| 0:00.0 | You're listening to another great podcast in the Stoplight Network. |
| 0:05.0 | Hello everyone and welcome to TechFan 239. |
| 0:09.0 | Apologies for not doing a show last week. I actually did record one. I was running a solo show, but when I got to edit it, the audio was terrible and it wasn't really usable. |
| 0:19.0 | It wasn't anything I could do to fix it. So I didn't |
| 0:22.7 | have time to record it again. However, I'm able to record this week and this week I have a co-host. |
| 0:28.5 | As you know, Tim is away, but I have a long-time friend of the show Owen Rubin with us. Hello, |
| 0:33.2 | Owen. David, how are you? And I was supposed to be there last week and ended up deciding to have my arm cut on instead. |
| 0:40.3 | You had a, yeah, and you, you've just given me the story. So this was a, this was not planned surgery. This was something that kind of had a, you had an accident. |

| 1:26.8 | And he grabbed my arm on the way down and sortaced him as he was starting to fall down, and he grabbed my arm |
| 1:28.4 | on the way down and sort of gave it a straight down tug. And there was a small little popping |
| 1:34.4 | sound in my arm. And it didn't hurt right away. Yeah. But the doctor basically said the tendon has detached |
| 1:41.3 | from the bone. Wow. The bice tendon. |
| 1:50.1 | So that happened about a month ago and they've been working through it and said, okay, did an MRI, we have to go into surgery to reattach it if you want it detached. |
