0:22.0

I mean, it's definitely streaming things. It is. You've come to the right place if you were looking for the streaming thing.

0:28.0

I don't want to leave you just right there. It's not like, oh, I got you a splint check.

0:32.0

With Griffin and David. Are we going to get sued for that?

0:36.0

Maybe.

I think in 2012, not sure on that info. They just went on strike. They announced it on July 13th.

2:24.0

Even though that cuts out 70% of my monthly income, I am the sole provider for my wife, my two kids, my two dogs and my two ungrateful ass cats.

2:34.0
