| 0:00.0 | Hello, and welcome to the band Facebook edition of Sleep Money, your guide to the Business and Finance News of the Week. |
| 0:20.8 | I'm Felix Salmon of Axios. |
| 0:22.7 | I'm here with Emily Peck of Huffpost. |
| 0:25.2 | Hello. |
| 0:26.4 | I'm here with Anna Shamansky of Breaking Views. |
| 0:30.4 | Hello. |
