| 0:15.6 | just went on a journey. Well, you entrusted this machine with making the right technical |

| 0:29.6 | some little oopsie doopsies. How do I sound, by the way, am I okay? Oh, you sound amazing. |
| 0:33.0 | Oh, thank you. Like you said, you're always nice to hear your voice. But, you know, it takes |
| 0:37.8 | you on a journey sometimes. In this case, what do you have? Did it run some diagnostics, John? |
