| 0:18.3 | Stupid. Yeah, I'm 40 and stupid. Yeah, I turned 40 about a week ago. I did so in my hometown. |
| 0:26.8 | Actually, I have a brief story. I know that you are always sending me texts about how I should |
| 0:30.2 | tell more stories on this podcast because you like them so much. I usually want them to be long. |
| 0:33.6 | Yeah. Yeah. I have a brief story, not about being 40, but about being 39 and one day short of 40. |
| 0:40.4 | Are you ready to sit back and relax? It'll take about an hour. Let's get this over with. |
