| 0:45.3 | Welcome back to Night Call. Another week. Another lonely week. Another call. Another week. Another |
| 0:51.6 | call. Tess and I, at least, had our journey to Rhyme City this past weekend, the weekend that Detective Pikachu came out and blew Avengers out of the water. This is now a Bafo B.O. podcast. We care about those returns, baby. |

| 2:16.0 | But Tess, |
| 2:16.5 | you got to go to the Americana to see Detective Pikachu on |
| 2:22.6 | opening day, which I feel like must have been a zoo, the central hive of every child who wants |
