0:00.0	Hello and welcome to group chat.
0:15.0	I am Justin Verrier and joining me the committee for the Dweeb Rock Hall of Fame.
0:23.3	Rob Mahoney, Jay Kyle, man.
0:28.7	Guys, we got a lot to talk about here, but I have to start with your podcast last week.
0:34.0	I think the nadir of this podcast, which has been going for many, many years at this point,

1:42.3	FML are the first three letters that come to mind for me, but you continue.
