Oh,

P O L L that is that's the nothing personal word of the day. It's a poll. I got a poll. Let's take a

0:15.2

poll by a show of hands at David P. Samson on Twitter. You can go in the DMs. You can go anywhere

0:21.3

you want. I'm taking a poll. It's my poll. My question. How many of you would rather

0:29.6

that coronavirus had not happened in 2020? That's my poll question. Because then I want to be able to

0:37.4

say that after taking a poll of 5,000, 10,000, 50,000, 2 million people, 96 percent said they would

0:46.6

prefer that coronavirus had never happened. Is that value added? Are you happy? That's the nothing

0:55.1

personal poll of the day? You ready? Should we do a whole segment on polls? I'd like to do a segment

2:10.2

E. None of the above, F of the above. I'd look at my watch. I'd see where the second hand was.

2:16.3

The rule was if the second hand is between the zero and the three, then you choose A. If it's

2:22.6

three and the six, you choose B, the six and the nine, you choose D, the nine and the 12, you choose D,

2:30.8

ABCD when you have a multiple choice that you don't know the answer to and you can't get penalized

2:36.4

for having a wrong answer. You guess. I used to guess in quadrants.
