| 0:05.3 | We are going to be doing something the mainstream media for some inexplicable reason is failing to do, which is talk about events in Iran. |
| 0:12.8 | And there's literally no one we could think of who's better to talk about this in Maya Tusi, former guest of Trigonometry, Iranian himself, he's has family in the country. |
| 0:21.7 | Maya, without wasting any more time, our time's precious here. What has been going on in Iran |
| 0:26.3 | for last 12 days? Yeah, well, thanks for having me, guys. Yeah, 12 days now, in case people haven't |
