| 0:30.0 | Hello. Hey, episode two. Yep, it's episode two, something. Welcome back to the official podcast. |
| 0:39.9 | Jackson and I were actually talking before this. He wanted to once again rant about shitty horror |
| 0:46.1 | writing. If you'd like to take it away, Jackson. What was specifically we didn't discuss this at all |
| 0:51.5 | beforehand. I mean, he's heard me into the bus. What do you mean to this two sentence horror thing |
| 0:57.0 | that you wanted to rant about? Oh, oh, that sorry. So we just came off watching. What do we watch? |
| 1:02.0 | I mean, if you go by by man, we watched by by man. So that's what I thought you were talking about. |
| 1:06.8 | But yeah, before that before that, we were talking about like actual subreddits designed around horror. |

| 2:18.3 | does it hurt my eyes? That is what I was laughing at. That's literally a ripoff of a joke from a famous |
| 2:24.4 | standup comedian. I'm trying to find his name. Uh, Emo Phillips tells that joke as part of his |
