[00:40:54] S1: It's 2035. Okay? Final one. Where is McCaw then? Paint that picture for me of how big you are, how many people you've placed. Where is McCaw? [00:41:06] S0: I have to work backwards a little bit. Right? So how many job seekers are there? You know, roughly put it in couple billions. How many jobs do... Does each person take on? Right? People change their roles. You know, maybe we factor out all the jobs Merkor creates for AI agents and, like, roughly focus on just the jobs for people, create couple dozen jobs for each person. Merkor has created 100,000,000,000 jobs and, has built the the unified, labor marketplace, meaning that anytime a company wants to hire a person for a specific job or task, they do it through Merkor. And anytime a candidate wants to consider a company for a specific job or task, they do it through Merkor. And Merkor is able to solve the matching problem across every role, across every company in a seamless way. [00:41:54] S1: Would you love for McCall to be a public company? [00:41:57] S0: One day. [00:41:58] S1: Listen, Adash, I've pappered you with questions. Thank you so much for putting up with my very wayward approach to a schedule, but you've been fantastic. So thank you, man. [00:42:07] S0: Thank you for having me. It was really fun.
