0:16.0	Um, how you up podcast people? In case you hadn't noticed, I'm not Oliver Pruitt. This is Daisy's egg,
0:36.0	coming to you live from down below at Colony Command Central. So how are things on Earth?
0:44.0	Out here? It seems we have a little volcano problem. And by little, I mean after sleeping for millions of years, 15 mile high
0:56.7	Olympus Mons has decided to blow its top and rain it down a gigantic cloud of ash and
