| 0:23.6 | I'm sorry. Well, cancel the recording. Stop. Yeah. No, I kind of forgot that it was going to be |
| 0:32.7 | 300. But you know what? We're going to celebrate with a Q&A for June because this has been a fun |
| 0:39.2 | thing we do each month. Yeah, I love it. My favorite thing. Yeah. How you doing? Pretty good. You know, |
| 0:45.1 | a little sunburned, but otherwise. Yeah, you still sound great. I was wondering because you're on a |
| 0:50.4 | trip. You know, I don't know if you still have your like wooden pop filter, your artisanal pop |
| 0:56.0 | filter. That one does not work for traveling. So I brought a different pop filter that can survive |
| 1:01.6 | the trip. Can't take any risks. Yeah, the pop filter that previously your partner had carved out of |

| 1:57.9 | different frequencies? I can't fix that. Yeah, there's 11 refrigerators in this room right now. |
| 2:02.4 | God. Sorry, but I forget about it. Well, that's all inside podcast stuff. Yeah, let's tackle |
