| 0:00.0 | As the cold open to this episode, you should just put in a clip of we built this city, you know, |
| 0:04.8 | from the song, probably the very opening one, just those, just that phrase, we built this city. |
| 0:09.6 | It is very short clip and then just start the show. |
| 0:12.6 | Why? That's because that song is kind of a meme and it maybe it's not relevant to you too. |
| 0:18.3 | Yeah, maybe it's not relevant to you because you're a little bit too young for it, |

| 1:05.7 | Good. So all three of us, we can hug it out as soon as one of us travel, |
| 1:09.5 | or two of us travels at the other one, I guess. |
| 1:11.4 | But I am so excited. I'm not being silly at all. |
| 1:15.8 | I am so excited to give both of you uncomfortably long hugs the next time I see you. |
