0:00.0 | Whether it's an under the radar genre or a proper out there podcast, sometimes it's better when you get weird, especially when it comes to switching up your soft drink, introducing new Dr Pepper Zero |
0:12.6 | with the same blend of 23 unique flavors, |
0:15.4 | it tastes just as weird as regular Dr Pepper, |
0:18.9 | but with zero sugar and zero calories. |
0:21.7 | It's a taste you can't quite put your finger on. |
0:24.0 | Weird. But in a surprisingly good way, try more weird with Dr Pepper Zero. The Pine Barons is a forest of over a million acres that spraws across the southern part of New Jersey. |

1:24.0 | Onks hat, hidden village or whatever. |
1:28.0 | We do have people occasionally pop in and just, you know know ask about it. |
1:33.6 | Kim Hildick works for the Department of Environmental Protection |
1:37.1 | at the Brandon T. Byrne State Forest in New Jersey, |
1:40.2 | where Ongsat is located. |
1:42.3 | There's nothing out there. |
