And you’re going to have to wait to hear what we have to say today.

Gini Dietrich 

But only for a couple of seconds. Yeah.

Chip Griffin 

I don’t know. I mean, I’m kind of busy, Jenny. So let me get back to you here. I got a few things over here.

Gini Dietrich 

Hey, I just noticed we match. I didn’t even notice that I’ve been talking to you for half an hour. And I didn’t even notice. We We are very well complimented in our color scheme today.

Chip Griffin 

Well, clearly your fashion consultant, talk to my fashion consultant. No, no. My fashion consultant is Amazon. What’s the cheapest shirt I can find? In a multitude of colors yet horrifies some of my clients that I have that level of fashions, I know you have

Gini Dietrich 

a client that does not appreciate that.

Chip Griffin

Gini Dietrich 

do red.

Chip Griffin 

See, but the red then makes me look a little too red. Plus, I got the bricks in the back. No, but nobody really cares about this. But we’ve done a successful job of illustrating. We have illustrated the point inadvertently, of making you wait, because that’s what we’re going to talk about today we’re going to talk about weightless because I know particularly right now, as a lot of agencies are growing quickly. I would say coming out of the pandemic, but

Gini Dietrich
