So I've got a wild card today that I can't plan around.

0:11.7

And I'm sorry, this is, we're just going to have to have a hard stop at a time to be determined.

0:18.3

I'm sorry about that.

0:19.5

Your terms are acceptable.

0:21.1

Yeah. So here's the deal.

0:22.7

There is a shipment coming in from FedEx, and I don't like this.

0:28.5

They can't tell you when it's going to get here.

0:31.2

They're like, hey, we're going to show up between the times of this and this.

0:35.4

I just can't control it.

0:36.6

So I think... It's like how the cable guy was back in the day. Yeah. We'll be there between Tuesday and Thursday at 8 a.m. Tuesday and 7.30 p.m. Thursday. Will someone be home? I know, right? Can you just quit your job for a week so we can maybe do this thing that'll take 10 minutes? Possibly get you cable? No, I will watch my old DVDs. Thank you very much.

I have a question for you today. Do you have that note thing on your phone where you're like things I want to talk to Destin about? Because I have one about what I want to talk to Matt about. Do you have that? It's getting out of control. I have a lot of things I want to talk to you about. And I think it is stunting our friendship. Okay. Some of these are just going to have to come off the list and won't be NDQs, I guess, because we just need to talk. But yes, I do. What do you have? Okay. So I have a question today that I thought about, and I think it is a very interesting

1:46.9

idea, and I want to propose it. So in the spirit of no dumb questions, I'm going to ask a

1:53.4

question, and I want to game it out with you, because George and I've been talking, and I know

1:57.9

you and George talk, and we, I think we're all kind of honing in on a thing, and I'm going to propose something, and then let's just kind of game it out. Does that work?

2:06.4

Sure.

2:06.7

The question is, should Alabama make a law against the Infinite Scroll?

2:21.8

Ha, ha, ha, a deep topic, man.

2:23.7

It seems like a simple question at first.

2:26.8

No, it doesn't ever.
