Welcome back, episode 47. It's me, jody, that would be Amanda, me. And then we've got Winston, and he's not going to say nothing because he's laying there. And then we've got Winston, and he's not going to say nothing because he's leaving here. I found out this weekend that Amanda loves women boxing.
Speaker 1:You need to tell the truth.
Speaker 2:You wanted to watch it. You watched like four hours of boxing. You wanted the excuse that I liked it. Couldn't take your eyes off of it.
Speaker 1:I tried to get you to box and you wouldn't do it.
Speaker 2:Look at these chicks hitting each other Because you thought I would whip your tail well, I get in trouble for saying chicks, probably in each other but hold up, back up a minute.
Speaker 1:You made me stay in my church clothes while we're recording on a sunday again, which we say we don't like to record on sundays but here we are.
Speaker 2:Does it always happen on sunday?
Speaker 1:and you made me stay in my church clothes. I know, I don't like church clothes.
Speaker 2:Well, we're working a video and then storage on my phone. Here we go again Storage on my phone. I don't have enough storage. I can actually record it, but then I can't do like if I go into CapCut or anything.
Speaker 1:Stop recording animals. You know I do record a lot of animals. Be done with the animals fish feeding ducks. Give me the attention that you give the animals, but you know you don't. Did you see that? You just passed?
Speaker 2:it along.
Speaker 1:I video these animals because I don't know, you just passed it along again something might happen something crazy well, you never know with me when something might happen you're right, you're right so back to the whole boxing thing.
Speaker 2:So I kept seeing on net Netflix to where they're having women's boxing coming up on. Was it the 11th? Was that?
Speaker 1:Yeah, no Friday.
Speaker 2:Which would have been the 11th right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I told you it was 11th.
Speaker 2:So I was like you know well, that'll be something, if you know, if we're available, if we're at home to watch or whatever. Well it got to be, you know, 7 o'clock.
Speaker 1:So you made sure we were at home.
Speaker 2:No Well.
Speaker 1:You made sure we were at home.
Speaker 2:No, because I had a you wouldn't let me do nothing. Procedure done.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:It just worked out. We got home about whatever time 8.
Speaker 1:So he had this procedure, so he could not do nothing, so he could watch boxing.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so it was just a few minutes before 7, and I went to Netflix, I think it was, and then I saw hey, it's on tonight and it says live. So I click on there and it's like a countdown three-minute countdown for it, oh my goodness, but anyway. So actually, when it started started and it was at madison square garden when it started we watched and it's like 7 30 and there ain't even close to having somebody box, so we just kept turning on and off, on going back and forth, and you actually went and I went and done, done a live.
Speaker 1:I'm like you catch me later.
Speaker 2:TikTok. Yes, okay, on your nail.
Speaker 1:Yes, what is it called Press-on nails?
Speaker 2:Your site. If people wanted to go to your TikTok, what is?
Speaker 1:it called. That's all I'm asking. It's just Amanda, I don't actually know what my thing is. Well, it might help if you do that.
Speaker 2:It might help if I did I was trying to give you a little bit of a plug.
Speaker 1:Are you?
Speaker 2:But you went and did that on TikTok. Did a TikTok live Well, I always keep that up.
Speaker 1:Amanda Press on Nails. Okay, amanda Ratliff 3.
Speaker 2:Okay, so that's where you do your Red Aspen stuff. You show how to put them on and take them on, it looks a little different. Yes, everything like that, yes, Okay, so finally, this was going to be the first time. Why is my phone locked up?
Speaker 1:Because you want to use it.
Speaker 2:I know it says the event was historic, marking the first time an all-women's professional boxing card was streamed live on Netflix from Madison Square Garden Scarden. According to Netflix.
Speaker 1:You need a little help there.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so the headliners. I watched all of them. I'm not into boxing or anything like that, but there's nothing on.
Speaker 1:I cannot find anything really, we got all this stuff, yeah, and we can't find nothing. And we talk about that all the time too yes, we do.
Speaker 2:So you know, it was just something to watch because these women they will beat up on each other. But I don't know. I have boxed before with some buddies, like one round. You don't realize how long three minutes is until you're boxing with somebody you know. Right, You're over there, what are you doing?
Speaker 1:Well, I had a comment on my video and I like to get back to them, so I just replied to them.
Speaker 2:Okay, sorry, go ahead, i'm'm listening so these rounds were two minute rounds, so it was not your average three minute round, and I don't know if they changed that for this or if that's the women, if that's the rules for women's boxing. I don't know anything. Nobody had the four fights that I watched.
Speaker 1:Nobody got knocked out is that what you were here for the knockout?
Speaker 2:well, I wanted to see somebody struggle. I really did Listen. How rude, well you do. You want to see somebody like, finally get one good punch in and the other one starts staggering, loses their legs out from under them, whatever, like that, or gets into the ring ropes and then just getting waylaid on. That's what I was waiting. There was some waylaying going on but nobody ever, you know, went down.
Speaker 1:There was some waylaying going on, but nobody ever you know went down. I think I went down with the first punch.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so every one of the fights went 10 rounds, the official 10 rounds, but the main event was Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano. And that Taylor, she'd won two. They fought each other twice before. I think she's Irish, she's beat Serrano both times and this time I was just for Serrano.
Speaker 1:So why did they want to fight again when she's already won twice Money?
Speaker 2:Money. I don't know how much. They said it was. Millions of dollars is what this fight was on, so I don't know if they got a couple million apiece.
Speaker 1:But they said they weren't going to do it again.
Speaker 2:Is that what they said? Was this it?
Speaker 1:yeah, I would think at the end of it they said, yeah, no more I mean like why I? Beat you three times you let me just keep on.
Speaker 2:If I beat you, let's go street fight if I beat you one time and you want to rematch yeah, that's understandable if I've beat you twice why do you even want to do it?
Speaker 2:again, the only reason I would think it is because of the money. But I will say this, and I need to research this. But you know, I told you when you know it's long and drawn out, you know they have this intro music and all this kind of stuff. It's pretty cool, it's hyped up by that main event. You know Madison Square Garden was sold out. I mean, there wasn't an empty seat, it didn't look like it anyway. But that Katie Taylor the Irish, I think she's from Ireland.
Speaker 1:I'm pretty sure you might need to check your facts, I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 2:Okay, their flag is orange, white and green. I believe she came out to a I think it's a Christian song, I don't know if it's a newer song. It was saying like my king is the redeemer, um stuff. I was like I tried to listen close. I was like is that really a christian song?
Speaker 1:you didn't shazam it.
Speaker 2:No, I did not, you should have shazam well, let's go back to the storage on my phone. I've gotten rid of shazam app just so I could have extra storage on my phone, okay.
Speaker 1:Be truthful you got rid of Shazam so you could get the bird app. Yeah, marlin.
Speaker 2:Hey, if y'all are bird lovers, if you like watching birds.
Speaker 1:We could talk for an hour on birds, if you like bird feeders.
Speaker 2:If you've got a hummingbird feeder, if you like watching these birds in the evening times, anything like that, get the Marlowe app. I can't say that I found this on my own. I found this through my sister and brother-in-law, apparently. As you get old, we all have the same thing in common, except for Amanda. She's not quite. Give her three more years and she'll be up there with us maybe, but as you get older, apparently birds is a thing that you like to listen and watch and all that stuff. But anyway, they tell me about the Marlowe app and when you download it, all you do is it listens to the birds chirping, singing, whatever and it identifies them for you. It'll let you know if it's a what is it not a normal bird, that you see Exotic.
Speaker 1:Well, no, I wouldn't say exotic.
Speaker 2:That's a little out there, huh yeah. But anyway, any bird for you you basically have to put in your location. So like we've got a neighbor two houses down that's got a cockatoo, well, it won't pick it up because it's just narrowing down localized birds. I mean. So I don't know what a cockatoo is or its origination, don't know. If we put that in there it would identify what type it is. Rare that's what I was looking for. Rare it lets you know if it's a bird that it picks up is rare or not for this area. But it's pretty cool.
Speaker 1:You know, you might have up to 16 birds within a few minutes of uh. So does it keep those recordings when you're sitting there recording it or whatever?
Speaker 2:there's a file in there, but I don't that you. You can look back and I don't know if you can I was gonna say I hope, is that taking up storage? I think so I don't think you can click and listen to it, but you might can click it and see what it identifies yeah, because it has the yeah. Because it has the picture.
Speaker 1:I mean everywhere we go. Yeah, if he hears a bird, he's like oh, let me get it out.
Speaker 2:But if it has, you know, it pops up the picture and all that stuff and you can click on it and it tells you all about it.
Speaker 1:It'll tell you you know the female.
Speaker 2:You're like oh, I got you on the boxing, yeah you is. Yeah, I need to research, because it's very uncommon to hear a Christian song that a boxer or anything like that they come out to. I just was not expecting that, especially with the lifestyle of some of these women boxers. I know that because they're tough, my goodness. You know they're manly, they are tough. I couldn't get out. Hey, when you saw. Hey, I want to see the next day. I want to see the next day.
Speaker 2:I want to see the picture of them I don't know how they feel when they got to be the next morning show me a picture of their face, because if your eyes almost completely closed friday night, what does it look like saturday morning?
Speaker 1:bad I know you feel rough.
Speaker 2:Their bodies gotta just be what about your nose, you know? And there was a lot of blood a.
Speaker 1:Did they do cold plunges? Does that help your body?
Speaker 2:Cold plunges yeah, they say it does. It doesn't help my body because I don't like to be cold. They say it's worth it though the way you feel afterwards. But the three minutes that you're in there, or the two minutes, no. I know Adam Carolla. He's a comedian. I've heard him say that he doesn't have a cold plunge but he takes a cold shower. It's kind of the same thing, but it's not as cold as what a cold plunge would be, because you can do like 34 degrees. When you do a cold plunge, cold water out of your faucet is what.
Speaker 1:It's not that cold, no.
Speaker 2:But it's still cold if you're standing under it you know, yeah, but I couldn't do it. The only time I took a cold shower is when I found out when I got up one morning and take a shower, that our hot water heater didn't work, and that was a struggle. So I don't want to experience that again. I don't know. I need to find out how much money they made for this. Let me look this up while you're talking. Can you talk one of them?
Speaker 1:What am I going to talk about?
Speaker 2:I don't know.
Speaker 1:We got a sale going on right now, but by the time you hear this it's probably gone.
Speaker 2:No, it's not.
Speaker 1:I got a sale going through the 17th. What am I talking about? We're going to release tomorrow, on the 14th. Oh yeah, you got plenty of time.
Speaker 2:Join me on my tiktok and I'll show you what nails are on sale as low as six dollars.
Speaker 1:You like that commercial. Yes, you like that pretty good commercial. We got daily deals ten dollars different daily deals, forgot what tomorrow's is, but today's is makeup wipes and $10 nails. Tomorrow's deal is I'll tell you one day. I'll tell you. I forgot what is tomorrow, monday. It's a highlighting stick. We have cream highlighter sticks also. We have makeup.
Speaker 2:Now back to our story. I've got this. Now I've got these facts. Are you done he?
Speaker 1:don't like my girl talk. Okay, has some cute nails that are $10, also tomorrow For her fight on Friday night, streamed on Netflix.
Speaker 2:Katie Taylor reportedly earned a purse of $6 million. This payday is part of the highly anticipated trilogy fight against Amanda Serrano, which was also promoted by Jake Paul's most valuable promotions.
Speaker 1:So that's why you saw Jake Paul. So he just promotes them.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he's a promoter, that's why you see him behind every one of those women.
Speaker 1:So he's not their manager or whatever, he's just a promoter.
Speaker 2:Yeah, promoter manager.
Speaker 1:Are they the same?
Speaker 2:thing? No, not really, but I mean he has a say in stuff, though. So the first was a significant oh, the fight was a significant event, not just for the athletes but also for the sport of boxing, with the potential for a large audience due to it streaming on Netflix. I don't know what the numbers were yet.
Speaker 1:I was going to say have we heard any numbers.
Speaker 2:Both Taylor and Serrano are expected to have earned substantial purses, with some reports suggesting a total purse of $18 million to be split between them. Wow, that is a lot. Let me see.
Speaker 1:I might go fight somebody for that. Yeah, I don't know, what Is it worth it.
Speaker 2:Is it?
Speaker 1:worth feeling the way you would feel the next day. I mean, I know they train and all this, but you can't tell me they're not hurting the next day.
Speaker 2:Oh, definitely hurting.
Speaker 1:How long does it take them to get over it? How long do you think it takes them to quit? You know, because, like, if you're in a wreck or something like that, you know, say, the second or third day is your worst day of pain.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:So what do you think when you're boxing?
Speaker 2:I mean oh, let's see the female boxing match between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano on Netflix, which was part of the undercard for the Jake Ball vs Mike Tyson fight had an estimated 74 million live viewers globally Wow. This makes it the most watched professional women's sporting event in US history, according to Netflix.
Speaker 1:Wow, but you know when, jake, so before Netflix done, these were the fights. Live anywhere else, you had to pay for them right, you had HBO.
Speaker 2:Hbo, okay, it was a big, big boxing channel.
Speaker 1:Yes, okay.
Speaker 2:Which, on that, you just had to have a subscription to HBO to watch it, because they had Friday Night Boxing or whatever it was, but they had the main events. You had Tyson, yeah, stuff like that what are your women? They never really showed women. You know, they talked about that right.
Speaker 1:They talked about it, they wouldn't show talked about.
Speaker 2:She had a a main event where she fought at madison square garden, but it wasn't televised but it wasn't televised because it was women yeah, so so what do your other boxers make?
Speaker 1:that wasn't the main event. How much? How much are they bringing in?
Speaker 2:oh, I'm, you know, probably. So if you're not the winner, do you?
Speaker 1:still get something. Yeah, you still get something you've got. Yeah, you've got a contract you've got some kind of contract? Yes, yeah, yeah, but it was, uh, I don, I don't know I just don't get sitting there, not sitting there standing there dancing around in the ring boxing. I know people love it, I know they make money on it?
Speaker 2:You talking about watching it or actually doing it?
Speaker 1:Or no, actually doing it.
Speaker 2:Oh.
Speaker 1:I mean, I don't. Well you say it, mary, I don't even really care to watch it.
Speaker 2:You say it's a.
Speaker 1:I like the MMA fight.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but you say it's the 10th round. You say how they're so winded, they're so tired.
Speaker 1:And it's just two minute rounds and all you're doing is you're getting.
Speaker 2:You're sweating blood on, yeah, because you're trying to get your breath and you're holding on to one another for a second.
Speaker 1:And you're trying them not to.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so that the ref will break you apart, so that you're not continuously you know, I mean you're wearing yourself out. So, yeah, that's the way you get a break is when you hold on to the person or get them up against the ring ropes and hold on to them and they have to be broke apart I don't, I don't blame, no mma, mma's twice as bad. That's bad, ain't it? Yeah, because they're trying to break your leg and arm and dislocate your shoulder, and they're what makes you want to do that?
Speaker 1:are you a mean person if you want to fight?
Speaker 2:it's got to be in you. You've got to be tough. You just got a tough streak and you like and that's a way you can let it out I guess I don't want to do it mean he's about to go around, or two the two fight the two first mma fights that I've ever that I ever saw both of them.
Speaker 2:A guy got they are the the ones I saw one one time and then months later when I watched another and same thing happened of course different guy, but it's dislocated shoulders and you saw it pop out of joint and all that and it was like, oh, my goodness, about to make you throw up. I mean, I can't handle.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you can't handle it.
Speaker 2:But you know they're trying to get him to tap out Whatever position I can put you in to, where it is hurting so bad that you're tapping out. You're hollering, uncle, letting me up.
Speaker 1:I just don't want to hear you. You're hollering Uncle.
Speaker 2:You never heard that.
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:You've never heard hollering Uncle.
Speaker 1:No, okay, why are we hollering Uncle?
Speaker 2:That's just a saying.
Speaker 1:Oh, you've never Okay. I don't think so, okay I. I don't think so, okay, I never heard that one.
Speaker 2:But yeah, you're trying to choke them out. I mean anything, Whatever. That's the scariest thing when you see these guys get choked out. It is. You get a mess up, so why do you?
Speaker 1:want to watch that. Why do you want to do that? Well, that's a man thing.
Speaker 2:I know some women like to watch it brutal sports, it's like football. That's why men like football, because they like that toughness, that hitting. You know pads hitting each other. Except this right here is a little bit different I was gonna say that's a lot different that's a lot of money, though it's a lot well, just like them splitting possibly 18 million is it worth it to put your body through that for the money?
Speaker 1:I've talked to some people, is it really you?
Speaker 2:talk about like would you take a punch from Mike Tyson for like, you name the price and I don't.
Speaker 1:Even like a million dollars.
Speaker 2:No, I'm not doing it.
Speaker 1:Because he'd kill me? Yeah, exactly, because you're not ready for it. So then, what good is it to you?
Speaker 2:It's not.
Speaker 1:Not.
Speaker 2:Because it's not, not Because you can't take it with you. So what good is it? You're right, but anyway. So I don't know the next time. I don't remember. Well, I did watch Jake Paul and Mike Tyson when they fought.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we did watch that, but that wasn't a fight. We just watched that because that was hyped up.
Speaker 2:I like Mike Tyson. I don't care about Jake Paul at all, at all.
Speaker 1:That's not nice.
Speaker 2:Well, I just don't, I don't like him.
Speaker 1:Jody is brutally honest. I am honest.
Speaker 2:By the way, why am I going to lie? I'm not going to lie. I don't want to be mean, but take it the way you do.
Speaker 1:You don't know him.
Speaker 2:I know enough. You see how they carry their self, whether you like it or not. I'm not saying that Mike Tyson is a great guy. I'm not saying that at all. I'm just saying I don't like the showboat and all that. But that was for show, that was not a fight. I was hoping it was going to be something a little bit better than what it was, but better than what it was.
Speaker 2:But before that, I couldn't tell you the last fault that I've ever seen Boxing match, and I couldn't tell you if I'm ever going to watch it again, because it's just not something. This was just something that just hey, I kept seeing them Since we turned on Netflix all the time. You could have been like on any other platform that they could have been promoting and all that stuff and I'd never known about it and I just wouldn't have watched it. But since it kept showing up on Netflix and the timing was right, that's the only reason we watched it. But I really did want to see somebody get knocked out. Is that bad?
Speaker 1:I don't know. Is it that you want to see somebody get knocked out? I don't know. No, All right done with fighting.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I am too.
Speaker 1:What do we got coming up?
Speaker 2:We got Vbs at church everybody. We have had a lot of people working hard, uh, to get that. Vps, vps vps.
Speaker 1:What is that? Yes, that's an eye insurance when I worked at the eye doctor so vacation bible school is what we were talking about.
Speaker 2:For people that don't know what that is um, but had a lot of.
Speaker 1:We have a a director that bust her tail she's awesome.
Speaker 2:Yeah, she's done a lot, um, she's carried a lot of the weight and uh, you can tell I mean it's amazing the stuff she's done and got looks good. She's got it all decorated we're having a sunday night service in our old sanctuary, because that's where everything is decorated at and we're having it there. So kind of show it off to let the members of the church that aren't aware or can't be involved in the upcoming week We'll see what it's all about, kind of unveiling it for everybody.
Speaker 1:They can't be involved. We just ask them to pray for the kids that are coming through. That's right that they'll hear the message. That's right that they'll hear the message.
Speaker 2:That's right. And do you know what an estimate is on how many kids we might have?
Speaker 1:Oh, we usually have around 100.
Speaker 2:Really, that's good, yeah, so it'll be good.
Speaker 1:So it's going to be a busy week.
Speaker 2:Is that a Monday through Friday thing?
Speaker 1:Yeah, monday through.
Speaker 2:Thursday, five days from 9 am to 9 to 12, I think. So like three hours a day.
Speaker 1:That's not bad. Then we got a team going mission team going to Kentucky.
Speaker 2:What are?
Speaker 1:they going to do? Well, some will be construction, some will be. They'll go around and talk to people. It's called something, I just can't get the word out and then Evangelize. And then the VBS director is going again and she's going to be leading another VBS, so she got VBS two weeks in a row.
Speaker 2:That'll wear you out.
Speaker 1:I think she deserves two weeks off in a row.
Speaker 2:Shout out, we'll put a word in for her. Yeah, I like that.
Speaker 1:Shout out to Jania.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 1:She loves our kids.
Speaker 2:You know, you always hear that, well, the Lord's working in my life or the Lord's working in our church. You know, just because you see something or whatever it is. But you've got to understand. Understand the Lord is always working in your life.
Speaker 1:The Lord is always working in your church when you don't see it.
Speaker 2:That's right. Just because you see something positive happening in there, that doesn't mean you stop and reflect. You know, and you're thanking God for it. You need to thank God. There's a lot of stuff behind the scenes that you ain't got a clue, that God's working on for years to come and we have no clue.
Speaker 1:Then you realize it Right Afterwards Exactly. Oh, he was there too, right, there's a plan. He's there every minute of every second. That's right. That's right For the day.
Speaker 2:In my Sunday school class that I teach every day, or at the end of class, I always ask you, know what's good going on in your life? I always ask you know what's good going on in your life? Anything bad going on, praise reports, prayer requests, unspokens, and it's always they know that nothing bad is going on, so that's a good thing. That's what they always say. I've kind of told them that, and the thing about it too, is I tell them that we tend to pray when bad things are going on. When good things are going on, it's almost like you feel like you don't need God as much because you're in control, everything's fine, you know. And then maybe your prayer life isn't where it needs to be because everything's going good, you know. So you're kind of missing the thing.
Speaker 2:So we always and I'm kind of coming at a point of teaching these boys this I always tell them you know, you need to come to a point where don't ever think you're in control and don't ever think, just because everything's fine and dandy right now, that it can't be. You know, something might happen tomorrow, you just never know. So don't let that affect your prayer life. You need nothing bad going on. You need to be praying, you need to be thanking god for, you know, for everything good that's going on in your life and everything, so then it'll help you. Uh, you know when the times are rough, so I try, and you know, emphasize it in prayer life is is very important. Don't don't ever just stop praying, and you can't do it wrong. You can't't pray wrong.
Speaker 1:No, but we think we can. I know we think we do.
Speaker 2:I've gotten to where some of the boys in there I'm trying to get them to step up and I'm wanting them to pray for us at the end of class yeah, and I have a couple that go to every time. They'll do it and I don't want that all the time. And I, but I try and tell them to you know, like, hey, 10 years ago, if you'd asked me to, you know, pray in this class, or anything like that, there is no way I didn't have the you know confidence. I didn't think I could. And then, and I try and tell him, like you cannot say anything wrong. You can't pray wrong. God knows what's on your heart. He wants to hear from you, even though he knows what's going on in your life. He wants to hear from you about it. But we had a very good class today. I must say. It seems like our class is really gelling together.
Speaker 2:Mine too, we have so many different ages. We had eight boys in there today, but today a lot of them were closer in age than what we have sometimes. But it's just like everybody has just gotten to where they talk to each other. They get along good. We cut up and then they're participating, you know, in questions that we have during the lesson. I think if you go in there, especially with teenagers, and you just start the lesson right off the, if you like small talk for a minute, then you start the lesson and you're just talking the lesson the whole time.
Speaker 2:I think you not that you're burning the boys out or anything like that, but I like to try to build that relationship that's what I've been trying to do and that's why we do that for them we do trivia questions and we do uh like here lately they like the family feud questions and stuff like that. You know so. So we'll do like 20 of those questions. We'll go back and see who you know got the the most um stuff like that before we start the lesson and just trying to break things down and that's really helped. So but also leave it to them on what kind of trivia Let them decide, so we can change it up and all that.
Speaker 1:All right. Well, I think we've done pretty good, yep, it's lunchtime.
Speaker 2:We've got to get off this thing because we've got to head back to church here soon.
Speaker 1:We ended with prayer. That's good Talking about prayer.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's pretty good. Prayer is very important. Prayer is very important. It needs to be a part of your life, no doubt, and if it's not, well, I pray that it soon will be.
Speaker 1:If you need help, leave us a comment.
Speaker 2:That's right. There is a way to get in contact. You can leave a comment and then from there we can work on how to communicate one-on-one with any questions. No doubt, because that's what we're here for. All right, All right.
Speaker 1:Let's go eat lunch.
Speaker 2:Thanks for listening Now that it's brunch time. We will see you back, hopefully next week for episode 48. So we will see you then. See ya, adios.
