What’s this idea?

I want to know more.

I don’t know anything.

I just know that Chip and Jo want to do something with me,'” Clint said.

“Thursday comes, and I get in my car and I drive and there’s no signal.

“They want to make a show about old structures being turned from old to new.”

Talk about a whirlwind.
