| 2:41.0 | Oh, totally agree. A great question. Even if I can't answer it doesn't matter. It's just too good to be true if it's a great question. I think the right question is oftentimes better than the best advice. Right. |
| 2:53.0 | Oh, yeah. Totally because it's troubling. It gets under your skin and stays there a long time. Yeah. The answer is bounce off my forehead. But like a good question sticks me in the eye. What? Anyway, so today's guest is a regular on the porch. |
