| 0:00.0 | Hello, Wienabbers. My name is Jesse Meekam, and this is podcast number 388 for |
| 0:09.3 | Wienab, where we teach you four rules to help you stop leaving paycheck to paycheck, get out of debt and save more money. |
| 0:15.0 | A few weeks ago, survived Prime Day, I'll admit, I picked up a thing or two, I picked up a Wi-Fi mesh network if you must know Ero. |
| 0:28.0 | I was tipped off on it from our Slack channel at the office and yeah, we needed it for the office the literal office here |
| 0:38.0 | We're mostly remote by most I mean all but well we're basically remote but we do have a little office and we I |
| 0:45.6 | wanted to put some mesh network type stuff in here so I picked up that for a deal and |
| 0:51.2 | I also picked up a Vitamix blender because our Bluntick is on its |

| 1:51.9 | immediately. Now if you can say I need a |
| 1:57.0 | Vitamix I've been wanting a Vitamix for two years I'm not kidding you |
