0:00.0	Hello everybody and welcome to a new episode of the Min-Mack Show, place about games, everybody, and welcome to a new episode of The MinMAC Show,
0:23.5	a place about games, friends, and getting better.
0:25.6	My name is Ben Hansen, and I'm in the year 2025, and I'm joined by Leo Vader.
0:29.9	Hello.
0:30.9	And Jacob Geller.
