He's only watching them up for the first three minutes. And then he makes me start it over every time. Yeah, let's bring it over here. Okay. Okay. Wait a minute. Here we go. Okay, I'm turning it off. Then I'll put it back on. Okay. Then we're gonna rewind it all the way back to the beginning, which is about three minutes. Yes. And here it comes. Okay, okay. Okay. Mickey and a beanstock. Yeah. You all finished? Finish your breakfast. Slash lunch. He gets up really early, so he's actually at his lunch. So Jakey has watched this ten times at least now.
