- You are listening to
the living BDSM podcast.

2
00:00:12,735 --> 00:00:15,325
Kayla, the Lord's here with
the one, the only, the guy

3
00:00:15,345 --> 00:00:17,085
who was like, ready to do this

4
00:00:17,085 --> 00:00:18,525
before I was ready to do this.

5
00:00:18,985 --> 00:00:20,125
That's brownstone.

6
00:00:20,785 --> 00:00:22,885
Who are you and what have
you done with my dom husband

7
00:00:22,985 --> 00:00:24,005
and business partner?

8
00:00:24,395 --> 00:00:28,525
- This is our last
recording day before break.

9
00:00:28,875 --> 00:00:29,885
- It's true,
- That's true.

10
00:00:29,885 --> 00:00:32,725
And I'm ready to pound
it out and get her done.

11
00:00:33,585 --> 00:00:35,685
- That's what, that's what
he said. Yeah. <laugh>.

12
00:00:37,825 --> 00:00:38,725
Um, <laugh>,

13
00:00:42,265 --> 00:00:43,445
uh, I'm sorry.

14
00:00:43,905 --> 00:00:47,925
You rendered me speechless.
We are time traveling.

15
00:00:47,945 --> 00:00:50,285
You will be listening to
this while we are hopefully

16
00:00:50,295 --> 00:00:52,645
blissfully not doing a fucking thing.

17
00:00:52,645 --> 00:00:53,645
Y'all <laugh> right?

18
00:00:53,905 --> 00:00:55,605
We are definitely at a point
where we need some time

19
00:00:55,605 --> 00:00:57,285
to just do nothing.

20
00:00:58,225 --> 00:01:01,005
I'm not sure we're capable of
it, but we'll find out. So as

21
00:01:01,005 --> 00:01:02,765
- Close to it as we're capable of, right?

22
00:01:02,765 --> 00:01:04,485
- Right. <laugh>, that's not
what we're talking about.

23
00:01:04,785 --> 00:01:06,445
Uh, this week. Uh, no, no.

24
00:01:06,805 --> 00:01:09,165
<laugh> uh, this week we're
answering a question from Adam

25
00:01:09,185 --> 00:01:11,885
Dom who wants to help their
partner heal from past trauma,

26
00:01:12,305 --> 00:01:13,605
but can't stop worrying

27
00:01:13,605 --> 00:01:17,045
that their submissive behaviors
might be based on the past

28
00:01:17,185 --> 00:01:18,205
and not on their dynamic.

29
00:01:18,755 --> 00:01:20,365
Welcome to the Living BDSM podcast.

And if you like us,

<laugh>, you can do that.

37
00:01:38,755 --> 00:01:40,485
There's a link in the show notes

38
00:01:40,545 --> 00:01:42,765
and on our website, loving bdsm.net.

39
00:01:42,785 --> 00:01:44,685
- Oh, this is gonna be a long day, right?

40
00:01:45,085 --> 00:01:46,885
- <laugh> that just
says, ask your questions

41
00:01:46,945 --> 00:01:49,045
and you just click the link
and you put in your info

42
00:01:49,045 --> 00:01:50,365
and it comes to us as an email.

43
00:01:50,905 --> 00:01:53,085
And ta-da, you've submitted your question.

44
00:01:53,465 --> 00:01:55,005
If you reque do a question

45
00:01:55,505 --> 00:01:57,525
and ask us things as if we are Google.

46
00:01:57,845 --> 00:02:01,005
I will not include that
in a future episode.

47
00:02:01,005 --> 00:02:04,325
We've gotten at least
one where it was like how

48
00:02:04,325 --> 00:02:05,605
to have a DSS dynamic.

49
00:02:05,885 --> 00:02:08,285
I was like, that's our
whole, like, that's, I mean,

50
00:02:08,505 --> 00:02:10,365
if you googled that,
you probably came to us.

51
00:02:10,625 --> 00:02:13,685
We have a whole website. Like
this is situational stuff.

52
00:02:13,755 --> 00:02:16,165
This is like, come on now. More

53
00:02:16,685 --> 00:02:17,965
- <laugh> a little more nuanced than

54
00:02:17,965 --> 00:02:18,965
- That.

55
00:02:18,965 --> 00:02:19,805
Right. We're, we're not, we're not Google.

56
00:02:20,745 --> 00:02:21,805
We, uh, excuse me.

57
00:02:21,865 --> 00:02:25,005
We try to have, um,
information on our site.

58
00:02:25,005 --> 00:02:27,965
We try to be helpful,
but these episodes are,

59
00:02:28,955 --> 00:02:30,165
like you said, situational.

60
00:02:30,965 --> 00:02:33,205
I am already ranting and
we have not even gotten

61
00:02:33,355 --> 00:02:34,355
- Into campus.

62
00:02:34,355 --> 00:02:34,965
We've not even gotten anywhere yet.

63
00:02:34,975 --> 00:02:39,285
We're still in the intro.
I know. This is not, um,

64
00:02:39,715 --> 00:02:40,845
- This is gonna be interesting.

65
00:02:40,875 --> 00:02:44,565
Yeah. Okay. Let's get into this question.

66
00:02:45,665 --> 00:02:47,685
Myself and my partner, both 51,

67
00:02:47,685 --> 00:02:49,245
have been together for three years.

68
00:02:49,625 --> 00:02:52,805
We have a caregiver, little
24 7 power exchange. Mm-Hmm.

69
00:02:52,845 --> 00:02:55,725
<affirmative>. She, my partner
is coming from a 20 year off

70
00:02:55,725 --> 00:02:58,605
again on again marriage
with an abusive narcissist.

71
00:02:58,605 --> 00:03:00,205
Mm-Hmm. Our relationship is good.

72
00:03:00,205 --> 00:03:01,285
And I'm doing everything I can

73
00:03:01,285 --> 00:03:02,805
to help her heal from the past trauma

74
00:03:02,825 --> 00:03:04,325
of those 20 years of garbage.

75
00:03:05,305 --> 00:03:07,325
One of the things the ex would do would be

76
00:03:07,325 --> 00:03:10,085
to throw a fit in public
if the trip took any longer

77
00:03:10,085 --> 00:03:11,365
than he thought it should take.

78
00:03:11,665 --> 00:03:13,565
And that fit would include humiliating.

79
00:03:13,565 --> 00:03:18,245
My partner, my issue, when we
go out shopping as we are need

80
00:03:18,245 --> 00:03:20,285
to do at times, my baby girl will ask me,

81
00:03:20,285 --> 00:03:21,925
can we go look at insert thing here?

82
00:03:22,205 --> 00:03:24,685
I have no problem with this.
So I of course go Sure.

83
00:03:25,185 --> 00:03:27,165
At one point, once we
got home, I told her,

84
00:03:27,165 --> 00:03:29,405
when we're out shopping, if
you wanna look at something,

85
00:03:29,465 --> 00:03:32,365
you can just say, let's
go look at it was then

86
00:03:32,365 --> 00:03:34,845
that she told me, part of
the reason why I ask is

87
00:03:34,845 --> 00:03:36,085
because I'm the baby girl

88
00:03:36,105 --> 00:03:37,685
and I'm supposed to ask permission.

89
00:03:38,555 --> 00:03:39,685
This makes total sense.

90
00:03:39,705 --> 00:03:41,245
And I love that she wants to do this.

91
00:03:41,705 --> 00:03:44,325
The problem is my annoying
brain is saying in the back

92
00:03:44,325 --> 00:03:46,765
of my head, she's always
had to ask permission

93
00:03:46,765 --> 00:03:47,805
to do anything from her ex.

94
00:03:48,095 --> 00:03:49,965
She's not used to being
an independent person.

95
00:03:50,425 --> 00:03:53,805
So my question, how do I
wrestle my annoying brain into

96
00:03:53,925 --> 00:03:57,565
getting this in her, leaning
into her submissive role

97
00:03:57,625 --> 00:03:59,965
and not her being stuck in an old tape?

98
00:04:02,285 --> 00:04:03,365
Hmm. Oh, that's rough.

99
00:04:03,635 --> 00:04:07,085
- Yeah. - I mean, my first
thing is she's told you,

100
00:04:07,575 --> 00:04:08,885
she's told you that from her

101
00:04:08,885 --> 00:04:10,125
perspective, she's the baby girl.

102
00:04:10,305 --> 00:04:12,765
She needs to ask permission, which

103
00:04:13,985 --> 00:04:15,165
it might not be worded this way.

104
00:04:15,165 --> 00:04:17,005
And this is me reading
between the lines. Mm-Hmm.

105
00:04:17,045 --> 00:04:18,285
<affirmative>. So ask for clarification.

106
00:04:18,705 --> 00:04:20,405
But that sounds to me like that's

107
00:04:20,405 --> 00:04:22,005
what she wants to do as a baby girl.

108
00:04:22,005 --> 00:04:23,325
Right. And so basically,

109
00:04:23,715 --> 00:04:25,365
just like we tell subs all the time,

110
00:04:25,505 --> 00:04:27,245
at some point you just
have to believe you're Dom.

111
00:04:27,395 --> 00:04:29,165
This is one of those moments
that at some point you just

112
00:04:29,165 --> 00:04:30,565
have to believe you're submissive.

113
00:04:30,985 --> 00:04:34,205
She says, this is how this
operates for her. Mm-Hmm.

114
00:04:34,245 --> 00:04:35,445
<affirmative>, you know, as long

115
00:04:35,445 --> 00:04:37,685
as she always has the freedom to say

116
00:04:37,685 --> 00:04:39,565
that she's changed her mind or maybe not,

117
00:04:39,585 --> 00:04:42,325
or she sees it differently
or, you know, whatever.

118
00:04:42,545 --> 00:04:44,565
Mm. I think you, you gotta believe

119
00:04:44,565 --> 00:04:45,565
- Her.

120
00:04:45,565 --> 00:04:47,005
Yeah. I and, and I think
you're right there.

121
00:04:47,245 --> 00:04:51,005
I don't think there is a whole
lot more going on Mm-Hmm.

122
00:04:51,175 --> 00:04:54,165
Under there. I mean, she's
clearly stated, you know,

123
00:04:54,235 --> 00:04:55,405
this is what I want.

124
00:04:55,535 --> 00:04:59,885
Right. And I, I think
really regardless of where

125
00:04:59,885 --> 00:05:01,765
that comes from, go with it.

126
00:05:02,435 --> 00:05:04,965
- Yeah. I, and I, I think,
you know, do I think you need

127
00:05:04,965 --> 00:05:07,725
to take more care when you
know your partner has been

128
00:05:07,725 --> 00:05:09,325
through it and is having to sort

129
00:05:09,325 --> 00:05:10,525
of overcome that and Mm-Hmm.

130
00:05:10,565 --> 00:05:13,405
<affirmative> relearn how
to, you know, feel safe being

131
00:05:13,425 --> 00:05:15,805
who they are and doing
things that, you know,

132
00:05:16,025 --> 00:05:18,245
should have been safe to
do for all those years.

133
00:05:18,385 --> 00:05:19,885
Of course you do. So I think that

134
00:05:19,885 --> 00:05:21,285
that leads to more check-ins.

135
00:05:21,345 --> 00:05:24,485
Mm-Hmm. <affirmative> asking
anytime you're unsure, just ask

136
00:05:24,545 --> 00:05:25,765
for quick clarification.

137
00:05:25,985 --> 00:05:28,805
Or, uh, you know, you and I have done this

138
00:05:28,805 --> 00:05:33,485
before when we know we're
treading near a touchy subject,

139
00:05:33,785 --> 00:05:35,085
um, we've gotten better at this,

140
00:05:35,505 --> 00:05:38,725
not necessarily specifically
with this kind of situation,

141
00:05:38,725 --> 00:05:41,285
but with our own, and I
don't use the word lightly,

142
00:05:41,285 --> 00:05:44,405
our own triggers from our
own bad tapes and past.

143
00:05:44,545 --> 00:05:48,805
And, uh, um, we will try to lightly

144
00:05:49,435 --> 00:05:51,285
talk a around the situation.

145
00:05:51,285 --> 00:05:54,165
Like, can, can we, can we talk about this?

146
00:05:54,225 --> 00:05:55,965
How are you feeling about this thing?

147
00:05:56,395 --> 00:05:58,645
Instead of, of sometimes just
bulldozing straight through

148
00:05:58,645 --> 00:06:01,725
of, I'm not sure that you
understand that you don't have

149
00:06:01,725 --> 00:06:02,805
to ask for, for permission.

150
00:06:02,805 --> 00:06:04,445
And I'm, I'm worried this is your trauma.

151
00:06:04,915 --> 00:06:07,045
It's more of a how are
you feeling about this?

152
00:06:07,155 --> 00:06:08,845
Where's your head at? Do you know,

153
00:06:08,865 --> 00:06:10,325
you can come talk to me about this.

154
00:06:10,665 --> 00:06:12,805
And creating the situations

155
00:06:13,185 --> 00:06:16,365
and the opportunities for
if there's doubt from them

156
00:06:16,425 --> 00:06:19,005
or if they've rethought it as they've gone

157
00:06:19,005 --> 00:06:21,725
through their own, you
know, healing journey

158
00:06:21,785 --> 00:06:23,885
and whatever they're
doing to deal with that.

159
00:06:24,345 --> 00:06:25,605
You know, there's some
things might come up

160
00:06:25,605 --> 00:06:28,285
where they're like, oh, at
one point, you know, yes,

161
00:06:28,445 --> 00:06:30,165
I thought that I needed
to ask for permission

162
00:06:30,315 --> 00:06:32,645
because of the dynamic, but
really it was because of this.

163
00:06:32,645 --> 00:06:35,125
They, they could come to
that conclusion. Right.

164
00:06:35,465 --> 00:06:37,845
As long as you're giving
your partner the opportunity

165
00:06:37,945 --> 00:06:40,045
to change their mind
to come to you anytime.

166
00:06:40,045 --> 00:06:41,525
Mm-Hmm. <affirmative>,
it's a little bit different

167
00:06:41,785 --> 00:06:43,725
to tell you something that contradicts

168
00:06:43,725 --> 00:06:45,885
what they said at any point in the past.

169
00:06:46,525 --> 00:06:49,005
I think it's fine because
people do change their minds

170
00:06:49,025 --> 00:06:50,325
as they go through stuff.

171
00:06:51,395 --> 00:06:54,605
- Deal with stuff as, as far
as as saying it's a bad tape,

172
00:06:55,225 --> 00:06:58,405
you know, something in, in the, in regards

173
00:06:58,505 --> 00:07:00,205
to it maybe being a bad tape.

174
00:07:00,415 --> 00:07:02,245
Maybe it is, but you know what,

175
00:07:02,245 --> 00:07:04,365
there could be a whole
lot worse. Bad tapes.

176
00:07:04,595 --> 00:07:07,085
- Well, and I think there's
also a thing about reclaiming

177
00:07:07,445 --> 00:07:08,685
a, a thing that happened to you.

178
00:07:08,685 --> 00:07:13,605
Sure. Right. So in this
scenario, their previous partner

179
00:07:14,345 --> 00:07:16,725
abused them, humiliated them in ways

180
00:07:16,725 --> 00:07:19,565
that made them feel powerless
in a way they did not want.

181
00:07:19,865 --> 00:07:21,165
It is entirely possible,

182
00:07:21,165 --> 00:07:22,085
and you only know if you

183
00:07:22,085 --> 00:07:23,165
have a conversation with your partner.

184
00:07:23,165 --> 00:07:26,245
Mm-Hmm. <affirmative> that
them wanting to ask you

185
00:07:26,305 --> 00:07:28,325
for permission is both a sign of trust

186
00:07:28,465 --> 00:07:29,925
and how they feel about the dynamic,

187
00:07:30,385 --> 00:07:32,925
but reclaiming that
ability and making it Yeah.

188
00:07:32,925 --> 00:07:36,205
Something that is under, to a
certain extent, their control

189
00:07:36,205 --> 00:07:38,445
that they are choosing
to be in that situation.

190
00:07:38,825 --> 00:07:40,565
Not everybody who's into kink

191
00:07:40,565 --> 00:07:42,245
and power exchange does that

192
00:07:42,275 --> 00:07:43,925
with their past, but some people do.

193
00:07:43,925 --> 00:07:46,925
- Some people do. And, and they
find that as a way to heal.

194
00:07:46,985 --> 00:07:48,605
Mm-Hmm. <affirmative>. Um, you know,

195
00:07:49,105 --> 00:07:52,525
one other thing I'm thinking
of kind of muddling,

196
00:07:52,885 --> 00:07:55,445
noodling this a little
bit, you know, this, I,

197
00:07:55,565 --> 00:07:57,365
I think there could be a possibility.

198
00:07:57,545 --> 00:07:59,845
The, the big D is overthinking Yes.

199
00:07:59,865 --> 00:08:01,445
Things a little bit too much. Yes.

200
00:08:01,745 --> 00:08:05,885
Um, you know, it, it is wonderful
that you want to help and,

201
00:08:05,905 --> 00:08:07,165
and support your partner.

202
00:08:07,365 --> 00:08:10,645
I think that's fantastic.
And you should, you know, um,

203
00:08:11,085 --> 00:08:13,685
I think maybe on this, this little tidbit,

204
00:08:13,685 --> 00:08:15,925
it might just be a bit of overthinking.

205
00:08:16,345 --> 00:08:19,605
- Yes. And I, you know, I think
in this case it comes from

206
00:08:20,075 --> 00:08:21,085
care and devotion.

207
00:08:21,085 --> 00:08:22,525
Mm-Hmm. <affirmative>
and wanting the sense

208
00:08:22,525 --> 00:08:24,445
of responsibility of
being both a good dumb

209
00:08:24,465 --> 00:08:25,485
and a good partner.

210
00:08:26,025 --> 00:08:28,325
Um, and that's why I go back
to the original point of,

211
00:08:28,345 --> 00:08:30,285
if your partner is clearly stating

212
00:08:30,515 --> 00:08:31,885
that this is what I want, Mm-Hmm.

213
00:08:31,925 --> 00:08:33,045
<affirmative>, this is what I need,

214
00:08:33,155 --> 00:08:34,445
this is what works for me.

215
00:08:34,545 --> 00:08:36,085
And again, get clarification.

216
00:08:36,545 --> 00:08:40,845
If you're, if you need to hear
the words from her, no, I,

217
00:08:41,085 --> 00:08:43,285
I do this because I want
this, then ask for that.

218
00:08:43,385 --> 00:08:45,485
See, you know, if, if that is accurate.

219
00:08:46,105 --> 00:08:49,605
But the fact that, you
know, they're saying it,

220
00:08:49,705 --> 00:08:53,165
you've gotta tell your
overthinking brain that, that

221
00:08:53,515 --> 00:08:55,525
that is about their consent

222
00:08:55,525 --> 00:08:57,525
and autonomy just as
much as anything else is.

223
00:08:57,575 --> 00:09:01,205
Right. So yes, it kind of, maybe from the

224
00:09:01,205 --> 00:09:03,165
outside looks like the past,

225
00:09:03,745 --> 00:09:07,245
but based on how she feels,
how secure she is, the,

226
00:09:07,245 --> 00:09:09,685
the trust you have between
each other, how you treat her,

227
00:09:10,105 --> 00:09:11,205
all of the things,

228
00:09:11,625 --> 00:09:13,925
it is a fundamentally
different experience.

229
00:09:14,745 --> 00:09:16,445
And anytime you're unsure, just check in.

230
00:09:16,865 --> 00:09:19,205
Um, but yeah, I do, I think you're right.

231
00:09:19,285 --> 00:09:22,245
I think it, it's a bit
of overthinking as long

232
00:09:22,245 --> 00:09:24,125
as the conversations are being had

233
00:09:24,125 --> 00:09:28,205
and the sheet is continuing to
communicate with you, right.

234
00:09:28,425 --> 00:09:30,725
Um, about those things.
Like if you were just making

235
00:09:30,755 --> 00:09:33,405
assumptions and there had
been no conversations,

236
00:09:33,405 --> 00:09:35,365
that would actually be a similar

237
00:09:35,365 --> 00:09:36,445
point, but a different point.

238
00:09:36,445 --> 00:09:38,685
Like she's clearly stating, Hey,

239
00:09:38,685 --> 00:09:39,725
this is, this is what we do.

240
00:09:39,745 --> 00:09:40,765
Mm-Hmm. <affirmative>. And if you want to,

241
00:09:40,865 --> 00:09:42,205
if you just wanna check in one more time

242
00:09:42,205 --> 00:09:43,725
and go, okay, this is what you said.

243
00:09:44,465 --> 00:09:45,565
Is this what you want?

244
00:09:45,585 --> 00:09:47,725
You know, you can tell me if
this is not what you want.

245
00:09:47,725 --> 00:09:49,325
If you want things to
be different, as long

246
00:09:49,325 --> 00:09:50,645
as she knows she has that freedom

247
00:09:50,785 --> 00:09:53,165
and you keep reiterating
she has that freedom,

248
00:09:53,545 --> 00:09:54,645
not obsessively <laugh>.

249
00:09:54,645 --> 00:09:58,285
Yeah. No, but just like as
it makes sense to go, hey,

250
00:09:58,385 --> 00:10:00,085
you know, if something's
different, if something needs

251
00:10:00,085 --> 00:10:02,925
to change, the more you make
her, you know, allow her

252
00:10:02,925 --> 00:10:05,605
to feel safe and give her
that space to be who she is,

253
00:10:05,785 --> 00:10:08,165
the more she's gonna
figure out for herself,

254
00:10:08,855 --> 00:10:11,005
these are things I do
because I want to do them

255
00:10:11,005 --> 00:10:12,805
because they are, they feel right to me.

256
00:10:13,105 --> 00:10:15,365
And maybe these are things
that I thought I was supposed

257
00:10:15,365 --> 00:10:17,725
to do and I can let go of
them, but that's a time thing.

258
00:10:18,545 --> 00:10:21,645
And 20 years of a bad
experience versus three years

259
00:10:21,665 --> 00:10:25,525
of a good, it can, they're
not even remotely equal.

260
00:10:25,545 --> 00:10:28,085
The good experience, you know,

261
00:10:29,805 --> 00:10:32,245
I did not have that
kind of past experience.

262
00:10:32,245 --> 00:10:34,885
I will not even compare my
past experiences to that.

263
00:10:35,705 --> 00:10:40,165
But, you know, three
years with a three years

264
00:10:40,185 --> 00:10:42,405
of good does a lot.

265
00:10:42,505 --> 00:10:43,965
It is very powerful. It is.

266
00:10:44,105 --> 00:10:46,245
It can be life changing,

267
00:10:46,865 --> 00:10:49,965
but it still not a,

268
00:10:50,145 --> 00:10:53,885
an it still is not equal
to 20 years of the bad.

269
00:10:53,935 --> 00:10:56,285
Right? Yeah. So there
will be some shifting

270
00:10:56,345 --> 00:10:57,405
and changing, I'm sure.

271
00:10:57,425 --> 00:10:59,725
But that's also how relationships work in

272
00:10:59,725 --> 00:11:00,765
general and power exchange works.

273
00:11:01,065 --> 00:11:04,325
So the things that work
for her today in your power

274
00:11:04,685 --> 00:11:07,565
exchange, um, might shift

275
00:11:08,145 --> 00:11:10,965
as you move forward in
your relationship for Yeah.

276
00:11:10,965 --> 00:11:13,045
Partly because people change,
partly because, right.

277
00:11:13,115 --> 00:11:14,805
Your sense of safety and trust change.

278
00:11:14,905 --> 00:11:17,965
You hopefully, and I think
based on this, it would deepen

279
00:11:18,265 --> 00:11:20,965
and then you can do more that
you maybe couldn't do before.

280
00:11:21,065 --> 00:11:23,845
And she may get there as
well. Mm-Hmm. <affirmative>.

281
00:11:23,845 --> 00:11:24,845
But yeah.

282
00:11:25,305 --> 00:11:27,885
So the recap is trust your submissive

283
00:11:27,955 --> 00:11:29,165
when they tell you mm-Hmm.

284
00:11:29,205 --> 00:11:30,325
<affirmative> that that's
something that they want.

285
00:11:31,305 --> 00:11:33,085
And when in doubt just check in

286
00:11:33,225 --> 00:11:34,845
and say, Hey, I need clarification.

287
00:11:34,985 --> 00:11:37,925
And admit that your brain is
like telling you something

288
00:11:37,925 --> 00:11:40,645
that you feel like is probably
not accurate, but you're,

289
00:11:40,835 --> 00:11:43,405
because it's actually a good sign.

290
00:11:43,465 --> 00:11:47,365
You care so much about not causing harm,

291
00:11:47,995 --> 00:11:51,165
that it's leading you to doubt
things within your dynamic.

292
00:11:51,465 --> 00:11:55,925
You're submissive as just as
capable of providing comfort

293
00:11:56,025 --> 00:11:59,605
and reassurance and help as
you are providing it to them.

294
00:11:59,985 --> 00:12:04,885
So let them Yeah. Is what
I would say. Yeah. Yeah.

295
00:12:05,825 --> 00:12:08,085
So hopefully that helped,
right? A little bit.
