| 0:00.0 | That's just us. |
| 0:00.8 | There was no, it's like, you're either matching or I guess we're walking out of the house. I don't think that's an option. So I was like, hey, look, like I'm not ready for my experience. We're over. Let's just match and let's just call it a night. Dear Shandy. Welcome back to Dear Shandy listeners. Hello, Andy. Hello. How are you today? You're good. You're good. |
