| 0:23.4 | Tuesday's top story. |
| 0:27.7 | Okay, everyone do the hand, right? It's happening. We're doing that. Merge is coming. |
| 0:31.9 | September 15th. There we got windy this morning. September 15th is the projected deadline for their merge to occur. |
| 0:38.7 | It could occur between September 13th and 16th. And that's because they're basing the merge |

| 1:27.7 | reason for Ethereum to exist in the first place when it's competing with Bitcoin. |
| 1:32.3 | Adam, I'll throw us on over to you. Huge deal coming up in the next week or so. How are you planning |
| 1:36.6 | on celebrating or are you going to celebrate? Oh, man, I'm so risk-averse that I'm not one that |
| 1:41.9 | really celebrates about these types of things. I honestly look at the upcoming date with a little bit of trepidation. |
| 1:46.7 | It's not trepidation because they haven't done their diligence on it. |
