- 7:26it's
- 7:26just
- 7:27having
- 7:27time,
- 7:28you
- 7:28know,
- 7:28like
- 7:28trying
- 7:29to
- 7:29set
- 7:29away
- 7:29time
- 7:29to
- 7:30record
- 7:30the
- 7:30episodes.
- 7:32I
- 7:32feel

- 7:33though
- 7:34we're
- 7:34in
- 7:34like
- 7:35company,
- 7:35we've
- 7:35gotten
- 7:36a
- 7:36good
- 7:36rhythm
- 7:36like
- 7:36it.
- 7:37We
- 7:37learned
- 7:37a
- 7:38lot
- 7:38over
- 7:38the
- 7:38years,
- 7:38like,
- 7:38I
- 7:38was
- 7:39hiring
- 7:39someone
- 7:39to
- 7:40edit
- 7:40it,
- 7:41and
- 7:41now
- 7:42we
- 7:42actually
- 7:43edit
- 7:43them
- 7:43in
- 7:43house,
- 7:44you

- 7:44And
- 7:45so
- 7:45there's
- 7:46lots
- 7:46of

- 7:46things
- 7:47we've
- 7:47learned
- 7:47over
- 7:47the
- 7:47years.
- 7:48But
