| 0:01.4 | So I've got a question for parents that might be listening right now. |
| 0:03.9 | And I know sometimes it's a little tough to get the phone started this early because you're in such a rush to get off. |
| 0:08.3 | But if you have a couple of seconds here, my theory has always, at least my gut has always told me that when Hayden Hollis get old enough and they can start partaking and partying, that I would sort of hide my partying pass from |
