0:16.8 | on the show before, but I think this might become a new thing if we don't pluck this |
0:20.0 | up today. |
0:21.0 | I am joined by friend of the pod, one of my favorite humans, David Dennis Jr. author |
0:26.2 | of the movement made us. David, welcome back. |
0:30.3 | Thanks for having me. I've been practically, probably big to come on. I was like, we have |
0:34.6 | to do this. So I'm glad you did. You did. You did. So here's what we're doing. David and |
