My reaction was on the nerve wracking side of that spectrum because it took one minute of useless chit chat to get to the point. It's NotebookLM always like that?

The voicing and delivery matches exactly to Natasha Legero and Moshe Kasher who have a podcast "Endless Honeymoon". Not sure how they feel about it but I'm sure a lot of their audience works at Google.
