| 0:00.0 | Good morning, everybody. Welcome to your Sunday morning live. And we are alive in the hive. |
| 0:10.0 | And let's get on with your questions. Thank you for the tip. And we say, |
| 0:15.6 | what's the philosophy behind men driving to really bad rap music with the bass crank to the max? |
| 0:20.5 | It's safe to assume that these people are total a-holtz |
| 0:22.7 | well no i mean it's uh it's a mating display right it's a mating display that say you will be untroubled by classical |
| 0:30.7 | music if you date me but apparently i'll punch you in the head if you touch my radio. So, yeah, it's just a mating display. |
| 0:40.0 | Don't you ever have this? |
| 0:40.7 | So I bought a car many years ago with, they called it a sunroof, then they called it a moon roof. |
| 0:49.0 | I just call it the open air concert cavity, the open air concert window. Because, you know, you're singing |

| 1:46.8 | Over Easter, my son and I listened to two of your podcast episodes about the Easter story. |
| 1:51.2 | The Easter, the earlier episode presented a very anti-religious, atheistic point of view |
| 1:54.9 | with a negative portrayal of Jesus as a bit of a whim. |
