All right Elizabeth, how you doing? Hi George, hi Christina, I enjoy watching the both of you

1:04.4

great dynamics on YouTube. Oh thank you. Congratulations. What an honor to talk with you.

1:11.6

How can we help today? Thank you. So I'm calling because I have my question is around should I pay
