00:07:28
Xochitl
Isn't Rupert Grint also short, though?
00:07:31
Jack
Probably, yeah. These might be taller than Harry though, yeah?
00:07:32
Xochitl
Yeah, I think he's too. I just thought he was cuter than he.
00:07:35
Jack
They're all tiny little yeah.
00:07:38
Xochitl
They're all short people, yeah.
00:07:39
Jack
Yeah, yeah.
00:07:42
Jack
UM alright, my my second one is I used to watch this show again when I was like, you know, 12 or 13 called saved by the bell. It was a sitcom.
00:07:57
Jack
And but it was like a. It was like a a kids sitcom. It was different. It would. It was on Saturday mornings instead of like, you know, Thursday evening saved by the bell. And it was it took place in the high school, and there was a again, this is like a a side character.
00:08:09
발표자
Hmm.
00:08:16
Jack
UM named Lisa Turtle was her name, but her real name is Lark Voorhees, the actress and I had a a huge crush on on her and she was like.
00:08:31

The character. Do you have you ever heard?
00:08:33
Jack
Of the character Screech.
00:08:35
Jack
Screech the the nerd? No. OK, but you have no idea what I'm talking about right now. OK, so it doesn't matter. No, none of our students know what I'm talking about. Saved by the bell. Uh, Lisa, turtle. And that's her. Her real name is Lark Voorhees, the actress. And so I had a huge.
00:08:40

Xochitl
Lark is a cool name for a woman. It's a real name Mark.
00:08:57
Jack
That is a cool name, I know.
00:09:00
Jack
Maybe the only way it would be cooler is to do like skylark.
00:09:05
Jack
That's is that cooler?
00:09:06
Xochitl
I've seen Skyler as a name, but I like lark better. I think. I think that's cooler. Like lark George.
00:09:11
Jack
What about skylark?
00:09:15
Xochitl
I think it's like trying too hard. I think Laura Voorhees sounds like you're like a cool like in a punk rock band or so, you know, like a drunk band. You know what I mean? I like it. Yeah. Alright.
