| 0:00.0 | Hey, hi, welcome to the Eric Mataxi Show. I'm the announcer Todd Wilkerson, and I'm |
| 0:16.6 | taking a bubble bath right now. Yeah, it's such a treat, luxuriating in this warm |
| 0:21.0 | water with scented candles and my favorite rock'em on and off. Oh, no, no, sorry, it's |

| 1:49.8 | Hi, Eric. Thanks so much for having me again. It's always the pleasure to be with you. |
