| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Reason Roundtable, the Weekly Libertarian News and Views podcast brought to you by the magazine of Free Minds and Free Markets. |
| 0:10.4 | I am Matt Welch, joined by Nick Gillespie in a weird shirt, Peter Suderman and Catherine Mangu Ward. Happy 2023! Colleagues! |
| 0:21.0 | How do you know here? |
| 0:22.5 | Hey Matt. |
| 0:23.5 | Happy New Year. |
| 0:24.5 | Alright Nick, tell your dumb shirt story. |
| 0:27.0 | Oh yes, so my ex-wife bought me a shirt on sale at Nordstroms. It's white and it's kind of like a baseball shirt, Matt. |

| 1:33.5 | It is a game of public transit. It is a train game. |
| 1:37.5 | But it's actually, it's about competing train lines, my friends. |
| 1:42.0 | It's not about the trolley problem. |
| 1:43.5 | So, it's not like it's, oh my God, what an amazing game that would be would play. |
| 1:48.5 | You are Mussolini. You've got to get the trains to run on time. Otherwise, it'll probably problem the board game loses world. |
