[Laughter] Do you want a divorce? Oh, no, that only happened once and he was like— and he didn't realize I did it. I just went— It wasn't even about cats. It was like we were debating on like a
02:46
Speaker A

05:53
Speaker A
Shane sniped you, go. That actually weirdly reminds me of a bit my brother did like a— I was like seven, so it worked on me unfortunately, where I couldn't find my brother for a minute. Like we're in the
06:05
Speaker A
backyard and I was like, "Chris, where'd you go?" And then all of a sudden he shows up. He's like, "Shane." Like I forget what he said. He said something like, "I just went back in time." And I went back and like this
06:13
Speaker A
was crazy. I was like, "No, you didn't." I was like, "No, you didn't." And then eventually he kept it going all night until I was like, that's— I can't believe that happened and then I didn't go.
06:25
Speaker A
Can't believe you got to go back in time and I didn't. You got chosen.
