0:00.0 | It kind of felt like another round of getting reps. |
0:02.6 | I had really honed those questions to these things. |
0:05.4 | So I'm just listening. |
0:06.1 | I'm like, okay, oh, that was a great question. |
0:07.6 | I had a great story for that one. |
0:08.8 | I'm like, oh, my question's going to be terrible. |
0:10.3 | But every question I heard before me, I had an answer, and mine I flipped around. |
