| 0:00.0 | People who are not as nerdy as us might expect us to do something really special for episode number 450 |
| 0:05.3 | Oh, is that what we're on? I didn't even know I didn't even know is 450 so now Casey and I have this new piece of information |
| 0:13.2 | We are we celebrating 50s now. I mean, I mean we didn't even celebrate 400 |
| 0:18.3 | We did make a big deal like 400 is where we actually talked about the show on the show for a little bit |
| 0:24.0 | But it wasn't like we did that at 100 I think we talked about it made one hundred two hundred but 400 is a random thing |
| 0:28.8 | And I feel like we did that discussion on 400 if you want to hear it go listen to episode 400 |

| 1:26.7 | Oh my good reason when you have to order pasta three months ahead of time you had to figure well |
| 1:31.8 | How many might I need and how many might I want to like you know give away to neighbors and friends to try you know |
