[1:40:51] Very well.
[1:40:51] How are you doing today?
[1:41:23] Oh, yeah.
[1:41:51] Don't get lost.
[1:41:51] Don't give a bunch of politicians whatever comes their way.
[1:41:53] Put their armor on you like that.
[1:42:16] Listen, they aren't going to like this in Baltimore.
[1:42:17] No, I know they're not.

[1:43:31] It has a seal.
[1:43:31] It has a seal in there.
[1:43:32] And the golf ball has a signature on it.
[1:43:57] And I just, I always tell my ex-brother to be on his side with it.
[1:44:01] Well, I'll give each of you one of those, if you like.
[1:44:02] And for the lady, well, she's no problem.
[1:44:03] She just blows off for you.
[1:44:04] Thank you very much.
[1:44:05] All right.
[1:44:05] I said that to the president.
[1:44:06] She said that to Bob.
[1:44:07] That's it.
[1:44:07] All right.
[1:44:29] Well, yeah, I'm glad to meet you, and I'm waiting for the best.
[1:44:31] I'm hoping that this will work.
[1:44:31] I don't know when I get to the World Series, and I'm going to be driving someplace.
[1:44:33] But in any event, I'll see you on TV.
[1:44:34] I'm not supposed to say you're in the World Series yet, but that's really good.
[1:44:35] It's all mine.
[1:44:35] I'll be quite serious through the month.
[1:44:36] It's all mine.
