What if mind control is real? If you could control the behavior of anybody around you, what kind of life would you have? Can you hypnotically persuade someone to buy a car? When you look at your car, you're going to become overwhelmed with such good feelings. Can you hypnotize someone into sleeping with you? I gave her some suggestions to be sexually aroused. Can you get someone to join your cult? NLP was used on me to access my subconscious.

Mind Games, a new podcast exploring NLP, aka Neurilingual Programming. Is it a self-help miracle, a shady hypnosis scam, or both? Listen to Mind Games on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hello, the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Jurassic Park's Trendsness Nedri. Oh. Ah, ah, ah. I hate this hacker crap. It's my favorite.

You didn't say the manage magic word. Justice for Dennis Nedry, as we talked about, he's being written out of the new, the latest update to the Jurassic Park, Uvra, which is a Comcast commercial. Is that who it is? Yeah, Xfinity. Xfinity.

Xfinity, Xfinity. Which I feel like there's a, a 70% chance this statement is accurate when I say it's your cable provider. Mm-hmm. Because there's only, like, in LA, what? We got a couple. The TNT and X-Fentrumpeter. Oh, yeah, is it X-FIN.

They're all fucking one company now anyway. Anyway, what are we talking about? What day is it? Who am I? Where are we? The medieval times. Ah, yes. I'm going to put up in a car.

It's medieval times. Also, shout out to me. It's my fourth wedding. anniversary today. Shout of her majesty. Thank you for sticking by me. Damn. Four years.

Yeah. Four years. I know it's just wild too because it's Geist Child's birthday. That's the thing. Having the birthday near your anniversary, it takes less pressure off the anniversary because all of our focus is on the kid.

And they were like, oh yeah, yeah, it's our wedding anniversary. But also the fourth anniversary is like a fruit or flower, I think, is the gift. Oh, how are you going to find one of those? Yeah. Oh God. Go to Ralph. Bro, I'm like, I got you this Asian pair from the refrigerator that we have. May I peel it for you, my dear?

Brian the editor points out your relationship is up for re-election. How's your campaign going? Touch and go. Touch and go. A bit of a lame duck situation. Touch and go. Touch and go. All right.

Well, congratulations to Hermage and Miles Gray. Yeah. Who the best ever do it. If you see us, buy us a drink. will you? What's a drink, will you? Yeah.

Let's talk about the news, shall we? Yes, we shall. Let's talk about JK Rowling, who you may know

for regularly defending her transphobic bullshit. Yeah, yeah, I know her. Right. Miles,

she's just trying to protect children. Oh, is somehow how she's worked that out in her mind. Mm-hmm. She was mentioned

in the Epstein file. Oh. Yeah. Epstein was invited to the premiere of the Harry Potter and the

cursed child stage play by the weird choice guys. He's gonna like this one by the producers and J.K. Rally plus a special dinner. And this was in 2018. Okay, so hold on. Jack, let's do, let's crunch some numbers. It's not just jump to conclusions here.

So he became a convicted sex offender in 2008. And then carry the one. Oh, they carry the one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You weren't carrying the one. They had some time to find out. And when asked about it, she said, and when asked about it, she said,

she called it Beyond Silly, arguing that neither I nor anybody on my team ever met communicated with or invited Jeffrey Epstein to anything. You sure about that? You sure about that? You sure about that? You sure about that? You sure about that? Because we're looking at the fucking emails.

Epstein was ultimately turned away at the door when he tried to see the show. which might sound like somebody got wind that he was going to be at a show made about children. The person at the door had better morals than the producers and J.K. Rowling didn't. I certainly can't leave you, let you in. But then her team literally did invite him and it seems that the ticket was requested by his publicists

who called Jeffrey Epstein a very important friend and she was super pissed when he couldn't get in. And it was just because he didn't have a, like, he came with somebody and they didn't have a plus one for him. Yeah. And the email is just pure publicist bullshit. Yeah. To whom this may concern,

Reese, what was not clear? Oh, God. It was very explicit with my staffing you about two tickets for the dinner for Jeffrey Epstein. Full name. Okay. You're just going full name there.

So Jeff, you know, try and like soft pedal it. You know who it is. What genius filled the ticket order? Why wasn't his name on the dinner list at the door? I don't know. Maybe people were like, oh, this is probably a joke. Hold on Jeff Epstein? The New York finance here?

Like, what the fuck? What genius thought my friend would not have a plus one when he ordered two tickets? Okay. Jeffrey is a captain of international finance and a close personal friend of mine. I know this was not done on purpose. but it's still terribly upsetting. Please find out who did this and send an apology note.

Jeffrey of all nights, I left my two phones home. I was actually looking for you all night. I was with Sun Yi and she thought you were having dinner with her husband. I'm so sorry. What a screw up. So Jeffrey Epstein was copied on this.

I guess that's how it made it into the files. I was having dinner with Sun Yee. Well, he was with Woody Allen. Wow. Wow. Wow. I mean, like, the amount they were kicking it. There's like a, there's also the thing where they were complaining. I think was Chalemay in a Woody Allen film or something?

I believe so. And he would like, gave the money back and they were complaining like, I can't believe he had to give his money back for just working with Woody. You're like, well, of course you guys are all like together being like, isn't the world so fucking unfair to us? A rainy day in New York. Yeah, that's what it is. Yeah.

It's not fair. It's not fair. It's not fair to give his money back. But there was also an email where. Epstein asks if he could introduce someone to J.K. Rowling, although why that is was never explained. So it seems like he had access to her. And then people on Reddit have been digging into the files and found communications between Epstein and someone who signed their name, capital J, lowercase X, which Rowling used to do on Twitter. That was how she signed all of her

posts. And like around the time of these emails, too, like these emails from 2013, they have tweets from 2014 where it's signed JX. Who knows? The person is a woman who types in complete sentences, which is just worth noting because not many of these dumbdums do.

Yeah, not into grammar at all, but this person very, I don't know what you're trying to say, word smith. I can't go around flying places for dinner parties, although I'd love to. It's just like, hmm, okay. And maybe an NY,

the week of the 8th, but not sure yet. Yeah. Well, way to protect kids. I'll explain. He again when we meet. I, of course,

would play your tickets. This guy just fucking, I don't know. Yeah. Truly a genius, financial genius, who, it makes total sense

that all those people are just giving them control of all their money. We've got other people to feel sorry for in addition to JK Rowling. And that's, of course, the DHS.

goons and the ice agents, Wired found their little forum where they're going to kind of talk that shit. They should moan about their jobs. Yeah, I mean, I think overall what we're seeing is that, you know, the organizations, the groups that are really in charge for doing the most heinous shit right now,

meaning Department of Homeland Security, all their goons, including Border Patrol, and the Department of Justice, where they send their lawyers to try and argue this shit. It ain't going well for the people. I really wanted to talk about this because not to like as cope, but just to understand like this is taking a toll on them. Everyone screaming at them,

telling them they're fucking bullshit, all this other stuff, it's taking a toll. So in this like might be our sub right. It wasn't quite sure because they were very vague. But there's just a ton of these people posting about how terribly DHS is being ran, how it's chaotic. Literally no one knows what the fuck is going on.

One guy who's as a career person, He's been posting on this board since for at least 10 years. So it suggests he's legit. Quote, I have 2.3 years left. 2.3. Okay, sorry, I've got... 6.8. 2.3 years left for full special category retirement,

but don't know if I'll make it tired of this agency. Employees being abused badly, mandated TD wise. Yeah, with less than 24 hours notice. TDY is temporary duty, which means, hey, asshole, you got to go here now, now, now. Kiss your kids, goodbye. Go away, go. another one said no more weekends off more work than ever before in 18 years no more union no more downtime the post continues um this is not what any of us envisioned for our last years of career when we

are in our 50s oh um it's really important no more union is because uh four years ago uh ice personnel they they'd lost union representation um that many other government workers had because the president of the council that represented the ice agents said that the, Union, the American Federation of Government employees, they had become too far left. Oh. Wow, for advocating for the... There's your problem. When you work on behalf of like a right-wing corporate conspiracy to take over the government,

you're going to be treated the way that, whatever way that they want to treat you, which is not good. Other posts were bitching about how like Border Patrol was giving ICE a bad name. And they're like, everyone's just calling everything ice now. Well, we're ice. That's Border Patrol ERO. We're another thing. And like, guys, your mission's the same. So miss us all with this fucking complaint.

And then there's assigning bonuses, right? That's how they were chumming the waters to get these assholes to even join up. They're like, $50,000 or whatever. A lot of these people, they're like, dude, I haven't gotten my bonus yet. When I ask about the bonus, I don't get an answer at all. And some people that have got it, they were like, wait, after taxes, it's only like a couple thousand dollars. And one person claimed, quote, that they were unable to cover their medical costs for their sick child due to an insurance

coverage gap. So they're just like, even my blood money is not coming in. Like, what, what is this for? Then they started hurting against each other in this form because a lot of the times they're like lying on, this will shock you. This is, they're lying on their reports to just kind of close a case and keep moving on. And then a lot of them, are like all these numbers that they're saying that people that are being arrested, they're bullshit. They're so fucking inaccurate because if there's a task force with multiple agencies, one, like, if they arrest one person, each agency will count that as an arrest for them.

So it's like, they got doubles of this, they got triples of that because it's like, well, it was DHS and Border Patrol and the U.S. Marshals. So now you're going to count one arrest as three. They're all saying it's probably a quarter of what they're saying. But again, this is all, they're all saying the same thing of like, it's all performative. They're having us do a ton of nonsense just so they can save these numbers. Just so they can hit Stephen Miller talking points, essentially. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah. I mean, the way, like, at first they were trying to do this just by arresting anybody who was in, like, a Home Depot parking lot. And then they got popped for that and got some negative media attention. And now people are. Still do it, you know, but just less so. Yeah. And so now, yeah. So now they're just having to work with.

unreasonable demands and, you know, as the right is want to do, whether it be corporate overlords or, you know, these people are just, they don't give a fuck. They're just like, yeah, I don't know, give these 20 people, 50 people's worth of work and treat them like shit until they get the job done. It's not my problem. It completely lays waste to the argument that this has ever results oriented, like that this was about it. It's like, no, it's just about putting up numbers that, like, literally just put up any number on the wall. Yeah. Point to it. Score points for white supremacy.

Yeah. And show your senile grandpa the number. And he goes, wow, that's big. And you go, thank you. And you go back to whatever bullshit you're doing. Which brings us to the DOJ lawyers, because for all the rights they're violating, it's the DOJ lawyers that have to go into fucking court to argue this shit. And they're all fucking drained because once these goons start violating people's, rights and moving on. Every day is just they're overwhelmed. They have about like 10 times the cases

that they normally would. Now it's a crisis to the point that the resignations are so intense that I don't know if you've noticed that there were like Stephen Miller and other like MAGA influencers were asking people to apply to be a U.S. attorney via DM. Wow. If you're a lawyer and are interested in being an AUSA and support President Trump and anti-crime agenda, DM me, we need good prosecutors and DOJ is hiring. Now is your chance to join the mission. And then Stephen Miller's like retweeting that. If you want to combat fraud, crime and illegal immigration, reach out patriots needed because

actual lawyers have all fucked off and resigned because this is an abomination. And it got to the point that it does seem to be like one last technical gap that they're, I don't know how they overcome is that they don't know how the law works. They're completely disregarding laws. And when they get their bullshit in front of a judge, the judge, it's like a dissatisfying. track. The judge is just immediately like, are you fucking kidding me? Stop trying to pretend you're a lawyer.

Go back to working at State Farm, asshole. It's crazy. So, like, it got to the point that earlier this week, a DOJ lawyer was just fucking crashed out in court because they're so stressed. On Tuesday, federal district court judge Jerry Blackwell held a hearing to remind the government that following court orders is not optional and to demand that the Trump administration answer for its noncompliance. the lawyer representing the administration, Julie Lee, responded by telling Blackwell that she is very tired.

Quote, the system sucks. This job sucks, she said. Sometimes, yeah, sometimes I wish you would just hold me in contempt, Your Honor, so that I can have a full 24 hours of sleep. The judge was like, yo, what? Are you okay? Yeah. And she was like, look, I volunteered from another part of DHS because they were saying they needed help. And I was, she said, stupidly agreed to do that. She's saying this in court. It's like, I stupidly agreed to be here. But it's crazy. She said going on. The lawyer said that she started working with DOJ to make sure that the agency, quote, understands

how important it is to comply with all the court orders, which they have not done in the past or currently. She says, quote, it takes 10 emails from me for a release condition to be corrected. It takes me threatening to walk out for something else to be corrected. As of Wednesday, she is no longer assigned to the Minnesota. U.S. Attorney's office. And that's what the squeaky wheel. Get it, you know? Yeah.

And hey, but the DMs are open. I know, for real. This is not. Come on Zay, guys. This is not. Yeah. Or, I mean, just, hey, everyone pretend you're a lawyer and don't show up for work ever. But I think, you know, with all of this, it just shows how incompetent, how weak, even

even though they want to project, like, it's this machine that is running full steam. It is in the sense that it has a complete disregard for the law. But the cogs and the bureaucrats in this machine are, like, morale is super fucking low. And I think that's important just for people to realize don't get nihilistic about all this shit. Because they are, they're getting nihilistic. Yeah. They're giving, they're going full. I don't want to be around anymore.

I got too much shit on me in court. Yeah. I wish you just put me, I wish you would just hold me in contempt your own. honor so I can have a old 20 or something. I mean like that's what the lawyers are now saying and that's one case but again

I just all is not done but shit no it's not working it ain't happy over there war but they project power to their people it's only convincing to their people

and their people get fewer and fewer because people are less and less on board with the bullshit they're doing and anybody who's working for them is like, fuck. People are idiots. Because, you know, we talk about how much bots are now. There's another story wired about how like bots account for nearly like a majority

of internet traffic now. Majority of people on earth. According to a conspiracy theory. Yeah. There's only like a couple hundred of us out there. Yeah, exactly. But anyway, like that also adds to the perception that there, that people of goodwill of good moral standing are outnumbered by all these fucking orc maga people on the internet.

And like, what the fuck? And I think that and you also see that there's this reckoning that happens with ice goons who are also hopped up on that propaganda who think they're going to walk into the streets and see people like handing out fucking orange slices and be like, thank you so much ice. And they don't realize that the rest of the country fucking hates their guts. And they go out and they're like, what the fuck is this shit? Because that's another thing. Why are you so mad at me? They're like, I didn't do this shit to just be called names all fucking day. Like, we're trying to protect the country.

It's like, no, idiot. Fucking break through your propaganda brain for a second. I realize you've been told that this is actually what the majority of people want or desire. And actually, you're just a fucking goof. And there are bad people out there. We were listening before. We will dig into this maybe a little bit later. but the guy who put up the fake ice.

Oh my God. Report your neighbor's hotline and the calls he gets from people are just like. Ben Palmer, dude. Ben Palmer. Ben Palmer. Goat. Yeah, we're trying to get him on the show because. We'll link off to him in the footnotes.

But holy shit. Just the wildest shit where it's just like a normal sounding person being like, so I've got this girl in my kindergarten class. I'm a kindergarten teacher. and her parents seem like they're from another country. Oh, really? Yeah, because this guy basically has a fake ice hotline for deportations, and he just fucking just mirrors back,

whatever they're saying, okay, so, and then writes down, like, where are Hispanic people supposed to be? She's like, well, not in the country. Well, where should that? Maybe the city, and he goes, okay, Hispanic's not where they should be in city. Why are you being sarcastic right now? I'm just writing down what you're saying,

thinks wants to deport kindergarteners, parents. You're making it sound like I'm like bad or something. It's genius. This guy's fucking comedy is like so, so refreshing right now. But also fucking tragic at the same time because this fucking creeps out here being like, I want to separate this kindergartner from their fucking parents.

But they're, yeah, I feel like this is all the more reason that like getting out in the streets is, you know, they're getting that message. They're going to their, like private hotlines to report people they're probably not doing that shit on Maine because they

recognize that it's not popular. No. Which it's not, you know. All right. Let's take a quick break. We'll come back. We'll talk about that you can now live in the Breaking Bad House. It's called a tease, folks. We'll be right back.

Welcome to the A building. I'm Hans Charles. I'm Inalec Lamoma. It's 1969. Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. have both been assassinated, and Black America was out of breaking point. Writing and protests broke out on an unprecedented scale. In Atlanta, Georgia, at Martin's Almemata, Morehouse College, the students had their own protest.

It featured two prominent figures in black history, Martin Luther King Sr., and a young student, Samuel L. Jackson. To be in what we really thought was a revolution. I mean, people would die. In 1968, the murder of Dr. King, which traumatized everyone. The FBI had a role in the murder of a Black Panther leader in Chicago. This story is about protest. It echoes in today's world far more than it should, and it will blow your mind.

Listen to the A building on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Seems like just yesterday that the Two Guys' Five Rings podcast was in. for the Olympics. And now we're heading to Milan for the 26 Milan-Cortina Olympic Winter Games. I'm Bowen-Yang. And I'm Matt Rogers, and we'll join athletes

from 93 countries as Two Guys Five Rings hits the Italian Alps for the 26 Milan-Cortina Olympic Winter Games. Open your free IHeart Radio app. Do we mention it's free?

Search Two Guys Five Rings. And listen, now. What if mind control is real? If you get control to be able, of anybody around you, what kind of life would you have? Can you hypnotically persuade someone to buy a car? When you look at your car, you're going to become overwhelmed with such good feelings.

Can you hypnotize someone into sleeping with you? I gave her some suggestions to be sexually aroused. Can you get someone to join your cult? NLP was used on me to access my subconscious. NLP, aka neurolinguistic programming, is a blend of hypnosis, linguistics, and psychology. Fans say it's like finally, getting a user manual for your brain.

It's about engineering consciousness. Mind Games is the story of NLP. It's crazy cast of disciples and the fake doctor who invented it at a new age commune and sold it to guys in suits. He stood trial for murder and got acquitted. The biggest mind game of all, NLP might actually work. This is wild. Listen to Mind Games on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your

podcasts. Hey, I'm Jay Shetty, host of the on-purpose podcast. On a recent episode, I sat down with Nick Jonas, singer, songwriter, actor, and global superstar. The thing I would say to my younger self is congratulations. You get to marry Priyanka Chopra Jonas. And also, you know, your daughter is incredible. That's beautiful, man. Yeah.

Thank you. That's so beautiful. I can see that got you a little. Yeah, for sure. Our daughter, she came to the world under sort of, very intense circumstances, which I'd not really talked about ever. Growing up on Disney in front of a million, how did that shape your sense of self? I went blank. I hit a bad note, then I couldn't kind of recover. And I built up this idea

that music and being musician was my whole identity. I had to sort of relearn who I was if you took this thing away. Who am I? Listen to On Purpose with Jay Chetty on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. Now, Jack, I know you tease that you can live in the Breaking Bad Huffs, but what could that possibly mean? I just made that up.

Let's see. No. Yeah. So I guess the Breaking Bad House went, which is in Albuquerque. They put it on sale in January with a price tag of $3.99 million. What the fuck? Which seems like a lot because the estimated value is, under $400,000.

So last year they put it up for $3.99 being like, this is work of art. You can live in this. Iconic home with the pizza still on the roof. Yes. They've slashed that price

and are now asking for $400,000. Good, good, good. So it's like a slight. They adjusted downwards from $4 million to $400,000 by factor. They decimated the price. I know.

Seriously. like what if we knock this back 90x? It doesn't feel like a house that, like I really enjoyed Breaking Bad. It does not feel like a house that I'm like, I want to live there. No, the scene of a lot of dysfunction. Fucked up shit.

The most famous thing that's happened to the real world house is that it became a trend for Breaking Bad fans to show up and throw pizzas onto the roof. Yeah. of the garage like Walter White did. And they had to put up a cast iron fence to like a pizza fence, keep people away. Okay.

But I don't know. Like this does raise the, like, is there a house that because it is the fictional house from, let's assume it's the same inside and outside. Yeah. Like, is there a house that would fetch a 10x,

like just being like, this is the place where that happened? Like obviously not from not from us but like it would maybe be like the Brady Bunch house in its heyday because Brady Bunch house because it was like the height of 70s chic yeah um the home alone house yeah the McAllister house maybe um you they're if they offered to cover the electricity bill since it is as Chris Crofton pointed out in our home alone episode just the brightest most electricity wasting house in the history of cinema yeah but I think all the houses you'd look at and even want the desire to live in

is because things feel good about it. Like, I don't want to be in a house or I'm like, I am the danger. And I'm like, what the fuck? We're like a, you watch a family dissolve. What did you do, Skyler? I'm like, what the fuck is going on in this place? You watch a bit, yeah.

Like the, there's like a vortex of bad karma where like a plane crash, like, right, right. People's bodies like land in his backyard. What's this thing in my pool? Yeah. Yeah, that, that doesn't. feel like the one like maybe the Cosby Brownstone if that

was like the same inside and outside because that house. Good vibes huh there. Good vibes from the show. And you're like, wait a second. Fresh prince house. Fresh prince house. I mean that's a, we all know that's a set. But if it was, I just don't know 10, like no fucking home is worth 10 times

its actual value, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. You'd have to just be one of these fucking oligarchs. You're like, yeah, I'm having that for 10, million dollars. Recreating the house from, that actually would be a better thing to do with, I feel like oligarchs are not, not smart enough to do that,

but that would be cool. They're not because they're all fucking zombie people who only chase money. We talked about this, that's why we, I can't do it. Oh yeah? Well, Miles,

you think they're not good? Well, let me tell you a little something about polymarket. Oh, what's polymarket saying right now? So they just announced that they found a fun way, to turn tragedy, the tragedy that is America's Food and Security into a marketing gimmick, a free grocery store in New York.

By the looks of it, it's full of enough food to serve seven, maybe eight people. It's like a big, bogega, kind of. This one interior shot looks like AI. It does. It's like, is it? Like, I don't even know what these, like, this is very nondescript shapes on the wall? Yeah. Anyway, sure.

It's, yeah, it definitely looks like a AI-generate picture of like, a bodega. But they also donated a million dollars to the Food Bank for New York City. But they bragged that this is a real physical investment in our community. They have a sign in New York Times header font,

New York's first free grocery store. That's great. So they're just going to use the funds from just the obscene revenues they generate to keep feeding. Oh wait, no, this investment is a pop-up that will last for less time than it takes for the VHS tape from the ring to kill people.

It'll be open for five days. Wow. Wow. Wow. Brave. Braves. Yeah. I mean, good PR.

Cal She also gave away free groceries to New Yorkers for three hours. And so they were like, all right, how do we want to? Pulled my beer. Yeah. Check this shit out. They're trying to like use this to be like, we're bringing Mom Donnie's vision to life. And it's like, well, in a way, In a way, the source of it is odd.

Taxes on your corporation and then he could actually do this in a systemic way that wasn't focused on getting hungry and desperate people on Instagram. Right, right, right. Which they did. They like turned it into like a social media thing where it's like, look at all these hungry, desperate people. Was Mayor Mom Dani there to do a ribbon cutting or anything like that? No. Just like, okay, good. Good for you.

Yeah. No, they did not. He did retweet the news with the onion worst guy that you know. Me, heartbreaking, the worst person you know just made a great point. But, yeah. Yeah. Oh, well, free food for, there's your bread in your circuses right there. Jam, put it this way.

It's a real turduckin of greedy opportunism because this is happening right when New York lawmakers are debating legislation that could sharply restrict their business in the state. And they're like, hey. Wow. They're trying to do like a Batman bad guy kind of thing. It's like, I'm feeding the masses. How could you guys hate me? Right.

Don't legislate against me. Well, maybe keep going, you know? Maybe do five more days and see if that changes. Maybe just leave it open, try and work with the mayor to systematize it and be like, this is our thing, too. At the high end, we take. money from poor people because poor people

are disproportionately more likely to have problematic gambling. So we take their money. But on the other end, we give it back in a way that is like the least possible thing we can do.

So like we already won. Why would, we keep going. It's become this weird philanthropic dick measuring contest and couch is like, we're actually going to be open

It is kind of, when you think about it as, okay, this gambling service, which, as we said, Americans who are lower income are more than twice as likely to be problem gamblers than those who aren't, this gambling service is promoting their product specifically to people who are facing food scarcity. feels targeted and weird. It sums up the times quite perfectly.

Yeah. The employees were filming people grabbing food and their social media account. Shared the news clip and people interviewed the people who were lining up to get food and we're like, do you know like what polymarket is? They're like, oh yeah, I looked it up beforehand. It seems terrible. But I need food. Right. Yeah.
