0:00.0	You're listening to a Complexly podcast.
0:09.5	Hello and welcome to Dear Hank and John.
0:11.6	Or as I prefer to think of it, Dear John and Hank.
0:13.7	It's a podcast where two brothers answer your questions, give you dubious advice and bring you all the week's news from both Mars and AFC Wimbled and John.

1:13.5	they know what I'm into, but I'm already a customer. You can't convert me a second time. It reminds me

1:30.7	It's hard to tell. And also, you could always buy more at good.com. It is an amazing extent to which they identify your interests. For example, now when I go on to Twitter, which of course I never do and would never do.
