| 0:00.0 | Okay, Brad, I'm about to do some unnecessary work that is of extremely limited benefit and is probably going to be something that annoys me to the point after I do it that I undo it. |
| 0:11.7 | It's the best kind of work. Some might say the only kind of work. |
| 0:14.6 | I mean, maybe this is all work. |
| 0:17.0 | But so for the last like, I don't know, five years, I've had two monitors, high, low, one, one high, one low. Wait, only two? Only two. I have a third one for the stream PC off to the side. Okay. Yeah. So I've had them on one pole, on one like desk mounted arm. And then I have a split arm dealy. |

| 1:13.4 | Yeah. |
| 1:14.5 | The experience sitting on the other end of your webcam. |
| 1:17.0 | Angry typing will do it. |
| 1:18.9 | Uh, like a gentle nudge, a bump. |
| 1:21.4 | And I think it's because the monitor, the camera's attached to the top to the bottom monitor. |
| 1:26.6 | It's like sits between the two monitors. |
| 1:28.8 | And I think it's just too much weight for the pneumatics on the arm to kind of absorb. |
| 1:34.0 | And I think if I moved one monitor to to one pole and another, the second monitor to a second pole, it would be a lower impact on all the poles. |
