0:00.0	A co-presentation of WNYC Studios and Night Fail presents.
0:05.0	You are listening to the orbiting human circus of the air. The We've gone back in time.
0:34.6	Cocoo has seen the janitor with his own eyes and the janitor has spoken.
0:40.7	I came to go to the ballroom at the top.
0:44.4	There's no ballroom at the top of the Ivo tower.
0:47.8	Oh, there is.

3:07.0	Hello.
