Meredith not afraid to make some guesses. Well, they certainly paid off. They did yesterday. Meredith but at what point do you think, i probably wont be risky at some point in this game . Well. Usually my line is that if it doesnt take a lot of preparation or endurance or training, ill do it. Meredith uhhuh. Ive been kind of training for this one by collecting useless knowledge for a long time. Meredith ha ha well see, you know . Its ok. Its actually not useless anymore. Meredith and i know you can use the money. Its been flooding in your apartment recently, so. Yes. We had 4 feet of water in my apartment yesterday. Meredith oh, my god.
