0:00.0	All right. I was going to say Dr. Pressman. Can I call you Dr. Pressman? What do you prefer? I mean, I think Elisa is just fine. Elisa, okay. Well, you never know. I like the formalities sometimes. Some people occasionally, like I had Franz de Wall on about a year and a half ago, who's like one of the premier primatologists. And he's like, you know, sometimes people just want
0:21.8	that formality. And I was like, yeah, yeah, fair enough. Well, I am excited to have this conversation with
0:27.1	you because we're going to talk about all things, parenting, developmental psychology, you know,
