00:21beginning of our journey and that is a hell of a pick-me-up.
00:27Yeah it's just really how rare is that to be talking about it before you've
00:32even shot it and luckily it doesn't feel too overwhelmingly scary and many things
00:39do but it doesn't because we're as a four together so we're all going through
00:42it just like the characters went through things always together you know
00:45occasionally one of them left the group a little bit but they always came back
00:48so here we are as a group coming out here and being with everybody that love
