0:00.0	It began long ago, two young boys in an American town riding their bikes to school and Little League practice.
0:09.0	Over the years, the boys became fast friends, united in their love for stories where things would go horribly wrong.
0:18.0	Pour yourself a strong beverage and buckle up. You're in the shallow end with
0:23.6	Schnebly and Toff. So, J.G., I was listening to my very favorite podcast, which is called The Box
0:29.6	of Oddities. You should check it out. Sounds stupid. It's a stupid title. And the hosts are total
0:35.3	jerks. But anyway, they are moving to Ecuador.

I'm not entirely comfortable with the two of you moving. I like knowing that you're in the same country as I am at all times. Yeah, yeah. But I think there are people who feel like, no, no, no, no.

2:02.1	I've decided this displeases me.
2:04.4	Yeah.
