Other times Napa Valley came up

  1. You were just saying about these guys who woke up in the middle of the night because they saw the corona. Earlier this week, there was an earthquake in California. It was in the Napa Valley where they make wine. Enough people around there have these, you know, these exercise bands that are attached to the internet.
