[5:27:05] I'm serious about this.
[5:27:05] Do you order your class with flash files?
[5:27:14] What do you have a lanty cloth in your pocket on your phone?
[5:27:16] I know that.
[5:27:17] It's going to be over there.
[5:27:19] Where does it go?
[5:27:21] It's not that old.
[5:27:23] Honeycage.
[5:27:24] What honeycage is it?
[5:27:25] I don't know that.
[5:27:27] Yeah.
[5:27:27] It'll be 90 years old.
[5:27:29] Well, it has.
[5:27:30] Can I send that to you?
[5:27:31] It was a coat here somewhere.
[5:27:33] It's about honeycage length.
[5:27:37] One second.
[5:27:37] May I have that, sir?
[5:27:39] Sure.
[5:27:39] I want to present you with a solid gold anti-hunting case watch.
[5:27:43] And it will be meant perfect.
[5:27:45] Sometime you can buy these watches.
[5:27:47] They're all 80 years.
[5:27:48] Original price tag.
[5:27:49] Solid gold hunting case.
[5:27:51] And it'll come with a chain.
[5:27:53] This stuff I'm giving to you is in solid gold.
[5:27:55] That's a trouble.
[5:27:56] Well, we're going to be in gold a few years if we don't stop just giving our wealth away in the place of getting custom gold plates.
[5:28:03] Let me see.
[5:28:05] He's just telling Joe, I'm trying to get you something here that I can find.
[5:28:08] I can find it.
[5:28:10] I can get it.
[5:28:12] I have it on my schedule.
[5:28:14] This may be a different person.
[5:28:18] I can't do it on that day.
[5:28:25] I'll do another one for you.
[5:28:27] Now, this is my wife and son in Beijing.
[5:28:32] You can get it better.
[5:28:36] It's in Chinatown, but not in the present.
[5:28:42] All right, all right, all right.
[5:29:03] He said now that tomorrow would probably be a better time than today.
[5:29:09] Any time.
[5:29:10] If he wants, he can come down.
[5:29:16] I agree now that Steve just said he didn't think he wanted to talk about it.
[5:29:25] If he thought it would all just drop down, I don't think he would.
[5:29:44] and nothing more important than this to do with the point.
[5:29:48] Second point, are there any, is Ray,
[5:30:12] Well, we'll uh, I'll uh, you think the best use of my time this evening would be to look at his draft agenda.
[5:30:26] The substance thing is, I just got a lot of new phones, so uh, but there's not anything to say to me.
[5:30:32] But the rhetoric, I suppose I ought to...
