| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to something's off with Andrew Heaton. I'm your host, Andrew Heaton. And today I'm going to be joined by comedian Turner Sparks and former Chinese ice cream mogul Turner Sparks to talk about Howard Schultz, the former CEO of |
| 0:25.2 | Starbucks and why him thinking about running for president is causing so much |
| 0:30.5 | crankiness in the Democratic Party and a little bit of ire in the |
| 0:33.5 | Republican Party so we'll go over that. Before we do that however I do need to pay the |
