0:18.1

Today we have my brother, Terrence Woodbury, who is a genius when it comes to numbers.

0:23.0

He actually does with data.

0:24.4

And Terrence is actually not very well suited for like your casual conversations or social

0:30.1

media because he deals in fact like the shit Terrence talks about is like real life stuff.

0:37.3

And so I, he's a good friend of mine, good brother,

0:40.9
