So the idea at first I was like, 34 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:35,959 Speaker 3: this is a good idea. I went back and forth, 35 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,959 Speaker 3: bad idea. I'm not ready. But recently I was driving 36 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,319 Speaker 3: to go see my friend Mattie, who lives in Minnesota, 37 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,320 Speaker 3: and then we were gonna go to her cabin in Wisconsin, 38 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 3: so tourda Midwest.
