| 0:44.0 | Hi everyone, you're the C2 after hours. I'm young me. I'm me here. I'm Rowie. It's good to see you guys. |
| 0:50.0 | I feel like Rowie has like an especially nice deep resident. I'm Rowie. Yeah, that's my Batman voice. That's your Batman voice. I'm Rowie. |
| 0:58.0 | Wait, does that mean you don't like my voice? No, your voice is so soothing. Never complimented my voice ever. Oh my God. |

| 2:00.0 | Exactly. Where it was very difficult to go surfing. |
| 2:06.0 | And Rowie, there's literally zero about you now that says surfer. |
| 2:11.0 | I think there's a tiny little spikoli. |
| 2:13.0 | No, there's tiny little spikoli. |
| 2:15.0 | We here, do you have a car story? |
| 2:18.0 | My first car was actually a lovely brown Honda Civic wagon that I took from my parents and I had so much love for that car. |
