0:00.0 | From Gimlet, there's a reply all. I'm Alex Goldman. |
0:08.3 | And I'm PJ Boat. |
0:09.3 | Uh, this week we have our boss, Alex Bloomberg in the studio. Alex actually just got back |
0:17.9 | from vacation in the Bahamas. How was it? It was, it was great. |
0:22.1 | So Alex, you asked us to come into the studio and I don't have any idea why. So, um, lay |
0:28.0 | it on us. I need some super tech support help. Whoa. You're crossing segments. I am. |
