| 0:00.0 | Hey, everyone. Before we start, I just wanted to apologize. |
| 0:02.6 | Apparently, my microphone was not working correctly during the recording that you're about to hear, which is heartbreaking because I love this conversation so much. |
| 0:10.6 | So please stick with us if you can. I had a backup going, so at least you'll be able to hear something. |
