| 0:18.9 | We're not talking about anything involving capes or superheroes |
| 0:21.7 | today, though. We're talking Chad Powers on the room. I mean, I'm going to spoil it all. |
| 0:26.5 | Oh, are you good? I want views. I'm selling a, I got to get people to watch my show. |
| 0:34.2 | I came prepared to give spoilers, man. I'm trying to go viral. Is Faggy in the room with |
| 0:40.5 | you right now? You'll just turn the camera. He'll show us to wipeboard all of it. I'm out in the |
