| 0:00.0 | I love my kid, but is a new comedy parenting podcast from Wondry that shares a refreshingly |
| 0:05.3 | honest and insightful take on parenting. Each week the host will share a parenting story that'll |
| 0:10.1 | have you laughing and thinking, yes, I have absolutely been there. Listen to, I love my kid, |
| 0:16.3 | but on Amazon Music or wherever you get your podcasts. Many involved in crypto saw |
| 0:21.3 | Sandbankman freed as a breath of fresh air from the usual Wall Street buffs, but in just one month, |
| 0:26.4 | his crypto exchange would collapse. From Bloomberg and Wondry comes Spellcaster, a new six-part |

| 1:22.6 | it's time for a closer look. A mid-aluming showdown with his own FBI director and members of |
| 1:32.2 | Congress, Trump met today with Republicans in West Virginia. He began by listing off Republicans |
| 1:37.6 | in attendance, but watch as he reads, said a majority whip, John Cornin's name, then forgets |
| 1:42.9 | he read it and then complains that they forgot to include it. |
