Yeah. Not even, yeah, it was a while ago.

Ryan Sickler (3:05)

Who did that stonework out front?

Kevin Ryan (3:07)

I don't know, but it's exactly the same. Is it really? Because there's a picture.

Ryan Sickler (3:10)

Stone's timeless, man.

Kevin Ryan (3:11)

It's the only picture we have as a family together. It's my mom, my dad, my brother and me. And that's it's right. I guess the neighbor took it. It was like Easter. And it's in it's on that. It's in that front yard.

Ryan Sickler (3:21)

Kirsten, can you go back to 2007?

Kevin Ryan (3:23)

Ryan Sickler (3:32)

How long were you here?

Kevin Ryan (3:33)

How old were you? Four years. OK, and then we this is when like everything was still.

This was everything was still good. Everybody was together, I mean, from at least on paper.

Ryan Sickler (3:45)

Yeah, I know what you mean.

Kevin Ryan (3:46)

Then things were going pretty well at this point financially, I think, for my dad. And they moved up into, like, the proper suburbs, like right outside of Philadelphia.

Ryan Sickler (3:57)

And I'm sorry, I'm just staring at this house. Yeah, such a weird building.
