Unknown
We're back, baby. Season three. Let's go, Derek. What's up? Heck, yeah. How are you doing, Mike? It's great to be back. It feels like we've taken two years off, even though it's only been our normal season cycle here. But a lot of stuff. I know, right? It's. You know what I think it was? It's because we didn't really come out with

00:00:52:23 - 00:00:54:27
Unknown
a spring spring addition.

00:00:54:27 - 00:01:12:27
Unknown
Normally we kind of, you know, do a few episodes in our spring. But yeah, our last episode officially was last year of November of 2022. So it's been a minute, but it's good seeing a familiar face. Not saying, I didn't see you here all summer, but

00:01:12:27 - 00:01:19:18
Unknown
you know, always great seeing you on the other end. Absolutely. Yeah. I just feel like I saw you a couple of weeks ago, but.

00:01:19:18 - 00:01:20:01
Unknown
So,

00:01:20:01 - 00:01:40:03
Unknown
yeah, I guess you want to go over our agenda that we're kind of putting forth here coming into season three. I know we're kind of already into the recording process and everything line and stuff up, even though this is the official launch here, this episode. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, this is what you're going to really expect on Everyday Joes Season three.

00:01:40:03 - 00:02:05:24
Unknown
So in life, sometimes you got to take one step back in order to take two steps forward, right? So that's kind of what Derek and I did. We reevaluated everything, kind of seen where we wanted to do really realized our strengths and weaknesses from both of us. And that's why we're back. Because in life you're going to have struggles, you're going to have adversity.

00:02:05:26 - 00:02:08:23
Unknown
Sometimes you just have to wheel that back in

00:02:08:23 - 00:02:19:23
Unknown
and really break down a pros and cons list, like something like that. You know, pros cons of doing something is a easy way to

00:02:19:23 - 00:02:32:12
Unknown
figure out a solution. You can also do like a ranked system ranking the highest priority of goals that you want to accomplish that helps out as well.

00:02:32:15 - 00:02:32:29
Unknown
But

00:02:32:29 - 00:02:34:11
Unknown
long story short,

00:02:34:11 - 00:03:03:26
Unknown
you know, Derek and I realize we just need a lot more people. So we've been reaching out, lining up guests. So essentially in September, we're going to have to we're going to have one guest in September, and then we're going to have four guests in October, four in November, four in December, four and January four and February four in March,

00:03:03:26 - 00:03:05:15
Unknown
and then four in April.

00:03:05:15 - 00:03:23:01
Unknown
And then kind of then we're going to take the summer off, you know, because both of us travel a lot, see family, friends and whatnot. And that's what life is about. You know, you got to have your go to work life balance. You can't just work, work, work. You got to have some play in there as well. Right there.

00:03:23:02 - 00:03:33:03
Unknown
Yeah, absolutely. We love that plan. Oh, yes, absolutely. So, yeah. So essentially, we'll have some very high level guests.

00:03:33:03 - 00:03:34:21
Unknown
I don't want to, you know,

00:03:34:21 - 00:03:47:07
Unknown
say spill too much of the tea out there, but we're going to have a lot of people that have had some problems with

00:03:47:07 - 00:03:50:07
Unknown
illnesses, diseases,

00:03:50:07 - 00:04:00:08
Unknown
some overall life struggles as far as maybe financial struggles or just trying to figure out

00:04:00:08 - 00:04:02:24
Unknown
the path in life of where they want to go.

00:04:02:26 - 00:04:29:11
Unknown
We're going to we're going to keep it open this season, but obviously, we're always going to tie it back to that nontraditional path to success. So something that they've cam overcame in their life, some adversity, and then they've found overall success. It doesn't have to be financial success, but however they define success. So, Derek, why don't you catch the

00:04:29:11 - 00:04:37:04
Unknown
the listeners up on year like Summer and what you've been doing kind of the past like nine, ten months?

00:04:37:06 - 00:04:38:07
Unknown
Yeah, for sure.

00:04:38:07 - 00:04:38:23
Unknown
Well, I guess

00:04:38:23 - 00:04:59:20
Unknown
not to spill too much of Mike's story here, I guess, for what he's been up to because a lot of our lives pretty intertwined here. But, you know, Mike, Mike's absolutely true and right about kind of reevaluating things. I mean, if we're being truly transparent, there was a moment where, like Mike and I just talked about like just stopping and quitting, I guess, if you will, and,

00:04:59:20 - 00:05:07:26
Unknown
you know, just taking some time off, reevaluate and, you know, first couple of season, you know, like Mike and I had a vision and a dream, if you will, for what we wanted this to be.

00:05:07:26 - 00:05:15:19
Unknown
And we kind of just you weren't getting the results. You know, we come from sales backgrounds where you look at the metrics, you

00:05:15:19 - 00:05:30:09
Unknown
do certain things, and if you're not getting the results, you know, it's time to, you know, try, fail it or just or, you know, just shift directions altogether. So there's a few months there where, you know, Mike and I got busy doing our own stuff with our work, our family and relationships and things like that.

00:05:30:11 - 00:05:46:29
Unknown
I actually got back into downhill skiing this last year. I hadn't had a season pass at our local downhill skiing facility for probably 15 years, so that was a thing I really wanted to get back into. Going through a divorces and college and stuff like that. I just couldn't afford to be in all the sports I like to.

00:05:47:00 - 00:06:16:22
Unknown
So I, I overindulged this year. I was probably up at the ski two or three times a week, sometimes. I mean, I went over three times ski and which kind of transitioned into, you know, my love for, you know, the audio visual and social media type stuff. Mike got me into doing Tiktoks for, for our podcasting stuff. And as long as I was, you know, still filming, I had my GoPros and I'm Ski and I met a bunch of know people that we were doing some fun stuff, going off jobs and just doing some some fun little things on our own.

00:06:16:22 - 00:06:32:25
Unknown
So I kept kept that going. So I've got a another social media channel. Derek in the Wild that, you know, I post a lot of my adventures outside of work. As you know, Mike and I always talk about work hard, play hard, and we definitely do that. But it's just my fun little area to kind of capture what I'm doing.

00:06:32:25 - 00:06:34:19
Unknown
And and if you do jump on that

00:06:34:19 - 00:06:54:19
Unknown
that channel and follow some of our stuff, I'm on Facebook as well as Derek in the Wild and Instagram. Mike, obviously he's been on a bunch of that because he's been involved with a lot of my adventures over the summer as well, But that's really what I've been doing. The the big news is, is I turned 40 this year, so we, we did the big four.

00:06:54:19 - 00:07:16:15
Unknown
Oh, we definitely celebrated that. Mike surprised us, flew up here to Wisconsin and celebrated with us. We had a a great showing of friends and family. And I think for my time I can't speak for Mike, but my time away from podcasting this last year has just been, you know, sometimes you just got to take take back a step or two and just kind of listen and just see what what the universe is telling you.

00:07:16:15 - 00:07:38:15
Unknown
And for me, just, you know, having my pivotal birthday and being around really close friends and family and just having some time apart. And there was another life event that I let Mike talk about, but really just seeing a lot of our fans that, you know, we have a lot of friends and family that watch some of our stuff and, you know, kind of help us as far as pointers, you know, how to get better because that's what we're always trying to do.

00:07:38:15 - 00:07:58:21
Unknown
Me and Mike is try to get better. You know, if we can do this, we can we can tweak that and become the our best version. But just really seeing a lot of, you know, friends and family that really came to us like, hey, when are you going to get another episode going? And yeah, I didn't want to be like, Well, we're actually thinking of quitting and whatnot, but that's just some of the feelings that we were we were feeling.

00:07:58:21 - 00:08:14:21
Unknown
But it was overwhelming. Coming into the third season that Mike and I both were just like, We can't let this die. This is something that is has been impacting people. So if we can impact one person, we can impact thousands. So that's where our vision really is to keep pushing forward and get some great guests on here, too.

00:08:14:21 - 00:08:18:06
Unknown
We don't have all the answers. We're not multimillionaires by any means, but

00:08:18:06 - 00:08:35:17
Unknown
we're just excited to get more guests that are influential and impactful and can help people at whatever level they're at. You know, like Mike always talks about those people in the middle or that are looking for those nontraditional pathways and and looking for some inspiration to keep them going.

00:08:35:21 - 00:08:50:22
Unknown
Yeah, I love that, Derek. You know, I really love the fact that you really took a deep dive into the audio and visual aspect because, you know, people don't know my background, your background and stuff like that.

00:08:50:22 - 00:08:52:06
Unknown
Long story short,

00:08:52:06 - 00:09:03:18
Unknown
you give me car parts and whatnot and. And a toolset I got. I got nothing for you,

00:09:03:18 - 00:09:10:05
Unknown
but you give me, you know, computer parts and computer programs and whatnot.

00:09:10:07 - 00:09:29:22
Unknown
I'll fix it right up. But well, versus Derek. Derek's the opposite. He's very hands on mechanical, you know, That's how he is. He's a very fix it mixer, fix it type of guy. And I'm I'm not I'm more of the technical side so I didn't know where you're going with that metaphor at first You like give me some car parts.

00:09:29:22 - 00:09:31:15
Unknown
I'm like, what are you talking about?

00:09:31:15 - 00:09:48:26
Unknown
Hey, got to keep our listeners off guard, you know? And so they're constantly I always finding out what who we are as individuals, because that's really what we want to do is we want to highlight who we are as individuals,

00:09:48:26 - 00:10:00:05
Unknown
you know, what adversity we've overcome some of our personality and then obviously show the guests and highlight their accomplished accomplishments as well.

00:10:00:05 - 00:10:07:25
Unknown
So but I love the fact that, you know, you went outside of your comfort zone to do that, You know. Well, it's

00:10:07:25 - 00:10:20:09
Unknown
way outside their comfort zone to the point where you're like, wow, this took me 40 minutes. And then I was like, Derek, you could do that in five, but it's okay. Yeah, Yeah. So I'll learn some way.

00:10:20:09 - 00:10:44:02
Unknown
I just learned the hard way. The trial by air. You know, Then obviously I had some updates from this summer. Should I run through those? Yeah. Updates. I guess there's a few. Want. A few I don't want to steal your thunder, but that's. That's an understatement. A few. A few of you. Well, first and foremost, we got a

00:10:44:02 - 00:10:45:20
Unknown
beautiful new puppy

00:10:45:20 - 00:10:48:12
Unknown
named Brewery sleeping right here.

00:10:48:15 - 00:10:50:06
Unknown
Well, I don't wake the beast.

00:10:50:06 - 00:11:00:09
Unknown
Oh, I wake up. He gets a little aggressive during podcast sessions and sometimes likes to run around and play with noises. But it's okay.

00:11:00:09 - 00:11:04:06
Unknown
He just officially turned one

00:11:04:06 - 00:11:21:28
Unknown
last week, so that was pretty exciting. And then, um, his a original name. This is a funny story. His original name was AD and there's an ad that's interesting.

00:11:22:00 - 00:11:28:01
Unknown
Ed Devon I know, right? I know. Or the reason why and this is kind of a sad story

00:11:28:01 - 00:11:44:15
Unknown
there was three dogs that the Humane Society actually found that were in the desert. So basically there was three dogs that were brought in, must have been brothers or sisters, and they had cactus

00:11:44:15 - 00:11:46:21
Unknown
in their mouth and stuff like that.

00:11:46:24 - 00:11:51:15
Unknown
Yeah. So the Humane Society actually rescued

00:11:51:15 - 00:12:14:28
Unknown
that, put them up for adoption. Me being a Wisconsin sports guy that I love, of course had to go to the last Brewers spring training game of the season and they had a pet adoption day. So I was like, Oh, okay. I mean, I'll go there, see what they have. I probably won't see anything.

00:12:15:01 - 00:12:20:26
Unknown
All of a sudden I see Brewer or AD and and ad.

00:12:20:26 - 00:12:36:16
Unknown
The reason I found out he was called AD was because the three dogs that they brought in, they were named ad Edward and Eddie just so then, you know, they can,

00:12:36:16 - 00:12:40:18
Unknown
you know, differentiate between the two, but not by much.

00:12:40:18 - 00:12:46:16
Unknown
But not much. Yes. So I love the word ad, but I was like, I don't know.

00:12:46:16 - 00:12:47:18
Unknown
I so

00:12:47:18 - 00:12:56:25
Unknown
of course, I had to go to the Brewer games, so I called them Brewer. So I got one dog named Finley who is named after their Michael Finley

00:12:56:25 - 00:13:10:21
Unknown
wife, one of my favorite basketball player players, and also the greatest basketball player in probably Wisconsin sports history as far as like from the Badger side of

00:13:10:21 - 00:13:14:20
Unknown
of everything for basketball fans, in my opinion.

00:13:14:23 - 00:13:19:02
Unknown
And then I have now Brewer who's named after the Milwaukee

00:13:19:02 - 00:13:27:23
Unknown
frickin Brewers. And a side note, I haven't met Brewer in person yet, but they look almost identical twin dogs, too, even though they're not from the same breed. Right,

00:13:27:23 - 00:13:41:27
Unknown
Exactly. Exactly. Yeah. So you can actually see some of their videos, which I took a little sidebar to and started a little side channel called Carolina Twins with a Z.

00:13:42:00 - 00:14:08:07
Unknown
So Carolina twins with a Z instead of an ass. And it's just a lot of them playing at the dog park. Being twins, you get to see Brewer chases shadows. Well, a lot of fun stuff. He likes to walk backwards. That's right. I haven't seen that one yet. Oh, yeah. They're they're hilarious. I haven't posted as many as I want to, but, you know, you know how it is.

00:14:08:07 - 00:14:33:08
Unknown
You're in that space. It's hard to post the tic tac even every day or a couple of times. Everything else. People don't realize the challenges of social media and being constantly up there, because then when you post, you also get comments. So now you're your phone in your hand. That's, you know, you're used to supposed to be for work and everything else is constantly pinging.

00:14:33:08 - 00:15:04:09
Unknown
Ping, ping notification. So if people say I'm ignoring them, it's not because I'm ignoring you, it's because I'm getting paid. Ignoring everybody. I get pinged at work with notifications, I get pinged at home with notifications, and then I get pinged when we do podcast stuff. So 20 47a day, My my phone's constantly pinged, so sometimes I silence it and just turn it off and I'm away from the world.

00:15:04:12 - 00:15:04:25
Unknown
Yeah.

00:15:04:25 - 00:15:10:04
Unknown
Well, speaking of the the Green Bay Packers, I guess one last update for for me.

00:15:10:04 - 00:15:24:09
Unknown
Mike and I will be going to a few extra Packer games this year. It was time for the family to pass down the season tickets. So now I am the rightful heir of the Green Bay Packers season ticket holder. So we will be going to opening day.

00:15:24:09 - 00:15:42:11
Unknown
And I think that since you're going to be up here, we're going to the next game, too. And so we'll be hoping we'll be busy this year going to every single game we can, too. So hopefully it'll be a great season. Yeah, exactly. I'm I'm stoked. I see the new edition of your artwork behind you. I got I got the same one.

00:15:42:11 - 00:15:50:08
Unknown
People who can't see it in this frame. But Derek was able to get me that at the state fair and I was able to

00:15:50:08 - 00:16:02:25
Unknown
put it in my, you know, a little old Wisconsin, a wall of wall of fame or a wall of champions. I don't know what I want to call it yet, but. Well, I'd have to give the credit to my son.

00:16:02:25 - 00:16:22:13
Unknown
He just turned 13 as well. And yeah, when we're at the state fair, I always like memorabilia and art and he playfully checked me and said, Well, Uncle Mike's got all kinds of great art in the background. You have nothing, so you got to get something. And I was like, If we're going to do that, we got all of it, all the legends over here at Culver's, if they were, well, not all of them.

00:16:22:13 - 00:16:42:01
Unknown
Yeah. And we got we are. I mean, loans still are still questionable. We're still waiting. He's still questioning. We're he looks all right, though. He looks sorry, but we got Janice. We got Yeah, it's. Who's that? Who's that other one over there. I'm sure. You know, being a Brewers fan. Oh, yeah. That's Rob, bro. Robin Yes, yes, yes.

00:16:42:03 - 00:17:04:27
Unknown
And yeah, I mean, Derek, I'm super excited for this year and the opportunity to go to all the games. Thank you Carol family for passing it down. I appreciate it. So me and my boy can go to the games so we will I won't be able going to all of them, but I will definitely be there for the home opener coming up here shortly.

00:17:05:00 - 00:17:31:04
Unknown
And also the Thursday night Lions game. So I've been going to two games that week, so that's going to be dope and I'm going to give all my podcasts listeners because I love you all. A little preview, a new tradition that I'll be whipping out this year. So typically everybody knows me. I go to the games with my double jersey,

00:17:31:04 - 00:17:36:24
Unknown
my big Dr. Seuss top hat, some sunglasses or roll it.

00:17:36:27 - 00:17:52:20
Unknown
Right. But this year, new quarterback got to switch up that tradition. So I brought a little little A-Z to Lambeau Field this year and I'll be racking this.

00:17:52:20 - 00:17:53:26
Unknown
You got the little poncho.

00:17:53:26 - 00:17:58:18
Unknown
You got the little pod. Did you get that in San Diego when we've seen a bunch of those?

00:17:58:18 - 00:18:06:10
Unknown
I did. I did. But I got this in San Diego earlier this year before you and I went there.

00:18:06:12 - 00:18:26:19
Unknown
But that's a great segway for San Diego. Yeah. Yeah. Look at look at this little pod. Almost, almost picked one of those bad boys up. Good thing. A good thing we did there because the twins, Then we'd really look like twins if I had one, too. And I know, right? See, you had that little tickle in your throat just like me to see.

00:18:26:19 - 00:18:33:00
Unknown
I hate when that shit happens. It's that allergies are changing the seasons, but that brings on fact. Maybe.

00:18:33:00 - 00:18:56:10
Unknown
Yes. So don't worry, Lambeau Field, Your boys is not going to miss a home opener, especially with a new quarterback. So people, I'm telling you, when your boys thing comes into town, we cover the spread. I don't I'm not saying we're going to guarantee a win, but whatever the spread is, but on the Packers spread, we will cover.

00:18:56:12 - 00:18:56:25
Unknown
Okay.

00:18:56:25 - 00:19:10:06
Unknown
All right. Besides that, there were some more updates, just a couple extra updates. I feel like we're we're still building into this or still building. We're still building. But

00:19:10:06 - 00:19:21:15
Unknown
the reason we were in San Diego was because I had my bachelor party with all my close friends. And

00:19:21:15 - 00:19:25:20
Unknown
so that was amazing. Time to go out to San Diego.

00:19:25:22 - 00:19:55:16
Unknown
Derek I think what did we end up having like 14? It was like 15 or so guys. Yeah, whose was it? Like 16 guys all in one area as far as like two double Airbnbs that were connected right near Pacific Beach. Perfect distance to the beach. Walk into the beach. We got to bike, we played the basketball, went some dance clubs, got met up with my friend Mercedes from Lacrosse.

00:19:55:16 - 00:20:24:02

00:21:24:20 - 00:21:25:16

Unknown
This. So this is a special ring. So anybody that knows me knows I love everything about Michael Jordan, the way he plays basketball and how he carries himself as far as his motivation level

00:21:48:18 - 00:21:50:03
Unknown
him as a person.

00:21:50:03 - 00:22:19:18
Unknown
I've only met him once in my life, which was phenomenal. It was on the golf course. I got to see him in Vegas teeing off. That's the the sting out of me, man. Meet Michael Jordan. I asked them, I said, Hey, Mike, you're almost 40. You're going to come back and play. It's almost 50 or 64 I met or I said, I at the time, I said, I said, you're almost 50.

00:22:19:20 - 00:22:27:03
Unknown
You're going to come back and play. Because that's he's that's what he said during his Hall of Fame speech. He said, Who knows, I might come back and play.

00:22:27:03 - 00:22:30:28
Unknown
And he was like, No, he was like, I was drunk when I said that.

00:22:30:28 - 00:22:33:08
Unknown
True story by Michael Jordan.

00:22:33:08 - 00:22:39:18
Unknown
And he was it was it is very real person and, you know, very cordial with me.

00:22:39:18 - 00:22:58:28
Unknown
But this rig is made out of the floor at the United Center where Michael Jordan won his first three championships with the Chicago Bulls before they ripped out the floor. So what they did was they

00:22:58:28 - 00:23:10:12
Unknown
you know, they rip out the floor, then they auction it out or donate it to people. Well, this company essentially bought it. And I got to see a way to prove it that

00:23:10:12 - 00:23:16:07
Unknown
that it was actually made from the material that Michael Jordan played basketball on.

00:23:16:07 - 00:23:44:23
Unknown
So I'll give you guys a little sneak preview. So any anybody that is is a bulls fan or a michael Jordan can clearly see that that is that red that was Chicago red and that United Center floor that he used to play on and obviously win championships. So I got I got that gold on my on my hand and I'll really care if if if it sounds a little weird the way you said that.

00:23:44:23 - 00:24:10:03
Unknown
But wow. You know what I mean? Yeah. Know, like, well, like where he won his championships, I guess. Yeah. The floor of where the goat won the championships. And I don't care if you think that the goat is LeBron. If you want your own goat to be LeBron, so be it. I'm not going to argue about it. I'll just prove stats and statistics to claim that he's not.

00:24:10:06 - 00:24:30:21
Unknown
But so one more little Michael Jordan piece I got Mike to try Michael Jordan's tequila this summer. It was the synchro, the Clear. And we yeah, we got a big bottle of that for my 40th and we ended up drinking it. Not all of us. It was, it was a number of people, but we finished that bottle and my mom's got some clear light crystal wine bottles, and she.

00:24:30:23 - 00:24:39:07
Unknown
She's probably going to know now if she watches this, but we snuck that little empty bottle in there and it's still there a couple months later. It's still there isn't even has even noticed it.

00:24:39:07 - 00:24:51:03
Unknown

00:24:51:03 - 00:25:00:26
Unknown
Mike had a pretty damn epic wedding. I've been to a lot of weddings, officiated my fair share of weddings. But I will say Mike's wedding was one of the most fun weddings I've been doing a long time.

00:25:00:26 - 00:25:09:01
Unknown
Yeah, it was definitely fun. You know, when we planned that wedding we really talked about, and when I say we planned it.

00:25:09:03 - 00:25:32:21
Unknown
Your wife? Yes, my. My wife planned it. I mean, let's be honest. Most grooms just show up, and that's exactly what I did. You know, I gave my $0.02 where I needed to and stuff like that. But mainly I only had a few must haves at the wedding. And then besides that, I was kind of, well, hey, whatever you want.

00:25:32:21 - 00:25:37:17
Unknown
What were those must haves? Because those must haves were were some pretty epic things.

00:25:37:17 - 00:25:38:02
Unknown

00:25:38:02 - 00:25:40:12
Unknown
The must haves were

00:25:40:12 - 00:25:49:05
Unknown
I had to wear sneakers, so Jordan shoes to walk down the aisle. So that's that was a must have

00:25:49:05 - 00:26:04:25
Unknown
we also wanted a must have was because we had people from Wisconsin, from Minnesota and from other states like Arizona that traveled shout out to all my Arizona friends and family that traveled as well.

00:26:04:25 - 00:26:08:18
Unknown
Appreciate you guys a lot, because that's a lot to ask.

00:26:08:18 - 00:26:23:07
Unknown
So we add some Wisconsin food. So we actually started the wedding like right after the ceremony. We led right into where you got brat bites, cheese curds, and also

00:26:23:07 - 00:26:25:25
Unknown
what else you're forgetting, the ice cream spot.

00:26:25:25 - 00:26:33:16
Unknown
Well, that later on. Later. But no, you got you got brat brat bites, cheese curds.

00:26:33:16 - 00:26:40:03
Unknown
Oh, and french fries. That's what it was. So it's just like a little, little car before the party started.

00:26:40:03 - 00:27:01:23
Unknown
And then 30 minutes later, we had to have drinks after the little bit of food, because you got to have a little carb load before you have a few drinks in Wisconsin. Otherwise you'll be sleep in by 7 p.m. because everybody in Wisconsin likes to drink.

00:27:01:23 - 00:27:04:09
Unknown
And if you don't know that, I'm sorry.

00:27:04:09 - 00:27:08:18

00:27:52:08 - 00:27:54:21
Unknown
So that was good. And then

00:27:54:21 - 00:28:05:02
Unknown
some other highlights. We had the Pearl Ice Cream as our dessert instead of cake. Because my wife has gluten allergies,

00:28:05:02 - 00:28:25:16
Unknown
she's has celiac disease. So she can't have gluten. So we decided to have ice cream where Meghan and I served ice cream and we handed it out to individual containers from the pearl ice cream that's been established since like the fifties in lacrosse.

00:28:25:16 - 00:28:35:06

I mean, just like weddings usually go like, it seems like the day is going to take forever. And it just felt like an hour went by because it was so action packed. Everybody was out dance and having a great time.

00:29:15:20 - 00:29:23:12
Unknown
