| 0:00.0 | Hey, everybody. Hey, everybody. Welcome. Besties are back. Besties are back. It's another all-in podcast |
| 0:05.1 | dropping it to you unexpectedly because there's just so much news. Too much. Bestie pods. |
| 0:14.0 | We're dropping a bestie. It's not a code. They're 13. We're not dropping any Snickers bars today. |
| 0:20.5 | Just dropping the bestie. Oh, no, he's got a megaphone. |

| 1:50.8 | we have a whole different brew, apparently Hunter Biden who loves to smoke crack and has a serious |
| 1:59.3 | problem. This is, you know, he's a seriously obviously troubled individual. But he brought three |
| 2:06.8 | laptops to get them fixed and never picked them up according to this story in the New York Post. |
| 2:13.1 | So the New York Post runs a story with an author who is kind of unknown. |
