| 0:10.5 | Snapers, do you know at one point? |
| 0:14.3 | I got a call from the power set B saying Snap was canceled. |
| 0:19.2 | That was a very, very, no good, very bad day, but I realized |
| 0:25.6 | that the power set B didn't own this show. |
| 0:29.2 | You own this show Snap is. That's why I'm asking you to support it. |
