| 0:00.0 | How's your week? Oh my god |
| 0:07.3 | Geez why did I why did I launch an app? I? |
| 0:10.9 | Forgot how much work this is it's been a while since I've had an app in the store and the last app that was in the store |
| 0:15.3 | Was the magazine because I'm very popular and didn't require tech support |
| 0:19.8 | Man, what was I thinking? |
| 0:23.4 | What what what's gone wrong? |
| 0:26.4 | It's it's mostly the funny thing is it's been a very successful launch overall like there have been very few |

| 1:30.1 | Right you're at like 900 around noon or so. Yeah, I mean, so I guess I was nine hours ago |
