Summary

0:57.8

Samson. I'm back. I'm not back. I'm totally delayed. Got into the airport at Buenos

1:05.0

Aras. I want to talk a little bit about what I've been doing the past week. I appreciate

1:08.2

that everybody's been listening to the mailbags and to the Samson sit-downs we did. But

1:13.1

we're back doing a live show here on Monday, the 28th. I expected to be doing it back from

1:19.6

New York. Instead, I'm still in Argentina. Got to the airport and all of a sudden the plane

1:26.1

was delayed by wait for it, 12 hours. What do you do? You head into the city of Buenos
