[33:55]: &ldquo;What makes Trino powerful is the ecosystem around it. You have integrations with all sorts of data sources and that&rsquo;s part of the power and magic of Trino. You can pull data from all these data sources using a single interface. On the other end is the integrations with all the tools that everyone uses. Once you put all those pieces together, that&rsquo;s what gives Trino the power.&rdquo;
