Meo how are you feeling are you caught up on your sleep be feeling rested after your late night Monday festivities?

0:16.2

30 minutes long so you know 30 minutes on the dot yeah yeah almost exactly

0:34.9

if it had been a hour and a half event then it would have been more of a like but it was like you know 12 midnight you know it's all right half past midnight. Once you get around to one, then I was starting to get like ties, that's when I kind of logged off for whatever.

0:36.4

But, um, look, it's a fun thing.

I hope this isn't the new default time.

1:46.3

but yeah I think it was basically like we've got some products that maybe could have been a
