| 0:00.0 | Hello everybody it's Timboe and I'm back and you might be able to hear some |
| 0:05.2 | lawn mower action going on in the background clearly that is not me that is my wife |
| 0:11.2 | very special guest on this episode. |
| 0:13.8 | You might know him from the Seriously Did for Netflix, Dark Tourist. |
| 0:19.9 | You might know him from Tickle one of the absolute craziest documentaries ever. You might |
| 0:29.0 | know him from his like current work, Webbworm, which is a truly fantastic newsletter that David Ferrier puts out. |
| 0:38.0 | Obviously it who it is, it's David Ferrier. |

| 1:51.0 | So it is, it's fun to flashback 10 years ago and listen to a man who |
| 1:57.6 | had he was destined for such great things. Have to sit through our 39th watch of Grown-ups too and a long overdue apology to David. |
