moments for sure, but they did say so if you're
into Dune, and I've been following, they say that this
particular film is gonna be different than the other ones.

Speaker 3 (01:06):
So it's like a film all on its own. It isn't, aren't.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
I mean it's a part three, so it's definitely a continuation.
But there's something about this movie itself that is going
to be like on its own.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
The trailer is really good. I watched it yesterday that
just came out, and it I.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
Don't know anybody that watches as many trailers as you
watch trailers, Like I always hear about the trailer being
out there, and I'm like, cool, cool, But like you

Speaker 3 (01:29):
I mean, I'm excited for it or I'm not.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
And I love a trailer and it gets you so
excited for the movie, but they have to wait for
the movie.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
But I mean, I'll watch a trailer if it's in

goes out and seeks trailers as much as you do.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
That's cute. This girl needs to make a trailer of
her life. Have you heard of Kelsey Findler? So she's
being celebrated because she just did and set a solo
rowing record across the Pacific. So if you've been following her,
she went from California, Monterey area and she rowed herself

(02:04):
all the way to Oahu in a nineteen foot boat
named Lily Amazing. So her crossing makes her the first
American woman and the youngest woman to row the Middle
Pacific solo, which is terrifying and so hard and good
for her.

Speaker 3 (02:18):
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
Her boat also capsize at one point, so everyone was
really worried because all her water was gone. She had
like there's a way to make not make new water,
but like I think there was a way for her
to now generate water or something. But she had to
wait because like her solar panels had to It was
like at night something soso panels.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
I mean she, I mean she really thought this out though,
and she really prepared for it. Yeah, it took her
forty three days, seventeen hours and fifty five minutes at sea.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
Wait is that the fact?

Speaker 1 (02:47):
For a minute, they thought, I say they, But she
also thought she was possibly going to be the fastest
American ever, not just woman to do it.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
It doesn't say that she was the fastest ever. I
don't know how long it took the last person, but
I mean there's a chance. She's definitely setting all kinds
of records. I always just wonder what crosses a person's mind,
Like what were you doing the moment you decided I'm
gonna do this. I'm gonna row from Monterey to Wahoo.
She says now that resilience is messy, but strength is

(03:15):
there if people choose it.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
Yeah, her videos use you to post on TikTok and
is it's so much fun to watch because it's really cool.

So good for her, Yeah, good for her. She did
it and she can say that now. I mean that's
a movie in the making. Oh yes, yeah for sure.
