00:34:14 ◼ ► and I think I may have to because of the way I think subscribers. [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMWYjq7k/2054">TS</a>]
00:34:18 ◼ ► Those numbers mean less now than they used to so I think that estimate may be a little bit over optimistic [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMWYjq7k/2058">TS</a>]
00:34:24 ◼ ► but still I think a very successful video for me is more views than subscribers in seven days [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMWYjq7k/2064">TS</a>]

01:56:30 ◼ ► Actually I wonder should we tell people what the movie is so it can be like a homework assignment [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMWYjq7k/6990">TS</a>]
01:56:37 ◼ ► and that's a good idea so we could we could do that. [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMWYjq7k/6997">TS</a>]
