| 0:00.0 | Dogs. Cats. Are they the only animals? No. Maybe. The other animals are in this room. |
| 0:15.2 | I didn't see the other animals snorting in my bed, so. Hi, welcome to I don't know about |
| 0:22.0 | that, but Jim Jeffries. We every time we do the intro, I always go on about, like it's |
| 0:27.5 | always something in the room. I have a cat. So I sort of cat today and for us to put these dogs, |
| 0:31.6 | so that would have to be the only animals that. We already did an episode and animals |
| 0:37.6 | were like, no, no other animals. No other animals. How is everyone going? Good. Great. |
| 0:42.4 | Okay. I was a little announcement to make. I was I was chatting to my manager yesterday, and I've |
