| 0:00.0 | Hey there, it's Nick. And it's Leah. Real quick thing before we get going, Leah, do you know about |

And now let's start the show. Hey there, it's Nick. And it's Leah. So this is our anniversary, Leah. |
| 0:37.8 | This is our sixth anniversary. |
| 0:40.0 | I mean, it's insane, Nick. |
| 0:41.5 | Which is iron. |
| 0:42.6 | The gift I should give you, the material that's associated with six years is iron. |
| 0:47.0 | So there you go. |
| 0:48.4 | I mean, that sounds very Game of Thrones. |
| 0:51.5 | So as Leah and I were thinking about, like, oh, what should we do for this? |
| 0:54.7 | I came across a episode in the archives that never aired. And I'm not actually really sure why |
| 1:03.6 | we recorded this. This was like a test episode. This was not actually a real episode. |
| 1:07.8 | This was just sort of to like to see how the music worked, I think. |
| 1:11.8 | I don't think this was ever meant to be an episode. I mean, this was, you said it was the third |

| 1:45.2 | lasagna is better the next day? I also, well, I love it when it's warm when it just comes out. No, but you know, lasagna, it seeps in. It needs a seep and all the flavors need to kind of melt. Go with this, Leah, this metaphor. I just got so hungry that I was like, I could eat it now. but there are certain things that do need a little time to sort of marinate, soak up the juices, have the flavors meld mellow. |
| 2:07.4 | And I think our show has done that. |
| 2:09.2 | And so this is just a fresh lasagna. |
