Pt 3: Yegor Hambaryan + Muslim Co-workers

[00:00:03] Welcome to the Ask About My Faith Podcast, where our hope is to inspire everyday faith conversations.

[00:00:09] I'm Jess.

[00:00:10] And I'm Abbey. Welcome back to part 3 of our series with Yegor. If you've been following along,

[00:00:16] you know Yegor's story is filled with bold faith and incredible testimonies. In this episode,

[00:00:22] you'll hear how Yegor doesn't wait for permission to pray, like when a Muslim co-worker asked

[00:00:27] for prayer, and Yegor stopped everything to pray right on the spot. You'll also hear the amazing

[00:00:33] story of three other Muslim co-workers giving their lives to Christ. Plus, Yegor dives into

[00:00:39] discipleship, the importance of falling in love with God, and even praying for waiters. You

[00:00:45] don't want to miss this one. Let's jump in.

[00:00:51] Yegor, when you're with people, do you even ask to pray? Or do you just say, hey, we got

[00:00:57] to pray? Or I mean, how does...

[00:00:59] Yeah, I don't... Yeah. Prayer, like, I never feel like I have to ask your permission because

[00:01:08] during all the time that I ask people, I'm going to pray, the answer is always yes. Even if...

[00:01:18] Yeah. Like, my friend is an Egyptian, and he... Like, we are walking both into the store,

[00:01:27] and he's Muslim. And he's like, well, pray that I have a good interview. And I stopped him in the

[00:01:33] hallway, put my hands on him. And I said, in Jesus' name, I pray that you have wisdom.

[00:01:39] Yeah.

[00:01:39] In Jesus' name, I pray that you don't forget your interview questions. And in Jesus' name, I pray

[00:01:45] that you, like, super bold and calm, and you have peace in it. And all I pray in Jesus' name, amen.

[00:01:52] And then he, in his Muslim language, said some stuff that I didn't even understand. And he said, like,

[00:01:59] you know, to God be glory in Muslim language. And I was like, yup, Jesus only. That's the

[00:02:05] only way. So he walked in.

[00:02:09] So...

[00:02:10] Just so we're clear, Jesus.

[00:02:11] Yeah. From being the last choice for that interview, he was like, just picked just to

[00:02:18] make sure he will fail so that others can get the job. He got the job because he did so great

[00:02:23] that everyone was amazed.

[00:02:24] So...

[00:02:24] Wow.

[00:02:25] Like, yeah. And then he's like, thanks for praying. Like, it was like, I know that I

[00:02:33] can say that that one was Jesus. And I said, great.

[00:02:37] Whoa.

[00:02:37] So, yeah.

[00:02:38] Okay.

[00:02:39] That's a big deal.

[00:02:39] I love that.

[00:02:41] I had, like, three Muslim co-workers giving their life to Jesus just because, like, I was

[00:02:46] fasting for 40 days. And they fast too. And we had a lot of good discussion on the 40-day

[00:02:53] fasting. They would ask me every day what fast means. And I said, hey, Jesus asked me and I'm

[00:02:59] simply doing. I have nothing to, like, get rid of in my life. I'm just simply being obedient.

[00:03:04] Yeah.

[00:03:05] And every day we would just talk about God and Jesus. And then he showed up. He showed

[00:03:12] up with a T-shirt that says, I love Jesus.

[00:03:15] Your co-worker did?

[00:03:16] Yeah. Without any Muslim clothes on and said, today's the day we are going to pray.

[00:03:22] Whoa.

[00:03:23] Yeah.

[00:03:23] Was that during Ramadan that you were fasting?

[00:03:26] No, I was fasting.

[00:03:28] Okay.

[00:03:28] It was just random.

[00:03:29] I started May some 10. I think I started May 21 until, no, I started May 1st, June 10th,

[00:03:37] like 40-day. Yeah.

[00:03:39] Yeah.

[00:03:39] Like, just random. God told me to do in February. I rejected.

[00:03:43] Sure.

[00:03:43] God told me to do in March.

[00:03:45] Yeah, I get that.

[00:03:45] In March. I rejected.

[00:03:47] And then three of your Muslim co-workers were so moved that they chose Jesus?

[00:03:54] Yep. Yep.

[00:03:55] Wow.

[00:03:55] Of course, they have been kicked out from every community, but who cares?

[00:03:59] Wow.

[00:04:00] Like, now they need discipling.

[00:04:01] We keep a little bit like secret at work, but like, too, because we also have extremist

[00:04:08] Muslim people.

[00:04:10] Question.

[00:04:11] Oh, sure.

[00:04:12] You, so, obviously that's a big deal for them to accept Christ.

[00:04:16] Yeah.

[00:04:16] Because like you said, their community all revolves around their Muslim culture and religion.

[00:04:22] So, is that something that you've been able to continue to support them as they've kind

[00:04:28] of been trying to find and define a new community?

[00:04:31] Yeah.

[00:04:32] So, I do believe that when you like lead someone to follow Christ, you also want to like continuous

[00:04:41] prayer.

[00:04:41] Like, if I tell you, Jess, I'm praying for you.

[00:04:44] Yeah.

[00:04:44] Then I will set like reminders that at least I pray for the next week.

[00:04:49] Like, let's say it's 929.

[00:04:51] Then I will set a reminder for the next seven days at 929.

[00:04:55] Oh, and I don't need to like, you know, go on my knees and do stuff.

[00:04:59] I would just, I would just say, hey God, remember Jess, whatever she's going through,

[00:05:04] just bless her, guide her, give her wisdom.

[00:05:07] You know, you have been like a pillar of light to Moses.

[00:05:11] Like, why won't you be like, just a simple prayer, you know, something that God knows

[00:05:16] the rest.

[00:05:17] And I think it's like, sometimes we, in American culture, people say, I'll pray for

[00:05:21] you and they never do.

[00:05:22] It's like a thought.

[00:05:23] It's not an action.

[00:05:24] For me, it's a responsibility.

[00:05:26] If I take the responsibility to pray for you and I will do it because I do believe who

[00:05:32] I talk to is God.

[00:05:33] And there is no way I, like, there is no way I wouldn't pray to God because, you know,

[00:05:39] I want to make sure that God gets the glory.

[00:05:42] It's nothing about me.

[00:05:43] Definitely.

[00:05:44] And I feel like people don't have stories because they don't also share about them.

[00:05:49] You know, when God does a miracle, they think it was the luck.

[00:05:52] They think it was the coincidence.

[00:05:55] Yeah.

[00:05:56] Coincidence, but they never give God glory.

[00:05:58] And I always give God glory.

[00:06:00] So, yeah.

[00:06:02] So cool.

[00:06:03] I had actually a funny story.

[00:06:05] A pastor who was like an Orthodox pastor, you know, they dress, I don't know why the

[00:06:10] Orthodox people are also like just this super like sad people just walking.

[00:06:16] Yeah.

[00:06:16] And I'm like, oh, you're a pastor.

[00:06:19] I'm like, why are you so, why you look like so bored and sad?

[00:06:22] Like what's going on?

[00:06:23] You just tell it like it is.

[00:06:25] Yeah.

[00:06:26] I don't care about how you feel.

[00:06:28] I am not American.

[00:06:30] I don't have to appreciate the American culture, you know.

[00:06:34] If there is nothing good about it, you know, I appreciate a lot of good stuff.

[00:06:39] But yeah, I don't see the Minnesota way.

[00:06:42] So you said, why do you look sad and bored?

[00:06:44] Yeah.

[00:06:45] If you're a pastor, you should.

[00:06:47] Yeah.

[00:06:47] Yeah.

[00:06:48] And then he's like, well, like I just woke up 6am, did the mass and now I have to buy

[00:06:54] a phone.

[00:06:54] I said, praise God.

[00:06:55] Like what do you mean praise God?

[00:06:57] Yeah.

[00:06:57] Praise God.

[00:06:58] No, I mean like, didn't you believe what you prayed in?

[00:07:01] You know, you like worship God.

[00:07:03] You did the songs, like you sing two hours, you used your voice.

[00:07:07] The Orthodox people are singing.

[00:07:09] Like you used your voice to sing all these songs.

[00:07:12] Didn't you realize who you were singing?

[00:07:14] And he was like, well, I kind of like lost that.

[00:07:19] So, and I shared my life story.

[00:07:21] I said, hey, give me 10 minutes and I'll share who Jesus is in my life and what he did.

[00:07:26] So, I shared a brief story and he's like in my tears, hugging me.

[00:07:31] Like, he's like hugging me and like, I feel like you need to accept Jesus before you walk

[00:07:39] on this.

[00:07:40] Go back to work.

[00:07:41] You're an Orthodox priest.

[00:07:43] I mean, for, you know, for our listeners, I can say that.

[00:07:47] I feel like, Yegor, you have just a joy.

[00:07:50] And I mean, you know Jesus to an extent that so many people don't, even though, you know,

[00:07:57] we claim to be followers of the Lord.

[00:07:59] I mean, you really live that out in a different way.

[00:08:03] It sits in you differently than it does for many people.

[00:08:08] Yeah.

[00:08:09] Praise God.

[00:08:10] That's so cool.

[00:08:11] Yeah.

[00:08:12] I mean, yeah, Jesus goes like, my favorite lifestyle is if I lost an iPhone, I lost,

[00:08:23] you know, recently, like I bought a brand new car and the four days later it got wrecked.

[00:08:29] You know, it's like, you, you paid a car and you almost didn't even drive.

[00:08:33] And I'm a firm believer.

[00:08:34] If you lost thinking in your lives, but you never lose the presence of God, you lost nothing.

[00:08:41] Yeah.

[00:08:41] Right.

[00:08:41] So if you can carry the presence of God with you everywhere, that's the best way to live

[00:08:46] because then all I had to do is like, oh, thank you, Jesus.

[00:08:50] I know you are going to take care of it.

[00:08:51] I'm not going to try to do it myself.

[00:08:53] So then you are, you never get depression.

[00:08:56] You never lose your peace.

[00:08:58] You're in a better state to mentor other people.

[00:09:01] And also you're in a better state to heal.

[00:09:03] And also you are in a better state when Holy Spirit speaks.

[00:09:07] You are a listener and not like just like avoiding because you have so many other things to take care of it.

[00:09:13] So like, yeah, I'm like, hey, if I see a problem, guess what?

[00:09:18] I have seen Jesus doing it.

[00:09:20] So that's the opportunity for him to do another miracle.

[00:09:22] Why would I have to care about, you know?

[00:09:24] Wow.

[00:09:24] So that's my attitude and I pray for that exact thing to walk with me every single day.

[00:09:31] Wisdom, presence of God, fear of God, and a supernatural trust in God.

[00:09:37] So that's the thing.

[00:09:38] If I ever forget to do anything, that's what I pray so that I walk like that and I talk like that.

[00:09:44] So...

[00:09:44] Yegor, since you spent most of your life up until now, what, five years ago you moved to the U.S.?

[00:09:50] Since you spent most of your life in other cultures living in other parts of the world, is that something that you see other cultures just being able to do better and live more out of that place versus the materialistic, focused on things?

[00:10:06] Or are other cultures very similar?

[00:10:08] The one thing I have learned, like...

[00:10:13] So as soon as you stop believing that the place you are in is going to bless you, but the only holy and able God is going to do it, your attitude towards the culture changes.

[00:10:27] So, because in the United States...

[00:10:31] And also, like, I don't want to put the United States on a pedestal and judge it, but there are so many things that bring comfort.

[00:10:38] Right.

[00:10:39] And also ignorance.

[00:10:41] Like, I was, like, mentoring someone yesterday and that person, like, I just don't want to share his name.

[00:10:49] He was, like, hey, I would hate to skip, like, the practice.

[00:10:56] I don't want the team to, you know, fail.

[00:11:01] Yeah.

[00:11:01] Let my team down.

[00:11:03] Yeah.

[00:11:03] Like, our before we were talking about, like, how many times we read or pray.

[00:11:09] And then I felt like, I need to ask a question, but not now.

[00:11:13] And I was waiting for, like, 30 minutes.

[00:11:14] And then Holy Spirit was like, okay, ask now and ask this way.

[00:11:19] What makes you feel that you don't want to fail your team, but you can easily fail God when you don't do these things?

[00:11:30] Whoa.

[00:11:31] And, like, just kind of like we are in this, oh, we have so many things that we don't want to fail when it comes to God.

[00:11:39] Are we even thinking about Him?

[00:11:42] Are we even, like, and God is holy and God is amazing.

[00:11:47] God is loving.

[00:11:48] But also, like, the relationship is super jealous as well.

[00:11:51] That's why if you want to get a miracle, you know, and it's super simple.

[00:11:55] I think it's over, like, kind of like told, you read your Bible, you know, pray.

[00:12:04] I always, if I ever mentor someone, I would say, I'm going to pray that you fell in love with reading Bible.

[00:12:11] Yeah.

[00:12:11] That you fell in love with prayer, that you have that experience.

[00:12:15] Because when you fell in love with someone, you want to be there.

[00:12:19] You want to be in that presence.

[00:12:20] Yeah.

[00:12:21] So, doing it and, you know, enjoying it and fell in love with it.

[00:12:26] Yeah.

[00:12:27] It's two different things.

[00:12:28] And also, like, super simple.

[00:12:31] Like, I can read the Bible and, you know, and like I can read a verse and live like that for a year.

[00:12:38] Or I can read the whole Bible and reread it.

[00:12:40] It's not about how much we read.

[00:12:42] I think people also misinterpret how much they read.

[00:12:45] If I read the Bible and I found a story that, hey, because of the fear, people lied.

[00:12:53] You know, for example, this amazing human with his husband goes to Egypt.

[00:12:59] You know who I'm talking about.

[00:13:00] And the Pharaoh sees the wife and like, oh, I like that woman.

[00:13:03] And like, oh, I'm not going to say that you are my wife.

[00:13:06] I'm just going to say that you are my sister.

[00:13:08] So, yeah.

[00:13:09] And then the Pharaoh end up almost sleeping with his wife.

[00:13:14] And in the end of the day, and I'm like, oh, he was afraid.

[00:13:18] That's why he lied.

[00:13:19] And how many times we created lies.

[00:13:22] Wow.

[00:13:22] And I think whenever we are afraid, we need to, and the only thing cast out fear is perfect love.

[00:13:28] Yeah.

[00:13:29] And the only way to get perfect love is to have the understanding who can give the perfect love.

[00:13:34] And the only way to understand who gives that is like to actually have that relationship.

[00:13:40] And it's so simple.

[00:13:41] I always say it's a good guidance if like don't read your Bible as a story or like things and, you know, but read the Bible as like it's a guidance how to do not be in a pickle of fear, being a pickle of lying and all other stuff so that when the time comes, you know how to overcome.

[00:14:03] And when I was fasting, you know, I have watched maybe a hundred videos, people fasted 40 days.

[00:14:13] All I heard was like, oh, it was so hard.

[00:14:17] I barely did it.

[00:14:18] So it created fear for me.

[00:14:22] Sure.

[00:14:22] And it was supposed to be hard.

[00:14:25] The day one, I was like, hey God, I don't want to enter into this cool moment with you, with fear.

[00:14:33] What do I need?

[00:14:34] Yeah.

[00:14:35] Like, well, do you know I love you?

[00:14:37] Yeah.

[00:14:37] Do you know, can you trust me?

[00:14:40] Yeah.

[00:14:41] And for me, it's super simple.

[00:14:43] Like for most of the people, it's like, oh, we need to understand how to do it.

[00:14:47] For me, it's like, oh, it's a trust.

[00:14:50] Then trust is if you ask Jess to bring the water, you sit there and wait for the water.

[00:14:56] You don't go and pour water for you.

[00:14:58] And, you know, when by the time Jess is there, you know, you're like drinking all the water.

[00:15:03] Like, oh, I took care of it.

[00:15:04] No, trust is sit and wait.

[00:15:06] And, you know, be still and know that I'm God.

[00:15:09] And most of us cannot be still.

[00:15:11] And we can know who God is and God will make us still.

[00:15:14] You know, it's super easy.

[00:15:16] Like if we cannot be still, then we'll do that.

[00:15:19] So when I prayed, I said, hey, God, like, I'm going to do this and I'm going to trust you.

[00:15:25] And that's it.

[00:15:27] 40 days.

[00:15:27] I had zero hard moments.

[00:15:30] Wow.

[00:15:31] Like it was the easiest thing I have ever done.

[00:15:34] Like, I'm going to do it again.

[00:15:36] Like November 20, like November 20, I think one I'm going to do.

[00:15:40] So God was like, hey, so since you're already done it, there was the test.

[00:15:44] It was like day 40.

[00:15:46] I'm like, what do you want from me, God?

[00:15:48] Yeah.

[00:15:48] And God was like, well, I want you to enter 2025 completely empty for me so I can fill you up.

[00:15:53] And like the only way to be empty is like being like, kind of, I don't want to ask the question,

[00:15:59] but are you mentioning that you want me to do another 40 day fast?

[00:16:03] I don't want to ask because I'm afraid the fancy is going to be.

[00:16:06] But that's a sign you should ask.

[00:16:08] Yeah.

[00:16:08] And I was so hilarious on my prayer.

[00:16:10] I said, well, then I'm going to, I'm not going to skip the Thanksgiving and Christmas.

[00:16:17] You know, I'm going to eat these two days.

[00:16:19] You're okay with it?

[00:16:20] Just so you know, God.

[00:16:22] Yeah.

[00:16:22] I hope he's going to lead a good Thanksgiving dinner.

[00:16:25] Good Thanksgiving.

[00:16:25] Yeah.

[00:16:26] Good Christmas meal.

[00:16:27] Okay.

[00:16:28] And you know what God told me?

[00:16:30] Have I ever asked you to do or not do that you weren't willing to do?

[00:16:38] You can exercise your free will every day with God.

[00:16:43] And that's the only thing God doesn't touch.

[00:16:46] The rest, he takes control.

[00:16:49] Yeah.

[00:16:49] That's so easy to understand.

[00:16:51] You can exercise your free will.

[00:16:53] I want to do it.

[00:16:54] If you ask me, was it a God's will to be in United States?

[00:16:58] My answer always will be, I want it and God blessed it.

[00:17:03] You know?

[00:17:04] Interesting.

[00:17:04] Yeah.

[00:17:05] That's a really good question.

[00:17:05] Another Christian wouldn't, would say, oh yeah, God told me.

[00:17:09] No, God did not tell me.

[00:17:11] God didn't tell me.

[00:17:12] Like you go United States and you will be stuck because God know if he told me, I wouldn't

[00:17:17] even show up.

[00:17:18] I would be so chicken out.

[00:17:20] So there are things that God doesn't have to tell us.

[00:17:23] But also, if we know when God speaks, then I can say, oh yeah, actually God told me this.

[00:17:29] You know, like that moment that I was waiting for exact moment to ask the questions.

[00:17:34] Yeah.

[00:17:34] I know that that was from God.

[00:17:36] Very good.

[00:17:36] Do you have any from when you've been out like in your community?

[00:17:41] So grocery shopping or I don't know what else.

[00:17:44] I don't know.

[00:17:45] Yeah.

[00:17:45] Yeah.

[00:17:46] So I have been doing youth five years now.

[00:17:50] And one of my youth students teach me this.

[00:17:53] So I took him to like buy him lunch.

[00:17:59] And when the waitress brought the lunch to us, he paused him and said, hey, we are going

[00:18:08] to pray for this meal.

[00:18:09] Is there anything else you want us to pray for you?

[00:18:13] Yeah.

[00:18:14] And it was like, and since then I have been practicing that and I have been praying for

[00:18:20] so many people.

[00:18:21] Yeah.

[00:18:22] And I was like, that's actually great thing to let them know what we are going to do.

[00:18:26] Really good.

[00:18:27] Yeah.

[00:18:28] And you know, Chick-fil-A start hiring a lot of Muslim people.

[00:18:32] Interesting.

[00:18:32] Okay.

[00:18:33] Yeah.

[00:18:33] Like if you go to Chick-fil-A now, it's like 60% Muslim and 40% Christian for some reason.

[00:18:40] Yeah.

[00:18:41] So like, yeah, you can find a lot.

[00:18:45] So even at fast food, you might do that.

[00:18:48] Cool.

[00:18:48] And since they are in a, they are in a religious environment in a Chick-fil-A, I start going

[00:18:54] there more often because I caught now a lot of Muslim people.

[00:18:57] They're kind of primed.

[00:18:58] Yeah.

[00:18:59] And I'm, and I always, when they bring my food, I say, wait a minute, me, we are going

[00:19:04] to pray for this food.

[00:19:06] Is there any things I can pray for you?

[00:19:08] And I, and I force them to stay next to me.

[00:19:11] I will not let you go.

[00:19:13] Yeah.

[00:19:14] I will hold your hand and pray.

[00:19:17] That's awesome.

[00:19:17] Before you go.

[00:19:18] So like, uh, I know also like, uh, if I'm in a store, you know, I look towards people

[00:19:28] and sometimes I don't even have to come to you and say, pray.

[00:19:31] But then sometimes God will say, Oh, go pray for this, for this person.

[00:19:36] And, uh, like target is a good place to go.

[00:19:39] It's called target.

[00:19:40] It's mean, there are targeted people for, to be prayed for.

[00:19:43] Everyone's got targets on them.

[00:19:45] Yeah.

[00:19:45] So they are your targets.

[00:19:47] So always go in with the mentality of like, you know, I pray for people and specifically

[00:19:53] like there is like for a Christmas season, I will be more in the stores praying for people.

[00:20:00] And because you will find people everywhere and Christmas it's about Christ.

[00:20:06] Even the Muslim people know about it and everyone who shops, this is the topic.

[00:20:10] So there is no shame to talk about Christmas.

[00:20:13] So then I would go and like start just playing ground, like, you know, and just also go to

[00:20:18] people and talk about Christmas, talk about Jesus.

[00:20:21] Yeah.

[00:20:22] Yeah.

[00:20:22] And specifically when someone comes with their kid, I was, I would always connect with a

[00:20:28] parent and tell the story of Jesus.

[00:20:30] And so customers too.

[00:20:32] Well, I feel like we've got so much to go off of.

[00:20:35] Definitely.

[00:20:35] One of the things that we like to end the podcast with, as you may recall, is just like a little

[00:20:41] piece of advice or encouragement for our listeners to then take away with them when, you know, it's

[00:20:48] the last thing they hear and, you know, a little piece of advice or encouragement when

[00:20:53] it comes to sharing their faith.

[00:20:54] Yeah.

[00:20:55] So that's just something to think about if, or if you have a thought that comes to mind

[00:21:00] right now, we can jot it down as well.

[00:21:02] But...

[00:21:03] Yeah, it's super simple.

[00:21:04] If God gives you a story, it's not yours, it's his.

[00:21:08] He gives you and the only way you can get more if you share.

[00:21:12] Like, if you don't share, then it's biblical, you don't get more because you were, you didn't

[00:21:20] take the responsibility and, you know...

[00:21:23] Kind of a stewardship type of...

[00:21:24] Yeah.

[00:21:25] Like, yeah, it's like, and I would always say also, if you're reading your Bible, then,

[00:21:31] you know, don't read it for yourself.

[00:21:33] Just read it so that you also have a Holy Spirit living when you...

[00:21:38] And it needs to be fed as well, you know.

[00:21:40] Yeah.

[00:21:40] It's like the best thing.

[00:21:42] Like, read it for the relationship to grow.

[00:21:46] And if you are praying, don't just pray, but take responsibility to pray God.

[00:21:52] And always be careful of the words you say because I would say, God created the heaven

[00:21:59] and earth with his words.

[00:22:01] And he put so much power in our tongue.

[00:22:04] Right.

[00:22:05] And the only way we will never succeed if we don't say the right things.

[00:22:09] There is nothing magical, nothing, you know, but it's just practical and God knew about

[00:22:15] it.

[00:22:15] And if you are a Christian, if God did not put the things in a Bible, don't try to wrap

[00:22:22] your head around and try to understand things.

[00:22:25] That means you weren't supposed to know.

[00:22:28] If you knew, you wouldn't survive.

[00:22:30] So don't...

[00:22:31] Like, yeah, be simple.

[00:22:33] Yeah.

[00:22:33] Like, if it's not written in a Bible, don't create stuff.

[00:22:37] You know?

[00:22:38] Like, so be simple.

[00:22:40] Yeah.

[00:22:41] You know, have a Bible as a guide and live that way.

[00:22:43] Yeah.

[00:22:43] We do tend to complicate things, don't we?

[00:22:45] Yeah.

[00:22:46] Like, if it's not in a Bible.

[00:22:47] So, yeah.

[00:22:48] Like, I had people asking, when do you believe the end of the world?

[00:22:53] Like, what does Bible say?

[00:22:55] You know?

[00:22:55] Right, right.

[00:22:56] Well, why do you want the world to end now?

[00:22:59] Like, have you done what God asked you to do?

[00:23:02] You know?

[00:23:02] Have you done if Jesus comes today?

[00:23:04] Are you going to be okay to go with me or are you going to stay here?

[00:23:07] You know?

[00:23:08] Sure.

[00:23:08] What if that's more important than your question of exactly when?

[00:23:11] Right?

[00:23:11] Yeah.

[00:23:12] Yeah.

[00:23:12] I mean, I always say, oh, go pack up at 6am tomorrow.

[00:23:16] Like, I make jokes.
