0:00.0	My bun tape from the S-Element Theater in New York City is Stephen Coles Bay!
0:07.3	Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello.
0:37.3	Welcome, ladies and gentlemen. One at all to the late show. I am your host, Stephen Coles Bayer, and it is...
0:45.3	Check your calendars because this is the first Friday of 2022.
0:50.3	I'm so happy to be here. I'm so happy to be here. That's why I showed up.
0:56.3	Yeah. Friday. If I'm not happy to be here, I don't show up. That's why on some Fridays you might notice we don't do a new show.

2:13.3	That's right. Ruthless killing machines programmed to deliver your luggage to your room. It's RoboHop.
2:21.3	This is true. This is actually already happening. Let's see the future of hospitality and action.
2:28.3	The robot needs to be trained only once to navigate the lobby and hallways. It even has been adapted to call for an elevator.
