0:19.4

It's me, your man, M.G. Marcus Grant, joined by Michael F. Florio and Lequan Jones. It's Burgfest. Burmast. By my count, we only have, I think, what, three Bergfest's left on this show. Wow, man. This is the third to last one, right? I believe so. I mean, I don't know if they're making us do a week 18 show. I have no idea. High Tim, are we doing a week 18 show? We're not doing a week 18 show. So as far as I'm,

1:29.5
