| 0:00.0 | Oh, hey Jay, so is Jubilee still a vampire? |
| 0:04.0 | She is not, Miles. |
| 0:06.0 | I thought that was especially hard to cure. |
| 0:10.0 | Well, yeah. |
| 0:12.0 | So how did Jubilee manage it? |
| 0:14.1 | With the help of Quent Inquire. Wait, seriously? And the Phoenix Force? |
| 0:18.8 | What? I'm Jay Eddidin and I'm Miles Stokes and we are here to explain the X-Men because it's about time someone did |
| 0:38.0 | Welcome to episode 432 of Jay and Miles Explain the X-Men where we walk you through the ins, the outs, and the |
