| 0:15.2 | out almost weekly and I think you'll enjoy it they're kind of just |
| 0:19.2 | conversational chats between Sarah and I talking about things. Sometimes dad-related, sometimes not, you know, it's like just |
| 0:26.3 | tuning in to our friendship. More or less. If you're not able to do so, we totally understand. It is a rough out there financially. These are rough, rough times. We're just happy to have you along for the ride. All right, let's get into this. Hello, |
| 0:44.6 | Sarah Marshall. Hello Alex deed. Here we are. It is the end of the year. I'm |
| 0:51.4 | very proud of us. You've had a big year. I had a big year. I think all of us had a big year. All of us had a big year. |
| 1:02.0 | There's this thing happening on Twitter right now. |
| 1:05.0 | I don't know if this is important anywhere but Twitter, |
