| 0:00.0 | Hey mates, just Matt dropping in here quickly before the start of the episode. |
| 0:04.0 | You know, we're doing three more live streams coming up over the following three Saturdays. |
| 0:08.4 | Saturdays Melbourne time anyway. |
| 0:11.2 | So Melbourne time, it's midday Saturday, this week for instance, Saturday the 18th of April at midday. |
| 0:19.7 | But you can go to our website if you're somewhere else in the world just to double check the conversion rates. |
| 0:24.0 | I've done it myself here. For instance, midday Saturday is Friday night 10pm in Toronto in Canada or Columbus, Ohio. |
| 0:36.5 | It's 9pm Friday in Dallas, Texas, 7pm in LA. She's America has a lot of time zones apparently. New York City in New York |
| 0:46.6 | is 10pm on Friday. London, Cardiff and Dublin. I'm guessing all of the UK and Ireland that's 3am, |
| 0:55.9 | which sucks. Sorry about that. But the good thing about these streams is they're up for 24 hours. |
| 1:01.6 | So you can watch it at whatever time suits you best in the 24 hours after it comes out. |
| 1:07.2 | So if you're not a party animal from Cardiff, you can watch it the next morning when you get up if you want to. |
| 1:13.2 | Auckland obviously is 2pm, Prime time Saturday and Iceland also in the middle of the night to 8am Paris for aim. |
| 1:22.9 | Anyway, you can look it up. I'm just looking up at timeanddate.com. What a tedious way to start. I do apologize for that. |
| 1:29.1 | But it was fun to me. It blows my mind. The world has different, all these different times. |
| 1:34.5 | And we're ahead of most of you, apart from those wild-eating New Zealanders who are streets ahead of the rest of the world. |
| 1:41.4 | In so many ways, anything else I need to tell you? Oh, I say porn differently to Americans. |
| 1:50.2 | I say, so when I say porn shop, I mean what you would call, I guess a poor, poor, |
| 1:56.9 | one-shop. I can't do it. To us, porn and porn are homophones. But to you, sound very different. |
| 2:04.1 | Porn and Porn, PAWN is porn. P-O-RN is also porn. Sorry. |
| 2:13.3 | But it's fun. Language is fun. We're also wearing suits during this. So there's a couple of very brief references to that. |
| 2:20.6 | Anyway, if you want to watch the streams, please go to sospresents.com. |
| 2:26.3 | And yeah, you can get a ticket for the following three weeks if you want to. |
