| 0:49.8 | I am here with an entire panoply of Lonnetics in the chat. We have Pitchforks, Walden, Welcome to the show. Happy to be here. We have Vultures Jason Frank in the house, Jason. Hi. Jason P.

And I'm going to be thrilled when that day comes, but who knows when it could be. It could be tomorrow or it could be like in 2029 at this point like who even knows so before we get into doing our |
