(00:00:19) "We've been together now for eons." - Connie Kudder

(00:11:15) "But to invite somebody onto our podcast as a guest and talk about what's great about their family business, what they love about their family relationships in the business is what they want to talk about. It's what we want to help them get to more of." - John Kuder

(00:19:14) "The only reason that these are great is the Mac. For instance, if you have more than two mics, you've got to make an aggregated device and make it an aggregated device with two USB mics. That's what killed our show in the beginning, like, made it horrible. Because over time, if you don't put the mics a certain way and set the patterns a certain way, they'll catch each other." - Jr Sparrow

(00:20:38) "That's one thing that got me about AI. I was like, you're able to create all this stuff. We need something to distraction edit for us." - Jr Sparrow

(00:27:47) "If someone is pursuing podcasts to be on them, they should have a microphone." - Jr Sparrow

(00:37:20) "Sometimes when you invest in yourself, that was a mistake. I didn't do. I didn't invest in myself early. I had really, really cheap equipment. I got my USB mics. I went to one of these bargain bin places. We bought four USB mics and we'll carry them around, hook them into that. With the long thing like that and four USB mics, everybody would be talking. They would get caught in different mics and all." - Jr Sparrow

(00:41:13) "We talk back and forth about that on our YouTube channel." - John Kuder
