I have to ask my whole life, I've 13 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:47,160 Speaker 1: been eating potatoes by microwaving them, then biding into them, 14 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:51,640 Speaker 1: and then eating them hot dog style, and some would 15 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 1: say doggy style.

Anyone from Japan please 23 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,399 Speaker 1: enlighten the comment below whenever I go to a grocery store, 24 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:29,039 Speaker 1: I always pick out the most easily bitible potatoes, which 25 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,400 Speaker 1: are generally longer and thinner than most potatoes. 26 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 4: Oh god. 27 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 1: So I work in an office of about thirty people. 28 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 1: We all typically bring our own lunch, and I usually 29 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 1: just eat at my desk while doing work. No one 30 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 1: has ever commented on how I eat potatoes, but I 31 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 1: do eat them fairly frequently. Recently, a new person was hired, 32 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 1: and she clearly has a problem with the way I 33 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 1: eat potatoes. A couple of times she pulled me aside 34 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 1: and asked me that I eat potatoes more normal way. 35 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 1: I asked her what she meant, and she said that 36 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 1: I was eating potatoes a little too suggestively. 37 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, just just just imagining this conversation. Yeah, just 38 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 3: another human Excuse me. 39 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,360 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but I am completely turned on and have 40 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 1: a rock hard cock for the way you eat potatoes, 41 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 1: and I just can't work. 42 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 3: I just noticed that you're slobbing on those starchy knobs, 43 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 3: and I just couldn't came. I became compelled to stop you. 44 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,239 Speaker 1: That's essentially what this person is saying. I am too aroused. Yeah, 45 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,799 Speaker 1: I was a little shocked because I literally just have 46 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 1: my eyes glued to my screen and I'm just watching. 47 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 4: I'm just taking notes. 48 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: Whenever I'm eating, and barely pay attention to how I 49 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:53,920 Speaker 1: I told her, no one else seems to have a 50 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 1: problem with the way I eat potatoes. She insisted others 51 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: were just too polite to say anything. I asked a 52 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 1: few other coworkers who were all just confused as I 53 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: was about what she was saying. I figured no one 54 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 1: else really had a problem with it, But this happened 55 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 1: multiple times. She kept coming to me and asking me 56 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: to tone down the way I eat, even accusing me 57 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: of going out of the way to choose sexy potatoes. 58 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:22,079 Speaker 3: Oh God, the Miya Khalifa of potato eating. I think 59 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 3: it's more like the Johnny Sins. Oh Amya Khalifa of 60 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 3: potato eating. The Johnny Sins of potatoes. Oh you know, 61 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 3: I got that. It's starchy, well, starchy, long, long and narrow, starchy, 62 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 3: long and narrow. 63 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: Just how I like it, just how I love them. 64 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 1: I've considered bringing them other ways, but this is just 65 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: the easiest way for me to eat them, and honestly, 66 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: they're so delicious. I asked her, maybe just don't watch 67 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 1: me eat? 68 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 4: No, how dare you? 69 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 1: But apparently that's just not feasible. No, impossible, unfortunately, she 70 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: reported me. And now I have a meeting har next week. 71 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: This seems really dumb to me. But am I the 72 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 1: a hole for eating sexy potatoes? 73 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 4: These potatoes are too damn sexy, you. 74 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: Know, Like I mean, I would understand if she was like, 75 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:18,919 Speaker 1: I don't think she's doing that. 76 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 4: No, but John, there is an update. 77 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,599 Speaker 1: Oh god, but would you ever make a comment about 78 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,239 Speaker 1: someone eating a food too sexily?

That's what I would do, 91 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 3: se girlfriend. 92 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 1: First, Yeah, yeah, and then we would put it in the. 93 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 2: Our show some bread. 94 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 4: That's content, baby, all right? 95 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 1: But there is a enough date. 96 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:16,720 Speaker 2: Okay, let's go. 97 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,839 Speaker 1: So I had a couple of meetings with HR. The 98 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 1: first one was on my own yesterday morning, alone with 99 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 1: a HR woman. According to her, a coworker had reported 100 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 1: me for sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment. 101 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 1: Not going to lie. After hearing those accusations, I got 102 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 1: honestly pretty scared. Sexual harassment is a really serious charge. Yeah, 103 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:44,599 Speaker 1: which is true. I was allegedly making lewd gestures while eating, 104 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: despite repeatedly being asked to stop. I told her exactly 105 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 1: what had happened. I was eating potatoes the same way 106 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: I always had in the four years I've worked in 107 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: this office. No one else had ever had a problem 108 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: with this until now. The new coworker, let's call her 109 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,600 Speaker 1: Karen fitting Nice, approached me, telling me I was eating 110 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: potatoes inappropriately and told me to eat them another way. 111 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,359 Speaker 1: I had to explain to her this is how I 112 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,359 Speaker 1: grew up eating, and I would not stop. If that 113 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 1: bothered there, she could and should look away. I continued 114 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,160 Speaker 1: eating potatoes this way. Then over the next several weeks, 115 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 1: she kept complaining about my potatoes every time I ate 116 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 1: them this way. As I explained my side, I could 117 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,599 Speaker 1: tell HR was getting really annoyed. I don't think she 118 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 1: believed that this was all there was to it. She 119 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,279 Speaker 1: pressed me for more information. Are you sure you didn't 120 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 1: do anything to make her believe you were being inappropriate? 121 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 1: Are you sure you weren't harassing her even unintentionally? I 122 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 1: told her I never even talked to her unless it 123 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: was about work, and she approached me first. Hr thanked 124 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 1: me for coming in and told me she get back 125 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:52,840 Speaker 1: to me. I think she met with Karen after that. 126 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: Then later in the day we had a meeting with 127 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 1: the three of us. Karen says I lied about not 128 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 1: doing anything to make her uncomfortable that after the first 129 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: time she came to me asking me to eat my 130 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 1: potatoes differently, I dimissed it as a joke, which, to 131 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 1: be fair, I did because I'm dead ass, which I 132 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: acknowledged because who wouldn't take it as a joke that 133 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: she claimed after each time. 134 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 2: It got. 135 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 1: That, she claimed after each time she asked me to 136 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: tone it down, I escalated by choosing increasingly sexy potatoes to. 137 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 4: Eat in front of her. 138 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,679 Speaker 1: I think this way was just turned on by pot. 139 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 4: Them taters are just totting me and all the right places. 140 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 1: Good God by which point I'm pretty sure Hr was 141 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 1: trying hard not to roll her eyes. I responded by 142 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 1: telling Karen I literally gave zero thought about her when 143 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 1: I bought my potatoes and selected them based on ease 144 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 1: of cooking slash eating. She accused me of making eye 145 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: contact with her while I was eating, which I think 146 00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 1: I did every time she watched me. Hey, eye contact, 147 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 1: that's just curting. 148 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 4: Karen's just like. 149 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 1: What are you doing, and like Opie's like, no, I'm 150 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 1: eating my potatoes. I think I did every time she 151 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 1: watched me eat, because it's really uncomfortable having someone watch 152 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 1: me eat, which I explained, and I told her that 153 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: I had repeatedly asked her to stop watching me eat. 154 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,239 Speaker 1: She then pointed out that no one else eats potatoes 155 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 1: this way, and the only reason I would do this 156 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 1: was to try to be provocative. I just showed her 157 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:34,320 Speaker 1: a video of Japanese people eating potatoes with your hands 158 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 1: inviting into them. 159 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:35,960 Speaker 4: There we go. 160 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,440 Speaker 1: Hu. Woman knows me and knows I'm not the type 161 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 1: to harass someone or deliberately make a hostile work environment. 162 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:43,959 Speaker 1: And at the end, she just said something like I'm 163 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 1: sorry about the misunderstanding. Perhaps it really would be best 164 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,560 Speaker 1: to look another way while your coworker is eating. Basically 165 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: trying to politely tell Karen to get her head out 166 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: of her freaking ass, she tried yet another angle, claiming 167 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 1: that the way I ate them with my hands was 168 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 1: a COVID risk and that it was putting the safety 169 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 1: of the office in jeopardy by eating this way.

My mom 344 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 3: called me and told me that my dad was telling 345 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 3: one of his clients about being scammed, and she also 346 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 3: knew someone who had been scammed and had some of 347 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 3: it recovered, and my dad got that person's contact infohone 348 00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 3: and was in the process to see if that guy 349 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 3: could help. My mom was so excited about it that 350 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 3: she told my sister on her birthday and asked me 351 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:06,560 Speaker 3: not to tell her before What if this. 352 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 2: Is another scam? Flash forward to last Monday. 353 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 3: My dad called my husband asking if he could come 354 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,720 Speaker 3: down and help fix his computer that the Microsoft tech 355 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 3: support called and showed him all the stuff wrong with 356 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:21,200 Speaker 3: his computer. Hmmmm. 357 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,480 Speaker 2: My husband asked if he had installed. 358 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 3: Anything, and he said no, but he let them remote 359 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:31,920 Speaker 3: into his computer. Oh my god, Like, why this dad 360 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 3: is completely unprotected. He's going around doing anything on the internet. 361 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 3: Like if he had just simply used Guardio, he would 362 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 3: have protected himself from phishing sites, email scams, like everything. 363 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 2: He would have been good. 364 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:43,919 Speaker 1: But he. 365 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:46,360 Speaker 2: Was not good at all. 366 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:48,479 Speaker 3: But if you want to make sure you don't end 367 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,359 Speaker 3: up like this, check our bilink to protect yourself. My 368 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,880 Speaker 3: husband told him to turn it off. We went over 369 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:55,880 Speaker 3: to their house so my husband could take a look 370 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:57,879 Speaker 3: at it. He's trying to see if they could just 371 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,639 Speaker 3: clean it and avoid reformatting. While my husban and was waiting, 372 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 3: he notices an email from Alex and can tell immediately 373 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 3: it's another scam. He looks at the website where he 374 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,680 Speaker 3: sent the email in so incredibly fake. I could tell 375 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,679 Speaker 3: as soon as he showed me. So he calls my 376 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 3: dad outside and shows him how fake it is. My 377 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:23,399 Speaker 3: dad asks, extremely surprised at this information. He still doesn't 378 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,200 Speaker 3: get it. My husband explained to him how he's on 379 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,120 Speaker 3: a sucker's list. Now. My husband told him any real 380 00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,639 Speaker 3: company can't ask for money for seven business days after 381 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,959 Speaker 3: they recovered the money. But my dad had already given 382 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 3: five thousand dollars from his business checking account. The fake 383 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:43,120 Speaker 3: website had fields for bank account and routing numbers that 384 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 3: he put in there. 385 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:45,440 Speaker 2: My dad came. 386 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,640 Speaker 3: Inside and told my mom that the website was fake. 387 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 3: My mom had a very nonchalant attitude about it and said, oh, well, 388 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:53,560 Speaker 3: nothing we can do about it now. There is no 389 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 3: way my husband was going to be able to recover 390 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 3: his computer, so we decided to take it home to 391 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 3: reform at it. My husband looked through his email to 392 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,479 Speaker 3: make sure there wasn't anything else getting potentially scammed. And 393 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 3: here's a few highlights. The alleged arrest for the recovery 394 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,919 Speaker 3: scam for his money was a completely blank report, and 395 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,640 Speaker 3: he thought he was gonna get back two million dollars 396 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:14,679 Speaker 3: even though he only lost three hundred thousand. 397 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:16,400 Speaker 5: Uh, this guy is set a sucker. 398 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:20,679 Speaker 2: Seriously. 399 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 3: The documents the guys were sending from the original scam 400 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 3: were so bad that you could literally google them. The 401 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 3: CEO of the Bank of America wasn't even the same 402 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 3: person anymore, and his name wasn't spelled correct and the 403 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 3: dates were totally off. My dad sent three brand new 404 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:36,440 Speaker 3: iPhone xrs what. 405 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 2: Are you doing to someone? And he had given them. 406 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 3: His social security, a picture of his driver's license and 407 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:47,360 Speaker 3: his parents full name, and here is the kicker. Before 408 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,880 Speaker 3: my dad sent the recovery scammer the money, he had 409 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 3: asked my brother what he had thought, and my brother 410 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 3: told him the exact same thing my husband told him. 411 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,400 Speaker 3: He warned him, but my dad still did it. Anyways, 412 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 3: I called my mom and told or not to believe 413 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 3: anything my dad says and to check with my husband 414 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 3: in the future. 415 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 2: She told me that she knew. 416 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,399 Speaker 3: As soon as they started asking for money that it 417 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 3: was a scam, but he didn't believe her. And at 418 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 3: this point she just doesn't care anymore and is trying 419 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,480 Speaker 3: to get the bankruptcy pushed so she could divorce my dad. 420 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,440 Speaker 2: To this is just a rough situation. 421 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:19,880 Speaker 3: I'm worried that my dad is going to do something 422 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,639 Speaker 3: that is gonna hurt their bankruptcy filing and continue to 423 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,960 Speaker 3: get scammed and get them in legal trouble. Is there 424 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,120 Speaker 3: something my mom can do to take away his ability 425 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,440 Speaker 3: from doing any of this? Is there anything we can 426 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:30,480 Speaker 3: do to stop him? 427 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 6: Man is on a wild chase to literally give away 428 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 6: all of his money. 429 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:36,880 Speaker 3: He wins the OSCAR for most Scammed human of all 430 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:38,920 Speaker 3: time and also is like crazy. 431 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,359 Speaker 6: That just like he went his entire life of making 432 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,160 Speaker 6: money without getting scammed and then all of a sudden, 433 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:44,920 Speaker 6: it's just like. 434 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:49,479 Speaker 3: Everything is gone coming bro that suckers Listen, they're hammer, 435 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 3: which is like it's just so sad because it's like 436 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,879 Speaker 3: it compounds how tragic it already like he's already been 437 00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 3: hit so hard and they're gonna keep going. 438 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,639 Speaker 6: Yeah, probably it's probably easier to suck him in because 439 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:03,920 Speaker 6: now he's already lost so much. 440 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 5: He's just like anything to help
