So I was reading more into this. 0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:47.760 So Florida, if you guys haven't heard, rejected adding an 0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:50.559 ap so ap is like the super Smart Kids class, 0:04:50.560 --> 0:04:54.680 college level forces in high school, Advanced Placement class for 0:04:54.800 --> 0:04:59.000 African American studies. And they say because it included study. 0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:02.560 They released this like one page, here's why, and included 0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:04.960 in that one pager was because the topics like the 0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:09.159 movement for Black Lives, black feminism, and reparations were on 0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:12.920 the list of concerns. According to Governor Ron, this is 0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:18.760 bah de voltemort number two. I like, what bullshit? You 0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:21.240 know how much of my ap triggodometry I use in 0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:27.040 my everyday life exactly, APUs history ap lit like none 0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:29.000 of that, you know what I use, what I would love. 0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:31.480 I didn't even know that was, you know, a thing 0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:32.720 when I was in high school. 0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:32.800 But I was. 0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:36.479 I think, that's so why why why can't we educate 0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:41.719 you know, young people on them like this concerted area 0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:44.000 of history. You know, it just seems like such a 0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:47.680 no brainer. But also I'm not entirely surprised that of 0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:50.960 all the states, Florida was the one the same it's 0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:51.880 too much for us. 0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:54.440 I mean, I saw that, and I was just like, 0:05:56.040 --> 0:05:58.640 this is what yah, people y'all be voted for, you. 0:05:58.640 --> 0:06:03.160 Know ya president, Like they're saying he potentially could run 0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:04.080 for president one day. 0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:06.080 I know, And I know Donald Trump has been saying 0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:08.000 a lot of things about howd I honestly, personally, one 0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:10.279 thing I do like is to watch let them hose fight. 0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:13.120 I'm enjoying that part because I was like, oh, y'all 0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:16.000 go to Guesst the main man they've been they've been dragging, 0:06:16.040 --> 0:06:18.840 and I'll say, well, like like my friend Deustin Ross 0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:25.000 says of the friend zone, let them hose fight. 0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:26.599 Let them let them destroy each other. 0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:27.120 I hope. 0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:29.160 I mean I feel like this is a second big blow. 0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:32.760 In Florida, they also had that don't say gay bill, Yeah, 0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:36.159 where they don't want you talking about you know, sexuality 0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:39.240 and elementary school Like this is why with all of 0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:42.200 our resources in this country, we still have like all 0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:46.000 these unwanted births. Ro v Wade being overturned. You know. 0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:50.559 STI is running a book like it's just it's sad. 0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:52.760 It really is up to us. I feel like to 0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:56.480 to educate the youths on our own and outside of school. 0:06:57.160 --> 0:06:59.839 But what to say? What to say? There also were 0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:03.039 I mean, on top of like the layoffs, I thought 0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:04.640 I was gonna come on here and talk about Google 0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:08.080 because they lost They let go of twelve thousand people. 0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:12.960 When was this Friday, Thursday or Friday? But it was 0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:16.000 so shitty how they did it because like some people, 0:07:16.280 --> 0:07:19.840 it happened so early. Maybe it was what day is today? 0:07:19.880 --> 0:07:21.720 I can't keep track anyway, I've been up with a 0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:24.120 sick kid all night. But some people just found out 0:07:24.360 --> 0:07:26.480 because they logged into their email and they couldn't get in. 0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:28.960 And even sadder, some people showed up to the office 0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:31.800 and their badge wouldn't work. Oh my god, So they 0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:35.480 just stood outside like and then people would tell them, oh, yeah, 0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:37.119 did you read your email? Did you read the news? 0:07:37.280 --> 0:07:38.920 And they would just stand there. Some people on their 0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:41.560 way from New York, you know, on the subway. You 0:07:41.560 --> 0:07:43.360 don't check your email before you get to work. Sometimes 0:07:44.880 --> 0:07:47.360 one girl found out her boss texted her to see 0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:50.160 if she was okay. She didn't know, and she was sobbing, 0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:54.280 and it's you know, these are real lives, and it's sad. 0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:58.800 It is it's very sad. So they're and the problem is, 0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:01.520 I mean, there's lots of problem, but the thing is 0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:04.960 there's tens of thousands of really really talented people. I 0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:07.840 think there's been over seventy thousand to eighty thousand people 0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:11.120 let go from tech just in the first like six 0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:14.480 weeks of the new year. Who just in the first 0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:17.480 month and a little bit before the new year, like 0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:19.600 tens of thousands of people let go. And these are 0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:23.680 highly skilled, excellent people. This was not something and they 0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:27.560 don't lay off people based on you know, merit, you know, 0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:32.240 or performance. And that's why I think it's important for 0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:35.520 anyone who's you know, looking at anyone who's been laid 0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:38.960 let go, like don't judge them don't think, oh, they 0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:42.400 were let go because they were somehow less than or 0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:46.360 they couldn't hack it. Because these layoffs are so there's 0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:49.160 just so uh what do you call it, like blunt. 0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:52.320 They just sort of decide this is a number. You 0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:54.560 guys have to find the people to cut, no rhyme 0:08:54.640 --> 0:08:58.040 or reason, you know, let's go. And it just sucks 0:08:58.040 --> 0:09:00.400 because there's thousands of people flooding the job market at 0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:03.959 the same time in a concerted industry. So if you're 0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:07.280 someone who's been let go and tech, I feel you 0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:09.920 because it is going to be more challenging to run 0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:12.120 out there and find new work. Not that you can't 0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:16.520 do it, but you're competing with everybody, like all these 0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:19.640 other people who have been let go as well. And yeah, 0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:24.480 for anyone who thought big tech was safe, I'll say 0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:26.600 it again, there's no such thing as a stable job 0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:31.720 or an entirely stable industry. And if you're someone who's 0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:36.560 worried and maybe you've avoided getting late let go so far, 0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:39.600 you know, it's never too early. I feel like to 0:09:39.679 --> 0:09:44.040 start dusting off your LinkedIn, you know, warming up those connections, 0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:47.320 starting to get your resume together, just in case, just 0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:49.760 in case, unfortunately it happens to you as well. But 0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:51.760 if I laid off six percent of its workforce or 0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:54.120 about six hundred employees, and I. 0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:58.120 Saw Venmo too, like it was just it's crazy to 0:09:58.160 --> 0:10:02.280 your point. You know, it's one thing, one one company 0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:05.160 to do this, but the market is going to be 0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:09.720 flooded with all of these highly skilled, specifically trained people. 0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:11.760 So y'all know where to go if you need some 0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:12.520 career coaching. 0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:16.040 Mandy Money, I'm just science. 0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:21.719 I'm like an ambulance chaser. Now send him over to 0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:25.040 the Mandy Money. Oh gross, cut that out. I hate myself, 0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:27.720 all right, but no heart, my heart definitely goes out 0:10:27.720 --> 0:10:29.440 to y'all who are who are being let go. I 0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:32.080 hope that severance package is fact, and I hope you 0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:34.320 I saw one TikTok of a girl who got let 0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:36.520 go from Google and she was like, I cried all 0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:39.480 day and then I took myself to Disneyland. More of that. 0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:43.760 To treat yourself, be kind to yourself, you know, whatever 0:10:43.760 --> 0:10:45.920 you need to do in the next couple of weeks, 0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:48.560 and then get to work because it's yeah, it's going 0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:52.280 to be competitive out there. But also self care is important, 0:10:52.280 --> 0:10:54.920 and don't take it personally. I mean as much as 0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:57.240 you can try it to take it personally and don't 0:10:57.320 --> 0:11:00.240 let it kind of destroy your your own belief about 0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:03.280 your talent and you know, your potential in this field. 0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:06.000 It's nothing to do with y'all. It's really just about 0:11:06.080 --> 0:11:09.240 businesses being businesses, you know, and worrying about their bottom line, 0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:13.079 which they're all what you're going to do. Unfortunately, so. 0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:19.400 On more not so great news. I don't know, like, 0:11:19.520 --> 0:11:22.920 what does it take in the US of A to 0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:30.439 pass legislation that so you kill kids, no kill black people, No, 0:11:31.400 --> 0:11:35.200 you kill like high school students, college students, Like, what 0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:38.400 does it take? And you know, we have another mess shooting. 0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:40.960 I just what is it going to take? Is it 0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:44.280 gonna take for people to target politicians? Families? 0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:44.360 Like? 0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:45.920 What is it going to take? You know? 0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:48.400 I was gonna say, honestly, ever since Sandy Hook when 0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:51.959 it was twenty six babies, I was like, that's a 0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:55.199 rap Thanks of America. You know, it's not happening. I 0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:57.440 just saw that. Although so of course we're talking about 0:11:57.440 --> 0:12:00.280 and our hearts go out to the everyone impact by 0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:04.640 the Monterey Park massacre that happened over the weekend on 0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:07.600 at just the beginning of the lunar New Year celebration, 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:09.600 which is supposed to be this like joyous time. It's 0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:12.720 days and days of celebrating this wonderful start to the 0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:15.640 new year, the Year of the Rabbit. And yeah, ten 0:12:15.679 --> 0:12:17.920 people shot in a mass shooting. And then there was 0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:20.840 another one last night and Baton Rouge apparently, I don't 0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:24.560 know much about that. And then one CNN report says 0:12:24.600 --> 0:12:28.080 there's been three No, there's been thirty six mass shootings 0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:29.240 from the last three weeks. 0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:30.760 Three weeks, three. 0:12:30.559 --> 0:12:33.200 Weeks alone, too many for all the headlines. Yeah, in 0:12:33.200 --> 0:12:34.800 the last three weeks. So I think a mass shooting 0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:41.520 is a more than four thirty six. This is America 0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:46.440 in twenty twenty three, y'all. I don't know if it's 0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:50.240 just like the hormones and the all the fields and 0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:52.800 all the emotions, but it's there are days when I 0:12:52.840 --> 0:12:54.360 drop Rio off to daycare and I have to have 0:12:54.360 --> 0:12:56.400 a little baby cry in the car because I'm like, 0:12:57.160 --> 0:13:00.640 how do I know nothing's going to happen? Know? Or 0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:02.440 I go to a movie theater and I'm like, where's 0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:05.160 the exit? What if something happens? Excuse me, I can't 0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:09.000 be the only one. But that's where I'm just like, 0:13:09.120 --> 0:13:12.920 have my therapist on on text, like I'm having a 0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:16.480 moment with some intrusive thoughts. I know it's you know, 0:13:16.520 --> 0:13:18.560 we have to we have to move forward and keep 0:13:18.600 --> 0:13:21.080 it pushing and all of that. But saying it out 0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:24.080 loud sometimes at least helps like move through that moment 0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:27.079 and and keep going, because sometimes it just feels like 0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:28.920 you just want to hide in your bed and not leave. 0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:36.880 Well maybe we should have faded with the Beyonce news. 0:13:36.720 --> 0:13:40.679 That's okay. We send a prayer up respect, you know, 0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:44.720 for people's families, like because these are you know, hundreds 0:13:44.720 --> 0:13:47.400 of families, if not thousands of families that are affected 0:13:48.440 --> 0:13:49.880 where things will never be the same. 0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:51.439 You know, Oh. 0:13:51.280 --> 0:13:56.920 America, Why why, why why is there anything to make 0:13:56.960 --> 0:13:57.760 people smile? 0:13:58.360 --> 0:14:03.480 No pressure? Well, what's on your shirt? 0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:07.280 It says good vibes, good vibes good just from targets 0:14:07.280 --> 0:14:11.160 from years ago. Well, I'm loving it, you know, I 0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:13.480 want to keep it to myself until like I took look, 0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:15.199 it's like it's some good, you know, hopefully good news 0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:16.960 about like you know this place I'm trying to buy, 0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:21.200 but I saw this other place. And when I tell 0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:26.280 you I feel like Beyonce lives here because it's on 0:14:26.320 --> 0:14:29.760 the eighth before you went in. No, because it's on 0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:35.280 the eighth floor, and it the views. Because so where 0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:37.640 I live in Forest Hill, it's called Forest Hill because 0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:40.640 it's literally on a hill and it's at the edge 0:14:40.640 --> 0:14:42.800 of Newark, so I can see when I go for 0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:44.200 a walk, there's parts of the walk where I could 0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:46.720 just see the whole New York City side skyline and 0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:50.840 it's just beautiful. And so the place where I'm wanting 0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:55.120 to to purchase it is like built even further on 0:14:55.160 --> 0:14:58.080 the hill. So many of the some of the unit's 0:14:58.080 --> 0:14:59.600 not many, but some of the units have the New 0:14:59.680 --> 0:15:01.800 York City these skylines. So the unit that I want 0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:05.120 has a big picture window New York City skyline. Hey girl, Hey, 0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:08.400 that's all you see? No, No, it's just epic. But 0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:10.880 then's something, you know. There's another unit that's for sale 0:15:11.480 --> 0:15:14.200 and the people who live there opened up all of 0:15:14.200 --> 0:15:17.080 the windows and it's like an L shape. Like the 0:15:17.160 --> 0:15:19.720 room is like, you know, a rectangle square, but two 0:15:19.920 --> 0:15:22.880 sides of the room are just filled with windows, and 0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:25.520 then it has like a fireplace in it. And I 0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:28.520 have never in my life Mandy I gasped when I 0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:30.520 went up there because. 0:15:30.160 --> 0:15:33.320 I'm picturing Carrie from the first Sex and Sexy Saxity movie, 0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:36.280 the only one that I will acknowledge because it's never happened. 0:15:36.880 --> 0:15:40.080 It never I or am Big go into the bed. 0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:42.280 Oh my god, I get when I say gas. I 0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:46.440 was like, I've never It reminded me of like, you know, 0:15:46.480 --> 0:15:48.080 sometimes I go to the city to tape something and 0:15:48.080 --> 0:15:50.120 they're like, you're in some building on the twenty third floor, 0:15:50.160 --> 0:15:51.880 and you're like you just like people work in an 0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:54.120 office space where they see all of this. It was 0:15:54.240 --> 0:15:56.600 that and I said, I don't know, I might take 0:15:56.640 --> 0:15:58.600 this unit, but then the rest of the unit really 0:15:58.680 --> 0:16:01.240 didn't it here to the way I live my life. 0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:03.480 Like it wasn't like enough bedrooms. I didn't have like 0:16:03.840 --> 0:16:05.560 a place where I could see half in my office. 0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:07.680 It just it was like, you know, it's a nice unit, 0:16:07.720 --> 0:16:09.800 but like and if I honestly didn't work from home largely, 0:16:10.160 --> 0:16:13.880 I might consider it, but that living I want one day. 0:16:13.920 --> 0:16:15.600 I am going to have a living room like that 0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:17.720 one day, but with all the other things that I need. 0:16:18.080 --> 0:16:20.920 Because it was I mean, you could see New York, 0:16:21.000 --> 0:16:23.560 you see Jersey City, you could see her. I've never 0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:25.200 seen anything like that in real life. I was like, 0:16:25.240 --> 0:16:27.640 how am I loud up here? Yeah, it was just 0:16:27.840 --> 0:16:32.400 a level of luxury and either, yes, okay. 0:16:32.560 --> 0:16:35.440 We manifest you absolutely deserve to be there so that 0:16:35.480 --> 0:16:36.800 I can be the friend who comes. 0:16:36.640 --> 0:16:40.440 Over girl, like I said, the unit that I'm actually 0:16:40.560 --> 0:16:43.680 like hopefully going to get. I'll know by today that 0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:46.280 you know, it is very beautiful and like like it 0:16:46.480 --> 0:16:49.800 it's the way the space is laid out is the 0:16:49.800 --> 0:16:51.720 way that I need to live my life. And I'm like, 0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:53.720 cause I was like, I was so tempted to be like, girl, 0:16:53.720 --> 0:16:56.560 forget that place, but I was just like, no, you know, 0:16:56.680 --> 0:16:58.760 there's like things that you need to live day to day. 0:16:58.800 --> 0:17:02.600 You cannot just live in the living room, although it's close, 0:17:03.640 --> 0:17:05.800 but you never know. But I just wanted to share 0:17:05.800 --> 0:17:08.359 that this. Sometimes it's really nice to go and see 0:17:08.400 --> 0:17:12.919 these epic things because it makes these things like normal. 0:17:12.960 --> 0:17:15.399 There's an amazing I think they're Puerto Rican couple that 0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:17.360 live there and they lived there for the last ten years. 0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:19.399 They got a daughter, and they're just really just awesome. 0:17:19.440 --> 0:17:21.840 We just sat and I just sat and talked with 0:17:21.880 --> 0:17:25.520 them for like owners. Yeah, they were there. Yeah, well 0:17:25.520 --> 0:17:27.720 that's because it's not quite on the market yet. But 0:17:27.800 --> 0:17:29.960 they heard that I was looking, and so they're like, Okay, 0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:32.720 come see my place. And it's like it's beautiful, but 0:17:32.800 --> 0:17:35.159 like I said, is like the other place has a 0:17:35.200 --> 0:17:37.920 really big office, and I really would like a big office. 0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:41.280 It's like it's it's bigger. The other place that I'm 0:17:41.320 --> 0:17:43.400 wanting is like twenty eight hundred square feet twenty seven 0:17:43.400 --> 0:17:45.800 to twenty eight and this one is like twenty four. 0:17:46.000 --> 0:17:50.040 But that four hundred is the office, you know in 0:17:50.040 --> 0:17:52.840 my house? I know, Mandy, I'm not gonna lie. Where'd 0:17:52.880 --> 0:17:54.080 you come? What I mean? 0:17:54.080 --> 0:17:55.800 Because we're playing with baby. I have a little toy 0:17:55.880 --> 0:17:58.080 I have a little toy house. I feel like I'm pollypocket. 0:17:58.200 --> 0:18:01.440 That's what I feel like. How it's real cute and 0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:06.919 twenty how many Scriffy It's not that many tiff not 0:18:07.000 --> 0:18:13.800 that many. And it's it's I'm trapped the small no 0:18:13.880 --> 0:18:15.280 for really. We went to visit a friend who just 0:18:15.320 --> 0:18:17.360 had a baby and they moved into this gorgeous new 0:18:17.359 --> 0:18:20.480 house and I'm just like, oh, is this what space 0:18:20.520 --> 0:18:24.800 feels like? And you can breathe? And if there's three 0:18:24.800 --> 0:18:27.000 things on the counter. You don't feel like you're living 0:18:27.040 --> 0:18:28.280 in an episode of Hoarders. 0:18:30.200 --> 0:18:32.480 Now, that's what I love about hopefully the place that 0:18:32.560 --> 0:18:34.840 I get that. I like my house is not even 0:18:34.880 --> 0:18:37.639 twenty eight hundred scriffy and I have a decent sized house. 0:18:38.000 --> 0:18:39.920 It's not twenty if you don't include the basement, which 0:18:39.920 --> 0:18:41.760 I don't think they do because it wasn't finished at 0:18:41.760 --> 0:18:45.000 the time. But I like the fat fact that it 0:18:45.040 --> 0:18:48.320 feels almost like palatial, you know what I mean, Because 0:18:48.320 --> 0:18:50.040 I was like, it feels it's giving, like I said, 0:18:50.200 --> 0:18:52.639 you know, rich Auntie vibe, so saying pray for me 0:18:52.680 --> 0:18:55.200 that it all goes through. I'm this close, you know, 0:18:55.560 --> 0:18:58.520 to like locking it in. But I don't know. I 0:18:58.560 --> 0:19:01.200 just feel like this morning, I thought to myself, I'm 0:19:01.200 --> 0:19:06.879 feeling a mix of grief, gratefulness, joy, and like excitement 0:19:06.920 --> 0:19:09.880 about like this other half of life. And so it's possible, 0:19:10.000 --> 0:19:12.800 like you know, coding it to doctor Green that to 0:19:12.840 --> 0:19:14.920 hold all these things and hold space for all these things. 0:19:15.000 --> 0:19:18.280 So I just s I feel good good. I hope 0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:21.080 that it's good vibes. You deserve it. We're gonna manifest it. 0:19:21.440 --> 0:19:23.600 And hey, what what is the expression what's for you 0:19:23.640 --> 0:19:26.919 can't miss you exactly.
