When you're in Baghdad in that time period, you could just hear the car bombs going off all day, all night, hear the gunshots, hear the gunfights, and it was just bombs, terrorists, suicide bombers all the time.

0:22.3

People coming back off the fuck up, seeing these vehicles getting blown up,

0:26.3

seeing what's left of them, if anything.

0:28.8

I mean, it was, this guy died, this guy died, this guy died, this guy died.

0:33.5

And that's why we were so busy.

0:35.3

We were killing these guys.

0:36.6

They were making the bombs. We were killing the guys that were planting the bombs.

0:39.3

We were killing the guys that were detonating the bombs.

But when I'm doing work that doesn't involve me editing like audio of the show, I try to turn on podcasts and I try to listen to all kinds of shit.

2:28.3

I mean, I listen to like fucking everything. So I saw this come up.
