[0:28] I'm going to return it to you. [0:41] And we have the point that there's a possibility. [0:50] Well, it's necessary. [0:51] What is it? [0:52] Right. [0:52] Let's have it. [0:53] Right. [0:53] That makes it definite. [0:56] Now, so that you can start getting to the end. [1:13] That road's a long path if we mess around here. [1:43] In other words, it's going to be too big. [1:50] It's going to be too little. [1:52] It's not going to be enough. [2:17] I wouldn't go down quite a step. [2:18] I didn't think I would go. [2:37] It's kind of hard to figure out. [2:44] Hey, that's the rollout. [2:47] Nice, so it includes garnets, right? [2:54] Yes. [3:20] a real problem where you draw the line down and don't go [4:03] I'd like to get that, that, uh... After Rose is checked back, I'm sure they don't have it scheduled on that 21st. [4:34] and they know they're gonna hold the day, you see? [4:40] At the very fact that it's in motion, you know, you get a sign that you aren't doing anything. [4:43] You see what I mean? [4:44] Yeah. [4:44] I'd like to call some people. [4:46] It's possible some of the issues aren't going to be the same. [4:59] You know, it's very late. [5:07] Yeah. [5:07] We should be made money by all means. [5:23] It'll be good to get that when CBS came out and waited the second thing. [5:31] It was a hurry. [5:38] I may get the death watch pressed together as I did last year. [5:52] I mean, those don't want to be wrong. [5:59] I just don't mind if I do it. [6:01] I'm just here to spur them on. [6:09] Did you do that New Year's Eve last year? [6:11] Yeah. [6:18] I remember about New Year's Eve. [6:19] I think I did it, uh, Christmas. [6:27] Well, I remember it was in the end of everybody was gone. [6:32] Man, that guy. [6:36] Well, anyway, we'll figure it out. [6:38] Thanks for your good time. [7:36] Get him out of the meeting. [7:41] No, get him out. [7:44] He's over there. [7:45] He's over there. [7:48] He's over there. [7:51] He's over there. [7:52] He's over there.
