| 0:26.9 | Slack.com slash DHQ. I can't believe it. They started deliberating today in the Justice |
| 0:33.2 | Millet trial and then the day wrapped. I was actually expecting them to just come right |
| 0:38.3 | out and be like, walk out of the room and then just walk right back in in one single motion |
