The Welcome to Crawl Space. I'm Tim here today with Lance. Lance, how are you today?

0:34.1

I'm super annoyed because we have somebody on discussing probably second to D.B. Cooper,

0:39.8

it. Everyone together, we'll get through it. Tim, you're super excited. So I guess I don't need to ask

0:52.0

you how you're doing, but I will. How are you doing?

0:55.0
