[1:22] Awesome, I see you.
[1:44] Mark.
[1:45] You'll be there, too.
[1:45] You better be there.
[1:45] Maybe you shouldn't have.
[1:46] Sure.
[1:46] The main thing is that now you've got to do it.
[1:47] Okay.
[1:47] You have tremendous strength.
[1:49] All right.
[1:50] Great.
[1:50] I'll see you in a little while.
[2:18] That's gonna be Shattergate.
[2:22] Right, right.
[2:31] Now you've done a great job.
[2:38] You've done a hell of a job.
[2:39] We've got a hell of a world.
[2:39] We've got Mel and Bryce and the three of you.
[2:40] You're a rocket shop.
[2:42] You're a team of staff.
[2:43] And these other guys go out and they go, you know, just as we asked the people here.
[2:46] You know?
[2:47] Don't you think so?
[2:47] Bryce, you'll believe it.
[2:52] I'll see you at Boston in a while.
[3:15] All right.
[3:15] All right.
[3:15] All right.
[3:15] All right.
[3:15] All right.
[3:16] All right.
[3:16] All right.
[3:16] All right.
[3:19] He must say that.
[3:42] He must not just say that he's leaving, but he must not be just saying, look, I've forgotten to check in on Saul, for example, much later.
[3:44] Good.
[3:45] It seems, well, I don't know if that's the last time he's going to be gone.
[3:46] He's, but that's his point.
[3:47] He's forgotten to check in on Saul.
[3:48] I'm sorry about Calvin, I know he was out with the other son, but he does waste more time than he's given right now.
[4:19] The main one is that he is the man who has the right to be God.
[4:38] Brother Tom.
[4:39] Right.
[4:39] But the main thing is that I don't want him to travel abroad because the travel is my representation.
[4:41] I know you don't want that, but I do.
[4:42] There's no problem with it, but Tom doesn't understand that, right?
[4:43] He can travel abroad because he's going to be careful of that, too.
[4:47] He was afraid I would get close to him.
[5:11] I was like, oh good God.
[5:11] I was afraid.
[5:11] How far?
[5:12] But what is it?
[5:12] He said, sir, I'm not going to get off.
[5:13] Correct.
[5:13] He knows damn well that I'm going to get off.
[5:14] Absolutely.
[5:14] Absolutely.
[5:14] That's great, Al.
[5:15] We have to make 30 minutes.
[5:16] Right.
[5:23] Well, I tell you, I've been through this dangling strain today.
[5:32] Eight hours of listening and taking calls and calls.
[5:33] We don't have some.
[5:34] I mean, two through Peter's game.
[5:34] On the 23rd, I mean, two and one.
[5:35] And David, we don't have.
[5:36] As far as the health, they are ending up in the health.
[5:37] But I tell you, there's nothing in there.
[5:38] Nothing in these calls.
[5:40] It could have been the 23rd, perhaps, after we talked about the 21st, but after that I was investigating.
[6:04] That's right.
[6:04] But by then, we'd already gone through it.
[6:05] Yeah.
[6:05] Bizarre, too.
[6:06] So, he felt better.
[6:06] All right.
[6:06] All right.
[6:07] Isn't that great?
[6:15] I know we can play it.
[6:18] Okay, we got Richardson confirmed, so we set Pearson good.
[6:24] Okay, bye.
[6:24] See you tomorrow.
