| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to SciShowTanjans. It's a lightly competitive knowledge showcase. I'm |
| 0:22.5 | your host Hank Green, and join me as always this week, the Science Expert, Sarah E. Reilly. |
| 0:27.6 | And our resident, every man, Sam Schultz. Hi there. The question that, of course, is weighing |
| 0:33.4 | on everybody's minds is if you had $50 billion to buy any company on earth, don't talk about it. |
| 0:43.7 | So all right, here's the actual question I want to ask you. If you had to buy any company, |
| 0:52.0 | the name of which I would recognize, and that the people at home would recognize. So like a company |
| 0:56.8 | that's a household name, what company were forced to buy it, and you had the resources to buy it, |
| 1:01.6 | which company would you be like, that's mine now, y'all. I know what I would do, because I had |

| 1:54.4 | what's binding it all together. It's what's missing in the in the world these days, like just the very |
| 2:00.2 | like specific weird voice. Everything has to be so marketable now, not for me, man. You went |
| 2:05.6 | Dr. Demento on TV. Exactly. Yes. All right, I love that answer. Sarah, have you had thought? |
| 2:13.3 | I was trying to think of something like funny or clever. |
| 2:19.5 | But I think Costco, I like the idea of being the guy to offer a $1.50 hot dog to other people |
