James Matthews· Host0:46
[laughing] [laughing] Yeah, but, uh, to be fair, the Americans, uh, they've got a collection of their own that we do not use. I came into work today, and the security guard at the front door, she said to me, "Good morning. I'm so happy that you're here." [laughing] Which is like an upgrade on, "Have a nice day."
