uh it's not uh it's like they,

they can't say it enough, it would seem. It would seem that this is something that they have

to keep coming back to over and over and over again, kind of like me telling my two-year-old,

like not to put things in her mouth. And the same things, the same things.

Like, I did, like, somehow I changed my mind since five minutes ago when I said, yeah,

This is how the prophets are.
