Before we record every single week, we've gotten in the habit of doing what John likes to call pre-flight, which is reasonable.

0:06.0

And we'll quickly, quickly walk through what we're going to talk about and where we think we're going to stop follow-up and start topics and end topics and do ask ATP and so on and so forth.

0:15.0

And we went the entire way through pre-flight.

0:18.0

And I felt like we had it pretty well sorted.

0:21.0

I think John felt like we had a pretty well sorted.
