The recording cut off as my ears burned. "I was drunk, and very… Busy. You can tell me if there's a technical issue, Andy. Just don't do it if I'm in my room with Chess, or if I'm sloshed, right? And… Especially not if both are true." "Understood. I will account for this in the future. Would you like to hear the latest reports?"
