0:00.0 | What you have here is episode number 262 of the way I heard it. |
0:08.0 | It's called Let's Talk About Septims and Scrotums. |
0:11.9 | And Chuck, I guess we should just start by apologizing the advertisers. |
0:14.8 | They probably didn't know they were sponsoring an episode with Scrotum in the title. |
0:18.1 | But you know what you get, what you get on this gig? |
0:20.8 | Yeah, that's true. That's very true. This is know what you get, what you get on this gig. |
0:24.9 | Yeah, that's true. That's very true. This is a good episode, though. We say that a lot. |
0:29.2 | We always say it's a good episode. But I know you've wanted to have this guy on for a long time, |

1:25.7 | way I sleep. So I feel a measure of gratitude to this guy, |
1:29.6 | and I've always wanted to meet him. I've heard him interviewed in other places, and I admire his stuff. |
1:35.4 | You were saying before, which is pretty funny, you haven't read his book, but you feel like you |
