0:00.0	What's good internet? It's July 15th and you're listening to Waypoint Radio episode
0:22.0	493. I'm your host Rob Zachney and I'm joined by Renata Price.
0:26.5	Howdy producer Ricardo Contreras. Hello. Does it? Is there a rhyme or reason for when you do a
0:36.0	do-do-t-save producer? Is it just like a feel thing? It's just a vibe.
0:45.2	No, I mean now you got me reflecting on it. No, there's not. Yeah, but there might be.
0:54.7	Maybe I do something via. Maybe I do something via. Maybe it's a little message for you to
