Speaker 1 (00:00):
Second date updated.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
There's a lot of confusing information out there about how
to attract a mate online.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
That's what the video says, how to catch your mate?
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Is that what you're doing?
Speaker 1 (00:15):
That the information is so bad.
Speaker 4 (00:17):
He pretted out of how to sheet from Yahoo in
front of it.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
It's so conflicting though.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
It's like, be super clear with your intentions, but also
be mysterious and coy.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Make sure to be super funny and playful, but don't
be joky or they're gonna think you're not serious. What
does it make sense? Yeah, show who you really are,
even if you run a puppy mill. Let them know. Yeah, okay.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
And one of our listeners says, she got swept up
in the confusion of how to maximize your dating profile,
but in the end, I guess it turned out to
be a good thing for her.
Speaker 5 (00:53):
Well, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
She's on the phone with us, so let's.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Let's figure it out. Cynthia, welcome to the show. Tell
us what happened?
Speaker 6 (00:58):
Hi, guys, it's so good to be here.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
Well that's good, Cynthia, look at you. Try an extra
heart again.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Yeah, so what happened?
Speaker 2 (01:08):
How did you get swept up in the confusion of
the online dating.
Speaker 6 (01:11):
Well Google is free, but it's a jungle.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
So yeah, yeah, wait you ask Google for advice instead
of like your friends.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
What should she ask her friends? Oh?
Speaker 4 (01:23):
No, I feel like you should run your profile by
your friends and see what they think if it's showing
you in the best.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Light or not.
Speaker 6 (01:29):
Well, we get there eventually, Okay.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
So I'm looking up all these different ways on how
I can get more matches with online dating, and some
of the things I found were that if your profile
picture has your hair out of your face, you're twenty
seven percent more likely to get a match.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
Yeah, unless you have an ugly face?
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Is that what the problem is, Cynthia? Can you confirm that?
For books over here? I shaved my no one's did.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
No one else take that?
Speaker 3 (02:04):
I didn't take that.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
I was thinking it's been on TikTok for all they said.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Guys like hair up.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Okay, okay, So twenty seven percent more likely if you
have your hair up out of.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Your face, right, and seventy six percent more likely if
you have a teeth. Smile if you smile with your teeth,
just assuming.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
You have all your teeth in there, right.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
I smile with my gums, gummy smile.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
That's only because your ratio. Yeah, okay, anything else.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
This is one from my side that I also find
to be pretty true. If you're alone in your pictures,
no friends, no one else in.
Speaker 6 (02:42):
The photo, you're sixty percent more likely.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
I swear There's been times where I'm swiping and I'm like,
what girl is the girl?
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Because every picture? Yeah, fun Jose, it's like spin the
wheel over? Who am I going to get? I think kid?
Just all group is weird?
Speaker 4 (03:01):
What'd you go it? Did you do some group, some solo?
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Did you do all one way?
Speaker 6 (03:06):
Well?
Speaker 3 (03:06):
No, I did all just single photos of me, because
I find that when I'm swiping for guys, if I
have to guess who you are in the photo, I'm
not going to I'm.
Speaker 6 (03:14):
Just gonna Okay.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
So did you take all that advice?
Speaker 4 (03:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Yeah, yeah, So I tried it and I forgot nothing
after a week. Nothing nothing nothing really remember like weirdos
of course, like guys who were very interous.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
So what did you change? Would you do to change
your luck?
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Well, she couldn't change her face up brooke like that one.
It's not very nice to tell her to get surgery before?
Can we like, move off of that and maybe get
to how how did you change your dating profile?
Speaker 1 (03:46):
That's what I asked, What did you change about yourself?
It was the way you said it. Yeah, we knew,
so what happened?
Speaker 3 (03:53):
So I just ended up asking my friend what she
thought of what I had uploaded.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Yeah, Brook, actually that's exactly what you said.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
What did your friend say?
Speaker 3 (04:03):
She said, looked like a Veloco wraptor.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Were you burying your teeth or smiling?
Speaker 3 (04:13):
She kept saying that I had such big teeth and
that was my hair pulled back, like my forehead looked
a bit. Dare she?
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Are you mad?
Speaker 4 (04:22):
Or are you like? I can see it?
Speaker 6 (04:23):
I mean I was humbled for sure.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
I'm trying to figure out who's mean or your friend
or Brooke. I could never say that to my friend.
Speaker 5 (04:33):
Oh my god?
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Oh wow. Okay, so she gave you a few tips
to change stuff.
Speaker 6 (04:37):
That was kind of all she said.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
I guess her tough love pushed me to kind of
just go back to the drawing board and just go
back to what I was already doing.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Are we ever going to get a date here?
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Or we like?
Speaker 4 (04:51):
What happened?
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Well?
Speaker 3 (04:52):
So I ended up just posting what I felt was
right for me, But I ended up getting a date
with this guy Aaron. Okay, yeah, we ended up texting.
We went out for like pizza and wine and stuff.
And it's funny because I told him about, you know,
my experience was trying to update my profile and that
was kind of the topic of conversation for most of
(05:14):
the night. We laughed about it and ended up taking
pictures of each other, you know, in dinosaur poses.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Really, Oh my god, I love it.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
See good sense of humor, embrace it, and now you bonded,
Although everybody else in the pizza parlor was like, what
the Yeah, I.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Know your pet names for each other are already raptor at.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Yeah, so what's happened since then?
Speaker 6 (05:40):
I just I haven't been able to hang out with
him in like a month. I was like a month ago.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
And it sounds like you've been texting. It just hasn't
lined up.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Yeah, like your schedules haven't lined up. You haven't been
able to find a good time, and I just, I
don't know, I'm getting a little discouraged. I felt like,
you know, we lost a bit of momentum, and I
was just wondering if you guys could give me some
advice or helped me out a little bit.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Well, Broo's gonna tell you to change the way your
voice sounds, so maybe not want to ask us for advice.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Doesn't talk about her.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
You sound amazing, You sound fun You sound funny and
self deprecating.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
About her broke? I know me, but what about her?
You know what?
Speaker 2 (06:16):
We're just gonna call this guy Aaron for you when
we come back and do your second date update right.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
After this hold on second date update.
Speaker 7 (06:26):
On the phone with us today is a woman who
just updated her dino dating profile the majestic Cynthia Saurus Rex.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
You know, I.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Think there was a lot worse dinosaurs she could have
been compared to.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
We're gonna call her c Rex for short, or maybe
just Cynthia, which is her normal name for human name.
But the reason why we're poking fun about it is
because she found an article online with all these tips
about what of pictures you should take if you want
to get better matches on dating sites, and she found
some ideas where you're supposed to pull your hair back,
(07:07):
show more teeth, it's supposed to get more guys to
swipe on you. But after a week online with no matches.
Her friend told her the truth, the reason no guys
are biting is because you look like a velociraptor.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
It looks like but listen, the most ferocious of the dinosaurs. Yes,
and with a very muscular built.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Better and doesn't look like that normally. It's just with
the new hair back do and the teeth bearing poses.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
It came across.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
Dinofe but she finally realized she just needed to be herself.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
That was the good, But it ended up being the
topic of conversation on her date with a guy named Aaron.
They had a great time together. The problem is that
was a month ago, and now she needs our help
to get things jump started once again.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Brooke, I'm afraid to even go to you. Every time
you say something it comes out offensive. But what do
you want to say? It's a cretaceous cynthia over here.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
No, I think it's good Cynthia that you and him
have been talking. You've been trying to get something nailed down.
I know it feels like maybe the what is it
called momentum has has dulled a little bit.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
That's exactly what she said.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
I just don't want you to come off as too needy,
you know, like this is your only option, because it's
not right.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
It might be your only option.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
We actually but we don't want to know. Cynthia.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Can you dial down the desperate needy vibes that you're
giving towards Brook right now?
Speaker 6 (08:30):
Oh my god, no problem. I don't mean to come
off super.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
Needy, don't. I don't think you are, you know, don't
bring up again the fact that you weren't getting a
lot of matches, because would do?
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Yeah, you want to make it.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Sound like this last month has been so packed and
oh my god, I totally forgot to call you so.
Speaker 8 (08:49):
Radio it.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
Yeah, exactly what.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
I texted you twenty times by accident.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Even if he if he says yes to a date,
maybe you tell him that you're maybe available.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
It's been so long first date it actually was.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
The time of the Dinosaur.
Speaker 5 (09:13):
Ye.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
We're gonna cut the advice segment of this short and
just call Aaron for you.
Speaker 1 (09:17):

To hear because we're all confused and we're trying to
help her figure out if there's a reason why you're
not getting back to her and wanting to see her again,
if that's even true. Yeah, well, because she's super busy
right now.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
Yeah, that's right, thank.

Speaker 3 (11:20):
Sudden?
Speaker 5 (11:21):
Yeah, I don't know how much she told you about
the date, but we were joking around. We just ended
up taking these funny pictures like dinosaurs.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Ye, because that was like what she tried on her
dating profile before and and like was laughing about it.
Speaker 5 (11:37):
Well, yeah, and that's what we were doing in the
photos and they turned out pretty funny and just kind
of as a goof After the date, I put one
of the photos of me up on my profile and.

It's the fact that he's with somebody, that's a proven fact.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
They were taking pictures of each other.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Was it just you or was it both of you?
Speaker 5 (12:16):
It was just me, but it was all the tips
and tricks and everything that she was talking about. I
pulled my hair back. I showed my teeth and the smile.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
And wait, so so those things work for guys but
not for girls.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
Maybe just when you do them right?
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Okay, is it just face shape?

overwhelming to hear all this, Cynthia, how you feeling right now?

Whoever, Saturday chick is and put Cynthia in her place
and Saturday girls come on.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
I mean, two such highly successful daters meeting right here
on this show. I mean that's a sign that you
need to be saying, yes, Aaron, we'd love to send
you out with Cynthia one more time if you're up
for it, and we'll pay for the date.

A girl can only wait so long. We'll have to see.
Speaker 8 (15:34):
Yeah, that's actually a good answer.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Don't tell him yes or no, we know.
Speaker 5 (15:38):
It's yes, yeah, Cynthia. In the meantime, I'm really getting
a lot of practice, so that could only work in
your favorite.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
I don't.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
Practice, tell us, tell me I want to know brooking
Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Well, duckface is ancient history.
Speaker 7 (16:03):
Scrunch face is out point.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
You must be Delulu.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
If you don't know the latest look for dating profiles.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
You learn two the two gen zs in the room
and Alexis are like stuck.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Yeah, I'm saying you're the dumb dumb if you don't
know the look is the Jurassic pucker.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
But more teeth please.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
I can't believe that guy had.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
So much success using the dinosaur pictures and she had none.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
Yeah, but you guy think like I bet he was
starting with pictures that were you get one female to
take one picture of a guy and instantly they just
look eight hundred times better.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
You're so right.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
They take one picture of me and I look like
an old hat guy.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
But like Alexis said, maybe some people out there just
know how to do it the right way.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
This one's the naughty tri Sarah toops Jeffrey what I'm doing.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
I don't know if those two are actually gonna go out,
but I'm glad that.

you with your dating life. If you really want that,
do the right thing, email the show. We'll call that
person who's not calling you back.
Second date updated.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
There's a lot of confusing information out there about how
to attract a mate online.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
That's what the video says, how to catch your mate?
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Is that what you're doing?
Speaker 1 (00:15):
That the information is so bad.
Speaker 4 (00:17):
He pretted out of how to sheet from Yahoo in
front of it.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
It's so conflicting though.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
It's like, be super clear with your intentions, but also
be mysterious and coy.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Make sure to be super funny and playful, but don't
be joky or they're gonna think you're not serious. What
does it make sense? Yeah, show who you really are,
even if you run a puppy mill. Let them know. Yeah, okay.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
And one of our listeners says, she got swept up
in the confusion of how to maximize your dating profile,
but in the end, I guess it turned out to
be a good thing for her.
Speaker 5 (00:53):
Well, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
She's on the phone with us, so let's.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Let's figure it out. Cynthia, welcome to the show. Tell
us what happened?
Speaker 6 (00:58):
Hi, guys, it's so good to be here.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
Well that's good, Cynthia, look at you. Try an extra
heart again.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Yeah, so what happened?
Speaker 2 (01:08):
How did you get swept up in the confusion of
the online dating.
Speaker 6 (01:11):
Well Google is free, but it's a jungle.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
So yeah, yeah, wait you ask Google for advice instead
of like your friends.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
What should she ask her friends? Oh?
Speaker 4 (01:23):
No, I feel like you should run your profile by
your friends and see what they think if it's showing
you in the best.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Light or not.
Speaker 6 (01:29):
Well, we get there eventually, Okay.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
So I'm looking up all these different ways on how
I can get more matches with online dating, and some
of the things I found were that if your profile
picture has your hair out of your face, you're twenty
seven percent more likely to get a match.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
Yeah, unless you have an ugly face?
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Is that what the problem is, Cynthia? Can you confirm that?
For books over here? I shaved my no one's did.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
No one else take that?
Speaker 3 (02:04):
I didn't take that.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
I was thinking it's been on TikTok for all they said.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Guys like hair up.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Okay, okay, So twenty seven percent more likely if you
have your hair up out of.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Your face, right, and seventy six percent more likely if
you have a teeth. Smile if you smile with your teeth,
just assuming.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
You have all your teeth in there, right.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
I smile with my gums, gummy smile.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
That's only because your ratio. Yeah, okay, anything else.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
This is one from my side that I also find
to be pretty true. If you're alone in your pictures,
no friends, no one else in.
Speaker 6 (02:42):
The photo, you're sixty percent more likely.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
I swear There's been times where I'm swiping and I'm like,
what girl is the girl?
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Because every picture? Yeah, fun Jose, it's like spin the
wheel over? Who am I going to get? I think kid?
Just all group is weird?
Speaker 4 (03:01):
What'd you go it? Did you do some group, some solo?
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Did you do all one way?
Speaker 6 (03:06):
Well?
Speaker 3 (03:06):
No, I did all just single photos of me, because
I find that when I'm swiping for guys, if I
have to guess who you are in the photo, I'm
not going to I'm.
Speaker 6 (03:14):
Just gonna Okay.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
So did you take all that advice?
Speaker 4 (03:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Yeah, yeah, So I tried it and I forgot nothing
after a week. Nothing nothing nothing really remember like weirdos
of course, like guys who were very interous.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
So what did you change? Would you do to change
your luck?
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Well, she couldn't change her face up brooke like that one.
It's not very nice to tell her to get surgery before?
Can we like, move off of that and maybe get
to how how did you change your dating profile?
Speaker 1 (03:46):
That's what I asked, What did you change about yourself?
It was the way you said it. Yeah, we knew,
so what happened?
Speaker 3 (03:53):
So I just ended up asking my friend what she
thought of what I had uploaded.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Yeah, Brook, actually that's exactly what you said.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
What did your friend say?
Speaker 3 (04:03):
She said, looked like a Veloco wraptor.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Were you burying your teeth or smiling?
Speaker 3 (04:13):
She kept saying that I had such big teeth and
that was my hair pulled back, like my forehead looked
a bit. Dare she?
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Are you mad?
Speaker 4 (04:22):
Or are you like? I can see it?
Speaker 6 (04:23):
I mean I was humbled for sure.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
I'm trying to figure out who's mean or your friend
or Brooke. I could never say that to my friend.
Speaker 5 (04:33):
Oh my god?
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Oh wow. Okay, so she gave you a few tips
to change stuff.
Speaker 6 (04:37):
That was kind of all she said.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
I guess her tough love pushed me to kind of
just go back to the drawing board and just go
back to what I was already doing.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Are we ever going to get a date here?
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Or we like?
Speaker 4 (04:51):
What happened?
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Well?
Speaker 3 (04:52):
So I ended up just posting what I felt was
right for me, But I ended up getting a date
with this guy Aaron. Okay, yeah, we ended up texting.
We went out for like pizza and wine and stuff.
And it's funny because I told him about, you know,
my experience was trying to update my profile and that
was kind of the topic of conversation for most of
(05:14):
the night. We laughed about it and ended up taking
pictures of each other, you know, in dinosaur poses.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Really, Oh my god, I love it.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
See good sense of humor, embrace it, and now you bonded,
Although everybody else in the pizza parlor was like, what
the Yeah, I.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Know your pet names for each other are already raptor at.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Yeah, so what's happened since then?
Speaker 6 (05:40):
I just I haven't been able to hang out with
him in like a month. I was like a month ago.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
And it sounds like you've been texting. It just hasn't
lined up.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Yeah, like your schedules haven't lined up. You haven't been
able to find a good time, and I just, I
don't know, I'm getting a little discouraged. I felt like,
you know, we lost a bit of momentum, and I
was just wondering if you guys could give me some
advice or helped me out a little bit.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Well, Broo's gonna tell you to change the way your
voice sounds, so maybe not want to ask us for advice.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Doesn't talk about her.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
You sound amazing, You sound fun You sound funny and
self deprecating.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
About her broke? I know me, but what about her?
You know what?
Speaker 2 (06:16):
We're just gonna call this guy Aaron for you when
we come back and do your second date update right.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
After this hold on second date update.
Speaker 7 (06:26):
On the phone with us today is a woman who
just updated her dino dating profile the majestic Cynthia Saurus Rex.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
You know, I.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Think there was a lot worse dinosaurs she could have
been compared to.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
We're gonna call her c Rex for short, or maybe
just Cynthia, which is her normal name for human name.
But the reason why we're poking fun about it is
because she found an article online with all these tips
about what of pictures you should take if you want
to get better matches on dating sites, and she found
some ideas where you're supposed to pull your hair back,
(07:07):
show more teeth, it's supposed to get more guys to
swipe on you. But after a week online with no matches.
Her friend told her the truth, the reason no guys
are biting is because you look like a velociraptor.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
It looks like but listen, the most ferocious of the dinosaurs. Yes,
and with a very muscular built.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Better and doesn't look like that normally. It's just with
the new hair back do and the teeth bearing poses.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
It came across.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
Dinofe but she finally realized she just needed to be herself.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
That was the good, But it ended up being the
topic of conversation on her date with a guy named Aaron.
They had a great time together. The problem is that
was a month ago, and now she needs our help
to get things jump started once again.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Brooke, I'm afraid to even go to you. Every time
you say something it comes out offensive. But what do
you want to say? It's a cretaceous cynthia over here.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
No, I think it's good Cynthia that you and him
have been talking. You've been trying to get something nailed down.
I know it feels like maybe the what is it
called momentum has has dulled a little bit.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
That's exactly what she said.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
I just don't want you to come off as too needy,
you know, like this is your only option, because it's
not right.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
It might be your only option.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
We actually but we don't want to know. Cynthia.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Can you dial down the desperate needy vibes that you're
giving towards Brook right now?
Speaker 6 (08:30):
Oh my god, no problem. I don't mean to come
off super.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
Needy, don't. I don't think you are, you know, don't
bring up again the fact that you weren't getting a
lot of matches, because would do?
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Yeah, you want to make it.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Sound like this last month has been so packed and
oh my god, I totally forgot to call you so.
Speaker 8 (08:49):
Radio it.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
Yeah, exactly what.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
I texted you twenty times by accident.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Even if he if he says yes to a date,
maybe you tell him that you're maybe available.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
It's been so long first date it actually was.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
The time of the Dinosaur.
Speaker 5 (09:13):
Ye.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
We're gonna cut the advice segment of this short and
just call Aaron for you.
Speaker 1 (09:17):

if that's even true. Yeah, well, because she's super busy
right now.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
