So now this 30 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 3: was a mistake and I'll and and again it's part 31 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,679 Speaker 3: of just the learning. Yeah, you know, but but Lars 32 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 3: did the first of all, I should have been. 33 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 1: A part of that pitch. Now you should have let 34 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 1: I should that. 35 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 3: And the way that he did it, which is probably 36 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 3: just the way reps do it, is he's basically just 37 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 3: reading and just giving a play by instead of and 38 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 3: so at some point and I'll never forget, Will chimes 39 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 3: in and basically starts to give more of the flavor, 40 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 3: just like forget about the you know, and the turns 41 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 3: and the acts and whatever. 42 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 1: It's like because it's hard listen. 43 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 2: And Lars was going off with the script that he 44 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 2: wanted to. 45 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 3: Say, and what the and that's fine, but that's there 46 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 3: was no no, no. 47 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 2: And to be honest, that's why when you asked me 48 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:20,920 Speaker 2: to host fight and I was like, are you stupid? 49 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,359 Speaker 1: They should have let me talked the whole I would 50 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 1: have sold it. 51 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,360 Speaker 2: But if you'd have just talked about the first time 52 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 2: that JD and Chicken amendment. But I mean continue, because 53 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:30,959 Speaker 2: we did end up coming. 54 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,519 Speaker 3: Well Will Will Will jumps in smartly at some point, 55 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 3: and then at the end they start asking me questions 56 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 3: and I started, so you can start to see like 57 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 3: them a little bit get excited. 58 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: But we should have had him from the get go. 59 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 3: So again, the way that we just organized that pitch 60 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 3: was just too sterile is probably the best word.
