0:00.0	You're listening to a Complexly podcast.
0:09.5	Hello and welcome to dear Hank and John.
0:12.8	Words, I prefer to think of it, Dear John and Hank.
0:14.9	It's a podcast where two brothers answer your questions, give you to be his advice,
0:18.3	and bring you news from Mars and AFC Wimbledon sometimes.
0:21.6	And today, I wanted to tell John the new goal of mine, which is to become a bouillonaire.

And they were like, hey, just don't do note news from Mars and AMC Wimbledon. But no, I'm going to do some evergreen news from AFC Wimbledon. I'm sure there's some evergreen news from Mars. I mean, Mars literally never changes. You could just be like Mars continues to not have much of an atmosphere.
1:28.0	One thing I'm confident of is that no one's heard this week's news from Mars or AFC Wimbledon
1:34.0	until they listen to the podcast.
1:36.4	So it's going to be news to them.
1:38.7	Exactly.
