| 0:45.3 | but no, I'm glad I didn't. |
| 0:46.9 | I think it was a good one-parter. |
| 0:49.2 | But boy, did I get a lot of comments on the website? |
| 0:52.4 | I definitely want to do something not today |

| 1:59.9 | maybe they'll take it back or maybe but no they're they're sticking to it so I'm going to talk about that and then I've got some other |
| 2:05.6 | issues that we'll see if I have time for that I really want to get to regarding social justice and |
| 2:11.6 | kind of the PC scare that I've received. |
