| 0:00.0 | Hello listeners. We had an audio issue this week that resulted in lower audio quality than |
| 0:05.8 | usual. We are very sorry about this. Maybe you won't even notice, and the person who |
| 0:10.6 | made the mistake can get away with it without too much embarrassment. It was an honest |
| 0:14.2 | mistake, and he feels bad enough already, so I won't even name him. |
| 0:18.9 | Anyway, hopefully this will work, and if you need to use a Skype backup for some crazy |
| 0:26.1 | f***ed up reason than blame me, but you shouldn't. You really shouldn't. |
| 0:31.8 | We need to talk about, for the next the last time, we need to talk about one very important |
| 0:36.6 | thing, which is the real AFM fundraiser for St. Jude. Last week, when we recorded the episode, |

| 1:09.5 | you could say, a sister show to relay. It means a lot to all three of us, and especially |
| 1:13.5 | to relay that our listeners and everyone else have opened their wallets and sent money |
| 1:19.8 | to St. Jude. I can't think of a better place to send some of your harder money than St. Jude. |
| 1:26.1 | If you aren't familiar with them, if you missed it last week, St. Jude is a children's |
| 1:30.0 | research hospital that is in Memphis, Tennessee, which just so happens to be the hometown of |
| 1:33.8 | Stephen Hackett, who is one of the founders of relay FM. St. Jude does incredible work |
| 1:38.5 | with both research and treatment of childhood cancer. And what St. Jude has decided is, |
| 1:43.2 | hey, if you have this God-awful situation wherein one of your children has cancer, let's |
| 1:48.8 | do what we can to take away the one thing that we can really and truly control, which |
