0:00.0 | Well, all right, let's get started. Hi, everyone. Andy Richter here with another, another |
0:21.0 | episode edition. I don't know episode, I guess, of the three questions. And today I am talking |
0:29.8 | with Tony Jokopil. You're close. I'm going to jump in. I'm going to jump in. Andy, and don't |
0:35.5 | feel bad for a second about what I'm about to do here because my last name was Miss pronounced |
0:40.5 | at my graduation in high school. That's how complicated it is. The name, the name is, is never. |
0:46.7 | And as a result, I continue to, I don't because people always screw my name up, and I'm good |
0:52.6 | with it. I'm very carefree, but other people's names, which turns out they get upset about it. |
0:56.7 | They like, when I write new in the news business, they really want you to say it right. So it's |
