0:15.5

podcast I've just eaten a pizza and it was it was oh it was all right it wasn't

0:20.8

the best pizza I've ever had it certainly wasn't the worst because I've had some pretty bad

0:26.5

Pizzas in my time let me tell you I'm from England

We're not known for our food well we are known for our food we not known for our food. Well, we are known for our food. We're known for it being kind of bad.
