[mathew_passy]: plus two is going to equal four

no matter which one of these accountants is

 

325

00:09:09,567 --> 00:09:11,910

[mathew_passy]: going to go out there and do

a show like

 

326

00:09:11,889 --> 00:09:11,910

[john_nichols]: m

 

327

00:09:11,950 --> 00:09:14,784

466

00:12:44,764 --> 00:12:45,126

[john_nichols]: about

 

467

00:12:45,481 --> 00:12:45,743

[mathew_passy]: oh

 

468

00:12:46,380 --> 00:12:50,749

[john_nichols]: themselves and the thing is is that

you know for me this is this is

 

469

00:12:50,829 --> 00:12:55,098

[john_nichols]: probably a better relationship builder than going

to a network

 

470

00:12:54,901 --> 00:12:55,268

[mathew_passy]: oh

 

471

00:12:55,198 --> 00:12:58,303

[john_nichols]: because

 

474

00:12:59,901 --> 00:13:00,305

599

00:16:35,621 --> 00:16:39,107

[mathew_passy]: easy for a show to grow for

example a couple of things he told me
