0:00.0 | I am back with Andrew Yang, and you're thanks for joining me. |
0:24.0 | Sam, thank you for having me. This is going to be a refuge of a conversation, I think. |
0:32.0 | I mean, most people listen to you because you make us smarter, |
0:36.0 | why is there more enlightened? And I feel like I could use some of that energy. |
0:42.0 | Nice. Well, I hope to provide, but I'm very happy to talk to you first, but before we jump into |
0:47.7 | all the topics of interest, how are you feeling? You caught COVID, right? |
0:52.0 | Yes, I have COVID, and I was hoping for the sympathy, |

2:06.7 | how you're pairing, and then you just check, and then you're like, I'm fine. So anyone listening |
2:11.9 | to this, if you want to be prepared, just get a blood oxygen that are measured in the tool, |
2:18.8 | it's only I think 20 bucks or so. Yeah, you can get those on Amazon, or there was a time when |
2:24.7 | you could get those on Amazon, I assume they've been mass-produced at this point. So Andrew, you are |
