0:42
about a product called
0:44
single premium immediate annuity in the
0:47
industry it's called aspia spia which
0:49
stands for single premium immediate
0:51
annuity
0:52
it's also called an income annuity a
0:53
pension annuity an immediate annuity
0:56
but at the end of the day this is the
0:58
granddaddy
0:59
of all annuity types this this was the
1:02
one that started it all
1:03
and we'll kind of get into the history
1:04
of it etc now
1:06
what i'm going to do is the outline of
1:08
this podcast really comes from the book
1:11
that i've written one of the
1:12
seven books on annuities that i
1:13
published and you can buy on amazon or
1:15
get it from me either one you want
1:17
and the book's called spea owner's
1:18
manual so it's a single premium
1:20
immediate annuity owner's manual
1:21
i'm actually holding it in my hand you
1:23
might hear the pages flip because i want
1:24
to make sure i'm covering
1:26
everything because when i wrote the book
1:28
it was all-encompassing it's 45 pages
1:30
long
1:31
it's very easy to read and before you
1:32
buy anything
1:34

1:49
already covered it and what we're going
1:51
to do is just cover it in an audio
1:52
version
1:53
today but you're going to hear me flip
1:55
pages because i'm holding it in my hand
1:56
because i spent a lot of time to
1:58
concisely put it together
2:00
so let's kind of get started you know
2:02
this was the only
2:03
type of annuity that was sold in the
2:06
united states until about 1955
2:08
so it's been around for a long long time
2:10
the history of the product is
2:12
is fascinating single premium immediate
2:14
annuities in the word annuity comes from
2:16
the word
2:17
annual a nua it's a latin word for
2:19
payment
2:21
and in the roman times the roman empire
2:24
created these payments these lifetime
2:26
income guarantees for the
2:28
dutiful roman soldiers and their
2:29
families so i mean they were getting
2:31
immediate annuity payments if you look
2:33
at
2:34
social security it is an immediate
2:36
annuity payment it really is it's a
2:38
lifetime income stream that you can't
2:39
outlive and that's really what
2:41
an immediate annuity is but with all
2:44
products that
2:45
i show people and recommend or talk
2:48
about
2:49
we start with the benefits and the
2:50
limitations so let's do that
2:53
so first of all let's start with the
2:55
limitations
2:56
which is always where i like to start i
2:58
want people to know the truth about
3:00
these products
3:01
limitations on an immediate annuity is
3:04
that it really doesn't have a lot of
3:05
liquidity
3:06
in fact most of them have none there are
3:08
some out there that offer
3:09
liquidity but anytime an annuity company
3:11
offers anything
3:13
they're going to lower the guarantee so
3:15
you know you might have agency
3:16
well mine does well yeah but you'll get
3:18
a lower a lower payout always tell
3:21
people
3:22
if you need liquidity then you're
3:23
putting too much money into an immediate
3:25
annuity the immediate annuity
3:27
should be a product that is earmarked
3:30
for pension
3:30
and you can set it up for your life for
3:32
you and someone else's life or you and
3:33
your spouse's life
3:35
et cetera we'll go through you know how
3:36
to structure it all the choices that you
3:39
have
3:39
but the one that kills me out there is
3:41
people say i hate annuities you really
3:42
hate pensions because this is what a
3:44
pension is it's an immediate annuity
3:47
structure so
3:48
there's not a lot of liquidity there's
3:49
no market attachment so there's no
3:51
upside opportunity
3:52
so if you want an investment don't buy
3:54
immediate annuity the contract is rigid
3:56
so you know it is what it is you're
3:59
going to get your money back
4:01
if you outlive your life expectancy you
4:03
can you can structure so that 100 of
4:05
your money
4:06
goes to the beneficiaries one of the big
4:08
things out there people say i don't want
4:09
to buy an immediate annuity because when
4:10
i die
4:11
the annuity company evil annuity company
4:13
keeps all the money well that's only one
4:14
way to structure the product
4:16
you can structure it so that you still
4:18
get a lifetime income but if your
4:19
learjet hits the mountain and you die
4:21
100 of the money goes to your listed
4:24
beneficiaries
4:25
in most cases with these immediate
4:26
annuities they're irrevocable meaning
4:28
that you can't call me up
4:30
four months later say hey stan send me
4:31
all the money back you're going to get
4:33
the money back but it's going to be in
4:34
payment form
4:35
and typically an immediate annuity the
4:38
payments are in a static form meaning
4:40
the payments are never going to change
4:41
now you can attach
4:43
what's called a cost of living
4:44
adjustment writer a cola cola
4:46
or cpiu consumer price index rider that
4:50
increases and that sounds great
4:51
but always remember that annuity
4:53
companies have the big buildings for a
4:54
reason they have the big planes and the
4:55
big logos on the plane for a reason they
4:57
don't give anything away so if you want
4:58
to attach
4:59
an annual increase to the income stream
5:01
it sounds fantastic
5:03
they're going to lower the payment so
5:05
you already own
5:06
the best inflation annuity on the planet
5:08
and that is called social security
5:11
because they raise it based on when they
5:13
want to get votes
5:14
annuity companies don't care they're
5:16
gonna they're gonna price it in
5:18
based on your life expectancy etc so so
5:21
those are the limitations
5:22
you know limited liquidity no market
5:24
upside rigid contract irrevocable
5:27
and static payments versus cola okay
5:30
the benefits it's a contractually
5:32
guaranteed income stream for life you
5:34
can never outlive it
5:35
if you set up joint life then your
5:36
spouse can never outlive it
5:38
you can customize how you structure it
5:40
meaning that
5:41
if you want to have the highest payout
5:43
that's life only meaning that when you
5:44
die money goes poof
5:46
but it does not have to be that way you
5:48
can also structure it so you have a
5:49
lifetime income
5:51
okay and if you die 100 of any unused
5:54
money goes to
5:55
the beneficiaries and the evil annuity
5:57
company doesn't keep a penny you also
5:58
construct it for a period certain
6:00
meaning
6:01
hey stan i just wanted to pay for 10
6:03
years okay we can do that or 15 or 20 or
6:05
25 or 22 or seven
6:07
just remember it's customizable to
6:09
exactly what you want to achieve
6:12
again it's a lifetime guarantee the
6:15
annuities
6:16
are the only product category that will
6:18
pay you for the rest of your life
6:20
and also too remember this you're going
6:22
to hear a lot of pitches out there
6:24
well my annuity you need to buy my
6:26
annuity and turn it on
6:27
immediately let me just tell you this
6:29
and remember this immediate annuities
6:32
99.9 of the time are going to have the
6:34
highest contractual guarantee payout
6:37
period because they're just structured
6:40
that way so if anyone's trying to fit a
6:41
square peg into a round hole and say
6:43
buy my index annuity with an income
6:45
rider and turn it on immediately
6:46
in most cases that's just a straight
6:48
commission play in most cases
6:50
so you know if you need income between
6:53
30 days and a year which is
6:55
is the definition of an immediate
6:57
annuity
6:58
the income can start as soon as 30 days
7:00
from the contract issue date or as
7:02
long as a year year 13 months et cetera
7:05
then an immediate news is going to
7:07
provide the highest contractual payout
7:09
as i said in the limitations you can
7:11
attach increases cpis and colas
7:14
but that's going to limit the payout
7:16
that's going to lower it okay
7:17
not limit but lower it compared to the
7:20
static form and in most cases
7:22
depending on the math it's it's a seven
7:24
and nine year breakeven point if you
7:25
compare the same exact annuity with a
7:27
cola
7:28
and compared to without a cold and in my
7:31
situation
7:31
most of the time when we have a
7:33
discussion
7:34
my clients decide to go ahead and take
7:36
the static payment just a time value
7:38
money calculation
7:39
so these can be set up joint with a
7:41
spouse that can be set up joint with
7:43
anybody really you just got to tell me
7:46
exactly what you want to do remember
7:47
they are customizable
7:49
and immediate annuities are efficient
7:51
they're transparent
7:52
in essence they're a transfer risk
7:54
strategy that is just unmatched you're
7:56
transferring the risk to the annuity
7:57
company to
7:58
pay you or pay you and your spouse or
8:00
you and someone else
8:01
for the rest of your lives regardless of
8:03
how long that is
8:04
so you're transferring the risk to pay
8:06
so people always say
8:08
you know what's the roi on immediate
8:10
annuity i don't know that until you die
8:13
so when you die i'll go to your funeral
8:14
i'll sing a very nice song
8:16
and i'll tell everybody the roi because
8:18
up until that point i don't know you're
8:20
transferring the risk
8:21
so don't don't look at immediate news as
8:23
investments and try to compare it to
8:26
whatever bonds whatever and there's a
8:27
lot of people out there saying immediate
8:28
annuities versus bonds that's
8:30
to me standing nudity man number one
8:32
agent in the country licensed in all 50
8:34
states
8:34
that's garbage annuities are contracts
8:37
so you have to look at it as a contract
8:40
one of the other things i like one of
8:41
the limit of the benefits is
8:43
they're easy to understand and there's
8:45
really no market attachments to them so
8:47
those are the
8:48
the limitations the benefits of the
8:50
product
8:51
so in my opinion and we talked about the
8:54
history of these
8:56
and they've been around for a long long
8:57
time there's nothing new here so when
9:00
people say i hate annuities really do
9:01
you hate do you hate pensions do you
9:03
hate
9:03
social security no you of course you
9:05
don't which means you don't hate
9:07
immediate annuities
9:08
now where where financial journalists
9:11
get caught up and some of the
9:12
some of the people that are against them
9:15
for their own agendas
9:17
it's all about opportunity costs when
9:18
you when you put your money into an
9:20
immediate annuity you're giving
9:22
up some opportunity and market
9:23
opportunity you have to be fine with
9:24
that but that also leads to
9:27
me and you having a conversation about
9:29
allocation in proportion
9:31
and that's you know that's a big deal
9:33
immediate annuities primarily solve for
9:35
longevity risk and what that means is
9:36
outliving your money it's a very
9:38
fancy way the journalists like to talk
9:39
about outliving your money
9:41
so you know remember it's will do not
9:44
mind do you buy an annuity for what will
9:45
do not what it might do and the will do
9:47
for an immediate annuity is the
9:48
contractual guarantee
9:50
and when you get that policy and you
9:52
look at that number
9:54
this is what i'm gonna get paid a month
9:55
or if you decide to get it quarterly or
9:57
semi-annual or annually you can do any
9:59
remember it's customizable
10:01
that number's not going to change unless
10:04
you attach a colon we talked about that
10:06
that's just going to lower the payment
10:08
so nuts and bolts like how's that how's
10:10
the sausage made with
10:12
with an immediate annuity bottom line is
10:14
an immediate annuity payment is a
10:16
combination
10:17
of return or principle plus interest yes
10:20
i said that return of principal
10:22
plus interest so there's a lot of people
10:24
out there trying to sell these things
10:26
and they'll attach a percentage
10:28
you're going to get a seven percent
10:29
payout on an immediate annuity i think
10:31
that's misleading because
10:32
people instinctively attach that to a
10:35
bond payout or cd payout or fixed rate
10:38
annuity payout no
10:39
the seven percent is a combination of
10:41
return on principal plus interest so i
10:43
think that's very very misleading
10:45
especially in the low interest rate
10:46
environment where people are
10:48
are yearning for something higher right
10:51
so when you see that well
10:52
say i'm getting paid out seven percent
10:55
on this immediate annuity
10:57
that's really a reflection of your life
10:59
expectancy because at the end of the day
11:02
the primary pricing mechanism on
11:04
immediate annuities is your life
11:05
expectancy
11:06
not interest rates interest rates play a
11:08
secondary role but they don't drive the
11:10
train
11:11
they're not the primary train driver so
11:13
people say i'm trying to time interest
11:14
rates well you're an idiot
11:16
no you're not actually you're a nice
11:17
person but you're you're misled
11:20
because in the world that we live in
11:21
from financial journalism financial tv
11:24
you know they're always talking about
11:25
interest rates but with annuities and
11:26
lifetime income stream it's about your
11:28
life expectancy when the payment starts
11:31
and that's how
11:32
the annuity companies base the payment
11:34
so
11:35
people always say well stan if i wait
11:37
two more years
11:38
to get my immediate annuity will the
11:40
payments be hired yes because you're
11:41
going to be older and your life
11:43
expectancy is going to be less which
11:44
means they're
11:45
predicting less payments it's really
11:47
that simple now
11:49
with interest rates and we talk about
11:51
that what's the bogey what do you need
11:52
to watch it's really the 10-year
11:54
treasury
11:55
but the 10-year treasury united states
11:57
senior treasury
11:58
percentage that note really needs to
12:01
significantly move
12:03
to move the needle it's really about
12:05
life expectancy
12:06
what you really need to watch out for is
12:09
annuity companies
12:10
moving the life expectancy tables
12:12
meaning
12:13
predicting you're going to live longer
12:14
if they do that there's going to be more
12:15
payments which means that
12:17
the payments will be less so it's really
12:20
a true commodity product there's
12:23
you know fifty hundred i don't know i
12:25
represent a mom we quote
12:26
an immediate annuity we quote everybody
12:28
on the planet i have no idea who's gonna
12:30
finish first i have no idea
12:32
anything all i know is the quote only
12:34
lasts seven to ten days like a gallon of
12:36
milk and then we have to re-quote it
12:37
unless you lock it in and start the
12:38
paperwork
12:39
but single premium immediate annuities
12:42
are commodity products you have you have
12:43
to
12:44
quote all carriers you know i have a
12:47
system
12:48
standingannuityman.com or the
12:50
annuityman.com that
12:52
helps filter all of that out we have we
12:55
have a system where i can punch in your
12:57
information
12:58
and then find out through all the
13:00
carriers across the country
13:01
the the top contractual guarantee now
13:04
from there
13:05
then we have a conversation about claims
13:06
paying ability ratings conduct scores
13:08
etc
13:09
but it's remember will do not might do
13:11
buy for the contractual guarantee so
13:13
buying an immediate annuity is similar
13:14
to buying a plane ticket okay
13:17
you punch in the number and let's see
13:18
who has the best contractual guarantee
13:22
don't try to time rates i mean that's
13:23
the biggest thing i can tell people
13:25
and i know there's people out there
13:26
going well you're just you're just
13:28
selling no i'm not
13:29
selling okay this is reality
13:32
you just can't time it and if you wait
13:35
let's just say
13:35
well stan i'm going to wait for a year
13:38
well
13:38
if you wait for a year then to buy the
13:40
immediate annuity
13:42
then you rationally have to factor in
13:44
the year's worth of payments that you
13:45
missed if you didn't buy it today that's
13:47
not a sales pitch
13:48
that's just reality and immediate
13:50
annuities and annuities in general
13:52
it's all about math what's the math does
13:54
the math
13:55
work for you and i tell people all the
13:57
time if you don't need income right now
13:58
don't buy an immediate annuity you can
14:00
always
14:00
keep your money in the market and at the
14:02
time you need income
14:04
then you you know you buy an immediate
14:06
annuity
14:07
so you can do this a couple ways you can
14:09
say hey stan you you know here's x
14:11
amount of money
14:12
here's a lump sum how much would that
14:13
pay or
14:15
in we'll quote that or you can reverse
14:16
engineer it you can say hey stan
14:18
my wife and i need two thousand five
14:20
hundred and seventy five dollars a month
14:22
to fill in an income gap as part of our
14:24
income floor
14:25
how much premium how much money would
14:27
take to create that so we can reverse
14:28
engineer the quote
14:30
either way so like i said before you can
14:33
customize it you can do life only
14:35
you can do life with a period certain
14:36
life only is you know when your legit
14:38
hits the mountain money goes poof life
14:40
with period certain is
14:41
it's going to pay you for life but if
14:44
you die
14:44
within that period certain then in other
14:46
words if it's life intent
14:48
it's going to pay you for life or goals
14:50
how long you live but if you die in year
14:51
two you get eight more years of payment
14:52
somebody in your family
14:54
or you can do what's called life with
14:56
installment refund or life with cash
14:57
refund which means
14:58
that they figure out the period certain
15:01
to the
15:02
to the day of your life expectancy so
15:04
it's still a lifetime income guarantee
15:06
but 100 of your money will go back to
15:09
the beneficiaries either in payment form
15:11
or lump sum payment forms installment
15:13
refund
15:14
a lump sum is cash refund i like to use
15:17
immediate annuities as income
15:18
gap fillers so you know as part of your
15:21
income floor
15:22
your pension your social security
15:23
whatever other income things you have
15:26
you know let's fill in that gap and you
15:29
can do that a myriad of ways you can you
15:30
can do that with reverse engineering you
15:32
can ladder
15:33
you can do all kinds of things you know
15:36
to fill in that income gap
15:38
so the other thing too from the
15:40
standpoint of predator and creditor
15:42
protection
15:43
you know annuities in general pass that
15:44
side of probate but in a lot of states
15:46
you know the the ambulance chasing
15:48
people that run into you with the car
15:49
and try to see
15:50
they can't get to it which is kind of
15:52
cool obviously don't buy it for that but
15:54
it's one of those
15:54
added benefits that you need to know
15:57
about
15:58
the immediate annuity has a cousin
16:00
product called a deferred income annuity
16:01
which we'll talk about in another
16:02
podcast
16:04
but it's the same structure the only
16:06
difference is once you defer past 13
16:08
months
16:09
once you defer for the income from
16:11
starting
16:12
13 months then it turns into a deferred
16:14
income annuity and not a meeting
16:16
it's in essence the same thing so one of
16:19
the other things i want to talk about
16:20
quickly is what's called the exclusion
16:23
ratio and i know i'm throwing a lot at
16:24
you and that's the reason you need
16:25
to to contact me and get the book
16:27
because then you can read it on your own
16:28
terms and then re-listen to the podcast
16:30
but in exclusion ratio when i talked
16:32
about getting your money back with
16:34
interest
16:35
you know return of principal plus
16:37
interest is the payout structure
16:39
in a non-ira setting and you can use an
16:41
immediate annuity inside of an ira or
16:43
outside of an ra
16:45
but in a non-ira setting you're not
16:47
going to pay taxes on the return of
16:48
principal
16:49
you'll pay taxes on the interest so part
16:51
of that
16:52
income stream is excluded ie exclusion
16:54
ratio from taxes
16:56
so that's also something you need to
16:59
remember
17:00
now with an exclusion ratio until you
17:02
run out of money in other words until
17:04
until the run out of money meaning your
17:06
account's at zero the the company's
17:08
still on the hook to pay you for the
17:09
rest of your life
17:10
up until your account goes to zero and
17:13
you're living forever
17:14
it's an exclusion ratio of return of
17:17
principle plus interest you're only
17:18
paying
17:18
taxes on the interest once it goes to
17:20
zero then all of that income stream is
17:22
taxable even though you're still getting
17:24
the lifetime income payment people
17:26
always say hey you know the count is
17:28
zero but i'm still getting a lifetime
17:29
income stream
17:30
absolutely that's the transfer risk
17:31
that's the benefit proposition i have
17:33
hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and
17:34
hundreds of clients
17:36
that have outlived their life expectancy
17:38
are still getting
17:39
that monthly income stream and you know
17:42
that
17:43
goes back to what's my roi i don't know
17:45
what the return on investment is until
17:47
you die
17:48
one thing that we use to look at the and
17:50
it's on it's on my site the
17:51
annuityman.com is you can pull up what's
17:53
called condex rankings which is
17:55
a compilation of the four primary rating
17:57
services which am best moody's standard
17:59
poor's and fitch you can look at those
18:01
ratings and then look at the conduct
18:03
score which is a compilation of those
18:04
four rating services
18:06
in an easy to understand one to a
18:08
hundred score
18:09
most of the people that are players most
18:11
of the carriers that are players
18:13
in the immediate annuity world
18:16
are big big companies the names that you
18:18
are
18:19
familiar with and i i certainly
18:21
represent you know all of those
18:24
let's see a couple more things i want to
18:25
cover and there's a lot right i mean
18:27
you're saying man you're killing me
18:29
staying with all this information that's
18:30
the reason you need the book and
18:32
you know my my blogs and all that stuff
18:34
will cover and
18:35
and we can also have these type of
18:36
conversations you can schedule call with
18:38
me and i can go over
18:39
everything with you but with any annuity
18:42
one of the best
18:42
things i think about the annuity
18:44
industry has done is what's called a
18:45
free look
18:46
provision i don't care what type you buy
18:50
you have the opportunity to get your
18:51
money back even after the policy
18:53
has been issued to you so understand
18:56
that that's that's a really good deal
18:57
you can test drive it get the policy
19:00
read the policy things might have
19:01
changed in your life you can get your
19:02
money back there's a
19:03
time frame that you can do that but
19:04
typically it's around 10 to 20 days
19:06
after you get depending on the state
19:09
10 to 20 days after you receive the
19:11
policy remember
19:12
fixed annuities are regularly at the
19:13
state level so every state has
19:15
there's a different rule but you have to
19:18
know that
19:19
also two if you're a youngster if uh
19:21
you're
19:22
less than 59 and a half years old you
19:25
can circumvent those irs penalties for
19:27
you know the 10 penalty getting your
19:29
money out through the rule of 72t
19:31
using an immediate annuity which is kind
19:34
of cool if you're young and you need
19:35
lifetime income stream we can structure
19:37
it so we can circumvent that
19:39
those are kind of the main points that i
19:42
wanted to go over
19:44
concerning immediate annuities you know
19:46
i do encourage you to
19:48
to contact me if you want to get a quote
19:50
you can go to my site and just punch in
19:52
there's a place there called get a quote
19:54
right at the annuityman.com
19:57
and you can get a quote you can get the
19:58
spea owners manuals etc
20:00
but let's let's close with a couple of
20:01
frequently asked questions just some of
20:03
the main ones
20:04
and i'm actually flipping through the
20:05
book which is uh the reason you need to
20:07
get it right
20:08
does the annuity come to keep the money
20:09
when i die with aspia
20:11
no you know remember we talked about
20:12
that you can structure so that
20:14
100 of the money goes to your
20:16
beneficiaries even though you're getting
20:18
a lifetime guarantee people always ask
20:20
me how does an immediate annuity company
20:21
make money
20:22
on annuities i mean you're giving them
20:24
their money they're giving it to you
20:25
back
20:26
in a either period certain or a lifetime
20:28
income stream based on your life
20:29
expectancy and they're holding on to the
20:30
money and they're making money off of
20:32
that
20:32
nothing risky they're handcuffed by
20:34
regulations they're not doing anything
20:35
crazy
20:36
but they can buy paper that we can't in
20:38
essence they they can do things
20:40
institutionally we cannot as individuals
20:42
out here
20:43
to make up for that money and the reason
20:45
that life insurance companies have the
20:46
big buildings is they know when we're
20:48
going to die
20:48
and property and casualty companies are
20:51
always coming and going is they don't
20:52
know when the hurricane's going to hit
20:53
right so is there a perfect age to buy
20:56
speed no
20:56
it's when you need income is when you
20:58
need to transfer risk
20:59
you might not ever need income i always
21:01
ask people call me i think i need an
21:03
immediate annuity and i say well do you
21:04
need income no well then you don't need
21:06
an immediate annuity how about that
21:08
remember the two questions what do i
21:09
want the money to contractually do this
21:11
is when you want to buy any type of
21:12
annuity ask these two questions
21:14
what i want the money to contractually
21:16
do and when do i want those contractual
21:18
guarantees to start from those two
21:20
answers
21:21
i can give you the type of annuity you
21:23
need so
21:24
if you answer that question hey stand on
21:26
your lifetime income stream to start i
21:28
don't know between now and a year
21:30
that's an immediate annuity right those
21:32
are those are the answers to the two
21:33
questions
21:33
remember you can use it inside of an ira
21:36
outside of an ira and you
21:37
even buy an immediate annuity inside of
21:39
a roth ira so what happens then
21:41
if you buy it inside of a roth ira then
21:44
100 of that
21:45
income stream is not taxable so you can
21:48
do that as well
21:49
people ask how's the media annuity
21:51
affect my required minimum distributions
21:53
let's just take an example if you have a
21:54
500 000 ira and you bought a hundred
21:56
thousand dollar immediate annuity
21:58
then the hundred thousand dollar
21:59
immediate annuity income stream would
22:01
cover the rmds for that hundred thousand
22:03
dollar immediate annuity
22:04
then you'd have to take rmds off the the
22:07
other four hundred thousand
22:08
if that makes sense so you can't use the
22:11
income
22:12
stream from the immediate annuity as
22:14
overage to apply to the non-annuity
22:16
assets
22:17
if that makes sense people say what's
22:20
the best of me to do
22:21
out there what company do you like going
22:22
back to it you buy an immediate annuity
22:24
like you buy a plane ticket you quote
22:26
all carriers
22:27
there's some great carriers out there
22:28
but that doesn't mean they finish first
22:30
all the time sometimes they do
22:32
and sometimes they don't so with that i
22:34
mean there's a lot more that i could go
22:36
into
22:37
but i think we've covered a lot it's
22:39
been a fire pose of information
