0:00.0	This week in RetroNots an episode decades in the making.
0:25.2	Hello everyone and welcome to another fine episode of RetroNots.
0:28.5	My name is Jeremy Parish but you already knew that because you listen to RetroNots on the regular
0:32.3	because you're cool and great and we love you. So you know the drill, the deal, we're going to be
0:38.2	talking about classic video games and with me to do that the Royal Wii is... Hey it's Bob Mackie
0:44.3	here again and hi it's Rebornhole and you know what you guys always seem to have me on when I'm
0:49.4	between haircuts and you know usually that's okay but now we have this rowdy-rody peeper on the side
