05:46Stay with us.
05:50Robin Richardson is a city planner from Memphis who has performed at Carnegie Hall, right?
05:54Yes, that's right.
05:55What was the story?
05:56So I used to perform as part of the Rhodes College Master Singers, which is a community
06:02choir full of college alumni as well as people who just like to sing, and we were invited
06:08to participate in a choir festival hosted at Carnegie Hall.

06:14Jamie Ding is a bureaucrat and law student from Lawrenceville, New Jersey.

06:21General Tso's Chicken.
06:22Is this the official General Tso's Chicken account?
06:24Not yet.
06:27But yeah, so when you're like seven years old, General Tso's Chicken really stands out
06:31to you on a menu.
06:32So we've been ordering it for years, and eventually we started ordering it at every Chinese restaurant
06:38we went to just to see what it was like, and it became our measuring stick for the quality
06:42of a Chinese restaurant.
06:43That's great.
06:44So I came up with the name Attorney General Tso's, but it's mostly my sister who runs
06:50it.
06:50Since the General's not with us anymore, I'm glad you guys are here to run his account.
06:53Well done.
06:54Thanks for being here, Jamie.

06:59Tell me about your album.
07:00Yes.
07:01I released an album my second year of college, mostly of original music.
07:06Congratulations.
07:07I did get kicked out of a grocery store in the process.
07:11Um, it has errand in the title, so I wanted to take it in front of some groceries, and
07:16apparently you can't photograph an album cover in a grocery store.
07:20Is that why you got into the grocery industry, to enforce important rules like that, I guess?
07:24Yes, yes.
07:25Jamie, it's your board.
07:26Pick a category and a dollar amount for us.
