0:00.0	Ben Swant. Nice to meet you, bro. Thanks to meet you too, man. I love this place,
0:10.9	by the way. It's amazing in here. It's so good. Thank you, dude. Thank you. Yeah. John
0:15.1	Karaaku recommended to get you on. Good. And talk about all your stuff. And I've been digging into
0:19.4	your history, which is insane. A little bit. And how you've been vindicated over like with the last 10 years,
