Completely unscripted, totally spontaneous. That's why sometimes it sounds truly ineligent

0:17.1

like last week. But what are you going to do? We don't change it or edit it. We just present to you

0:24.4

what happens here. And thank you for being with me. It's just a chance to talk to you. Take your
