| 0:00.0 | I'm Richard Porter, I'm Johnny Smith, and this is Smith and Smith, a podcast in which two friends talk about cars and all sorts of other things. |
| 0:13.0 | You know what, I realised that it's a guy who does a lot of auto-electrician work for me who's lovely, and I'm not going to tell you his name, but he's in my phone as the non-stop talker, and he's really lovely. |
| 0:27.0 | I remembered that although his electrician skills in cars are unrivaled, he is brilliant, very logical. |
| 0:37.0 | He adds that the term on that side of things, to the end of every sentence, and after about half an hour, it gets to the point where I have to go away and have a walk on my head. |
| 0:54.0 | If you say on that side of things again, but sometimes, surely that must make little to no sense in the context of, I don't know, my brother's just brought a voxel insignia on that side of things. |
| 1:13.0 | On that side of the family, you can manipulate it however, where you like, it's still sort of work. |
| 1:25.0 | I've just been walking down the canal, not on the north bank, the other bank with the rising sun pub on it, that's where I went, on that side of things. |
| 1:35.0 | Sometimes it makes perfect sense. |

| 1:49.0 | But it seems to conversationally work on that side of things. |
| 1:54.0 | Sorry to hear about the passing of your grandmother on that side of things. |
| 2:00.0 | Can I talk about family death? I just check on silly sentences at the end on that side of things. No, you can't do that. |
| 2:13.0 | It's like, didn't I mention a few months ago, the bloke who came to fix my guttering, not a euphemism on that side of things. |
| 2:21.0 | The bloke who came to fix a busted gutter that I had kept saying, do you know what I mean? After everything. |
| 2:30.0 | It was the same thing I had to eventually had to go, sorry mate, I've got to go inside and just sit in a dark room for a little bit. |
| 2:36.0 | Yes, I do know what you mean. |
| 2:40.0 | I mean, if you go, you want a beveled spilt running on that. Do you know what I mean? |
| 2:45.0 | I feel like, no, I actually don't know what you mean. I don't know what that is. Sorry. |
| 2:48.0 | I've got no idea. Sorry mate. |
| 2:50.0 | Yeah, so the other problem is there are some leaves up there. Do you know what I mean? |
| 2:54.0 | Yeah, I know what leaves are. Yeah. |
