Hey Mark, do you know that apparently some people out there are unaware that on Patreon you get Take 2 in video?

0:08.3

Nothing surprises me anymore. What are we going to do about it?

0:10.8

Well, we're going to share a little preview of it right now for them to sit back and enjoy.

0:28.0

Well, hey, welcome. This is take two. And just an unfinished business thing from Take One.

0:32.9

Yes. We got that email from Steve Howe, the bagpipe player. Yes.
