0:05.5	Hi, Becca. I'm very excited to do our Tuesday show, right?
0:08.5	This is our Tuesday show. Okay. Okay. We're doing the, we're doing a questionnaire today.

0:17.3	So we all know that you keep saying that at the end of the run, you're going to do the Colbert questionnaire. And I respect that and I enjoy that. I'm looking forward to hearing what your answers are. But there are four questions that have long since been retired from the questionnaire. Okay. Well, this is fair. Can we do it on the podcast? We can do it on the podcast. I don't remember what they are. Oh, I know what one of them is. I know what one of them is. Okay, go ahead. Go do it.

That's the type of transponder it has to have. And it's so fun. Like right now, if I wanted to, I'll get my phone turned off right now because we're recording this, but I could pop it up and say, hey, who's going through the Strait of Hornmoves right now? Because nobody, by the way. Yeah. I mean, it's fascinating. You can see all those ships bunched up in the Gulf and the Raven Gulf. And then nothing around the straight you've really turned me
