0:09.0	episode 71. It's not really episode 71. This is actually our word test episode for the last 10
0:16.9	episodes so this is going from episode 61 to 70 and I'm exhausted this evening. I just I did a 10k run this evening and I did it
0:29.1	rather stupidly in the sun and it was quite hot and I did better than I thought I was going to do but now my

2:32.0	and just quickly think, okay, okay yeah I know that one.
2:35.2	So yes let's begin.
2:38.6	So Spartan.
