| 0:12.2 | Frequent Myler on the air starts now. |
| 0:19.4 | Today's main event, too good to be true. Should we shut up? |
| 0:24.4 | Stop. Stop it, Craig. Stop talking about that deal. And deals are so awesome that we know they're going to die. |
| 0:31.9 | Should we stop broadcasting them everywhere? Should we stop repeating it for our audience? |
| 0:37.2 | You're going to kill |
| 0:37.8 | another deal, Greg. In the hopes that these deals will last longer. We're going to debate that. |
| 0:43.1 | Luckily, it's just me and you debating it. So we don't have to deal with, you know, some angry |
| 0:49.9 | people who have been burned when deals died. Although we're probably angry about something. I was going to say, I mean, we've gotten burned once or twice, too. I'm sure we have, yeah. So we'll talk more about that. But that's pretty good. First, we've got the giant mailbag. Okay. I was hoping to see it. There we go. There's the mail bag. |

| 1:32.2 | Interesting discussion on Capital One. |
| 1:35.0 | Yes, maybe best solo card for travel if you know how to use some of the more obscure transfer partners. |
| 1:42.3 | But if you're using Miles on these partners, you're at least an |
| 1:45.2 | intermediate player in the hobby and therefore not going to be limiting yourself to just one |
| 1:50.4 | card. Really good point. That was an excellent. I saw that comment and I thought to myself, |
| 1:56.4 | that's a great point. There's not really a counterpoint for that. Capital One transfer partners do require some at least intermediate knowledge of the game in order to get great value out of them. There is two, a counterpoint. I have a counterpoint. Good. I'm glad you do. Bring it out. Okay. Tell Alex why he's wrong. So the venture card, we've been arguing, is a great just all around if you just want one card card. |
