[01:38:02] S0: Let's do that. You'll have to figure it out. That's the challenge. [01:38:02] S1: You'll have to figure it out. Incredible. Simon, anything else you want to share, anything else you want to leave listeners with before we get out of here? [01:38:11] S0: Yes. I have a rare piece of excellent news about 2026. There is a rare parrot in New Zealand called the Kakapo Parrot. There are only 250 of these parrots left in the world. They are flightless nocturnal parrots. They're beautiful green, dumpy-looking things. And the good news is they're having a fantastic breeding season in 2026. Which is particularly good because the last time they had a good breeding season was four years ago. They only breed when the rimu trees in New Zealand have a mass fruiting season, and the rimu trees haven't done that since 2022. So there has not been a single baby Kakapo born in four years of this species of only 250. This year, the rimu trees are in fruit, the kakapo are breeding, there have been dozens of new chicks born, there are webcams where you can watch them sitting on their nets. It's a really, really good tie. It's great news for rare New Zealand parrots. And you should look them up because they're delightful. [01:39:06] S1: It's the best news of the podcast. That is incredible. I love the spectrum we've been on. I'm excited to look at a photo what these parrots look like. That sounds- [01:39:15] S0: You should splice the photo into the video. It's worthwhile that they're actually- [01:39:19] S1: I love it. Simon, you're awesome. Thank you so much for doing this.
