| 0:07.0 | Gemini, settled this debate. |
| 0:08.7 | What's the ultimate relationship betrayal? |

| 0:19.4 | Both are pretty bad. |
| 0:20.5 | But I'd say watching a show without your partner is worse, at least with the dishes. You're not missing out on a shared experience. I totally agree. That's what I did last night.

| 1:35.2 | really where to begin, but we are going to jump in and try and do our best to untangle a little |
| 1:41.7 | bit of it. Obviously, as always, you'll get some views from across the political |
| 1:46.0 | spectrum and I'll share my thoughts. I'm still processing this, to be honest. I mean, this is, |
| 1:51.6 | it's huge. It's a massive story and there are so many layers to it and it's so unclear what's |
| 1:58.4 | going to happen in the future now, but we'll see. |
