you to tell them more jokes. How can they do that? You have a phone number or an email or a website.
Speaker 3
[00.04.23]
Did I just come to Dada and that sign? Is that the best way for them to maybe bump into you, or is it the
hardware store?
Speaker 2
[00.04.30]
What’s the issue?
Speaker 4
[00.04.32]
