0:05.0 | Hello, welcome to the show, but you aren't expecting to hear me back again this week, |
0:10.6 | but I'm back again. Hi Mark. |
0:14.0 | Hi, how you doing? |
0:15.6 | I'm great. I have to be totally honest with you. I'm so excited to be doing the show with you. |
0:21.4 | Oh, that's very sweet. Well, I'm very excited. This is the first time we've done a show together, isn't it? |
