| 0:00.0 | All right. I have very few friends in the mainstream financial media that work for, you know, |
| 0:08.4 | outlets like Bloomberg and CNBC. I've cast most of them aside. However, one person has emerged, |
| 0:13.8 | and by the way, I don't even know if I ever told you this, but your work came on the recommendation |
| 0:18.2 | of somebody that I take very seriously who will remain nameless, |
| 0:22.6 | but they said, you should follow Eric Balchunas from Bloomberg some years ago. And I did. I started |
| 0:27.7 | following you on Twitter. And it's been exceptionally informative. You work for Bloomberg. You're an |
| 0:34.1 | expert in all things, exchange traded funds. And you put up a post the other day |
| 0:41.0 | that piqued my curiosity. So I thought it would be cool to ask you about it. And then also, |
| 0:48.0 | while I have you, get the state of the union as it relates to ETFs in the passive bid whether or not you see |

| 1:29.8 | into the Queens Village area. And it's I told people it's like two blocks from where like rocky jog |
| 1:36.9 | through Italian market. Like it's kind of right around there. Yeah. So yeah, I love it down there. I'm in |
| 1:42.5 | Delaware today. We have a Delaware office. |
| 2:05.1 | It's like 40 minutes from Philly. And so I come in here to badge in and try to work out of the office sometimes. So that's where I am today. But normally, I'd be home at Philly, working from home. And you are, you live in South Philly for the people who incorrectly know what the South Philly border is. There's a lot of people that think South Philly starts after South Street, but it does not. South Philly starts after Washington. |
