0:03:48
spk_0
 

chaps. And I'm also wearing shorts. And I Biking shorts?

0:03:55
spk_2

0:04:03
spk_1

0:04:09
spk_0
 

you know those they're small briefs, but the stitching is white.

0:04:16

0:04:21

Yeah. Those shorts look like they are giving you a lot of butt support. The chaps? And the bike, jabs, not so much. Yeah. Now Tiffany, tell me.

0:04:38
spk_0
 

You You introduce in your I don't mean to use your first name, but you introduce yourself in your commercials. You say that you go be above and beyond when you are choosing your cuts of meat. What makes your process so stringent?

0:04:56
spk_1
 

Well, I I mean top top to bottom. It is focus and I'm there I I'm there with the cow from beginning to end. And then when we choose the cut, So what I mean by that is I give birth to the cow. I then monitor the chemicals. Life, And then when it's time to put the cow down, I obviously have a a Sarimony, some. Other slaughter ceremony. Where we put the cow down, we say some kind words, some of the cow's friends get to speak, and then we cremate the remains other than the rib eye.

0:05:33
spk_0
 

Wow.

0:05:34
spk_2
 

Wow. You could you've agreement the whole cow except for the rib eye.

0:05:39
spk_0
 

Rib eye is a few inches.

0:05:42
spk_1
 

That's right. Out of respect to the cow. The only cut that matters is the rib eye and I feel that if we give the the rib eye the focus, the cows will start to understand as they grow. That the body needs to only focus on a good rib eye.

0:05:55
spk_0
 

Mhmm.

0:05:55
spk_1
