| 0:16.0 | Welcome to Navaralive. I'm Michael Walker. I'm joined by Helena, aka No Justice MTG. Great to have you on the show. |
| 0:24.8 | Good to be here. Good to be off a good weekend for myself. Hopefully you had a good weekend suit and hopefully have one at home did it as well. |

| 1:51.2 | much tougher. I know we have to go further because people are still getting in boats every day, |
