| 0:00.0 | Hello. Hi, John. Who's there? Who's that? |
| 0:10.9 | Who's that? It's me. Hi, Merlin. |
| 0:16.1 | What's up for a Cosby? Oh, no. I never did a Cosby impression. I never thought it was |
| 0:28.6 | funny. I didn't I didn't watch half of Bill Cosby himself this weekend. Um, the chocolate cake behind you. |
| 0:37.0 | Oh, hello, John. Hi, you know, I'm sitting here. I've got I had I bought some pillowcases. |
| 0:43.1 | Oh, and I bought some pillows to go in them. And as I was buying the pillows, I was like, these |
| 0:49.5 | pillows aren't big enough for these pillowcases. I hate that. But I got a lot to say about pillows |
| 0:55.2 | pillowcases. But I did it anyway. These are couch pillows, not not home pillows. Oh, I see. So, uh, |
| 1:01.7 | and try to call it more of a cushion. Yeah, that's right. A cushion. But the disparity still bothers me. |

| 1:51.6 | per air pillow. But see, now you're changing physics. Yeah, yeah. So, so let's find |

| 2:04.3 | internals of the cushion that they would be housing. They were selling them right next to each other. |
| 2:10.4 | Here's the pillow. Here's the pillow case. Oh, now that's just irresponsible. I held them up. I was |
