| 0:10.1 | Yeah, I think it's important to you guys. |
| 0:12.1 | Obviously, you shouldn't always wait to the end of the year, but most people do. |
| 0:16.4 | And just like a lot of people, I think it's a priority that, you know, especially it's kind of a dead |
| 0:21.8 | week for a lot of people, the week between Christmas and New Year's. It's really, really good |
