| 0:03.6 | Every week we pour a drink and learn about a new story from around the world. |
| 0:06.7 | I'm Amanda. |
| 0:07.5 | And I'm Julia. |
| 0:08.5 | And this is episode 169, coolest crypted, live from Los Angeles, California. |
| 0:13.4 | This was such a fun game show to do. |
| 0:16.8 | I think that we can make it even better next time we play it. |
| 0:19.8 | But I love designing live show games with the help of Eric Silver. |
| 0:24.9 | You're extraordinarily good at it and you make a great duo. And if anyone in or near Texas or who wants to go to Texas wants to see us do something amazing live, come to Austin tomorrow. |

| 1:34.6 | And if y'all were backstage with us at the show, we definitely would have shared a drink with |
| 1:37.7 | you. Honestly, this time, it was just some Miller Light from the supermarket because our life isn't always glamorous. Yes, it was, but it was delicious, |
