01:22opportunity to do snowboarding at Ski Dubai, which was actually much more of a rush than
01:27I expected.
01:28It was a lot of fun.
01:29The first day I got here, the waves were looking pretty good, better than I expected.
01:31And I was with all the chefs and they're all worried about food and logistics and I'm like,
