0:00.0	How do you feel when you switch to Geico and save on your car insurance? It's like going to work
0:05.2	on one Thursday morning and thinking to yourself just one more day until Friday. But then somebody
0:11.3	in the elevator says, happy friday. Then you check your phone quickly and discover today is
0:16.7	actually Friday. So yes, happy friday, random stranger in the elevator.
0:22.0	Happy friday indeed. Yep, switching and saving with Geico feels just like that.
0:27.4	Get more with Geico.
0:36.2	What's happening, guys? Happy Tuesday!
0:38.5	And thank you for joining another special episode of your welcome, guys.

1:38.1	He's from a distant land.
1:41.3	New Zealand, training by way of Australia or something along these lines, but he gets his druthers in North America while always representing Africa.
1:52.6	It's a very interesting guy. He's bigger than life. He comes out. He looks cooler than we look.
1:57.4	He's got more jewelry on than we got. He can move in ways. He's got friends. He's got money. He's got success. He's got the words. But he stays a man of the people. How?
