| 0:00.0 | Hey guys, it's Tim Miller from the Bullwork here with managing editor Sam Stein, and we live in the stupidest fucking timeline imaginable. |
| 0:06.7 | And so some news has happened since we taped the podcast. |
| 0:10.2 | There's been a billionaire sumo wrestling match in the White House and a couple of other items, news items got like kind of page six gossip items in normal times, but unfortunately, |
| 0:22.6 | news items that are central to what is happening in our democracy in our era. And so we'll just |
| 0:27.2 | run through them really quick, Sam. I think we should start with our earth while colleague Mark Caputo |
| 0:33.2 | supporting in Axis. We were hoping to get Mark on for the OGs of the YouTube. |
| 0:38.0 | I never even asked. |
| 0:40.0 | Well, I assume that when Mark has a story such as this, he should be saying, |

Just did not like how he was treating me. |
| 1:47.9 | You didn't like the thumbnail on the YouTube video that he shows? I got in his face. I said, |
| 1:52.7 | do better at thumbnails, bud. No, I didn't do that. I love Sebastian. Sebastian, I like that. That's not normal behavior. |
| 2:01.5 | People who like throw down in the office are weirdos. They should not, they need help. But that's kind of like |
| 2:06.1 | the theme here is people who I had a, I had a very minor verbal confrontation with a, with a |
