| 0:13.5 | Ari Wasserman is back for a Friday show. |
| 0:16.2 | We're back at home now. |
| 0:18.1 | We're not on location anymore. |
| 0:19.9 | There will be no incidents where the computer |
| 0:22.5 | overheats and the podcast is nearly lost, causing me to release a stream of profanities, |

| 1:34.6 | So you have to find these places. |
| 1:36.6 | So basically, I made the rule that you had to pick a national chain because obviously we don't want to be like, my little taco place in front of my house. |
