| 0:00.0 | What's up, guys? Welcome back to Modern Craftsman Monday. Monday with my beautiful |
| 0:11.7 | gaffy airy voice. We got John back on this week. For better work. John, I don't really |
| 0:23.3 | thought you weren't going to say anything. I was like, yeah, it's not going to say anything. |
| 0:29.0 | Yeah. This podcast, we realized that John's what he brings to the table first and foremost |
| 0:35.7 | is his good looks. We do talk about that. It's a podcast. And then his work ethic and drive. |
| 0:42.1 | Then we're two and number three. And then budget schedule, I think we're four and five. |

| 1:51.2 | I think it's something that, you know, social is going to stick around. We all have young |
| 1:56.9 | kids now. And ensuring that they, they understand the potential pitfalls of seeing utterly perfect |
| 2:06.7 | human beings thrown in your face every single day. We might get out of this alive. |
| 2:11.5 | This podcast brought to you by the Ration molding in Mowork. So listen to this. The folks at the |
| 2:16.6 | Ration are doing something unheard of in this economy. Thanks to increased production volume |
| 2:21.3 | and production efficiencies. They're actually lowering the price of their beveled sightings. |
