0:00.0 | Okay. We're laughing because Chuck just said, what do you want to talk about in the preamble? |
0:10.3 | And I said, wow, what if we talk about the amazing interview we just conducted? |
0:14.7 | That's probably a good idea. I'm going to go with it. |
0:17.5 | It's the way I heard it episode number 281 and not to overstate it. But yes, this was |
0:22.0 | a very good interview. And I say that not because Chuck or I asked amazing questions, although |
0:28.4 | I think we did okay. You did better than I did. Yeah. Well, you know, that's kind of why |
