[0:24] I won't mean that I wish you the very best in this period between this conference and that. [0:44] And thank you for your hard work and your service to the nation. [0:47] Our parents are part of what we've been doing for the past two years. [0:49] It's okay, Mike. [0:49] And, uh, and speaking of your personal travels, I, uh, was brought to that trip. [0:52] Right. [0:55] Right. [1:01] Would you adjourn today? [1:04] Right. [1:08] Right. [1:11] Well, I know this doesn't need to be said, and I know Mike's name is probably a little remarked. [1:22] No, that's right. [1:33] I don't know what you mean by two to one, okay? [1:38] No, I don't know why I want you to be here yet. [1:42] Well, not yet. [1:43] Well, right. [1:43] And then the, uh, I think it's back to that thing we just talked about with the check. [1:45] We talked about it. [1:45] We haven't had an answer yet, but I think it's not. [1:47] Right. [1:47] Well, we should rather have a... [1:48] A great service. [1:50] I mean, I've got to cover the next three weeks. [1:52] That's certainly not something we have to worry about. [1:56] But after the next three weeks, it's an all-star service. [2:02] I hope so. [2:03] Okay. [2:03] Oh, thank you, Michael. [2:05] Thank you. [2:06] Bye.
