55:59but not when, you know, it's a situation wherein you have to move fast. Okay. Let's go to the next question. This one's coming in from Brett Weigelar in Western Australia. Have any of the Vibe coders been using Raya to explore firmware? It made an NDI-HX codec for OBS and created an audio-video sync for my Rodecaster Video S that can monitor and audio adjust and a few other things.

56:30Curious what others have built. Jeff? I'm a big fan of coding things that weren't meant to be, and I waited if anyone else had a direct answer to that one. But this is pretty cool. If anyone saw this going around, someone said, I don't like the interface for my YouTube TV that's on all these Xiaomi and others. And so he just sat down

56:58and figured out a way to replace it, or an Android TV, I should say, and released it out to GitHub. And I've seen lots of people now doing videos about it. And this is a quick demo of what looks like he intentionally made it look very similar, but very clean, got rid of ads and all that kind of stuff. So pretty cool what you can do with devices

57:18that you wouldn't think you can change. And let's go to the last question. Last question is coming in from Paul Valhus in Austin, Texas. What's a usable wireless battery-powered self-contained microphone with noise cancellation recording built in? Mickey, make it brief. What is it? yeah um i i'm gonna assume that by usable you mean like decent enough quality to uh put out there
