0:05.3	We don't have to put it in the episode.
0:06.6	We can cut them.
0:07.3	I absolutely will not.
0:09.2	Dang it. All right. Fair enough. Fair enough. And I don't trust you. I'm going to be honest with you. I don't trust it. That is very fair. You have a great reputation. you seem like good guys.

0:32.0	This is going to be such a lousy show after fucking hanging with a Cunning for an hour, dude. We got some good stuff to talk about, Travis.
