0:00.0 | You're listening to the West Wing Weekly. My name is Rishikesh Urway and I am an Indian |
0:10.8 | in the lobby. And my name is Joshua Molina and I'm a shirtless Jew. I'm just taunting |
0:17.5 | the viewers I've got my shirt on. It's true. I can't lie to you. You're wearing the |
0:21.6 | signal t-shirt in fact. Yes I am. And your pink headphones. Again, yes. I approve of |
0:26.2 | the whole ensemble. Thank you. That's stupid for me to say. I'm an Indian in the lobby. |
0:31.4 | No it isn't. I have another Indian friend and did you bump at all on the fact that they |

1:26.3 | who was supposed to meet with them and they aren't about to leave and CJ is told to make |

1:36.2 | synopsis that the writer chose Native Americans in the lobby. That's true. That's true. But |
1:42.2 | then apparently walked away from their desk partway through the synopsis. That's true. Yeah. |
1:47.7 | Kind of gave out because there is no mention of Josh dealing with a 13 year old boy who's |
