| 0:19.4 | Today's main event, Amex races out of the gate. What's next? Today I'm... Sound effect there. Sorry, didn't mean... That was a good... Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt you. That was a really good sound effect. I was going to tell you why I was excited about the next segment. I'm more excited than usual about the giant mailbag. Oh, more excited than usual. |
| 0:39.3 | And that's because, what's going on? |
| 0:40.3 | That's because for our video watchers, you're going to see the first time our giant mailbag has actually made it onto the screen. |
| 0:49.3 | Now, I know it's going to look backwards to those watching because... |
| 0:53.3 | Well, maybe. Well, we'll see we'll see but anyway um |

Because, I mean, we had a week there where the mailman got lost or something. |
| 2:04.2 | And so I think that they were just trying to send us a message here and say, let's, you know, let's get on it. Let's get on it. I think you're right. But anyway, it was, it was, it was, that was a fantastic. Okay. This is Jake from MSP in response to our post about like hurry and pick your your Marriott |
| 2:21.4 | choice benefit. |
