00:00Look this is just the start. I'm really really happy to have have done this but

00:05it's honestly the first box checked off so long journey ahead. I know it's all

00:13about where you finish not where you start so I'm just gonna keep

00:15working and keep developing here so my main focus is on Philadelphia and our

00:35I mean I only have respect for him because he held the record for however
