3:17

haven't. We don't know that he is

3:20

if it's coming back for season two, but

3:22

we know that we've got our back nine

3:25

or back ten and all that stuff. Wow, that's

3:27

great, that's great. And has anybody

3:30

come up and and UM asked you for

3:32

autographs yet or pictures? Well?

3:34

Actually I was doing this um

3:36

this thing where someone's um asked me

3:38

to sign their hat, and like they asked

3:41

me to have their jacket, and then they asked

3:43

me to sign their paper. So

3:45

I have a lot of come ups and stuff.

3:48

And also how

3:50

did that make you feel? By the way, when they were asked that, that

3:52

made me feel so awesome,

3:55

Like I was like, oh your jacket.

3:57

Wow, I guess so we're

4:00

do you sign incursive or do you print? Well,

4:03

I kind of don't even know cursive,

4:06

so I kind of like M and

4:08

then like I squiggly and then I connected

4:10

to the y's fancy. Yeah, so it's like M

4:13

y K A L but like connected and it

4:15

looks absolutely crazy. Because here's

4:17

the deal. An autograph is different

4:19

from a signature. Like a signature, you got to actually

4:21

do your whole name autograph. You can like do like a scribble.

4:24

Yeah, just you know, little heads up right

4:26

there. So I have fun with it. What

4:57

Yeah, but they love roadblocks. Yes, I

4:59

5:01

We call each other and then we like we pause

5:03

each other and then we're always playing on the iPad.

5:06

So the play with the cousins too, so

5:09

it's like, um, so it's like we call each

5:11

5:13

call each other and we put it to the side of

5:15

our screen and we like we go on roadbots and
