[0:30] I've got so much to go over here with him that I think I just put in some of it relates to him. [0:38] So shall we try 5 o'clock? [0:39] If that doesn't work... [0:45] Yeah, and telling him he could do it then. [0:48] Just, he knows what I'm doing and I'm going over this stuff. [0:51] It doesn't follow the possibilities of doing both. [0:57] I don't, I mean, Vietnam. [0:58] So why don't you call him back and say, don't, scrub the tree a lot. [1:04] Okay. [1:04] That's great. [1:05] And, uh, yeah, 5. [1:06] 5 would be fine, or, or in the morning if it's just 12 o'clock. [1:09] Well, wait a minute. [1:09] 5 o'clock is probably better because, uh, I'll have to get out of bed.
