| 0:00.0 | Time spent a week with Jimmy Olson or I really have a lot of free time. |
| 0:06.8 | Hello, everyone. |
| 0:08.0 | It's been a while since I've done one of these over a year. |
| 0:10.5 | I think almost a year and three, four months. |
| 0:14.8 | So you might be wondering, why am I doing one again? |
| 0:17.1 | Why did I just stop in the first place? |
| 0:18.9 | Or you don't care at all. In fact, you're wondering |
