| 0:25.9 | right now if you want to call 888-914-9149. Also I want to share with you some sad news. |
| 0:33.0 | And that is a longtime friend of mine and an occasional collaborator I worked with on different projects. |
| 0:40.6 | I'll tell you a little bit more about that in a moment, but his name was Paul Thigpan, Dr. Paul |
| 0:45.0 | Thigpen, T-H-I-G-P-E-N. He died day before yesterday, and although I never knew Paul to be in robust health, he was only, how old would he have been? |
| 1:00.5 | Maybe 71, 70, yeah, right around 71. |
