1:09.1	So right before I hit record, I was like, you know, obviously swigging coffee, which is what I do. And I had this like weird burp thing come up and then it reminded me. Like one of my biggest fears is like inadvertently burping on my podcast, which is sort of ridiculous because I have the feature to edit. It's not like I'm here live.
