0:03.0 | Welcome back to the Philip DeFranco Show and let's just jump into it. |
0:06.0 | And the first thing that we're going to talk about today, |
0:08.0 | I can't believe we're having to talk about this again. |
0:10.0 | And since apparently everybody else on the internet is scared to say it, |
