| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to Something's Off with Andrew Heaton. I'm your host, Charlie Chaplin. |
| 0:15.0 | And today I am about to be joined by Brian Brushwood, who is going to rant about the minimum wage and civil asset forfeiture, I will join him so that you will have a delightful |
| 0:26.9 | stereophonic tirade piped directly into your skull. |
| 0:30.9 | Afterwards, I'm going to clarify what I think is a really big deal that Jean Epstein and I got |

| 1:31.0 | for the beginning of every day that that seems like it |
| 1:33.5 | gets you in some health trouble fortunately Wunderkim Industries has developed |
| 1:38.0 | their patented passenger side car grill it's a small rectangular barbecue that's specifically designed to fit in the |
