0:00.0	Hey, hey, hey, time to put your middle to the test, pal.
0:05.0	One of us has to decide how to start this show again this week.
0:24.0	Oh shit, that's right.
0:25.6	We can't depend upon the force of chaos.
0:28.6	Yeah, see, every week I make the topic list for this show, and I'm like, okay, I've got
0:32.6	everything planned out, I've got all the structure, I never do an intro.

1:46.9	Kind of dramatic.
1:48.3	A little weird that it was on Comedy Central because I don't know that it was funny.
