Speaker 4: NDA to say that I wasn't a guy. So I

41
00:02:06,093 --> 00:02:09,413
Speaker 4: guess I guess maybe perhaps maybe got a reputation for

42
00:02:10,053 --> 00:02:12,533

45
00:02:19,573 --> 00:02:22,813
Speaker 4: sort of funny as well. So I went for the job,

46
00:02:22,893 --> 00:02:24,533
Speaker 4: the job and the job, and this is a contract.

47
00:02:24,532 --> 00:02:26,453

Speaker 4: hoping to get the gig. So I go in there

56
00:02:51,573 --> 00:02:53,133
Speaker 4: and they give me the script that I go and

57
00:02:53,133 --> 00:02:55,213

60
00:03:10,252 --> 00:03:13,133
Speaker 4: a good couple of minutes, which was an eternity trying

61
00:03:13,133 --> 00:03:15,213
Speaker 4: to figure out whether I had this. I said, I

62
00:03:15,293 --> 00:03:17,132
Speaker 4: think I'm not going to get this, and I don't

63
00:03:17,213 --> 00:03:18,972
Speaker 4: like it, said, I'm trying to figure out what I

64
00:03:19,013 --> 00:03:21,252
Speaker 4: did wrong. And then they go there are here. Then

65
00:03:21,293 --> 00:03:24,572
Speaker 4: they go through the intercom and they go, Mike, you

66
00:03:24,613 --> 00:03:27,013
Speaker 4: can hear me in there? We go yep, And so

67
00:03:27,093 --> 00:03:29,893
