Okay, Adam, your family is from places adjacent to where my family is from.

And I learned about something new when I was on the phone with people over the holiday this

0:08.7

winter that I did not know existed.

0:12.1

Are you familiar with Buckees?

0:15.0

I actually had my first Buckees experience this Christmas.

0:19.1

And wow, it's all I got to say have you been there physically
