| 0:11.3 | Welcome to Frequent Myler on the air with Greg and Nick. This week we're going to be talking about whether the Sapphire Reserve is really worth the new $550 annual fee. |
| 0:23.7 | But before we get into that, it's, you know what time it is, Neck? |
| 0:27.9 | I do. It's my favorite segment of the week. I look forward to it all week long. |
| 0:31.8 | It is reader feedback time. And this week, well, you know what? Last week we skipped reader feedback time in favor of |

| 1:25.9 | A couple of major sins, not just one. |
| 1:28.3 | Well, it's the same sin. |
