| 0:11.4 | We've been sleeping together for the past few weeks, but she has a boyfriend. |
| 0:14.9 | I am a virgin, I am 25. And I'm just not sure if it's normal. |
| 0:19.6 | I'm Anna Richardson and this is it can't just be me when no topic is off limits. |

| 1:47.1 | Joining me for headlines tonight are my fellow Skeptic rats, Michael Marshall, and Eli Bosnick. |
| 1:52.0 | Gentlemen, let's settle that meme that's going around before we get started. Which |
| 1:56.4 | dystopian housecapes have we entered? Is it a handmade tale, Fahrenheit 41, or sorry, |
