Call Zone Media.

0:07.7

Hey, everybody.

0:08.5

Robert Evans here, and I wanted to let you know this is a compilation episode.

0:12.8

So every episode of the week that just happened is here in one convenient and with somewhat less ads package for you to listen to in a long stretch

0:22.1

if you want. If you've been listening to the episodes every day this week, there's going to be

0:25.8

1:35.8
