0:00.0 | Hi, James. Ben, how are you? Frazzled. I'm frazzled, James. What has caused this, Ben? |
0:07.0 | I have been sitting outside, first outside my apartment, attempting to unlock the door, |
0:12.1 | and then outside of my apartment watching a locksmith trying to unlock my door. And then outside |
0:16.1 | my apartment watching a locksmith take a drill to my door, and then finally sitting in my office, watching |
0:22.1 | the locksmith and then try to fix the door. |
0:24.1 | And we're recording this podcast like two hours late. |
