| 0:00.0 | Oh boy, I'm way into this. You have no idea how long I've been, how I've been looking |
| 0:26.7 | forward to this. Is that weird? Should I not? Should I play it cool? No, I don't think it's, I don't |
| 0:32.9 | think it's weird at all. If anything, I feel like one of the reasons I wanted to talk to you about, |
| 0:36.4 | I mean, I've wanted to talk to you about this ever since we were in Montreal last year and we were both, |
| 0:40.0 | we both talked to each other and to be super excited about the watch. Is that I feel like too many |
