0:00.0	Ritchin Radio begins in three, two, one.
0:08.7	If it brings her to the same point that it brings you, it doesn't matter whether she called it God along the way or not.
0:13.6	That understanding works for you, so therefore it is absolutely right for you.
0:17.5	All beliefs have become only relatively true.

1:43.1	No, sorry. Don't, don't turn off the radio, please but that begs the question. No, sorry.
1:48.4	Sorry, don't, don't turn off the radio, please don't turn out the radio.
