0:09.4	Hello and welcome to dear Hank and John.
0:12.7	Or as I prefer to think of it, dear John and Hank.
0:15.3	It's a podcast where two brothers answer your questions.
0:17.7	Give you to me as advice and bring you all the week's news from both Mars and AFC Wimbledon. John, there's this dog. It's barking like 500 times a day in my neighborhood.
0:26.7	I mean, I don't know exactly. That's just my rough estimate. Ah, because it's going rough, rough,
