| 0:00.0 | Hey, everybody, welcome to the show. It's your old friend Seth Voicenote Myers on the eve of Christmas Eve, |
| 0:08.0 | sitting in a bathroom by myself to record this special message to all of you. We just recorded our |
| 0:16.5 | second Criterion episode where I was joined by Lynn Manuel Miranda and Amir Questlove Thompson, |
| 0:23.8 | and we ran through the second set of 30 plus digital shorts to decide whether or not they |
| 0:29.3 | rose to the standard of a criterion episode or whether they were simply Kim's video or |
| 0:36.0 | whether they just fully didn't deserve any sort of label whatsoever. |
| 0:41.4 | It was a fantastic episode. I can't thank both of them enough for joining us. |
| 0:44.4 | But I also can't thank our friends Mike Scher and Jake Tapper, who earlier joined us to run through the first set of digital shorts and gave us this very idea to do a roundup with a couple of special |

| 1:35.9 | I'm not going to the bathroom. |
| 1:37.7 | And I feel like most of you who are listening know that, but I didn't want to a week from now |
| 1:42.0 | get a text from Sandberg saying, Oh, were you? Number one and number two. You didn't want to a week from now get a text from Sandberg saying, |
| 1:44.9 | Oh, were you number one or number two? |
| 1:47.6 | Yeah, it's safe. |
| 1:48.5 | It was number one or number two. |
| 1:50.6 | All right, enjoy quades. |
| 1:51.6 | Myers Criterion Collection. |
