0:00.0 | I'm Richard Porter. I'm Johnny Smith. And this is on the other side of things, the Smith and Sniff |
0:06.4 | spin-off in which we answer your questions. Hi. Yackety Yack. Thanks for coming back. It's Friday. If you |
0:17.0 | listen to the show when it's first published and we're going to answer some |
0:21.3 | listener questions. I'm going to start, if I may. Please. With, um, with, um, with one, yeah. |
