Shannon (01:08.78)
Hehehe.
Shannon (01:15.932)
Yes.
Shannon (01:22.956)
I can't believe it. I can't believe it. Hehehehe
Shun (01:36.422)
Opposites don't always attract. I don't know about some of you, but I've found sometimes that opposites sometimes end up being the same people. And this is where we have to learn to leave the cliches to the wind, you know? But, you know, we all know there are some exceptions and sometimes it does work. We just don't want, we just want people to be careful not to stay stuck in a situation because mama and them thought we were good together, you know? So.
Shannon (01:40.576)
Mmm.
Shannon (01:48.134)
Yeah.
Shannon (02:06.026)
Right, right. Yep. Oh, yeah.
Shun (02:06.338)
He's hot and I'm cold, you know, whatever it is Shannon, you know that makes people think you know We got to be held hostage in a relationship because we're opposites or because we're not so we're gonna touch on both of those So now I thought in my case and you know as someone who was wild and confrontational And just downright loud at times, you know when I kept getting it wrong, you know You guys have heard me say I'm gonna found me a nice Nella fella the devil. That was an epic fail. Okay
Shannon (02:19.709)
Right, right.
Shannon (02:32.652)
He he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he
Shun (02:35.298)
I just kept hurting men's feelings because this mouth is vicious baby and those mild mannered men So, you know started back to date men to match my personality because I can admit at times I need a reality check and I need to be brought back around sometimes This mouth used to get real bad baby But none of those tactics, you know Shannon were really successful. So I dispelled all the notions, right?
Shannon (02:47.509)
Yeah.
Shannon (02:57.341)
Hehehehe
Shannon (03:02.008)
Right, right. Yeah, yeah.
Shun (03:04.278)
finding my opposite or my match because I realized none of that really matters. Now Shanna, I remember you saying, yeah, I was just gonna say I remember you saying like you guys were opposite. So does that chemistry work for you guys or do it like bump sometimes?
Shannon (03:09.096)
Mm-hmm, right. And for...
Yeah, go ahead.
Shannon (03:18.352)
Yeah, yeah, so yeah, me and my husband were definitely opposites. When you look at us from the outside, you're like, okay, you know, I like to sit in the corner. I remember way back even way before him, me and my best friend at the time. And we would go to parties and things. And I'd sit in a corner. And afterwards, the next day, she'd say, did you have a good time? And I'm like, oh, yeah, I had a ball. She said, I couldn't tell. She said, you just sat there the whole night. I'm like, yeah, but that was me having a good time. That's how I had a good time.
Shun (04:04.174)
I'm going to go ahead and close the video.
Shun (04:09.12)
Right.
Shannon (04:10.228)
Just observing I just love to sit in the corner and look at people and I remember dating guys that didn't get with that They were like, oh, you're so boring. Oh my god. You just want to sit in the corner and I'm thinking okay, so I need to meet somebody that likes to sit in a corner with me. Well, that didn't work either Cuz they bored the hell out of me. I'm like Sitting over here with me. I want you Yes, so yeah
Shun (04:29.764)
See, that's what I'm saying.
Shun (04:35.586)
I'm already in the corner. Walk across the room so I can watch you.
Shannon (04:41.3)
Exactly. So yeah, I could never date a quiet person like me or a person that wanted to be an introvert But let me let me um uh Say something else about being the introvert or whatever when you're looking at that quiet person sitting over in the corner They got a whole lot Going on within them and i'm one of those and I have to admit that while i'm sitting there looking like
I'm this innocent this whatever. Oh, she's so quiet. So shy I had so much bubbling in me That until you met that person That brought all of this out of you You didn't you didn't know it. So when I met my husband, he was like, oh you crazy No one else saw crazy. He got to see crazy. He got to see the person that everybody else. Oh, she's a little quiet
Shun (05:32.179)
Thank you.
Shannon (05:39.888)
You know girl or whatever. She's someone you could beat up on she's someone you could you know talk any way to or whatever but when Exactly. I wasn't a pushover until I met that person That said, you know, I'm gonna try and do this to you and I'm like wait a minute. I'm gonna show you I'm gonna show you who I am and now all of a sudden I'm the crazy person. So
Shun (05:46.894)
Push over.
Shun (06:02.946)
Now you've done that as quiet as you thought I was and like it's like we said though So sometimes like that with you and baby daddy, you know, you said we bored each other So sometimes being the exact same person is not good and sometimes, you know, it is but either way, you know You bump heads because if you're too quiet people again, like you said, you're gonna end up getting on each other's nerves, but then
Shannon (06:05.26)
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Shannon (06:10.952)
Yeah, yeah we did, we did.
Shannon (06:20.808)
Yeah, yeah.
Shun (06:25.586)
In your case now with you and husband now, it's like, okay now I'm not quiet I'm not as quiet as he wants me to be so now we're bumping heads because of that too, you know, so again Notions being dispelled just find your person. No, no matter what their personality may you know, I should say I learned that one Was correct, you know People who are quiet in nature in general don't Don't mix well with me just because I'm just too loud You know, it was I told you to the point where my one ex-husband would be like you just hurt my
Shannon (06:33.5)
Right, right.
Shannon (06:38.336)
by your person.
Shannon (06:51.613)
Hehehehe
Shun (06:55.082)
your mouth is just crazy. And I really wasn't trying, that's just like, that's just my nature. But again, that was something like you said that had to come out and meet, you know, that has to be worked out within yourself. So, you know, strong personality, yeah, that's me, but crazy. Yeah, we'll need to like, let it all, we'll need to let it go all the way, Shannon, you know what I'm saying? So yeah, welcome. And I found that with the husband now, like he's kind of quiet in nature.
Shannon (06:56.736)
Ha ha ha.
Shannon (07:06.11)
Right.
Shannon (07:13.9)
I know, I know.
Shun (07:20.13)
But when I rise up too much, then he rise up and it's like, welcome to a freaking night in my house, okay? So again, I can admit at times, you know, I do need a reality check, but you know, hey, it's life. The most important thing is, I think Shannon was what we say on the show constantly, find out who you are. And then you can deal with anybody else who comes into your life. Don't worry about your opposite. Don't worry about if they're the same.
Shannon (07:25.98)
Right.
Shannon (07:33.525)
Yeah.
Shannon (07:39.624)
Yeah, know yourself.
Right, right.
Shun (07:47.511)
Find out who you are and then you will attract and draw what you need to draw.
Shannon (07:51.464)
Yeah. And when people say, be your authentic self, you know, everyone has all these different slogans and you know, these, uh, affirmations that they are authentic self and they repeat this when they're looking in the mirror every day. It's like, come on, you know, if you're saying this, then believe it. If that's really what you want to be. But we know.
Most of the people that we know and people like us that look like us that operate in our world They can repeat that to themselves every day But when they get in a relationship That authentic self Dies they die to that person they become Who that person wants them to be and we talked about this a couple of podcasts ago where When I brought up the friend that didn't like football
All of a sudden she's the number one football fan because they want to be in a relationship so badly They're like, okay And and not saying that football could be their number one thing that could be their whatever it could one day become their passion All i'm saying is don't stop Really being who you are for someone because at the end of the day when they walk away if they walk away
Shun (08:48.162)
Mm-hmm.
Shannon (09:16.564)
What are you left with a version of them? You're left with a version of them instead of a version of yourself so Stop the Affirmations in the mirror or keep them up if you want to be often if you're going to keep them up believe it Don't just say it and have something to play with the same way people that go to church every sunday and swear up and down You know amen and rolling on the floor every time the preacher say something
Shun (09:20.983)
Right.
Shannon (09:44.312)
And then they go out and do the opposite of what they've been rolling on the floor and amen and two and say oh god Still working on me Yeah, of course god is still working on you, but don't play Don't play exactly
Shun (09:54.23)
What at one Sunday got a kick in we can't do it every Sunday, you know what? but And I totally read everything you just said, but I'm gonna also say this when you said people not the authentic selves and they you know sometimes though people know Just trying to get the right words to say sometimes people Reflect the image of you. Oh, you know or you can reflect the image of yourself that they want you to be right? and they will tell themselves like
Shannon (10:17.553)
Oh, that's true.
Shannon (10:21.986)
Mm-hmm.
Shun (10:23.042)
This is this nice sweet girl like people most of the guys I dated look at me, but like she's country She's my man. She's me. That's the image you gave me until they tried me and then I set it off and then now I'm this Oh, no, I can't be with her. She loud No, that's what I always was but that's the image you created in your mind of who I was and that's just not who I am So that could be you know, it can go either way But I think it's best if you both find each other You know what I'm saying? Let the images of each other die. Like you said late true authentic something
Shannon (10:32.872)
Right.
Shannon (10:38.197)
Yeah, yeah.
Hehehe
Shannon (10:46.3)
Right, right.
Shun (10:52.406)
We discussed also a few episodes ago. You don't send the crazy person on the first date or the loud girl on the first date You know, we want to drop in a little bit You don't want to fake but you don't want to let all your secrets out Like I said your bunions you wait, you don't do all that take all that off from the first date, you know but still don't give a fake version of yourself, you know what I'm saying, but don't employ your Infraction or your image of a person unto them and then say well, you're not who I thought you was
Shannon (11:01.992)
Yeah, yeah. Right.
Right.
That's true.
Shun (11:19.826)
No, that's the thing you thought that's who I was find out who I am before we make these serious commitments Find out who you're committing to You know what i'm saying? And until that day come you're just gonna be living in hell you go create this image of a person or if you sell An image of yourself as a person and it comes down to reality Then you're gonna be living in hell because neither one of you are with a real person, right? So I found that out at the years of drag out matches
Shannon (11:28.85)
Right.
Shannon (11:42.717)
Yeah, that's true.
Shun (11:46.582)
Like with my husband now, like I just retreated one day, you know We sat down and I came to come around and I explained to him. I Was looking for someone to keep me in check, but I don't need anyone to keep me in check I needed him to just play his part as a man, right and that naturally wanted me to be soft and play my part as a woman So men, you know take your place as the head follow the word forget about all these images the opposites the hot and cold Follow the word
and leading guide your households the way that it should be. And women, you take your place, you know, as a sweet partner and give him all the support he needs or asked for, but don't try and take his role. Because I found out quick, personally, I don't want the role of the man, okay? I was more than happy to relinquish my strong woman black card, okay? So we just have to decide and find out who we are as people. Like, if everyone would play their role, it doesn't matter about the opposites.
Shannon (12:38.047)
Yeah.
Shannon (12:42.12)
Yeah, and I'm still working on that, you know, even with my husband and in a lot of people. Yeah. Yeah Right and a lot of people be surprised because basically if you met us in person you were like, okay He's a dominant one and a lot of my family when I first introduced him They didn't like him. They're oh my god, because they look at me. It's this little soft little whatever Like oh my he must be beating her. He must be doing all because my husband you seen him
Shun (12:45.726)
Oh absolutely, it's always going to be a work in progress.
Shannon (13:11.696)
He's an intimidating looking dude. They're like, oh she shouldn't be with him They were afraid for me and I'm like what because it's you know, it's not what you see and then also You know, I look at you know our topic is opposites don't always attract and that's a lot of times true when it comes to
Shun (13:19.886)
I'm going to go ahead and close the video.
Shannon (13:40.756)
Look at our health and I'm going to switch it up a little bit. You know, when you're around, like they say, if you have, and I hate to touch on the obesity. So if you're obese and your friends are obese, you know, you have all that in common. Or your spouse, you have that in common. Is that good? The fact that you're the same, you know, whatever? No.
It's not sometimes you need that opposite to kind of pull you out of where you Whatever lifestyle. I don't care if it's obesity or if it's doing drugs say you're a heroin addict Of course, you're going to be drawn to that heroin addict and you're like, oh we're good and you know, whatever You need that opposite like our topic says um You need someone to pull you out and Yeah
Shun (14:36.451)
That's it.
Shannon (14:38.272)
to pull you out of it and don't always try to gravitate towards, Oh, this is a, this is a comfortable spot. This is the guy that I'm used to like back in the day when I was in my twenties and I'll tell everyone, you know, before I got on the straight and narrow, all I dated were drug dealers. That's what I wanted. That was a lot. And everyone looks at me like, Oh, not her, not Shannon. Oh, she's so, she's so sweet or whatever.
But yeah, that's the life I wanted. Because I was so sweet and quiet from South Dakota, it's like, oh no. Exactly. Yeah.
Shun (15:12.786)
You want it you wanted the drama you want it loud you wanted excitement But that's why we say that that's why we developed this title because we knew we would shoot it from many different angles When we say opposites don't always attract well, you were quiet. You were mika. Whatever you were attracted that kind of guy But had you stayed that way what that led you to a good life? You get what i'm saying? So when I say opposites don't always attract it Those are the kind of thing that we're trying to get everyone to understand
Shannon (15:21.448)
Yeah, right.
Shannon (15:33.369)
All right, no. Mm-hmm.
Shannon (15:39.886)
Exactly.
Shun (15:41.754)
He would those guys were your opposites because it gave you excitement gave you another look at life But it was not a good look you were headed to and girl, you know, i've had my share everybody read my books so y'all know I don't let the talk like but Again had we stayed on that same mindset on that same path would be would we be where we are today? And i'm just so happy that we chose to come back around so that now we can help people Get away from that type of life, you know get away from it. Like it's cool. It's fun. It seems exciting young ladies
Shannon (15:48.392)
now.
Shun (16:11.102)
It doesn't end well. It never ends well So if you are nice quiet girl, and I just want to go get me an opposite It doesn't always mean that's a good thing. So that's great that you brought out the other side is good Good jump off in there. I like that because we when we do titles, we like to explore not just relationships anything in life, you know, we hope that these podcasts and we hope that these Episodes give you something to compare to anything like this Like I said, some people may not be married some people not want to get married. They may not have kids
Shannon (16:12.613)
No, it doesn't.
Shannon (16:20.684)
Bye.
Shannon (16:30.569)
Yeah.
Shannon (16:40.724)
Right.
Shun (16:41.086)
So we try to give you something that you can apply anything in life You know if you are just a nice quiet person and it not even talk about relationship Don't go hang with girls who stripping if you don't you know if you because you want it because I was just That will attract you but is that really what you want to lead to a no dig on them? Because girl if I ever had the body, okay, I think it's honey I think it's quite sexy, but nobody never allowed that you know
Shannon (16:45.056)
Yeah.
Shannon (16:51.244)
Hehehe
Shannon (16:58.624)
All right, yeah, no, don't dig.
Shannon (17:03.912)
Yeah, mine either.
Shun (17:05.038)
Ain't got no booty and I can't hold up on no pole. I don't care when I was 100 pounds I couldn't hold up on the pole. But so again, we're not knocking anyone here good strippers. God bless I'd like to see y'all sometimes but it's an art But again, if you want to go to law school and you know, you're a nice quiet girl Don't go get into that life because it's easier or the money's quicker. That's that's what I'm getting at. So Good jump
Shannon (17:13.677)
Not at all.
Shannon (17:23.296)
Right. Yeah. And for a lot of the girls that, you know, you and I both know, because I had a best friend at one time who was a stripper. That was her thing. And she tried to pull me into that life. Luckily, I was strong enough to say, you know, no, I'm not doing this. But it didn't make me walk away from her. Yeah. And I was.
Shun (17:46.55)
Look at her and it's yeah, look at her any different. That's what she chose. You know, that's what you do
Shannon (17:51.228)
Yeah, exactly. And I was strong enough in my own, you know, self. And that's what I need people to understand too. Be strong enough. There's, there's no dollar that's going to be more powerful than who you are. And our, um, culture and our, um, history has pretty much told us everything can be bought and sold.
Shun (18:07.758)
That's right.
Shannon (18:19.156)
You know, everything has a price and it doesn't. Sometimes you just walk away. It's like leave that dollar on the table. I don't care if you need your electricity paid or whatever, go sit in the dark before you do something that's gonna compromise exactly who you are. Don't do it, don't do it. Simply because the friends you're with or the people that you're attracted to are saying this is the way to go.
Shun (18:35.536)
So, it's a bet.
Shannon (18:46.624)
Cause I could have gone so many ways if I would have listened to every drug dealer I dated every drug dealer stole from that could have killed me at any point. Cause I'm thinking I'm smarter than they are. You know, let me, I can, I can do this. I can do that. Not realizing I could be caught up any moment. I could have done so many things that harmed me and I was more naive than everyone else. So anybody else on the street, my girl would have told me my girls on the streets would have told me You know, no you're doing it wrong Shannon You don't do that because I didn't have any street cred street knowledge or whatever I'm doing stupid stuff that I should have been you know caught up in or you know paid for to this day Well, luckily by the or not luckily. I'm sorry by grace not luck
Shun (19:42.978)
But but grace But by the grace there you go, baby, but by the grace
Shannon (19:47.136)
But by the grace of God, no, yeah, because I had a praying mother and I believed in God my whole life, it's like, you know, I'm out of those situations. But for those of you who are listening, thinking, you know, I'm with these people that I feel comfortable with and we're on this same path, be different, if you gotta be different.
If you have to step away from that mate that you're with because you want something different, it's okay. Know yourself deep down that you are different than that. It doesn't matter the mindset and people wanna make excuses and give you reasons why you're here. Oh, you're here because who cares? The because, how are you getting out? I don't care why you're there. How are you getting out?
Shun (20:19.519)
Okay.
Shannon (20:42.804)
That's what you need to think about.
Shun (20:45.598)
It's a fact and if you're the opposite that don't attract so be it just get on your path and stay on your path Good very good point. So what we'll leave you all with this tonight family opposites attract Opposites don't always attract it's just the same that could be applied in any theory in life You know, and this isn't a golden rule for choosing a mate and don't let anyone try and convince you You need this kind of man or this kind of woman
Shannon (20:50.571)
Yeah.
Right.
Shun (21:13.246)
As we tell you, God has a set time for you to meet the set one that is spiritually and emotionally predestined to walk with you in this thing called life, right? Men live as husbands before you find your wives, and women live like wives before your husbands find you. And I promise you, you will avoid a lot of drama, heartache, and turmoil. Shannon and I have said during this podcast, grace has kept us from some of the things that we most certainly deserved.
Shannon (21:13.632)
Right.
Shun (21:41.75)
But if you don't know God, you don't have a relationship, you're gonna have to depend on you until you find him. So make wise decision. Don't ever think you're doing the right thing. Don't ever think doing the right thing will mean no trouble or no heartache either now. Life is tough, right? And to live and to trying to live is one, it makes it even tougher. But when you're going through with the right one, it makes it all worth it. Opposite or not, ask me how I know.
Shannon (21:55.199)
All right.
Shannon (22:01.589)
Right.
Shannon (22:06.028)
Yeah, right. Yep, opposite or not. Opposite or not. Yeah.
Shun (22:14.349)
All right. So we'll move on to tonight's red line.
Shannon (22:20.496)
into our red lines. Here we go.
Shun (22:26.274)
Alright tonight's red line tip is play your part now I chose that title from the most famous the best ever made temp denouncement anthem of all time the international players anthem by UGK I'm dropping and I'm bopping in my seat. Y'all just thinking about it. Yeah No, y'all know I love the Lord now is I live righteous, but there's just a little bit
Shannon (22:48.815)
Ha ha
Shun (22:54.046)
Little bit of hood that's always been this chick y'all. I mean, I'm not I can't ever be fake I'm just careful to feed my spirit more so she don't rise up, you know until absolutely necessary But she she's still in there, but we don't pray for it But as I was saying play your part in a relationship folks as I just said in the wrap-up opposite or not Whatever your role is in a relationship. Just be careful not to overstep that that's what we need to be worried about as this
Shannon (22:55.288)
Oh yeah, ain't nothing wrong with that.
Shun (23:20.678)
Um keeps things, you know in smooth order for everyone involved I'm not going to get deep into the red line topic tonight because I have an assignment for you all When you get off of this episode is it immediately after you get off this episode? I want everyone to go look up and play ugk International's players anthem your ears will thank me later shannon. I don't know. I know you probably never heard it, but
Shannon (23:35.266)
I'm going to go to bed.
Shannon (23:45.267)

Shannon (29:54.86)
Mm-hmm. Okay. All right, so here we go to our final segment of the night. It is the fictional family, the fictional family I'm feeling. And the fictional family I'm feeling tonight comes from the sitcom starring Anna Faris. And in this particular episode, her and her ex, she has an ex-husband.
who is the father of her child. He's coming to pick up his son for a visit. And he comes to the door and he's all dressed up in a suit and she's not used to seeing him this way. And the reason why is because when they were married and they got together, they got together because they had a common love. And that was their love of drugs. They were both drug addicts.
So they were completely the same. And then she realized her life needed to change. So she got off drugs. So then they became opposites. And therefore they got divorced, but he kept down his same path. So when he shows up at her door and he's dressed up, she's like, oh, what happened to you? He says, oh, I met someone. And she said, what? And he said, yes, I met this woman named Candice.
And she's changed my life. She's turned me around Now I don't want to do drugs now have this job now i'm doing all these things all the things That he couldn't do With his ex who's standing there looking at him with her mouth open The father of her children is now on the straight and narrow path and you wonder why and She was flabbergasted And anyone else that was watching
Like the rest of us were like, oh, what in the world? But I thought about it. I'm like, OK. He didn't want to do it for her because she was the same as him. He looked at his ex like, OK, we're both two drug addicts. We do this together. So I'm not trying to change for you. Even though his drug addict wife was able to make a change in her life, he needed a totally outside person to say, hey, this is what I need you to do.
Shannon (32:22.396)
Now we don't know from that point forward if you know that really changed his life however, it did get him out of a situation and Therefore he needed an opposite. So even though the two Same people attracted in the beginning like him and his ex she became an opposite as well as The new woman he's with is an opposite
Shun (32:46.678)
He became an officer.
Shannon (32:52.828)
So think about what's best for you and what you need in your life and not the things that keep you down. And look at the influences. Like for example, if his ex-wife would have stayed on the path that she was on and he would have stayed on the path that he was on, they were both drug addicts, what good is that?
They both needed opposites in order to get out of the situation that they were in. And that's the fictional family.
Shun (33:26.418)
Yep, and they were probably I'm, sorry, baby. I was saying that would probably Let them know we're fast had they stayed on the same path, right? and in that case Opposites don't always attract as the title in that case offices is what they needed Thus when they were the same person they were no good to each other Again, leave the cliches in the wind. It's really no Recipe to a good relationship besides being your authentic self
Shannon (33:34.072)
Exactly right.
Shannon (33:49.288)
Yeah...
Shannon (33:54.764)
How authentic self.
Shun (33:55.366)
and letting the universe bring back what you put out.
Shannon (34:00.572)
Yeah, and not being comfortable. Right, and not being comfortable. I think where we get, we're like, oh, this person is for me because we're good together in the same stuff, in the same crap, in the same mess. There you go. I'm just trying to find the right PC word. You know, trying to, you know, we're in the same mess. We're just sitting here.
Shun (34:00.898)
So make sure you're putting out good stuff.
Shun (34:16.826)
mess. Crap and mess is the same word.
Shannon (34:30.62)
And we're not getting anywhere. Why? If y'all are both the same And you're thinking oh, we're this This power couple we're doing or whatever and you're not you're going nowhere fast Are you really? You know, are you really meant to be with that person or if you're really are you really doing anything? I guess that's what i'm really trying to say What are you doing?
Shun (34:57.666)
What are you doing? Cut fictional family. Good fictional family. I dig that.
Shannon (34:59.06)
