| 0:00.0 | Hello, this is Brett Goldstein. I'm a comedian and actor, writer, director, |
| 0:03.5 | swimmer, and I love films. Come join me on my podcast, Films To Be Bered With, |
| 0:07.6 | where I invite a special guest over, I tell them they've died, then I get them to discuss |
| 0:11.5 | their life through the films that meant the most to them. What films scared them the most? |
| 0:14.8 | What made them cry the most? Etc. At the end, they pick a film to go in their |
| 0:18.6 | pocket and take to heaven. Like, death, and movies. Listen to films to be buried with |

| 1:10.2 | a massive earthquake striking the west coast there in states could have a |
| 1:14.5 | catastrophic effect on the entire region. What are seismologists studying and how will |
| 1:19.8 | they determine when it's going to happen? I'm really pleased to welcome my guest, |
