1:36.3	We're trying this out for the first time.
1:39.3	Thank you for all of your A.M.A.
1:42.3	For those that are not familiar, AMA stands for Ask Me and a Thing.
1:51.3	This is, you know, I'm kind of sick right now, I'm not gonna lie.
1:56.4	People might say this is like the Michael Jordan flu game,
