[00:00:27] for your support. I did get a chance to go to the website hereistheevidence.com during

[00:00:32] the break there, and it is a crowd sourcing website. So people just go in there and they

[00:00:37] just throw in headlines and links to various stories. And so here's the thing. And this

[00:00:44] is a way that people argue, and it's not, and I'm not, this isn't an attack or anything,

[00:00:54] it's a tactic in debate. And this is a good example of it, which is I will throw up all

[00:01:02] of these different headlines. A lot of them are for media sources, by the way, that I

[00:01:09] would be suspicious of for one reason or another. Either they're like legacy media

[00:01:17] outlets, or their fringe you've never heard of, right? But either way, like it's an appeal

[00:01:25] to the volume, right? It's an appeal to the number of, look at all these headlines. Well,

[00:01:34] in order to ascertain whether or not there is truth to the accusation or the assertion,

[00:01:41] right? You then would have to go through every single one of those articles. And

[00:01:46] then you'd have to research all of the articles. And this is why I say that people have this

[00:01:50] faith, they have a faith. And I acknowledge that my faith is more towards the system that

[00:01:57] has been erected over decades. Now that being said, I also saw a whole bunch of links

[00:02:03] in the, in that feed about the rules that got changed prior to election day. And I

[00:02:13] know I wasn't full time here. I was, I did not have this shift in 2020. I was on the air,

[00:02:21] I did have the weekend show and I had my podcast and I was doing all of that. So I know what

[00:02:25] I was covering during the 2020 election cycle. And what I was covering and doing interviews

[00:02:29] on was all of the end runs that were being done around North Carolina's election

[00:02:34] integrity laws. Why? Because of COVID, right? COVID allowed all these leftist groups

[00:02:43] to sue to get ballot access opened up. You had in North Carolina, you had the

[00:02:49] collusive settlement that was reached between the these left wing plaintiffs and

[00:02:55] the Democrat appointed Board of Elections at the state level. And by the way, the

[00:03:00] Board of Elections at every county level is controlled by Democrats. Those are

[00:03:03] appointees by the governor. Okay? The state board of elections controlled by

[00:03:09] appointees of the governor. His party controls every single one of them. And

[00:03:15] the state board entered into an agreement with those that had sued and they cut

[00:03:20] out the legislative defendants because they're Republicans who opposed any of

[00:03:25] these, uh, these ballot measures that allowed for like, you know, drop boxes

[00:03:31] and ballot harvesting essentially. So I beat that drum pretty damn loud. And

[00:03:39] I have no doubt that that affected vote totals. Absolutely were some of them

[00:03:46] fraudulent. I have no doubt about it. No doubt. I've been covering this issue for

[00:03:50] a very long time. I've been beating the drum for election integrity for a

[00:03:54] very long time. So this isn't some sort of like, Oh, I don't believe you

[00:03:59] because I hate Trump or something. No, this is okay, I'm listening to the

[00:04:03] assertion. What's the evidence? I want to hear the presentation of evidence

[00:04:08] and people were given years to make the case. And I was a, I was a willing

[00:04:15] recipient to hear it. Let me go over here and get Scott on the program. Hello,

[00:04:19] Scott, welcome to the program.

[00:04:22] Hey Pete. Um, and first of all, um, thanks so much. I probably speak for

[00:04:26] tens if not dozens of people who listen to your show that you brighten our

[00:04:30] afternoon and I appreciate everything you bring to the air.

[00:04:33] Well, probably, I think maybe like 11, 11 or 12 people tops.

[00:04:38] Ergo why I say possibly dozens. If it was 13, we could go dozens. Nice. In any

[00:04:44] event, um, I'm gonna take you back to yesterday, maybe earlier today, you

[00:04:48] said it too. You know, at some point, we all get to a point where we just

[00:04:51] say, look enough is enough. I need to stop being a part of the problem. And

[00:04:54] I think I sort of was yesterday. I was mad as a hornet. We are, we

[00:04:58] were a builder here in town and, and we had just had a bunch of interior

[00:05:02] trim delivered to a home that was ready to get, have it installed the

[00:05:04] next day. Um, 430 in the afternoon, we took a picture. Everything was

[00:05:10] there. 730 in the morning, the guys come to install the trim and they're

[00:05:13] missing two doors. No. So you know, just silly me. I said, well, I

[00:05:18] would just drive around the neighborhood. Who knows, right?

[00:05:21] Lo and behold, I see two doors that look strikingly similar to the

[00:05:25] doors we had stolen. So I didn't do anything rash. I called the

[00:05:29] police and hey, we got two doors stolen. I see them leaning up against

[00:05:32] this house. Didn't come out and take a look at it. The police

[00:05:35] responded. They were very, very cordial, very nice. He said, well, we

[00:05:39] can go over and talk to him. But without a warrant, there's not much

[00:05:43] we can do. I said, Yeah, but I got a picture of the doors right

[00:05:47] there leaning up against his house. Yeah, but they're not

[00:05:49] there now. So the policeman goes over there. Guy answers the

[00:05:53] door opens the door. They have a discussion. He comes back.

[00:05:56] The policeman does and says, Well, he refused entry to the

[00:06:00] house. I did see that there were some interior doors leaning up

[00:06:03] in the living room. Oh my God, but without a warrant, I can't do

[00:06:06] anything. And I said, Seriously? Without a warrant? Well, can we

[00:06:09] do that? Well, you know, there's a lot of paperwork and

[00:06:12] everything. It's probably better if you just come down and let

[00:06:15] us know the areas you're building in and will increase

[00:06:17] patrols to try to dissuade anybody from doing any damage.

[00:06:20] And then I looked up as I was talking to the police

[00:06:23] officer and the guy get he still stand on his front

[00:06:25] porch and he flips me off.

[00:06:31] So this is a guy is so is this a is this a guy that bought like

[00:06:34] this are like a new construction neighborhood or

[00:06:36] something? Or is this like a no, it's a scattered site. It's a

[00:06:40] home or building an existing neighborhood. And apparently

[00:06:43] the guy needed to do some remodeling and hey, cool. He's

[00:06:46] using doors to a house nearby. I'll go take him. He's

[00:06:49] using his future neighbor's job site as a supplier.

[00:06:57] Yeah, it's a home improvement warehouse. Yeah. So have you

[00:07:00] told the person is this do you have some is this somebody's

[00:07:03] home yet or is this on spec? No, it's still it is not yet

[00:07:07] been sold. Okay. And we've run into this before and the

[00:07:11] thing is Pete really web boils down to $241.86 was what

[00:07:16] cost me to get the two new doors. This time I also got a paid

[00:07:19] trim guy to come back and put him in right and and I'm looking

[00:07:22] and saying we did absolutely nothing to enforce a very

[00:07:27] clear law on the books you can't steal stuff from other

[00:07:31] people is thought that was something about probable cause but

[00:07:35] apparently no we always need a warrant now.

[00:07:38] Yeah, I don't believe that I remember there being laws

[00:07:41] about if the cops see something it's sort of like they were

[00:07:43] the old example was if a cop is chasing a suspect and they

[00:07:48] suspect runs through your house and the cop is following that

[00:07:51] guy through your house and see some bag of you know, drugs on

[00:07:54] the table they can arrest you for that. Right. And so if he

[00:07:58] sees it for and so with these were these like unique doors

[00:08:03] like not like a standard kind of grade door that anybody

[00:08:06] could have had or something or

[00:08:08] they're there they're a fairly standard grade door. Okay. And

[00:08:11] the easy thing which my wife said when I was explaining to

[00:08:13] what I was so frustrated last night. Yeah. Well, she said

[00:08:16] the minute the guy said you can't come in my house to look

[00:08:19] he's guilty because if I bought the doors I'd show you the

[00:08:22] receipt right away. Right. Well, the fact that he's got him

[00:08:25] leaning in his living room. Yeah, the fact that he's got

[00:08:27] him sitting right there in plain view means he just

[00:08:30] brought him in. Right. Right. I'm sorry officer. Sorry for

[00:08:33] the confusion. Here's the receipt. I just went to the

[00:08:35] store and bought them blah, blah, blah. But instead, and

[00:08:38] I understand and I understood and had had grace for the

[00:08:41] officer because I know he probably had to fill out 16 forms

[00:08:45] and triplicate and go to a magistrate get a warrant come

[00:08:47] back talk to the guy and probably ultimately the

[00:08:49] saddest part Peter's the officer knew that it through

[00:08:52] all of that this guy wouldn't get any punishment anyway.

[00:08:55] So what's the point? Right. Right. So now I think I'm

[00:08:59] part of the problem. So I didn't I didn't press the

[00:09:01] issue and say no, I want you to go get a warrant. I

[00:09:03] want to prosecute him because the reality is nothing.

[00:09:06] I hate to say this but my opinion would be likely

[00:09:09] nothing would happen anyway. So what happens now is that

[00:09:12] guy who stole stuff he tells two friends and they tell

[00:09:16] two friends like hey, it's okay to steal stuff guys feel

[00:09:18] free. Yeah. So like you're going to have to step up

[00:09:21] security at the site but here's the other thing is when

[00:09:23] you do get that house sold I would tell the owner

[00:09:26] whoever buys it I would tell them by the way your

[00:09:28] neighbor at this address they stole stuff off of the

[00:09:31] job site so you may want to be wary of them.

[00:09:34] You know now the bright side is people human nature

[00:09:36] is great there are super nice people out there. We

[00:09:39] had a couple of other neighbors say hey, we're going to

[00:09:40] keep a closer eye because that guy's been a problem

[00:09:42] for a while and that's what we're doing. We're trying

[00:09:46] to improve neighborhoods but at some point I think

[00:09:48] you're right. I'm going to snap like a dry twig and

[00:09:50] I'm going to clock somebody across the side of the

[00:09:52] head because they stole stuff they shouldn't

[00:09:54] have stole. Yeah. That's not the answer but at

[00:09:57] some point there's got to be a better answer

[00:10:00] than not doing anything. Yeah. Right. No, I know

[00:10:04] it's super frustrating. I know it and I can

[00:10:07] hear it in your voice. I'm frustrated with

[00:10:09] because I've been robbed several times over the

[00:10:10] course of my life people come and stole my lawn

[00:10:12] mower out of my shed. I had some have been

[00:10:15] burglarized yeah and it's like oh it's just

[00:10:17] property it's just stuff like yeah but it's

[00:10:21] also a chunk of time. That's insurance. Yeah.

[00:10:24] But it's also yeah it's a chunk of time it's

[00:10:27] a portion of my life that I traded for

[00:10:29] money that I then used to purchase this

[00:10:31] item that now I have to spend more time of

[00:10:33] my life in exchange for more currency so I can

[00:10:37] then replace the thing that you stole and

[00:10:40] not even a not even a shadow of remorse. No.

[00:10:44] The guy's stand on his porch and puts me off as

[00:10:47] the cops are leaving. Yeah. You know where

[00:10:50] that guy's going to go tomorrow if he needs

[00:10:51] something else he'll just kick in the door

[00:10:53] and take something from because well why not.

[00:10:55] Right. And that's that's the sad part of

[00:10:58] where we are now and I think you dressed

[00:10:59] it earlier is and this was a generational

[00:11:01] thing this was a much younger person

[00:11:04] that guy probably has never been told no

[00:11:06] or maybe never been told that he's wrong

[00:11:09] and he needs to get it back together.

[00:11:11] Yeah. Well why would he if nobody I mean

[00:11:13] if you're going to let me be a jerk I'll be a

[00:11:15] jerk. Yeah. Again I appreciate you I mean

[00:11:19] you know I think you do a great job and

[00:11:21] you do brighten my day at least. Oh that's

[00:11:23] right. It's only one. Hey that's one right.

[00:11:25] Okay I appreciate that's it. Well that's

[00:11:28] what I say you know I changed the world

[00:11:29] you know one person at a time Scott I

[00:11:30] appreciate I don't actually say that but

[00:11:33] appreciate the call Scott have a great

[00:11:34] weekend I'm sorry that happened to you.

[00:11:37] I feel bad for and that's the other thing too

[00:11:38] like do you tell the person who's about

[00:11:40] to buy the hat wait to okay tell them

[00:11:41] after they bought it do not tell them

[00:11:43] before they buy it because I wouldn't

[00:11:45] want to live next door to that guy

[00:11:47] let's open up the mail sack Pete at

[00:11:51] the Pete calendar show dot com is the

[00:11:53] email address John says an attorney

[00:11:56] once told me regarding the caller Scott

[00:11:58] there in the neighbor that stole from

[00:12:00] the job site and attorney once told me

[00:12:03] that the only way to get justice anymore

[00:12:04] is to do it yourself but make sure there

[00:12:06] are no witnesses. That's true always.

[00:12:10] Yeah like when you saw the I guess like

[00:12:12] that was Scott's mistake I guess there

[00:12:15] is that when he first saw the

[00:12:16] picture or saw the doors and took the

[00:12:18] picture I guess maybe Scott should have

[00:12:21] just like sat out front and if a guy

[00:12:25] came out to take the doors videotape

[00:12:27] him doing it or just walk up and take

[00:12:29] the doors back like that would have been

[00:12:31] the thing I guess to do is to go up and

[00:12:34] take the doors back. So Dave says Pete

[00:12:37] you prepare for your show your callers

[00:12:39] do not we don't know what you're going

[00:12:41] to talk about until your show starts

[00:12:43] we cannot have facts and figures at

[00:12:45] the ready depending on what the subject

[00:12:47] is to out to argue our point of view

[00:12:50] sometimes it is just opinion from what

[00:12:52] we've read and heard. Dave I totally

[00:12:54] get it Dave that's usually why I try

[00:12:57] to keep people on the topic and the

[00:13:00] initial caller I'm trying to remember who

[00:13:01] was that Jeff was an initial and Jeff

[00:13:04] called in and he was off topic so he

[00:13:06] actually chose that topic to speak about

[00:13:08] I did not I had nothing prepared for

[00:13:11] that topic so that's why I try to keep

[00:13:15] things on a singular topic so this way

[00:13:17] I try to give all of the information

[00:13:19] and you know present the story give

[00:13:22] the details and then people have

[00:13:23] opinions about that individual topic and

[00:13:25] so we can all kind of work from the

[00:13:26] same body of knowledge but then every

[00:13:29] now and again I take a phone call I

[00:13:33] get I get way late I get Shanghai but

[00:13:36] without the kidnapping part

[00:13:37] and here's the thing yes sometimes it

[00:13:44] is just opinion and that's fine but

[00:13:46] here's the thing if you call in you

[00:13:48] make an assertion as Jeff did and he

[00:13:50] is so convinced of this thing that's

[00:13:53] why I asked the question because it

[00:13:55] when you come across is so convinced

[00:13:56] that a thing did occur and I ask you

[00:13:59] okay well like how or where or you know

[00:14:02] whatever and then there's nothing

[00:14:04] there and first you recall again I

[00:14:07] didn't even ask him for specifics on

[00:14:10] on it now the whole show you know

[00:14:12] because there's like the whole all the

[00:14:14] topics I did prep for not getting

[00:14:16] to any of them

[00:14:18] Majorcas with the NGO Roy Cooper

[00:14:22] shut down the the Court of Appeals

[00:14:24] case the title nine change like all of

[00:14:27] this other stuff is now just off right

[00:14:32] because people want to keep arguing the

[00:14:34] opinion that the election got stolen

[00:14:36] still so alright so a couple things

[00:14:41] here I was reading it's I came across

[00:14:42] the story in the Charlotte Observer

[00:14:44] you've heard me talk about this before

[00:14:46] art by explanation have you heard

[00:14:48] this if not I've talked about it for

[00:14:51] years it is this the ridiculousness

[00:14:55] of the art and I use this term very

[00:15:00] very loosely the art projects that get

[00:15:03] installed in various places or in front

[00:15:07] of buildings and it's one thing if you

[00:15:09] are a private entity you know and you

[00:15:13] want to you want to put some ugly

[00:15:15] piece of trash in front of your

[00:15:16] building call it art put a little

[00:15:18] plaque in front of it that explains

[00:15:20] what it is because nobody would

[00:15:21] otherwise recognize it as art right

[00:15:23] that's why I call it art by

[00:15:24] explanation and so I'm always on the

[00:15:27] lookout for another one of these

[00:15:28] examples because it really is this is

[00:15:30] by the way if you look up the old

[00:15:33] that list of things that the Soviets

[00:15:37] were we're looking to do in America

[00:15:40] to try to undermine the American

[00:15:43] system this is one of the things

[00:15:47] which was to basically strip away

[00:15:51] beauty from art and you know anybody

[00:15:55] who has seen you know any of the

[00:15:57] architecture of them you know the

[00:15:59] the most modern Soviet era you will

[00:16:03] know like that is all completely

[00:16:05] robbed of any kind of beauty right

[00:16:08] and anyway so when I see these

[00:16:10] things that are that are put at

[00:16:12] like for example the onion rings

[00:16:14] over there on what Randolph Road

[00:16:16] and Wendover I think the big onion

[00:16:17] rings at that apartment complex

[00:16:20] the terracotta onion rings like

[00:16:23] that would make sense at care wins

[00:16:25] okay I get it it's like connected to

[00:16:26] the roller coaster or something but

[00:16:27] whatever or how about the discs

[00:16:30] that are planted along the

[00:16:32] light rail line they I think it's

[00:16:34] the same artist terracotta looking

[00:16:37] big discs like you know 15 feet

[00:16:39] high and they're just stuck in the

[00:16:41] ground like like somebody like a

[00:16:42] giant was playing frisbee golf and

[00:16:44] they like got dug into the ground

[00:16:46] and it's like a couple of them there

[00:16:47] and they call it something here but

[00:16:48] they've called it they did the artist

[00:16:50] did the exact same project in another

[00:16:51] North Carolina city and they just

[00:16:53] called it something else you know it's

[00:16:55] working smarter not harder

[00:16:58] there was another one over near

[00:17:00] Thomas Street Tavern I central

[00:17:01] Avenue as I cross in that little

[00:17:02] stream the bright I think crossing

[00:17:04] Briar Creek and they put up like

[00:17:07] some barrier so you can't see the

[00:17:09] creek but the barrier is like some

[00:17:12] sort of like metal works kind of

[00:17:13] thing and it's like wavy so it's

[00:17:15] supposed to represent the water that

[00:17:17] they blocked from view so you can't

[00:17:19] look at the water because the art

[00:17:23] that represents water is blocking it

[00:17:25] remember when they built the arena in

[00:17:27] uptown the original plan was to have

[00:17:29] these stupid looking fake tree things

[00:17:32] that were supposed to represent

[00:17:33] trees and then the city council was

[00:17:35] like well that's stupid why don't

[00:17:36] you just plant trees and so they

[00:17:37] planted trees.

[00:17:40] So there's all the police academy

[00:17:43] right years ago when they built the

[00:17:45] police academy they created some

[00:17:47] stupid looking trash thing in their

[00:17:49] lobby and like a janitor threw it away

[00:17:53] because it was like chicken wire and

[00:17:55] it was supposed to emulate the

[00:17:56] the Hornets Nest shield of CM PD

[00:17:59] and it was there in the lobby

[00:18:01] and then they were like getting

[00:18:02] ready to open and they were

[00:18:02] cleaning stuff up and a janitor

[00:18:04] threw it away because he thought

[00:18:05] it was garbage which it was but

[00:18:08] anyway latest example we have a new

[00:18:10] entry into the Hall of Fame

[00:18:14] the pool noodle sculpture

[00:18:17] not kidding have you been to the

[00:18:20] the Mint Museum uptown if so then

[00:18:22] you have seen this thing it looks

[00:18:24] like like a

[00:18:27] it looks like a 30 40 foot tall

[00:18:30] hose reel.

[00:18:32] It's just hoses

[00:18:34] that literally that's what it is

[00:18:36] like it is probably 30 hoses and

[00:18:38] they're hanging to different colors

[00:18:39] and they're just like hanging down

[00:18:40] in like this

[00:18:43] yeah like like a hose reel that's

[00:18:44] not but not reeled up like a

[00:18:46] circle where it's nice and tidy

[00:18:47] it's just like you have a hook and

[00:18:49] you just keep throwing the hose

[00:18:50] over it and you just end up with

[00:18:51] all of this like spaghetti of

[00:18:52] hoses and it's hanging down

[00:18:55] over the wall.

[00:18:56] And apparently this is a signature

[00:18:59] and singularly large piece of

[00:19:02] art quote unquote

[00:19:05] at the Mint Museum uptown

[00:19:06] and they're going to be doing

[00:19:07] some restoration work

[00:19:10] well thank goodness because

[00:19:12] obviously it looks terrible.

[00:19:17] No no they're just going to

[00:19:18] yeah no that's how it's supposed

[00:19:20] to look apparently they're going

[00:19:21] to spend forty thousand dollars

[00:19:23] it's coming from a bank of earth

[00:19:25] grant so at least

[00:19:27] you know the bank customers are

[00:19:28] paying for it with your

[00:19:31] transaction fees and stuff at

[00:19:32] Bank of America.

[00:19:33] Anybody this is from the

[00:19:35] Charlotte Observer reporter

[00:19:37] Adam Bell.

[00:19:39] Anyone who has been to the Mint

[00:19:40] Museum uptown will recognize

[00:19:42] the iconic piece that is due

[00:19:44] for conservation it is.

[00:19:48] Here's the name of it well

[00:19:51] here's one of the names for

[00:19:52] it the latest name for it is

[00:19:54] mega footprint not far

[00:19:57] from the hutch.

[00:20:04] I have no idea what it means

[00:20:06] usually the titles help to

[00:20:08] explain what the piece of

[00:20:09] garbage is in this case

[00:20:12] not so much in this case it

[00:20:14] still just looks like I mean you

[00:20:15] could have called it you know

[00:20:17] hoses at a work site.

[00:20:20] That's what it looks like

[00:20:21] okay that's the name of it now

[00:20:23] mega footprint not far

[00:20:26] from the hutch.

[00:20:29] It was originally called may

[00:20:30] I have this dance so it's

[00:20:32] got two different names how

[00:20:34] does that possible glad you

[00:20:35] asked the sculpture is

[00:20:37] impossible to miss since it's

[00:20:39] right there on the west wall

[00:20:40] of the Robert Haywood Morrison

[00:20:42] atrium near the museum entrance

[00:20:45] it stands 80 feet high

[00:20:48] 15 feet wide

[00:20:51] and then he says picture five

[00:20:52] giraffes stacked on one okay

[00:20:54] nobody knows what that looks

[00:20:55] like dude like picture five

[00:20:57] giraffes what I can't even

[00:21:00] picture one giraffe let alone

[00:21:01] two stacked on top of each

[00:21:03] other that would be very

[00:21:04] weird let alone five

[00:21:06] you need to have like a base

[00:21:08] going like a cheerleading

[00:21:10] pyramid thing let me know what

[00:21:11] five giraffes anyway it's 80

[00:21:13] feet high it's really high

[00:21:15] really tall it is comprised

[00:21:17] of 42 sculptural components

[00:21:23] made from flexible synthetic

[00:21:26] and cork tubes the tubes

[00:21:30] are then wrapped in

[00:21:33] dyed and twisted linen

[00:21:35] thread okay so you make

[00:21:38] these tubes and then you wrap

[00:21:40] them with fabric with thread

[00:21:43] right and they're different

[00:21:45] colors and then you have them

[00:21:46] all hung on a hook or whatever

[00:21:48] at the top and then there's

[00:21:49] like a couple strands that

[00:21:50] hang down and touch the

[00:21:51] bottom and this is called

[00:21:52] mega footprint not far from

[00:21:54] the hutch right the tubes

[00:21:58] are plumbers pipe insulating

[00:22:01] foam okay this is this is

[00:22:04] art people this is art

[00:22:07] they got a grant for $40,000

[00:22:11] that doesn't cover the entire

[00:22:13] cost of the restoration

[00:22:14] project apparently which is

[00:22:15] like 44 and a half thousand

[00:22:17] they're going to have to come

[00:22:18] up with another four grand

[00:22:21] the piece was originally

[00:22:23] debuted at the corporate

[00:22:25] headquarters of target in

[00:22:28] Minneapolis in 2003 and it

[00:22:30] was called may I have this

[00:22:32] dance and it was hanging

[00:22:34] horizontally so see when you

[00:22:37] take it and you turn it

[00:22:40] vertical it's an entirely new

[00:22:42] piece of artwork look at that

[00:22:46] at least at least we didn't

[00:22:47] have to pay for it right I

[00:22:49] will say that at least

[00:22:52] taxpayers did not have to

[00:22:53] pay as far as I know because

[00:22:55] it originally debuted after

[00:22:57] target decided to reconfigure

[00:22:58] its headquarters and hire

[00:22:59] decided person that saw the

[00:23:01] thing the retailer ended up

[00:23:03] giving the piece to the mint

[00:23:05] which debuted in 2011 and

[00:23:07] they reconfigured it to hang

[00:23:09] vertically there you go

[00:23:12] and so you change the name

[00:23:14] and you change the orientation

[00:23:15] you go from landscape to

[00:23:16] portrait mode and boom totally

[00:23:19] new piece of artwork look at

[00:23:20] that working smarter not
