0:00.0	Hello everybody and welcome back to another next Lander podcast.
0:14.6	The race towards the end of the year continues.
0:18.2	I didn't make it a race.
0:19.6	I didn't even sign up for a race,
0:21.1	but the time sure seems to want me to move quickly. I got, I got bad news for you. You did make
0:26.8	it a race. Oh, man. We did this to ourselves. No, it's, look, we could, we could set our own pace,

1:33.6	um, I just always also assume that the more you live, the lower a percentage of the time you're
