0:15.0	525,600 minutes. 525,600 moments so dear.
0:26.0	That's the number of minutes in a year, 12 months, 365 and a quarter days.
0:32.0	Yes, it's every year has 365 and a quarter days. I don't know if you knew that. That's why there's a leap year with an extra day every four years.
0:38.0	Instead of adding six hours a day every year, just add 24 hours every four years.

2:13.0	Get to games. Give owners your money. Give movie stars your money.
2:20.0	Give restaurant tours your money. Let's get that disposable and come back into the economy.
2:26.0	Let's let it be a whirling dervish moving from hand to hand.
