| 0:00.0 | What's up everybody welcome back to another episode of the Lights Out podcast. I'm your host Josh. |
| 0:18.1 | Joining the studio is my full crew today. We've got my co-host Austin. What's up man? How's it going? |
| 0:23.5 | I'm good. I'm good. And then we got behind the scenes producer Daniel. How's it going man? |
| 0:29.0 | What's up everybody? Daniel's been very very sick for the last couple weeks so he was actually not here with us on our last episode. |
| 0:36.6 | And then I'm kind of sick today just as sickness has been going around. And not only that like I'm sure you guys have noticed, |
| 0:42.3 | especially those that watch the show that our lighting's been all over the place our audio was kind of off last week. |
| 0:47.7 | It has been a major undertaking to try and upgrade the studio for some reason. But hopefully things are looking good, |

| 1:58.8 | lots of money for them. People leave if their favorite rides aren't open. And then what happens? |
| 2:05.6 | In like a lack of regulation too. That too in the day just because people didn't care. |
| 2:10.1 | And like modern water parks and theme parks really didn't exist for a while so they just didn't know what to expect. |
| 2:17.2 | Yeah when you start hearing some of the stories from some of these parks in like the 80s and even before |
| 2:22.7 | that I mean hey day. There was no like you just said there's no regulations or laws are really |
| 2:29.2 | inspectors just kind of like up to the park owner to do what they wanted and obviously they assume |
