| 0:02.8 | No, I mean, that's fine. I don't give a shit about longevity or quantum computing, but |
| 0:06.9 | here's a good news, David. It's not all about you. There's four people. |
| 0:12.4 | You could have two people who like the topic and then you could just ask them a pro. |

| 1:48.2 | you, our loyal audience. And when this thing is over, we are going on world tour. We'll see you in |
| 1:53.7 | Vegas. We'll see you in at the Royal Aberdeen Hall in London and Miami. All cities are on the |
