| 0:21.6 | again. Congratulations. I mean, I gotta thank all the worlders out there. Thanks so much. |
| 0:26.1 | It's been, I mean, it feels like this book came out about a year ago, but it's only been a couple weeks. |
| 0:31.2 | We clotted in at number three on the that combined New York Times bestseller. |
| 0:35.0 | Yeah, I'm a little pissed that Aureli was a spot ahead of you. I think there's still time for |
| 0:38.5 | the world those to remedy that. I was gonna say, look, if people thought we were harping too much |
