If you're one of those real fancy parties with the swirly drinks, then everybody's dressed up. They're very, very best. It's in

0:21.3

like a big hall or something. There's a music with live string quartet playing there or something. And then somebody walks in and they're, they got like the puffy pants on and they have one of those banging sticks, like a spear where you hit the butt of the spear on the ground to get everybody's attention, they walk in and they,

0:38.7

ton, ton, turn, turn. They bang the bangy stick.

0:40.9

And they're like, you're a a spear where you hit the butt of the spear on the ground to get everybody's attention.

0:37.9

And they walk in and they, they bang, ton, turn, turn.

0:39.3

0:41.0

They collectively go by the name, the night witches. You'd be like, what? I'm probably not going to remember any of y'all's name,

but the night witches? How does one get that nickname? Because I got all kinds of ideas about

1:35.0

nighttime and witches and things like that. And then you'd find out they were Soviet bomber pilots
