| 0:50.0 | isn't that a common man type of we are at at scoreboard in Hopkins. John had to fit me into his very busy schedule, increasingly busy schedule, it seems. So this is Monday night as opposed to the usual Sunday night. And so I walk in here, and usually it's, we've done five shows here, maybe out of 80, whatever. Sure. So it's usually never busy. Right. |
| 1:11.4 | You know, |
| 1:11.8 | just hand- We often are a little bit later than that's true. |
| 1:13.9 | So I figure I'm walking in. I'll take the back booth and John will come in. I walk in and there's, it's like, yeah, it's not packed, but it's, you know, 80% full. And all of a sudden these people start, hey, Aaron, hey, Aaron. And I look, and it's all these, like my aunt and uncle's friends, you know, the parents of my cousin. |

We've got to get me out of my shell somewhat. Speaking of embarrassing, did you see the Oscars? Did you watch athmm. Did you see Jennifer Lawrence fall? Yes. |
| 2:34.3 | Okay, so I was thinking about this, and I thought this would be a good topic, because I think it would illustrate the difference between you and I. So I was thinking, like, that's embarrassing. Although, you know, she was going up to get a huge award, and she didn't seem to care. But I thought, that's a really embarrassing.
