00:00 I just got the phones are taught at Gerald in Kalpins. Gerald, what's going on my man? Hey now Charlie, if we're taking millions of gallons of oil out of Iran, where's it going? It's going on the market. It's going to where it was supposed to go to begin with. That's why, that's why, like President Trump said, oil has been uh below or right at $90 a barrel right now. All right. Appreciate you buddy. My pal, thank you very much. We were in 00:29 Basically, we've been oil smugglers. the United States, we've been smuggling oil out of Iran. So John, okay, let me tell you what happened today. It's been a very hectic day. 00:40 Because we depend on our phones. 00:44 probably a lot more than we realize. So here at work, we've got a two-factor authentication system to where I put in my email address, I put in my password, and then the system will send me um a message and I click yes, it's just making sure that I am who I say I am, and for that I need my phone. I did not have my phone today. I have not had my phone since 10 o'clock this morning. 01:14 So John was asking me, Charlie, the $64,000 question is, what happened to your phone? Well, it's kind of an embarrassing story. 01:34 After the election night last night, it was a long night, got home, went to bed late. I decided I was going to get up this morning, I was going to treat myself to an early morning round of golf. Okay? Went out there, cheat off at eight o'clock, made the turn. I completed nine holes, went to the 10th hole, hit a fantastic drive on the 10th hole. But on the 10th hole at Carolina Springs, we've got a big pond on the left. 02:04 and a little pond on the right, and there's a walkway going between the two ponds. This pond had about an inch and a half of standing water because of all the rain that we've had. Yesterday we had a lot of rain. uh The ponds had filled up. There's about an inch and a half of standing water, and the ponds had actually connected there. They were overflowing the walkway. It was overflowing the walkway, but it's about an inch and a half. So I've got an electric car. 02:35 and I just, I hit the button on the electric cart and it's motoring through the water. I've done this, I've done this a hundred times in the past when the water gets high. So I'm walking and I'm wearing waterproof shoes. So that's not a problem. So I'm just kind of wading through the water behind my cart and my cart takes a hard left turn. No reason whatsoever. It just goes hard to the left. 03:06 Well, I go to grab my cart. So I step to the left. Well, guess what? There was no left. There was no walkway. Where I stepped, there was no walkway. So the cart goes in the water. The phone goes in the water. Charlie goes in the water. I am absolutely, up to my, literally up to my neck in the pond at the golf course. 03:33 Idiots I'm playing with, they're laughing their heads off about this thing. And I'm halfway laughing about it. Nobody's trying to help me just yet. Somebody said, need video. Stacey Bartrow said, we need video. So I'm there. Not only am I in the water, now I'm trying to get out of the water. The cart has been caught up in a rope that was under the water. I'm trying to pull myself out, trying to pull the cart out, finally got everything out. I am absolutely drenched. I'm sloshing everywhere I walk. 04:03 turned my bag upside down, it must have had five gallons of water in it, it was just that full, everything went in the pond, and that's what happened to my phone. So I thought, just like everybody, because I bet you what you guys are saying right now, you're saying, well Charlie, you should have put that phone in a bag of rice. Aha, yes, you're exactly right. I should have put that phone in a bag of rice. 04:31 And when I got home, did put that phone in a bag of rice because, by the way, I didn't think the phone was damaged because the inside of the, um I guess it's the zippered compartment on the bag, that was relatively d ...
