[00:00:03]Uh any any tweets uh carrying you regret?

[00:00:07]Any tweets I regret?

[00:00:09]Or is it like that well how's the French song go? Regret nothing. Je ne regrette rien. Yes, that's very important for me, right?

[00:00:16]Don't regret anything. No, it's because regrets are attacks on your mind, right?

[00:00:22]So, learn from your mistakes, but don't regret.

[00:00:25]Because you've done it. So, except if you have a time machine to go back in time.

[00:00:32]Don't regret, right? It's going to just tax your brain. Learn from your mistake, sure. Don't regret.

[00:00:37]>> [snorts] >> It's like it reminds me it's beautiful to tax in your brain. Reminds me of the Johnny Depp quote I saw where he was saying hate, you know, I don't hate. That's hate is a very expensive emotion.

[00:00:50]>> [laughter] >> Are you comparing me to Johnny Depp?

[00:00:52]Because that would be your first one.

[00:00:54]Well, gentlemen, like I said, I'm internally grateful for the the software that the two of you and the bigger community have been part of building with FFmpeg and VLC and everything else.

[00:01:07]I'm eternally grateful for the spicy tweets. Never stop. And I'm grateful that you would talk with me today and give me this sexy hat.

[00:01:19]I feel like a wizard. I feel special.

[00:01:22]Um and I feel special to get a chance to talk and celebrate the piece of software that brought me so much joy over the years. So, thank you for everything and thank you for talking to me today.

[00:01:30]Thank you for having me. Thank you so much.
