21
00:01:03,285 --> 00:01:06,485
Speaker 2: I was angry and apparently there was no time for

22
00:01:06,525 --> 00:01:11,125
Speaker 2: me to prefeed there. I have to be honest, I

23
00:01:11,165 --> 00:01:15,205
Speaker 2: had one of the worst public mountdowns ever had Toddler.

24
00:01:16,045 --> 00:01:19,645

25
00:01:20,285 --> 00:01:22,205
Speaker 2: I could apologize to my wife. I don't know, I can't.

26
00:01:22,245 --> 00:01:23,245
Speaker 2: I can't get out of this.

27
00:01:24,485 --> 00:01:26,285
Speaker 1: No, I meant I can't get out of this.

28
00:01:27,045 --> 00:01:30,005
Speaker 2: The big thing I did right. My wife is constantly

29
00:01:30,085 --> 00:01:33,205
Speaker 2: running late. So I got there like before her, and

30
00:01:33,245 --> 00:01:35,645
Speaker 2: I need to get a desk for myself. So I

31

38
00:01:58,365 --> 00:02:00,685
Speaker 2: And then I go to an employee, how do I
