0:31.0 | him when I'm recording this promo. So you'll hear more from, you've heard more from Bernie. |
0:37.2 | And this one has to do with dust motes. I don't even remember. Honestly, I don't even remember what's in this episode, but I know it's a classic. I know it's Sleepy. I hear about it from listeners. It is a little bit looser. There'll be a little bit of looser, PG-13 language, probably some stuff like dusts and moats and stuff that we wouldn't maybe not talk about it |
0:55.1 | nowadays but it's different it's a different era of sleep with me but we want them in 2025 uh we know |
