Notable Excerpts
Note: The Granola transcript for this call contains significant ambient audio noise (radio ads, TV show dialogue) mixed in after the brief core conversation. Only the first section reflects the actual call.
“We just need to have people on this now.”
“Whether it’s four or seven, I don’t really care. Whoever picks it up - they need to do it tonight. If they’re waiting till tomorrow, it’s useless.”
