0:00.0 | We are going to start the podcast again, all right, but I'm a try. |
0:04.1 | I know I usually do it with two co-hosts, so it's going to be kind of hard to do this by myself. |
0:09.3 | But until we start up again, I'm going to kind of do little episodes to kind of get myself going again. |
