| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Zach to the Future. I'm your co-host, Dachal Driscoll, joined today by Ms. Wentworth's favorite student, Mark Paul, |
| 0:09.4 | Hello, Mark Paul. Hello, Dashel. And I'm not just joined by Mark Paul today. We also have a very |
| 0:14.7 | special guest, Titanka Means. Tatanka, welcome. Thank you. To Tonka means, a Native American stand-up comedian and actor. He's been on a ton of TV, |
| 0:23.6 | including shows like The Sun, Banshee, and I Know This Much is True, as well as films like Tiger Eyes and Maze Runner, The Scorch Trials, with which I thought was interesting, Dexter Darden, who plays Devante on the 2020, Saved by the Bell Reimagining, a little Bellaverse crossover. And you may have heard his voice in Red Dead Redemption, too. I know I sure did. To Tonka Means, welcome. Ah, thank you so much for having me. Good to be here. Thank you. Thank you. Dude, you were in Red Dead? That's what I heard. I don't know. I just... You were heard. I never went back and listened.
