Our producer is Codi Fischer, our sound engineer is Sam Kieffer. ANGELA [00:20:23] I was so excited to have TiVo. It's been a pleasure working with some of you, and I will not forget those of you soon. I just need everyone to clock a little bit of my Angela Martin look. But, yeah, I mean, the other thing, too, you should know is that Rainn really didn't want to miss work because he knew how much went into that day.
