| 0:00.0 | Good morning, Greg. |
| 0:13.6 | Good morning. |
| 0:15.6 | So this first question actually follows from the last question in the last episode, but if anyone wants to know |
| 0:22.4 | what that was, they're going to have to go back and see what it was. |
| 0:26.0 | A reverse cliffhanger. |
| 0:27.9 | All right, here's Tina's question. I read that the old laws, the First Testament, was not even |
