| 0:00.0 | Greetings history buffs, xenophiles, and gladiators of the geek realm. |
| 0:04.1 | You're turning into a very special recast episode of geek history lesson. |
| 0:09.3 | I'm Jason Inman, and today we're going to don our sandals. |
| 0:12.6 | We're going to grab our swords and we're going to prepare for battle because gladiator 2 is on the horizon. |
| 0:19.0 | And it's ready to storm the silver screen with the likes of Paul |
| 0:21.7 | Mascall and Denzo Washington. |
| 0:23.6 | And you need a perfect little appetizer before you go into Glad 80 or two. |

| 1:13.3 | sequel to Gladiator. So this might be the funniest way for you to laugh at us and our |
| 1:19.8 | bad predictions by listening to this episode. And also in that 2020 episode, we had a very special |
| 1:25.2 | guest, the comedian, the insightful, Mark Ellis. |
| 1:28.6 | You might know him from some of his stand-up specials or from the schmodeon, and he joined us |
| 1:32.4 | in this very special episode. But before we get to that recast, I just want to let you know, |
| 1:38.6 | as always, if you get tired of the arena, we always have more exclusive content and behind the scenes banter and a few more gladiatorial puns. |
