0:18.0	We have us.
0:22.0	Oh. This is free with ads, the podcast that asked the question, why pay Apple TV plus 13 bucks a month to watch the studio when you could go online for free and watch a classic Hollywood satire that's way better because everyone talks in an old time voice.

2:01.2	Certainly not.
2:01.8	Yes, a man, a lovely man who everyone likes.
