Picture this. We're nestled among the trees, 14 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,479 Speaker 3: surrounded by comfy bean bags, piles of fluffy pillows, and yes, 15 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 3: my favorite stuffy roe is here too. It's like we've 16 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 3: stepped into a peaceful world, almost as if my mom 17 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 3: used her relaxing dream spray to accept the cone. It's 18 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:44,040 Speaker 3: just peace and quiet, perfect for story time. So what 19 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 3: are we waiting for? Let's dive back into today's tale. 20 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 3: Declan's Day at Sea Part two are you ready to listen? Hi? Sure, 21 00:01:54,000 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 3: am all right, let's do it. 22 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 4: It wasn't just one dark figure, it was three figures 23 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 4: that made it look so big. Declan thought this was 24 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 4: the end of his new friend when he realized it 25 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,359 Speaker 4: was a female sea lion. 26 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 5: With two pups. 27 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 4: The female landed next to Mo, and the pups landed 28 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 4: on their outside shoulders. It was an entire family of 29 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 4: sea lions laying on the boarding step. The boarding step 30 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 4: is like a small wooden deck that hangs off of 31 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 4: the boat and into the water for easy in and out. Mo, 32 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 4: you're a dad. 33 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 5: Oh my goodness, are those the two cutest pups I've 34 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:42,920 Speaker 5: ever seen in my life? 35 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,920 Speaker 4: Moe and his wife's Sage nuzzle each other's necks. 36 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 5: This is the way sea lions hugged. 37 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 4: One of the baby sea lions jumped off the boat 38 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 4: and into the water, swam to his sibling, and jumped 39 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 4: up in bit it's tail. This gave way to the 40 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 4: pups playing behind the boat for a short piero until 41 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,359 Speaker 4: they scurried off towards the other parts of the marina. 42 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 4: Moe and Sage jumped off towards the popps, and just 43 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:07,919 Speaker 4: as soon as all of the. 44 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 5: Excitement happened, it stopped. It was quiet. 45 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 4: Declan waited some time for Motor return back to him 46 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 4: to continue on their journey, but the only excitement was 47 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 4: a little fish that kept jumping out of the water, 48 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 4: but eventually it scurried off as well. Declan was all alone. 49 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 4: I wish I had someone to share this journey with. 50 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 4: Just as he said that, the wind picked up and 51 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 4: his boat started moving. Whoa, whoa, yikes. I don't know 52 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 4: if I can do this on my own. For some reason, 53 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 4: I felt courageous with mo, but now that I'm all 54 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 4: on my own, I'm not feeling as brave. 55 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 5: The wind picked up even more. 56 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 4: The wind was not giving Declan any choice but to 57 00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 4: use it in his favor. Declan started worrying that this 58 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 4: may not have been a good idea. Okay, calm down, deck, 59 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 4: deep breath in, deep breath out. Okay, now focus, you 60 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 4: know everything about sailing? 61 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 5: No, no, no, I don't. I don't know anything. 62 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:25,239 Speaker 4: Calm Maybe one more deep breath in, deep breath out. Okay, 63 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 4: back to the basics. Declan kicked into gear. He pulled 64 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 4: the sails, steadied the rudder, and used the wind to 65 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,919 Speaker 4: his advantage in a matter of minutes. He felt as 66 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 4: if the boat was an extension of himself. Whohoo, wind, 67 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,279 Speaker 4: thank you for the journey. 68 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 5: Let's go. A huge boat was coming straight for Declan. 69 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 4: He stayed put and watched this massive vessel float right 70 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 4: past him. There were ten people on the boat waving 71 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 4: down at Declan. 72 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,159 Speaker 5: Hey, little guy, you're doing great. 73 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 4: Thanks you do WHOA? That was so cool. 74 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,839 Speaker 5: Declan was sailing on his own. 75 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 4: It was as if the moment he stepped away from 76 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,720 Speaker 4: the spot where he had been rooted, everything around him 77 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,600 Speaker 4: began to move and sync with him. A mother duck 78 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 4: and ate ducklings swam by his boat. Kayakers, boats and 79 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 4: people on stand up paddle boards were floating by him, waving. 80 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 4: The birds and the fish were moving with him. The 81 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 4: wind was dancing, the sun appeared. He was totally and 82 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 4: utterly in the moment. Declan's boat was cruising for the 83 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,480 Speaker 4: open ocean, and he didn't have a care in the world. 84 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,840 Speaker 4: He was part of this great ecology that's beautiful, awe 85 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 4: inspiring and vibrant. He saw the open ocean in the distance, 86 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,559 Speaker 4: and he got a pinch of nervousness, a dash of doubt, 87 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,599 Speaker 4: and a heap of excitement. Anything could happen out here. 88 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 4: Declan made it past the last rock piled that separates 89 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 4: the open ocean from the marina. 90 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:07,720 Speaker 5: Ah, I'm really doing this, I'm really sailing out to sea. 91 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 4: Declan double checked all of his sailing equipment. He then 92 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,599 Speaker 4: put his head down for a moment to check his 93 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,920 Speaker 4: bag and his belongings. He was making sure no sneaky 94 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 4: seagulls landed on his boat and took his food. Everything 95 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 4: seemed to be in place. When he brought his head 96 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 4: back up to check his coordinates, he was so much 97 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 4: further out to sea than he'd ever thought he'd be. 98 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 4: The wind was so strong this day, and he only 99 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 4: had his head down for a quick second. How did 100 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 4: he get this far? He also noticed that the sea 101 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 4: was much. 102 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 5: Different out here. The waves were wild. 103 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 4: The boat was rocking in a manner that made Declan 104 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 4: feel like he was no longer in control. It was 105 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 4: a strange feeling, not being in control. He thought to himself. 106 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 4: This is what we strive for, right being in control. 107 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 4: We live our lives trying to hold on to control. 108 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 4: But what if we let go. I'm letting go decland 109 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 4: threw his hands up in the air, signifying that he 110 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 4: was letting go of control and giving it to the ocean. 111 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 4: He rocked and swayed, The breeze blew, the clouds danced. 112 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 4: He felt like he was part of everything, the water, 113 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 4: the sky, the wind, the animals. It was extraordinary to 114 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 4: be such a small piece in a huge place. Something 115 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 4: about this feeling was so comforting. He sat quietly, admiring 116 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 4: the stillness and the chaos, all the noises, in all 117 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 4: the commotion. He couldn't believe that he was a part 118 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 4: of something so beautiful. He sat for some time until 119 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 4: the moment passed. He thought about what could happen if 120 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 4: he didn't make it back to the dock, if he 121 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 4: got stuck out at sea. He began to worry again. 122 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 4: Did he bite off more than he could chew? He 123 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 4: looked around and he was the only one out to see. 124 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 4: All of the other boats were miles away. There were 125 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 4: no more kayakers or birds or fish. It was just 126 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 4: him and the wild ocean. Declan wasn't sure what to do. 127 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 4: He was ready to return, but he wasn't quite sure 128 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 4: how to use the wind to his advantage. He's never 129 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 4: felt afraid of anything. He didn't like the fact that 130 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,080 Speaker 4: fear had control over him, making him want to run 131 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 4: and hide. So he tried to turn the sailboat around 132 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 4: to head back in, but the wind was pushing him 133 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 4: further out to see. He tried again and again, but 134 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:48,319 Speaker 4: the wind was strongly pushing him away from the marina. 135 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 4: He did what he thought he could do, and he 136 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,680 Speaker 4: pulled the sails down so he wouldn't go any further 137 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 4: out to see. He sat down in his boat. Oh, 138 00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:03,839 Speaker 4: what's the number one rule in sailing? Don't panic? Okay, think, 139 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:08,440 Speaker 4: Declan think. He dug through his bag and pulled out 140 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 4: a single chip and held it in the air, trying 141 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 4: to entice a friend onto his boat so he wouldn't 142 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:14,079 Speaker 4: be lonely. 143 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 5: Here's Segall, here's Segall, I have a chip. 144 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,680 Speaker 4: No seagull took him up on his offer. In fact, 145 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 4: one Loan, seagull flew over his head and right on 146 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 4: his hand that was holding the chip. Declan stared at 147 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:34,199 Speaker 4: his hand for a second in disbelief. Did that seagull 148 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 4: just pooh on my hand? 149 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 5: Ah? 150 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 4: Declan began laughing so hard. This was hilarious to Declan. 151 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 4: Out of all of the places in the gray wide ocean. 152 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 4: The bird could have pooed. It hit Declan right in 153 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 4: the hand holding the chip direct hit well. Like Dad 154 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 4: always said, if a bird poops on you, that's good luck. 155 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:02,839 Speaker 4: I knew luck was with me all day, but I 156 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:07,079 Speaker 4: kept doubting it. I'll get back home somehow. Declan looked 157 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 4: around at the landscape. It's incredible. He stood up on 158 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:16,679 Speaker 4: the boat. I'm standing on water. I'm in the open ocean. 159 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 4: The breeze is different, the waves are different, the smells 160 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 4: are different. Even the birds pooping on me is different. 161 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 4: I'm so proud of me. Declan sits back down and 162 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 4: admires his surroundings. He takes in the peacefulness of solitude. 163 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 4: He goes to grab a sandwich out of his bag, 164 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 4: but realizes he needs to wash his hands off first. 165 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 4: He scoots to the side of the boat and hangs 166 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 4: over the boat to wash his hands when he's frightened 167 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 4: by a huge figure looming below his boat. Boop, it's 168 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 4: his dad, Dad, What are you doing here? You think 169 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 4: I was gonna let you go out here by yourself. 170 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 4: I had that bird poop on you too, for coming 171 00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:01,320 Speaker 4: out here alone. No you didn't, Dad. Yep, his name's Carl, 172 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 4: and he can hit a bull's eye from one hundred 173 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 4: and fifty feet in the air, So this better not 174 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 4: happen again because Carl has a posse. I'm sorry, Dad, 175 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,959 Speaker 4: I just couldn't take it anymore. I had to get 176 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 4: out here. 177 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 5: Dec Lann. I was watching you the entire time. You 178 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 5: were incredible. I'm so proud of you. 179 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 3: Deck. 180 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 5: You did everything right. 181 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,440 Speaker 4: You soared through the ocean, you sailed the great seas, 182 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 4: you braved the waves, you nailed the sail, You brave 183 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 4: the Okay, Dad, Okay, I get it, Deck. Seriously, I 184 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 4: couldn't be more proud of you. That was very heroic. 185 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 4: But if you ever take off without letting your mother 186 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 4: and I know where you're going again, you'll be grounded 187 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 4: for life. What if something would have happened and you 188 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 4: needed us, we had no idea where you were, Deck, Dad, 189 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 4: I'm old enough now, you are absolutely old enough to 190 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,079 Speaker 4: know that, no matter what age you are, we will 191 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:11,680 Speaker 4: always want to know where you are. Just in case, Sorry, Dad, 192 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:17,679 Speaker 4: I'll let you know from now on. Promise, Promise. Now, 193 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 4: hand me one of those sandwiches. I'm starving, but wash 194 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 4: your hands first. Declan's dad hops up into the sailboat, 195 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 4: bringing his stand up paddleboard into the boat as well. 196 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 4: Declan hands his dad a sandwich and an apple. His 197 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 4: dad sits down and enjoys the open ocean with Declan. 198 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 4: After a while of enjoying their lunch in the ocean, 199 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 4: Declan's dad says, all right, Dick, get us home. 200 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 5: Huh huh what? 201 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 2: Uh? 202 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 4: I'm not really sure how to get us back home? 203 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,720 Speaker 4: So what was your plan when you were out here alone? 204 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 4: I hadn't gotten that far. So you had the plan 205 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,200 Speaker 4: to up on the sailboat take it out to the 206 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 4: open ocean, but you didn't have a plan on how 207 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 4: to get back in. What I thought it was the 208 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 4: same as getting out here. And what did you find out? 209 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,839 Speaker 4: That the wind pushes you out, but it won't push 210 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 4: you back in. So, in other words, the wind pushes 211 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 4: in one direction. Yes, so how can you use the 212 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:31,559 Speaker 4: wind to your advantage? Hmmm, I'm not sure. So this 213 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,559 Speaker 4: is where we'll learn. So you'll have to put your 214 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 4: sales back up. And what we're going to do is 215 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 4: we're going to cut in. Declan's dad went on explaining 216 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 4: to his son how to sail into the wind by 217 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:46,679 Speaker 4: cutting back and forth. His dad sat and coached Declan, 218 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,200 Speaker 4: not raising a hand. He wanted his son to get 219 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,960 Speaker 4: the boat back all by himself. Trust me when I 220 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:58,720 Speaker 4: say it took all day, a great deal of frustration, 221 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 4: and a bag for fowl of food was empty by 222 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 4: the time they made it back to the marina. But 223 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,679 Speaker 4: it was a great lesson from a great father. Declan 224 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 4: learned all he could about sailing that day. He had 225 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 4: no idea how difficult sailing could be, nor did he 226 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 4: know that there were such advanced strategies. Even though it 227 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 4: was a difficult journey back, Declan was elated when he 228 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 4: made it back to the dock all by himself. He 229 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 4: was so proud of himself for making it out to sea, 230 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 4: but he was over the moon that he made it 231 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 4: back himself. His confidence was higher than ever. That night, 232 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 4: when he laid down in bed, he was so proud 233 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 4: of himself that he didn't think he could ever get 234 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 4: to sleep. But then he realized he still felt the 235 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 4: gentle rocking of the boat, and before he knew it, 236 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 4: he was fast asleep. 237 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 5: The end. 238 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 3: Wow, oh, what a story. Facing the unknown can be 239 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 3: pretty intimidating, but through these experiences, it seems like we 240 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 3: can discover our true strength and resilience. Don't you think? 241 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 5: Ah? 242 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 3: Part two is everything and more? Boy was I comfy 243 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 3: and cozy and all tuned in.
