0:00.0	I got a story to tell every word of the true except for the part I made up for you.
0:05.6	Just some history that has been reverted into a mystery called the way I heard it.
0:14.6	Hey guys, it's the way I heard it episode number 338. It's what we like to call a bonus episode,
0:19.8	although Chuck, at this point, how many bonus episodes are you going to do before the word bonus
0:26.0	just starts to feel like, you know, want, want, want, want, want.
0:28.8	Yeah, there's a hat on a hat sort of a feeling about it. But look, this is a bonus story,
0:34.3	as opposed to a bonus coffee with your mom. So, you know, there are two flavors of bonus,

1:43.3	episode were to have a specific title and it does, it would be called, it might be worth remembering.
1:48.9	It might be worth remembering. Yes. Yes. As you've just demonstrated, you remembered that real good.
1:55.1	I wanted to make sure I had it before you moved on. We're living in times, my friends, where our
2:01.4	memories are subject to the enthusiasm and certainties by those who surround us. And when we're
2:08.8	searching for the truth, whatever that might be, well, we have a lot to sort through. And I
