| 0:02.3 | Guaranteed human. |
| 0:14.3 | Hey there, folks. |
| 0:15.3 | It is Sunday, March 8th, one week away, possibly from Timothy Shalame picking up an Oscar for Best Actor. |
| 0:26.6 | But before he gets to that stage, he is going to have to get through some pissed off ballet dancers and opera singers. |
| 0:34.8 | And with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and T.J. Ropes. I'm not sure how I... |
| 0:39.9 | They're coming after Timothy Shalame. This is a beef in the arts. Is this what it looks like? |
| 0:45.5 | Yes. Unfortunately, look, I believe he said these comments a couple of weeks ago, but they have just |

| 1:51.3 | I remember the images, but this is this is what this was. Timothy Chalamey and Matthew McConae. |
| 1:56.4 | That's kind of a cool pairing as well. Yeah, I love it because when you have someone who has been through it |
