0:00.0 | From Gimla, this is Replyall. I'm your man or Joachie. And I'm Alex Goldman. |
0:13.5 | An Alex, you and I are joined actually by a new producer who's been working with us for |
0:17.7 | a past couple of months. Her name is Kim Nadefain-Pieta, sir. Hello Kim. Good job, Emmanuel. |
0:23.0 | You've been asked that so well. Oh, good job on like you last night. Yeah. I wasn't even |
0:28.9 | going to attempt it. I mean, I've said it in the credits like several times now. That's true. |
0:32.7 | So I am so excited to be here now because I wanted to talk to you guys about this one idea that I |
