0:00.0	Welcome everyone to another regularly scheduled rerun for our rerun. Today, I'm taking the opportunity
0:05.3	to pull an episode full of positive commentaries as they are relatively few and far between these days
0:12.0	and speaking of not particularly positive commentaries. Right now, members are joining Amanda and I
0:18.1	in some cathartic yet hopefully productive complaining from our latest bonus episode. It's the kind
0:24.6	of complaining that feels good but also at least tries to peel back some of the layers of our society
0:31.3	to understand why it is the way it is. And I'll let you in on a little bit. Our general conclusion
