0:27.0	However, before we get there, you've probably already noticed this episode is labeled part one.
0:31.3	Now, that's happened basically because we just had too much cool stuff to fit into one episode.
0:36.2	So this week, for one week and one week only, you guys are getting two episodes from us. Now obviously, this is a bit of an experiment for us. We've never done two episodes in one week before.
