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 2: to have fallen off the other side of the spectrum. 71 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 1: So let's do some hypothetical stuff. That's one of my 72 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 1: favorite things to do is to just run a bunch 73 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 1: of stuff by you you bet so, tying it into 74 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: recent events. Let's say you are with somebody downtown Indy 75 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 1: on a Saturday night. You're walking down Meridian Street. You're 76 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: looking for the next club to go into, next are 77 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: to close out your night. You hear gunfire ringing out 78 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 1: from one of the bars. Yep, you walk in there 79 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 1: and start opening fire, and maybe you hit the shooter, 80 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 1: maybe you hit somebody else here. You can't tell the officer. 81 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: I feared for my life in that situation, can you? 82 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 3: Oh? 83 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 2: You can. But you're still going to jail, okay, because 84 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 2: because because because the way that standard ground laws work 85 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 2: is that all the standred ground law is. And there's 86 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,479 Speaker 2: so much misunderstanding about what this is Indiana. Does indian 87 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 2: have a standard ground law? Well, yes, we have a 88 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:37,799 Speaker 2: self defense law and one line in that in that law, 89 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 2: the self Defense Statue of Indiana makes it a standard 90 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 2: ground law. And here's how this works. For instance, the 91 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 2: general self Defense Statute that would apply in the hypothetical 92 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 2: you just threw out Jason says that I can use 93 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:53,039 Speaker 2: reasonable force, including deadly force, if I reasonably believe that 94 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 2: that force is necessary to prevent serious bodily injury to 95 00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,599 Speaker 2: me or a third person, or the commission of a 96 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 2: force felony. 97 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 1: So this is kind of like your client, the Greenwood kid. 98 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 2: That's exactly right, the Greenwood mulkey, and all it says 99 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 2: is part of that is with no duty to retreat, 100 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,040 Speaker 2: And those words, just those few words right there, with 101 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 2: no duty to retreat makes it a stand your ground law. 102 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 2: In other words, if I reasonably believe I'm defending myself 103 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 2: against serious bodily injury or in Eli's case, exactly to 104 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:27,159 Speaker 2: your point, defending other people against serious bodily injury or death, 105 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,600 Speaker 2: I don't have to run away first before I can 106 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 2: stand my ground and defend myself. But it's all contingent 107 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,919 Speaker 2: on meeting that first test, which is if and only 108 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 2: if I reasonably not just believe, but reasonably believe I'm 109 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,839 Speaker 2: preventing serious bodily injury to me or a third person. 110 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 2: So if I just walk in a bar where I 111 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 2: heard gunfire and start spraying rounds around I do that? 112 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:55,279 Speaker 2: Do I reasonably believe that that action is necessary to 113 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,919 Speaker 2: prevent serious bodily injury to me? First of all, I 114 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 2: walked in the bar. If there's gunshots from in the bar, 115 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 2: why didn't I just keep going? Right? But if I 116 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 2: walk in the bar, what do I reasonably believe in 117 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,719 Speaker 2: that circumstance? And the reasonable part of this is huge, 118 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:11,839 Speaker 2: because you can say I feared for my life, I 119 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 2: feared from my life. I feared from my life all 120 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 2: day long. That makes no difference whatsoever if that belief 121 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,359 Speaker 2: isn't reasonable under what we call the totality of the circumstances. 122 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,919 Speaker 2: And that's why how self defense cases are tried. I 123 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 2: know I try them. 124 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 1: Does it make a difference what the perpetrator is doing. Yes, 125 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,599 Speaker 1: So you get somebody breaks into your home and he's 126 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,839 Speaker 1: face to face with you, You, in theory, can fear 127 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 1: for your life and blow them away. But if somebody 128 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 1: breaks into your home and realizes, oh my god, somebody's 129 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: home and turns around and makes a run for it, 130 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 1: you can't shoot them in the back. 131 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,839 Speaker 2: Well, it's a really great question. See now by moving 132 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 2: the whole hypothetical adjacent into your home, now the rules 133 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 2: are different. Okay. 134 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,840 Speaker 1: So there's a big difference between you get public place 135 00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: in your. 136 00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 2: Home because now we're talking about not the general self 137 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 2: defense rule. Now we're talking about the castle doctrine. And 138 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 2: the castle doctrine is its different set of rules. It's 139 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 2: a different sub section within that same statue. Anybody wants 140 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 2: to look this up, you want to read the whole thing. 141 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 2: It's Indiana Code Section thirty thirty five forty one DOSH 142 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 2: three DESH two Okay, and we just moved from subsection 143 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 2: C to subsection D. And that's the castle doctrine, okay. 144 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 2: And what it says is I can use reasonable force, 145 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 2: including deadly force, with no duty to retreat. 146 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 1: Aha. 147 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 2: That means it's a standard ground law. I don't I 148 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 2: don't have to run out the back door first. 149 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 1: That's all. 150 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 2: That means. I don't have to run out the back 151 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 2: door first. If I reasonably believe I'm either preventing or 152 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 2: terminating that is, my deadly force is necessary. Keyword to 153 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 2: prevent or terminate an unlawful entry into or attack on 154 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 2: my dwelling, that's where I live. Now. That can be 155 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 2: permanent or temporary, movable or fixed, meaning it could be 156 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 2: my mobile home when I'm sleeping in the in the 157 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 2: RV park. It could be my apartment that I'm renting 158 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 2: for the for a moment. It can be my hotel, 159 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 2: and of course it can be my house. But if 160 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 2: I reasonably believe that I'm preventing or terminating an unlawful 161 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 2: entry into or attack on my dwelling, and that use 162 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 2: of deadly forces necessary, and that's a keyword in the statute, 163 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 2: I can use deadly force. That's the that's the that's 164 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 2: the castle doctrine. But to your question, which is such 165 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 2: an excellent question, if somebody turns around, sees me and 166 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 2: and was running now for the door, saying, oh my god, 167 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 2: I get out of here, is any use of force 168 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:33,479 Speaker 2: necessary in that circumstance, Because necessary is a key requirement 169 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 2: of the statute. If I just need to stand there 170 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 2: and watch them leave and no force is necessary, then 171 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 2: it's a different ball game. That's why it's a good question. Now, 172 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,960 Speaker 2: inside your home, most prosecutors are going to say, hey, 173 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,319 Speaker 2: he broke in, you shot him. I'm really not going 174 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 2: to pick that under those circumstances. But I always tell people, 175 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 2: and I teach this stuff all the time. The word 176 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,560 Speaker 2: necessary is in there. And if somebody's running out on 177 00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 2: their own yard on the her, oh that's over. You 178 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 2: can't shoot them at that point they're running away? Absolutely not, 179 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 2: I mean again, and these cases get prosecuted. You know, 180 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 2: there are cases where somebody's trying to break into your 181 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:10,600 Speaker 2: car and you say, hey, you know, you see them 182 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 2: on the ring doorbell, you say, get out of my 183 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 2: you know, get get away from my car, and then 184 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 2: you chase them down the road and shoot them. Is 185 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,680 Speaker 2: it running away? Now you're going to jail and stand 186 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 2: your ground. Laws, contrary to the Wall Street Journal, don't 187 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,200 Speaker 2: justify that in any way, shape or form. 188 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 1: So if going back to our original scenario here hypothetical, 189 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 1: let's say I'm going out to the Havedo Ultra Lounge 190 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,960 Speaker 1: on Saturday, just hypothetically, hypothetically, you know the coupon lady, 191 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 1: and I walk in. I was able to get past security. 192 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,200 Speaker 1: I've got a weapon on me, and I see somebody 193 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:48,839 Speaker 1: starting to fire shots and they turn away. They weren't 194 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 1: firing at me. But in that case, could I eliminate 195 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:54,079 Speaker 1: the threats? 196 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 2: Yes, because first of all, you have to you have 197 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 2: to be preventing the unlawful use of force, right, So 198 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,679 Speaker 2: if that's a police officer doing their job or something 199 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 2: like that, then it's off the table. But if you 200 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 2: reasonably believe that person is just going to murder people 201 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 2: by pulling their gun in that nightclub, can you, even 202 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,080 Speaker 2: as not the intended victim, but as a third party, 203 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 2: prevent that serious bodily injury to someone else. Of course, 204 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 2: that's the Eli Dickins scenario in the Greenwood Park Mall, 205 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 2: which is at not only is justified, but makes him 206 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 2: an incredible hero. 207 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 4: At the same time, Monday Gun Day with the best 208 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 4: two way attorney and all of America, Guy Relford, host 209 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:38,080 Speaker 4: of the Gun Guys show, Guys Supreme Court, they've taken 210 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:39,079 Speaker 4: up another two way. 211 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,840 Speaker 2: Case they have. This is the Hamani case. And this 212 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 2: is really interesting and this bears on a case that 213 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 2: got a lot of media exposer as it should. When 214 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:51,200 Speaker 2: Hunter Biden got convicted of federal law and of course 215 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 2: until Daddy pardoned him, he was looking at some serious 216 00:10:54,720 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 2: jail time I think the auto Yeah, well good point. Yeah, yeah, 217 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 2: we know because there's a picture of it in the 218 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 2: galaxy in the White House. But yeah, Hunter Biden was 219 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 2: convicted under the statute that says it's illegal for you 220 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 2: to possess a firearm or attempt to purchase a firearm 221 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 2: if you're a user of or addicted to any illegal drugs. 222 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,320 Speaker 2: And the monic case is really interesting because it involves 223 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 2: a guide who admitted to being a regular user of marijuana. Well, 224 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:30,200 Speaker 2: there's no accusation he was high at the time that 225 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 2: he possessed a firearm, but he was a regular user 226 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 2: of marijuana, and marijuana, as ridiculous as this is, remains 227 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:43,679 Speaker 2: an illegal drug under the federal controlled substances that have. 228 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:47,320 Speaker 1: Made it legal. But under the federal law it's illegal. 229 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,719 Speaker 2: Not always it illegal. It's like a Schedule one or 230 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 2: Schedule A or however that works, where it's the worst 231 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 2: of the drugs. It's in the category up but with 232 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 2: meth and cocaine and heroin, And as ridiculous as that is, 233 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,439 Speaker 2: that's the way federal law is currently structured. So this 234 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 2: guy admitted to being a regular user of marijuana, he 235 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 2: gets prosecuted, and he gets convicted of a federal crime. 236 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,960 Speaker 2: Looking at Saria's prison time because he possessed a gun 237 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 2: while also being a quote unquote regular user of marijuana. 238 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 2: The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals that oversees Texas, where 239 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,959 Speaker 2: this case came out of, I believe, found that to 240 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:25,200 Speaker 2: be unconstitutional, and the Justice Department, interestingly enough, appealed it, 241 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 2: and now it's in front of the Supremes. And I 242 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 2: just think this is really interesting because because listen, I'm 243 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 2: not a marijuana user. I learned in college that marijuana 244 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,560 Speaker 2: and I don't get along, right. I want to assume 245 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,679 Speaker 2: the fetal position, and hal is that the excuse I'm 246 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 2: going to I inhaled too much, apparently because it makes 247 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 2: me completely anti social and paranoid. But it may be 248 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 2: a Germaine issue with people in my family, And so 249 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 2: I think it's ridiculous that marijuana is illegal to begin with, 250 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 2: but it's certainly illegal for someone as to choose between 251 00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 2: their constitutional rights and smoking a joint from time to 252 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 2: so that Supreme Court is going to rule on that. 253 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 1: Where can people find you, maybe hire you if they've 254 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:07,960 Speaker 1: got questions? How can they reach out? 255 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,199 Speaker 2: Man? Follow me on Twitter and give me a follow 256 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 2: while you're on there. I'm just at Guy Ralford on 257 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,319 Speaker 2: Twitter or x at Guy Ralford. 258 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 1: What an hour we've had Grady Judd and Guy Ralph, 259 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 1: incredible Hover and Nigel's show Baby. 260 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:22,600 Speaker 2: Thanks guys,
