| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody, welcome back to the Blister Podcast on the Blister Podcast Network. |
| 0:07.5 | I'm Jonathan Ellsworth, and you can check out everything we're doing and reviewing over |
| 0:13.8 | at blisterreview.com. |
| 0:17.0 | Today, Cody and I are back to review some of the news of the past six weeks. |
| 0:22.7 | Sorry that we're late on this one. |
| 0:24.7 | And we are once again dealing with some really important topics, some hard topics, some |
