I've made a couple of just absolutely terrible errors. I have asked Mark O'Arman for advice on things to buy.

0:07.5

I'm related to absolutely nothing at all. You know, ATP membership is a thing. If you wanted to go to ATP.ethm.sla.join, you could join.

It'd be a member of this very program. He's recommending relatively inexpensive things now though, right?

0:20.5

In my defense, the most expensive pair of headphones I recommend it was only $700.

1:21.1
