0:03.9 | I want to take more work trips, more gray cations, rent a hotel room, basically a self-created |
0:12.4 | prison to just do a bunch of work. That's where I'm recording the show from right now. |
0:17.8 | I'm once again at an undisclosed location in England in a hotel room. |

0:32.4 | You can have your one phone call but it also has to be work and thus we're talking. |
