Some<00:00:49.960><c> of</c><00:00:50.159><c> you</c><00:00:50.359><c> might</c><00:00:50.619><c> be</c><00:00:51.100><c> wondering</c><00:00:51.560><c> whether</c><00:00:51.920><c> the</c><00:00:52.159><c> plastic</c><00:00:52.560><c> surgeon</c><00:00:53.020><c> went</c><00:00:53.500><c> a</c>

reworked<00:00:56.960><c> Brother</c><00:00:57.280><c> Troy</c><00:00:57.439><c> completely.</c>

00:01:00.380 --> 00:01:03.219
But<00:01:00.939><c> actually,</c><00:01:01.520><c> Brother</c><00:01:01.780><c> Troy</c><00:01:01.979><c> is</c><00:01:02.159><c> doing</c><00:01:02.359><c> quite</c><00:01:02.719><c> well.</c>

00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:06.799
He<00:01:03.939><c> would</c><00:01:04.299><c> have</c><00:01:04.480><c> been</c><00:01:04.620><c> here</c><00:01:05.340><c> had</c><00:01:05.700><c> it</c><00:01:05.879><c> not</c><00:01:06.060><c> been</c><00:01:06.340><c> for</c><00:01:06.519><c> his</c>

00:01:07.939 --> 00:01:10.400
I<00:01:08.000><c> guess</c><00:01:08.219><c> he</c><00:01:08.379><c> missed</c><00:01:08.500><c> so</c><00:01:08.739><c> much</c><00:01:09.000><c> time</c><00:01:09.280><c> due</c><00:01:09.519><c> to</c><00:01:09.659><c> his</c><00:01:09.879><c> accident</c>

00:01:13.659 --> 00:01:16.819

00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:39.500
Our<00:01:35.480><c> consideration</c><00:01:36.000><c> is</c><00:01:36.459><c> going</c><00:01:36.680><c> to</c><00:01:36.900><c> be</c><00:01:37.099><c> David</c><00:01:37.400><c> and</c><00:01:37.560><c> his</c><00:01:37.840><c> associates,</c><00:01:39.159><c> and</c>

00:01:39.500 --> 00:01:41.400
we've<00:01:40.579><c> put</c><00:01:40.760><c> this</c><00:01:41.060><c> overhead</c>

00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:42.000
up<00:01:41.700><c> here.</c>

00:01:42.019 --> 00:01:44.659
Some<00:01:42.239><c> have</c><00:01:42.480><c> suggested</c><00:01:42.920><c> it</c><00:01:43.459><c> is</c><00:01:43.700><c> reminiscent</c><00:01:44.120><c> of</c><00:01:44.280><c> the</c><00:01:44.400><c> Bible</c>

00:01:46.060 --> 00:01:53.920

00:01:58.659 --> 00:02:04.540
