| 0:02.4 | And this concludes our podcast about pizza and laundry. |
| 0:06.0 | Pizza and chores. What's good. |
| 0:30.0 | Thank you so much for tuning in to another episode of the newest Olympian. |
| 0:33.3 | My name is Mike Schumer. |

| 0:37.6 | It's the first time I've said that on an episode. Look at that. Big old boy. Congratulations. |
| 0:41.7 | Thank you. I did a whole lot. Really? Shout out to my parents. That's the people you should congratulate on birthdays. Not you. Your parents. They did it. You didn't do anything. Anyway, I'm a grown man. |
