One had you get down on one knee and you got serenaded with an original song. It was hilarious. That's never happened before and for me, you know, Kendall is so cute so that was sweet. So doing those little things like the woman who gave you a rock. Yeah. Just we want to know do those things work going the extra mile. It makes that introduction really memorable. It makes that time, you know, stand out and there were certain things -- Also one girl from Arkansas I won't say. I know. I know. That was so funny. And it was so funny because those limo entrances are really creative and, you know, for me I'm standing up there, I'm like, okay, you can do this and then she threw that joke at me and it went right over my head and I was like, wow.

Both: Hey, we're super fans. If knife years what do you think will be the greatest things you've learned from this experience.
