Ever been on the receiving end of a sibling's prank? You'll be in good company with our guests Kai and Lance from the Air Force. We tread the path of childhood mischief, sharing laugh-out-loud stories from the good old days. Kai's epic prank on his brother will make you cackle while Lance's shenanigans will leave you in stitches. As the laughter subsides, and the Washington sky pours outside, we transition into a discussion that hits closer to home.
Let's step away from the levity for a moment and spare a thought for those enduring the nerve-wracking wait for any sign of life from hostages in Gaza. We get real and raw about the emotional turmoil these families go through and the additional precautions our military must take in such turbulent times. It's a tough topic, but we hope for peace and resolution.Â
Who would have thought that a Palestinian protest in Cincinnati, the fear of darkness, and man-eating crocodiles in New York sewers could be discussed in the same breath? Yet, here we are. We debate on the significance of raising awareness for the Palestinian cause and then switch gears to discuss a prevalent fear in the US - walking alone at night. To lighten the mood, we jump into a riveting tale of a woman finding a crocodile in her toilet in Russia, and our peculiar desire to taste the legendary ninja turtle pizza from the sewers. Join us on this rollercoaster of emotions, from the lighthearted to the profound.

All I did with my sister growingup, I just I remember going to
bed and before we'd go to bedI'd hustle in the bedroom and I
was like I don't know seven orsomething and she was like three
.
This is like some real tortureshit going on.
So I'd run in my room and wewere in bunk beds and I'd take a
(08:23):
bunch of little babies you know, like stuffed animals, like
babies.
Take a bunch of babies, I putthem up in my bed, hide them
under the pillow and I'd be likeit's tired, it's time to go to
bed.

like super cute like majorinnocent.
She's like okay, let's go to bed.
(08:43):
She goes to bed.
My mom puts us to bed.
I go up, get in my bed.
Mom turns out light, leaves,leaves door open because I'm
scared of everything.
And then I'm like, lookingaround, I was like all right
coast is clear and I'm bam.

quickly go to sleep.
My mom would come running andgo what's going?

Speaker 2 (09:31):
So okay, so we got I mean, you know, we got a couple
of wars going on in this world,man, like some some serious shit
going on, people dying, israelstill.
Yeah Well, ukraine, israel,russia, you know, palestinians,
all that stuff, and I didn'twant to talk too much about it
because it's like superemotional and it's a lot of big
(09:51):
stuff.
But one thing that was kind ofseemed safe and important to
talk about was the families ofthe hostages in Gaza.
They're still looking just forproof of life, uh-huh Like so
did the Israelis bomb them into?
Did they kill them all, bombingthem?
Are they all dead?
I mean, they haven't heardnothing.
How?
Speaker 4 (10:10):
many people are we talking here?
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Like 200 plus people Whoa that they kidnapped, that
are just gone, and this is kindof crazy if you think about it.
I mean, imagine going for acouple of months and your
brother's missing.
Yeah, it'd be terrible, youknow, you don't know if he's
alive or dead.
I don't know how that feelingsinside you would, but you could
seriously like be crazy for therest of your life.
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
You know it's.
I'm pretty sure it's worse,knowing or not knowing where
they are than knowing thatthey're, at least you know.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Yeah, because, because, like every, single one
of these people could come back.
Yeah, and you're like mentallytrashed forever.
Yeah, you know, I think it's.
I think it's like maybe like acouple of days.
You know like, hey, my brothergot or my sister or somebody got
kidnapped a couple of days.
They come back, all good, right, yeah, but I mean we're talking
like a month and a half, twomonths or whatever's going on
(10:58):
now and these people are like noproof of life or nothing.
I mean that's tough as well.
It's just.
It's just.
It just kind of like it bothersme.
I feel sad for the people thatare having to like go through
that stuff, but how do you, howdo you guys feel about it?
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Well, it's interesting because, as a
military member, they'restarting to take more
precautions and even though I'mnot even deployed or anywhere
you know I'm in Ohio they'restill like.
I got a text from my NCO and hewas like Created this group,
chat for everybody and said hey,everybody check in making sure
you're okay, making sure you'realive, mm-hmm, and it was like
(11:34):
30, 40 people all like yep, I'mgood, you know I'm alive.
All as well.
Yep, all is well clear.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
How about?
How about you guy?
You got anything for me on CO.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Um same thing same thing, same thing.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
It's a head wide yeah heads up yeah, people are
getting deployed to places andare you guys?
Speaker 2 (11:51):
are you guys feeling pretty safe?
Speaker 4 (11:53):
For the most part, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's just, it's kind ofnerve-wracking when, like you
see, people like right next to I, had a, a Friend of mine and he
just got deployed within like18 days.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
So, yeah, so you're.
So people are getting Deployed,people getting moved out,
things are happening, you know,and it's fucking scary, yeah,
yeah, yeah.
So, so that's the impact thatis having on you guys.
You know You're, you're seeingthis horrible stuff happen and
you're thinking like it itbrings, brings the bar up a
little bit, makes you guys alittle nervous.
Yeah, you know.
(12:27):
But definitely you know, I meanI don't know every, every,
every, every branch of militaryplays their role.
You know, and I feel like youknow, for the Air Force there's,
it has a Significant role insupporting, like I feel like the
Air Force in my mind has alwaysit supports all the branches.
Yes, you know, I mean.
(12:48):
So like we bomb and the forthese guys, we bomb it for these
guys.
You know we're supportingwhoever's down there by the air.
Yeah, you know so until we workwith yeah.
So Hopefully, you know, thissuper touchy subject gets, gets
dealt with and people starthearing about their family
members and things startClearing up.
I just wanted to hear what yourguys's perspective wasn't in
(13:11):
your world, you know.
So for me it's just like it, isit?
I feel real bad for the people.
I mean, of course, the peoplethat got kidnapped that sucks,
but I mean the people that arehaving to deal with it.
You know I was like I'd lose mymind.
I know I would not functionproperly with that going on.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
Yeah, we saw that Palestinian protest in a Sinsi.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, that'sright, that's right yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Palestinians are out there saying, you know, don't
forget, yeah, so they were, wewere, we were eating and we went
to the bangles game.
Oh, and there was a Palestinianprotest, yeah, and they were.
Well, there were, it was, itwas a, it was a nice one, it was
, everything was fine, and theywere just saying don't forget
about the Palestinians.
Yeah, yeah, you know it's like,hey, you know, all the the
(13:56):
people that got kidnapped andall the Israelis and Jews and
stuff, they're getting a lot ofattention, but also there's
Palestinians, don't forget aboutthem.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
So, it's?
Speaker 2 (14:06):
they were just like Raising awareness.
I think so, but it seemedpretty peaceful, it seemed fine.
I don't, I don't, I didn't seeanything going on.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
Yeah, but then you see those videos on the internet
, the people with the Israelflags and the Palestine flags
and there's like two sides ifit's not, unlike CBS yeah, nbc
or CNN, I'm not watching it,okay, okay.
Well, there's like Instagramvideos of, like you know.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
And those things are.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
College campuses is where it's.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
I don't like to watch those things other than I.
It's like entertainment.
I try to I try to get myinformation from legitimate news
sources that edit out thingsthat are like gross and not
healthy and not safe for my mindto watch and stuff like that,
and so I I.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
Instagram is not considered.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Sense Censorship, then sense editing yeah, if
they're taking out stuff, I'mtalking about like Some guy goes
running up and and like unloadshis gun into a crowd of people.
I don't need to see all thepeople dying.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
Yeah, well, I'm not really talking about that.
I'm talking about likespecifics, people, certain, like
interviews, not getting likementioned, oh yeah, for sure the
news.
The news is good until the newsIs gonna do something good for
some.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
I guess I just like to have, I just like to watch
news.
It has some credibility.
Yes, they all have.
I don't think I don't thinkwhat you're saying is talking
about censorship.
I think what you're talkingabout is like they're Showing
you what a piece of theinformation right.
So right in a way that theywant you to see it.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
Well, yeah, they're just leaning towards.
Yeah, they're in one directionor the other.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Yeah, that's censorship, but that's also like
that's more complicated than Iknow.
That's basically like they wantyou to hear their side of the
story, right, so what you can dois you can, you can read
Newspapers you can read, you canlisten to, like places like NPR
.
Npr is kind of a fair kind ofnews Broadcasting where they
(16:07):
their real thing is like bothsides of the story.
Bbc, and Then you know a newssource that seems kind of
accurate to me is you know allthe, all the big players.
You know the CNN, nbc, stufflike that.
I just I watch a lot of CNNbecause I just like the way that
they report Uh-huh.
But there's also other otherguys out there like vice news.
(16:30):
They literally go out there,they do.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
I was about to say the people that are going out
there and reporting they'regoing out there, feel like would
be more credible.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Yeah, so the and I watch them too, and they go out
there with a camera, with a mic,and they stand in front of a
tank with Dead people on it orwhatever it is, you know, and
they're like I'm in Ukraine.
Russia just bombed this tankand five people died and yes,
and that's the real nice, clean,accurate news.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Yeah, that's what I was like more talking about.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Yeah and I watch that too, yeah, but then there's the
, the mainstream media stuff too.
That's you just.
You just have to be mindful ofwhat's going on and be like,
okay, I take that with like alittle bit of weight and then
I'll go look somewhere else too.
So, yeah, you have to bemindful of that.
So the thing now talking aboutthat they took a poll.
(17:19):
The Charlotte observer tookthis interesting poll with a
bunch of people.
40% of Americans fear walkingalone at night.
It's the highest in decades.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
I mean, yeah, when I see a girl walking late at night
, like I want to make sure shegets home safe, right, yeah, so
I'm, like you know, put on allblack.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
I'm not surprised at this at all.
To me this seems likereasonable stuff common sense.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Yeah, I mean, I was scared.
I didn't watch any TV when Iwas four or five years old.
I was scared of the dark.
Yeah, I mean the dark is ascary place, right monsters come
out at night the mob.
Speaker 5 (18:05):
Yeah skeletons, skeleton zombies creepers,
zombies creepers.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
Well, there's that one thing that always gets me.
It's when it's pitch black inthe room and you're going to
leave the room.
You know this looking you turnaround.
Yeah, isn't, yeah, you knowthere's that monster right
behind you.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Yeah, yeah, when you exit the cave man, yeah, you
have to like back there clickthe light and then take off up
the stairs.
Later.
Yeah, yeah, what's the scariestthing you guys have experienced

No, I didn't hear about yeah, so something like 15
million rubber duckies werereleased into the ocean.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Huh, and they're just floating around, showing up on
beaches everywhere.
That's pretty cool yeah.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
Imagine you're just eating that.
Like that lobster and fuckinghalf a duckies have a duckies in
there.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Two more grams of protein.
We feeling good now.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
So how are they cleaning these things?
That's what I'm thinking about.
Like covered in shit, right,yeah, well, there in the sewers.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Well, the sewer systems in Washington state.
They can process everything butheavy metals okay.
So literally anything can go inthese things.
You don't want to, you want allthe paper and human waste and
that's it.
But it can process everythingbut heavy metals.
So Every certain amount of timeI don't know once a month or
twice a month or something thesewer systems I've been in there
(23:25):
and I've inspected them andworked on them and stuff for
other structural reasons, andhow they smell, they, they're
wretched.
Yeah, it starts out with thelegit stuff, and then it breaks
it all the way down to drinkablewater at the end with drinkable
water.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Drinkable water Yep, tasty dude, I don't know water.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
But then it has a base filter that they pull out
and it's full of metals Whoa,all different kinds of metals.
Human teeth Whoa, um, you know.
Pieces of rings, things missingparts of guns get grinded up in
the system, all kinds of stuff.
But it's, yeah, it's see, youknow they got all these things
going on, but the they're mostlyworried about you guys ever
(24:05):
flushing anything down thetoilet when you're a kid.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Yeah, all the time, yeah, living fish.
I didn't want to take care ofanymore Freakin, poor little guy
Um right yeah fishes name.
Wow, they didn't even have aname.

I don't know why it's alwaysfish living in dead fish.
(24:28):
Yeah, all bunch of sketchystuff all the time.
Speaker 2 (24:31):

listening to news on the radioand there was this lady and
she's like I don't even knowwhat happened, but a crocodile
came out of my toilet.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (24:48):

That's some bullshit.
Look it up.
A crocodile, like a littlecrocodile, came out of her
toilet.
So long ago, like back in the80s, there was a infestation of
like man-eating crocodiles inthe New York sewer system,
friend and they're huge.

Speaker 3 (25:08):
Long.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Yeah, that's what I was gnarly and they grew up down
there and they got trapped downthere and they're feeding off
something rats, probably, whoaand they were super aggressive
and they had to go in there andget them all out.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Oh, I'm on that job, do you?
Speaker 2 (25:21):
imagine being in the sewer working on some plumbing
pipes.

Speaker 2 (07:59):
Yeah, that's pretty funny, that's pretty funny,

All I did with my sister growingup, I just I remember going to
bed and before we'd go to bedI'd hustle in the bedroom and I
was like I don't know seven orsomething and she was like three
.
This is like some real tortureshit going on.
So I'd run in my room and wewere in bunk beds and I'd take a
(08:23):
bunch of little babies you know, like stuffed animals, like
babies.
Take a bunch of babies, I putthem up in my bed, hide them
under the pillow and I'd be likeit's tired, it's time to go to
bed.
And then my sister, she waslike this miniature human being,
like super cute like majorinnocent.
She's like okay, let's go to bed.
(08:43):
She goes to bed.
My mom puts us to bed.
I go up, get in my bed.
Mom turns out light, leaves,leaves door open because I'm
scared of everything.
And then I'm like, lookingaround, I was like all right
coast is clear and I'm bam.
I'd throw him down, smack herright in the head and I'd
quickly go to sleep.
My mom would come running andgo what's going?
On.
Speaker 5 (09:02):

Foundation Nation is sponsored by Seattle's tiny
housescom.
Schedule your free tour todayto explore the leaf, seattle's
most unique tiny house.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
So okay, so we got I mean, you know, we got a couple
of wars going on in this world,man, like some some serious shit
going on, people dying, israelstill.
Yeah Well, ukraine, israel,russia, you know, palestinians,
all that stuff, and I didn'twant to talk too much about it
because it's like superemotional and it's a lot of big
(09:51):
stuff.
But one thing that was kind ofseemed safe and important to
talk about was the families ofthe hostages in Gaza.
They're still looking just forproof of life, uh-huh Like so
did the Israelis bomb them into?
Did they kill them all, bombingthem?
Are they all dead?
I mean, they haven't heardnothing.
How?
Speaker 4 (10:10):
many people are we talking here?
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Like 200 plus people Whoa that they kidnapped, that
are just gone, and this is kindof crazy if you think about it.
I mean, imagine going for acouple of months and your
brother's missing.
Yeah, it'd be terrible, youknow, you don't know if he's
alive or dead.
I don't know how that feelingsinside you would, but you could
seriously like be crazy for therest of your life.
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
You know it's.
I'm pretty sure it's worse,knowing or not knowing where
they are than knowing thatthey're, at least you know.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Yeah, because, because, like every, single one
of these people could come back.
Yeah, and you're like mentallytrashed forever.
Yeah, you know, I think it's.
I think it's like maybe like acouple of days.
You know like, hey, my brothergot or my sister or somebody got
kidnapped a couple of days.
They come back, all good, right, yeah, but I mean we're talking
like a month and a half, twomonths or whatever's going on
(10:58):
now and these people are like noproof of life or nothing.
I mean that's tough as well.
It's just.
It's just.
It just kind of like it bothersme.
I feel sad for the people thatare having to like go through
that stuff, but how do you, howdo you guys feel about it?
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Well, it's interesting because, as a
military member, they'restarting to take more
precautions and even though I'mnot even deployed or anywhere
you know I'm in Ohio they'restill like.
I got a text from my NCO and hewas like Created this group,
chat for everybody and said hey,everybody check in making sure
you're okay, making sure you'realive, mm-hmm, and it was like
(11:34):
30, 40 people all like yep, I'mgood, you know I'm alive.
All as well.
Yep, all is well clear.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
How about?
How about you guy?
You got anything for me on CO.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Um same thing same thing, same thing.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
It's a head wide yeah heads up yeah, people are
getting deployed to places andare you guys?
Speaker 2 (11:51):
are you guys feeling pretty safe?
Speaker 4 (11:53):
For the most part, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's just, it's kind ofnerve-wracking when, like you
see, people like right next to I, had a, a Friend of mine and he
just got deployed within like18 days.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
So, yeah, so you're.
So people are getting Deployed,people getting moved out,
things are happening, you know,and it's fucking scary, yeah,
yeah, yeah.
So, so that's the impact thatis having on you guys.
You know You're, you're seeingthis horrible stuff happen and
you're thinking like it itbrings, brings the bar up a
little bit, makes you guys alittle nervous.
Yeah, you know.
(12:27):
But definitely you know, I meanI don't know every, every,
every, every branch of militaryplays their role.
You know, and I feel like youknow, for the Air Force there's,
it has a Significant role insupporting, like I feel like the
Air Force in my mind has alwaysit supports all the branches.
Yes, you know, I mean.
(12:48):
So like we bomb and the forthese guys, we bomb it for these
guys.
You know we're supportingwhoever's down there by the air.
Yeah, you know so until we workwith yeah.
So Hopefully, you know, thissuper touchy subject gets, gets
dealt with and people starthearing about their family
members and things startClearing up.
I just wanted to hear what yourguys's perspective wasn't in
(13:11):
your world, you know.
So for me it's just like it, isit?
I feel real bad for the people.
I mean, of course, the peoplethat got kidnapped that sucks,
but I mean the people that arehaving to deal with it.
You know I was like I'd lose mymind.
I know I would not functionproperly with that going on.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
Yeah, we saw that Palestinian protest in a Sinsi.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, that'sright, that's right yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Palestinians are out there saying, you know, don't
forget, yeah, so they were, wewere, we were eating and we went
to the bangles game.
Oh, and there was a Palestinianprotest, yeah, and they were.
Well, there were, it was, itwas a, it was a nice one, it was
, everything was fine, and theywere just saying don't forget
about the Palestinians.
Yeah, yeah, you know it's like,hey, you know, all the the
(13:56):
people that got kidnapped andall the Israelis and Jews and
stuff, they're getting a lot ofattention, but also there's
Palestinians, don't forget aboutthem.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
So, it's?
Speaker 2 (14:06):
they were just like Raising awareness.
I think so, but it seemedpretty peaceful, it seemed fine.
I don't, I don't, I didn't seeanything going on.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
Yeah, but then you see those videos on the internet
, the people with the Israelflags and the Palestine flags
and there's like two sides ifit's not, unlike CBS yeah, nbc
or CNN, I'm not watching it,okay, okay.
Well, there's like Instagramvideos of, like you know.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
And those things are.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
College campuses is where it's.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
I don't like to watch those things other than I.
It's like entertainment.
I try to I try to get myinformation from legitimate news
sources that edit out thingsthat are like gross and not
healthy and not safe for my mindto watch and stuff like that,
and so I I.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
Instagram is not considered.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Sense Censorship, then sense editing yeah, if
they're taking out stuff, I'mtalking about like Some guy goes
running up and and like unloadshis gun into a crowd of people.
I don't need to see all thepeople dying.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
Yeah, well, I'm not really talking about that.
I'm talking about likespecifics, people, certain, like
interviews, not getting likementioned, oh yeah, for sure the
news.
The news is good until the newsIs gonna do something good for
some.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
I guess I just like to have, I just like to watch
news.
It has some credibility.
Yes, they all have.
I don't think I don't thinkwhat you're saying is talking
about censorship.
I think what you're talkingabout is like they're Showing
you what a piece of theinformation right.
So right in a way that theywant you to see it.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
Well, yeah, they're just leaning towards.
Yeah, they're in one directionor the other.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Yeah, that's censorship, but that's also like
that's more complicated than Iknow.
That's basically like they wantyou to hear their side of the
story, right, so what you can dois you can, you can read
Newspapers you can read, you canlisten to, like places like NPR
.
Npr is kind of a fair kind ofnews Broadcasting where they
(16:07):
their real thing is like bothsides of the story.
Bbc, and Then you know a newssource that seems kind of
accurate to me is you know allthe, all the big players.
You know the CNN, nbc, stufflike that.
I just I watch a lot of CNNbecause I just like the way that
they report Uh-huh.
But there's also other otherguys out there like vice news.
(16:30):
They literally go out there,they do.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
I was about to say the people that are going out
there and reporting they'regoing out there, feel like would
be more credible.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Yeah, so the and I watch them too, and they go out
there with a camera, with a mic,and they stand in front of a
tank with Dead people on it orwhatever it is, you know, and
they're like I'm in Ukraine.
Russia just bombed this tankand five people died and yes,
and that's the real nice, clean,accurate news.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Yeah, that's what I was like more talking about.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Yeah and I watch that too, yeah, but then there's the
, the mainstream media stuff too.
That's you just.
You just have to be mindful ofwhat's going on and be like,
okay, I take that with like alittle bit of weight and then
I'll go look somewhere else too.
So, yeah, you have to bemindful of that.
So the thing now talking aboutthat they took a poll.
(17:19):
The Charlotte observer tookthis interesting poll with a
bunch of people.
40% of Americans fear walkingalone at night.
It's the highest in decades.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
I mean, yeah, when I see a girl walking late at night
, like I want to make sure shegets home safe, right, yeah, so
I'm, like you know, put on allblack.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
I'm not surprised at this at all.
To me this seems likereasonable stuff common sense.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Yeah, I mean, I was scared.
I didn't watch any TV when Iwas four or five years old.
I was scared of the dark.
Yeah, I mean the dark is ascary place, right monsters come
out at night the mob.
Speaker 5 (18:05):
Yeah skeletons, skeleton zombies creepers,
zombies creepers.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
Well, there's that one thing that always gets me.
It's when it's pitch black inthe room and you're going to
leave the room.
You know this looking you turnaround.
Yeah, isn't, yeah, you knowthere's that monster right
behind you.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Yeah, yeah, when you exit the cave man, yeah, you
have to like back there clickthe light and then take off up
the stairs.
Later.
Yeah, yeah, what's the scariestthing you guys have experienced
in a dark darkness man?
Do you have any?
Do you have any dark wholestories?
Hmm, so I'll tell you one toget to get the ball rolling in
(18:42):
your noggin's.
So I was.
I don't know exactly what yearthis is, but I think I was eight
or nine.
Oh, and my old man took me tosee predator.
Oh, yeah, all right, dude, likeyou, don't do this to kids, man
, this is like trashes theirsoul.
So I'm in the theater is likeme and my old man, and and At
some point during the movie withthis predator, he takes his
(19:04):
mask off.
