just funny and we're glad it's not us. He showed
us a container that he put in the microwave the
other day to heart his food up, and he completely
melted the container, like melted in like it went like
like when you get like he sucks up the air out.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
Of like because he didn't put the like there's a
little lead on the top of the air out and
he did not do.

heat sealed container into a microwave, he melts.

a full egg salad. And when he was doing it,
