Listen to me." But she does, and it's remarkable, and her story is remarkable.

It was a book and a movie, it was called Soul Surfer, and she was the Texas Alliance for Life, uh, keynote last night, and Rhonda got to hang out with her, and they have cool pictures of the both of them.

Uh, she was t- had she ever been to Austin before? Uh, so there, it's this picture of them in front of the Capitol Gom- Dome at, you know, 2:00 in the morning.

So, and Rick said, "I happen to be retiring this year as a federal prosecutor, and I would like to help you with this documentary." So the odd couple of this federal prosecutor and this blonde-haired [laughs] filmmaker [laughs] who, who produced and wrote Bratz, the movie, and, you know, Soul Surfer, here we are going into heavy duty exposé.

Right.

Based on story, though, because I knew we had to tell a story.

But I was speaking about getting back up to youth, and I was using the analogy of – Oh, that surfer girl, Bethany Hamilton.
