C

1:05

I think it's the big asphalt company.

D

Danno SullivanHost

1:08

Yes.

D

Danno SullivanHost

1:09

And they sent a big ass letter asking if we could make a big ass contribution.

C

1:12

Whose fault is that?

D

Danno SullivanHost

1:14

It's no one's fault, but asphalt.

C

1:17

I would definitely contribute 10% of

D

Danno SullivanHost

1:20

Okay.

D

Danno SullivanHost

10% is good.

D

Danno SullivanHost

1:21

That's a tithe, right?

C

1:22

That's a tithe, which comes from the word Thai, which means 10.

D

Danno SullivanHost

1:27

Oh, Thai means 10?

C

1:28

Yes.

D

Danno SullivanHost

1:29

A lot of those Asian countries have.

C

1:36

Yes.

Chai means 20.

C

1:38

China is 20 now.

D

Danno SullivanHost

1:40

Wow, I wish we could get an expert on this topic.

D

Danno SullivanHost

1:42

This sounds fascinating.

C

1:43

Well, we should get an expert on this because if we are going to be donating Thai of our funds to different places, I mean, we want to be careful that we're not giving out chai, phai, Mai Thai.

C

Do you know what a Mai Thai is?
