Speaker 7: hour plus of commercials and more trailers and more commercials,

97
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 7: and to me, it's very, very intrusive, and we started

98
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 7: to realize that the customers are showing up later and

99
00:04:58,960 --> 00:04:59,919
