| 0:00.0 | Do you remember at two o'clock in the afternoon watching the giant centrally controlled west |
| 0:19.7 | clocks clock at the front of the room without a sweep second hand where the minute hand |
| 0:27.3 | would jump once a minute but it always took too long especially at two o'clock we were trapped |
| 0:37.9 | trapped in a system we didn't like just waiting for the minute hand to move. Hey it's Ajay and |
| 0:48.0 | this is a special archive episode of the Kimbo. An entire episode devoted to talking about your |
| 0:55.0 | questions about last week's episode stop stealing dreams. Hey Seth it's Maria. Hey Seth my name's |
