| 0:06.9 | Care what's the date? The 26th is the day after Christmas. 26th. You forget? |
| 0:12.0 | Cara. Whoa. Merry day after Christmas. How are you? Agna gave you a brain fog. I know. I know. We're trying to do too many things at once. Anyway, |
| 0:20.1 | it's December 26th |
| 0:23.0 | 2021 day after Christmas and we are super excited for |

| 1:54.3 | Yeah, I'm an actor and singer songwriter and just kind of general overall creative guy. I got a podcast called People Pleaser with Austin Archer. |
