| 1:36.9 | You still have your name tag on. I do. I'm Matt. I took my off. Yeah. Not a fan of sitting on the floor. Yeah. With a chair that 70% certain would break if I decided to actually put all my weight into it. |
| 1:55.9 | They had a sitting in those like if you ever take like a meditation class, they had a sitting in those chairs that are like on the floor that you like lean back on. Yeah. It was practically like sitting on a pillow on the floor. |

| 3:44.5 | what happens when you actually go into labor? |
| 3:49.3 | Yeah. Which was interesting. I learned, I learned stuff I didn't know, but the various stages of labor in particular. |
