0:00.0	I am so damn tired of being like to.
0:09.0	I don't think I can't deny it anymore.
0:15.0	You can stick to your story if you think it flies but I'm not going to buy it anymore.
0:35.2	Hello and thank you for listening to the 160 second episode of the ad free listener-supported congressional dish podcast I'm your nerdy host Jennifer Briny
0:39.4	and today I'm not going to be nerding out alone today's episode was recorded in early October at the world famous comedy store in Los Angeles
