[00:00:00] Speaker 1: And we're back. Thanks for tuning in. Every year thousands of customer voices go unheard. Tickets go unanswered. I'm excited to share with you the first ever annual Customer Obsession Telethon Hackathon. Chew the lights. Picture a PBS telethon like the kind they do after a natural disaster or after the government takes away all of their money. But the donations are bug fixes and features suggested by our very own customers. Over two days we'll bring in a mix of pre-prepared and real-time customer feedback with a few live customer moments sprinkled in. Oh, and we'll be live-streaming the whole thing. We'll feature our customers, we'll feature teams, and of course we'll feature me accompanied by piano. Okay, probably just a baby on that one. Look, this is honestly gonna be a little bit of controlled chaos and a ton of fun. So get excited. The phones are about to start ringing. Hello? No, sorry, wrong number.
