| 0:00.0 | Hello. Hi, Rosabel. How are you? |
| 0:07.0 | Hi, David. I'm good. How are you? I'm good. I've got some big news. This is going to be the last flightless |
| 0:13.3 | spirit of 2025 because we're having a couple of weeks off. Oh my gosh. Yeah. How do you feel about |
| 0:19.6 | that? What a year it's been? What a year? What have you |
