Hello, everybody. Welcome to another episode of the Audit podcast. Mary Charles. I think you can just leave whatever comes out and this one in here. I don't even know if you need to do any editing. I will leave it to you. I think we've talked about Mary Charles once or twice where we actually let it happen in the show, but not very often. So for those that don't know, if you're wondering, hey, the show's not terrible. Why is that? Has nothing to do with me and everything to do with our fantastic editor, Mary Charles. She does the audio, she does all the video stuff. She does all the clips, the infographics, all that kind of good stuff. And so we realized, or I realized pretty early on, like, a few episodes in that we're gonna do some level of editing. And so I found Mary Charles and I said, hey, can you just teach me, like, these two, three things. How to cut something, you know, how to fade something, whatever it was. And then I'll. I can do all the editing. And that lasted about two episodes. It took me four hours to edit 45 minutes of audio. This is before we even did video. And so then I went back to Mary Charles and said, hey, can you just do this for us full time? Or at least do all the episodes for us? Become very reliant. I have and the guests on Mary Charles's editing skills to the point where I tell most guests, like, hey, there's. I talk to the editor multiple times during the episode. So I'll say, like, hey, Mary Charles, can you cut that? Or, hey, Mary Charles, let's talk about this thing later. Whatever the case is. And it's largely so that the guests know that they can say and do whatever they want. And ultimately we can edit anything out for them. So it's in largely so we can keep the conversation very conversational. Nobody sees, like, the blinking red dot that says record. And then they get a little tight. That's why I'm able to do these intro takes here for like eight minutes. And we cut them down to like, two because I'm not super prepared for them. And I just keep rambling on similar to what you're experiencing right now. So anyway, with all that said, like I said multiple times, it's me going, hey, Mary Charles. Hey, Mary Charles. Hey, Mary Charles. So we thought for this kind of end of year blooper ish episode would just be a bunch of me, me talking to Mary Charles. I feel like I've said mary charles about 20 times already. I have not heard this. I Have no idea what's about to happen. So you might hear it 20 more or 100 more times. I don't know. But with all that said, Mary Charles has been with us for. We're going on six years now. Absolutely could not do the show without her. So thank you again so much for everything that you do. And here we go. So maybe this is just gonna be the blooper reel. Like, it's just gonna be your episode.

Mary Charles, we're definitely gonna cut out this preamble here. The same. He asked this one question to everybody, and it was always, what's your favorite curse word? I talked to. So, Mary Charles. We can say hi to Mary Charles. She's the editor that makes all this actually work. I talked to her about this once, and I was like, what if we, like, hit the record button? And then the very first question, they have no idea it's coming, and we go, what's your favorite? Just for fun. One second. Mary Charles, cut all that st stuff out.
