| 0:00.0 | Hello, my fellow historians. Welcome back. We had a week off of Not Live. We had an episode, |
| 0:14.6 | but it's nice to be back to live streaming. Nice to have Sean back and Achea back because, |
| 0:19.2 | you know, those recorded episodes, it's usually just me. We get the whole gang this time. |
| 0:24.4 | And a live studio audience today. And a live studio on Shoutout to our good friend, Dom, |
| 0:28.7 | of Folk Wise, who was hanging out as well. Sean, how's it going there? I see you got a shirt |

| 0:36.6 | Yeah, what is that? Is that a depth? Oh, it's Avatar. Avatar. Avatar. Okay. Cool. |
