| 0:10.5 | My grandmother passed away last week now. I can't believe it's already been about a week |
| 0:16.1 | and she was 92. So I think we were, you know, joking about the queen like, you know, |

| 0:25.2 | was one of those people who could have lived like three more weeks or ten more years and |
