| 0:00.0 | I was thinking it's a mashup of Castaway, E.T. and Interstellar? |
| 0:05.9 | I think that Rocky has a little more charisma than a volleyball, but yes. |
| 0:10.0 | Well, I think Rocky is like a mashup of E.T. BB8 and Bud from Predator Badlands. |
| 0:17.6 | Okay. Yeah, sure. |
| 0:24.3 | Greetings. Badlands. Okay. Yeah. Sure. Greetings and salutations and welcome to Thumbore. |

| 0:28.1 | I'm Rachel. |
| 0:28.8 | Today we're talking about Project Hail Mary. |
| 0:31.8 | Hail Mary. |
| 0:33.5 | Sorry. |
| 0:34.4 | Oh, my God. |

| 0:37.1 | What? |
| 0:38.4 | Ryan Gosling's character, his name is Grace. |
