[0:58] Well, I have to go. [0:58] He's a good man. [0:58] He's a good man. [0:59] He's a good man. [0:59] He's a good man. [0:59] He's a good man. [1:03] here in the staff, when we have a policy, put it on the agency, and Darryl House is a spot. [1:13] He survived another vote, you know, with Albert, and he told me the right to remove this. [1:19] He tried that. [1:26] I said, well, Carl, I said, I don't know. [1:35] I told him I was very strong. [1:36] He made a speech. [1:36] It was unusual for him. [1:36] First time crowd. [1:38] What about that time? [1:40] He did say, what did he do? [1:40] It was termination. [1:41] Yeah, I said it was wrong, and he lost the term. [1:42] Well, he told me that. [1:43] I said, sure, so he could listen. [1:44] But on the other hand, he thought we were going to lose the vote. [1:47] He said he talked to Jerry. [1:47] He said, no, no. [1:49] What's his, uh, is he in a tendency to eat? [1:58] He loves meat, doesn't he? [1:59] Well, he's weak. [1:59] You know, he's a weak, weak man, I think. [2:03] Yeah, of course, he's sick with what he can't eat. [2:05] He had a flu. [2:05] Or something. [2:05] Uh, there are others now on that bill, really. [2:07] Right. [2:07] Who's right? [2:11] and Margaret, we've got a big conference, but they've got to take something back to the floor, they say. [2:31] And so, I'll put in a wish, that's all. [2:32] Write a wish, but get that word of policy out there, and we've got something drafted with that, I guess it's a reiterator on it, and we think they'll find that, whether it be about a study or about a weather coach, yeah. [2:38] You've got these coops that are going to pull the buster down fairly when the comments report for the exploration. [2:46] Good luck with that. [2:47] Have a fine job. [2:47] Thank you. [2:47] Great job.
