[0:00] Hello.
[0:03] Well, how was your trip to Braxton?
[0:10] You alive or not?
[0:11] Fine.
[0:11] Right.
[0:11] Well, I guess we, uh, were a little bit too, uh, over-counted on that straw.
[0:13] You got it?
[0:17] Yeah.
[0:17] Yeah.
[0:19] How bad is it that it's for us?
[0:33] Yeah.
[0:41] It wasn't just comedy.
[0:44] It was sort of a cop-out.
[0:45] Yeah.
[0:45] Even if the deficit or the security doesn't have a place to go for the big marvels, you know, people are probably not going to find out right now.
[1:21] They checked the first boat, and then after that, we started walking around.
[2:01] This guy didn't stop that.
[2:19] He didn't make quite a few of the problems.
[2:25] He didn't go at all.
[2:25] He didn't get many.
[2:26] He was not that sure of that time.
[2:26] Brennan, I'm sure that's where he would come, of course, if he already had it.
[2:28] But let's go right after Meany and put Jen up in the grass.
[2:29] We've got to keep that in check.
[3:00] to be a field aid for the left wing.
[3:53] And if he waits too long, then, you know, there's going to be one hell of a time where every ship leaves and every person gets a power.
[4:12] Yeah.
[4:12] And Chuck, there's no alternative to a pirate, but a lot of other pirates can't beat, you know what I mean, on the basis of brawn and adversity.
[4:24] Yeah.
[4:38] There they are.
[4:40] Yeah.
[4:40] Hello.
[4:41] No, I think you ought to call and give me your code 13-0.
[4:43] Just say that you're going on your own.
[4:45] That's the thing.
[4:48] So I just say, look, you're worried about my business dues, and then I pour it to him.
[4:58] I say, for Christ's sake, help me.
[4:58] He's got labor.
[5:00] He's got all that.
[5:01] He's got all that.
[5:01] I think, uh, and he said, you know, uh, he had, he had, he had a lot of heavy work, but...
[5:04] You know, he's a very clever fellow.
[5:09] But on the other hand, it's good that he hears from a few people.
[5:12] Because he'll hear from the Democratic left.
[5:17] They'll want to keep him in.
[5:18] You know, the Mary Lasters and all that have been built in.
[5:22] They're all signing around him now.
[5:24] But surely the old left figure, he's their only horse.
[5:29] Yeah, well, after all the meetings against Jackson, it was a good one.
[5:47] Well, anyway, I give him a call.
[5:53] All right.
