| 0:00.0 | Yes, I was a few minutes late today because I was battling with broken computer stuff. |
| 0:06.2 | Oh, oh me too. |
| 0:08.2 | No, not that kind of broken computer stuff. |
| 0:12.4 | The kind of broken. I should, I didn't know not to do this right before. I was supposed |
| 0:15.8 | to record a podcast, but whatever. My son is setting up his account at his college. |
| 0:22.1 | He's selected a college. He's enrolled. Oh, congrats. |
| 0:24.3 | You know, get to get to your set up your computer account, right? And I wanted to go through it |

| 1:14.1 | Seems like a simple task. It is technically possible, technically 100% possible, |
| 1:19.1 | but frustratingly annoying to do. So here are the two things. First of all, this wouldn't, |
| 1:26.6 | I wouldn't be angry and late if it wasn't for the fact that the school's thing is broken. |
| 1:31.6 | Right. So that's the first problem. The first problem is definitely not your fault, John. |
