| 0:15.6 | Sitting here minding my own business and the LG was like, I don't know about this and it turned itself off |
| 0:21.7 | You don't need to see it see the screen to podcast and then turn itself right back on which is weird though because |
| 0:27.8 | I'm talking to you on the USP mix. It's fine. I'm talking to you on the mix pre-3 which is plugged into that |
