Hey and welcome to this short stuff. Shorties, there's Chuck, there's Jerry, I'm Josh, we're

0:09.3

all feeling kind of short, so this is short stuff. I'm feeling tall. Are you sure or why not?

0:16.1

I always feel like I'm six three. How tall are you? Oh, I used to be five, ten, now I'm

0:22.0

like five, nine and a half. Oh wait, I just realized this is a short stuff. We have no time

0:25.9

for this. Sure we do. So by the way, everyone, these, I know that when we started releasing these,

0:33.1

they were in the regular stuff, you should know feed on Wednesdays and then also in a stand-alone
