| 0:04.5 | The question I had, and then this is more of a personal question for you, but it's like, |
| 0:09.0 | do you see like sometime in the future, you know, an endpoint to your podcast? |
| 0:13.5 | And I don't mean like, you know, okay, I've had enough. |
| 0:15.8 | I'm giving up this. |
| 0:16.7 | But more like, you know, you're satisfied with like the work that you've done, you know, |
| 0:23.8 | you don't have a lot more to say, do you kind of see an end point? |
