Patton Oswalt is Not Dead, Christina P on Tom Segura Divorce, Ricky Gervais’ Alley Cats Drops
Johnny Mac hosts Daily Comedy News, noting a false online rumor that Patton Oswalt died, which Oswalt mocked and which Twitter corrected. Christina P discussed her divorce from Tom Segura on Your Mom’s House, saying they tried for years for the kids, there’s no animosity, and “we’re cool.” Williams Grove Speedway partnered with Netflix’s Tires starring Shane Gillis for fan appreciation night. Netflix releases Ricky Gervais’ six-part, 15-minutes-each animated comedy Alley Cats featuring Diane Morgan, with the cast recording together. Bob Marley’s new bit references “furries,” alongside a past Maine middle-school incident. Seth Meyers performs at SNHU Arena supporting two New Hampshire children’s advocacy groups. Vogue profiles Mary Beth Barone’s political, women-and-queer-focused standup and her Netflix-special approach; Johnny’s “comedy stock market” says sell Ted Lasso and Barone, buy Pete Correale, and teases a Jay Leno deep dive and Leno driving Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias’ preserved 1993 Mustang on Jay Leno’s Garage, plus Guardian Q&A with critic Brian Logan on comedy.

00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.359
Callaroga Shark media boy. Somebody craked my headphones blew my
2
00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:13.759
ears out, and I don't know who because I'm the
3
00:00:13.839 --> 00:00:16.839
only one who uses this laptop. Hello, I'm Johnny Mack
4
00:00:16.879 --> 00:00:19.760
with your daily comedy news. Hey, good news star trek Ruiner.
5
00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:23.719
Patton Oswald is not dead. Apparently there was a rumor
6
00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:27.320
circulating online that he had died. Patton said, yeah, this
7
00:00:27.359 --> 00:00:29.719
has been very sudden. I'm trying to adjust, asking for
8
00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:33.640
privacy as I ascend. The original post included a black
9
00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:36.479
and white photo of Patton Oswald alongside the caption Seriously
10
00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:39.439
f twenty twenty six rest in Peace. Twitter added a
11
00:00:39.479 --> 00:00:43.479
note Patton Oswald pictured is alive. Good news for Patton
12
00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:46.200
that we got good comments. One person wrote rip Patton,
13
00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:48.520
you were pretty good on King of Queens and others said, well,
14
00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:52.320
there goes my dream of Ratitue two. Christina p has
15
00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:55.000
opened up about her divorce from Tom Sigora. She did
16
00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:58.399
this on the podcast on the Your Mom's House podcast.
17
00:00:58.439 --> 00:01:00.200
He said the two try to work things out for
18
00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:02.719
several years for the sake of the children family, but
19
00:01:02.799 --> 00:01:05.159
ultimately couldn't make the marriage work. She says there's no
20
00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:08.120
blood between them. As she put it, We're cool, dude,
21
00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:10.159
She told fans, She's still there for them and they'll
22
00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:13.120
get through this BS, just like everything else they've weathered together.
23
00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:15.719
Do you like Shane Gillis? Do you like car racing?
24
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:18.879
A big event today, Williams Grove Speedway announced that it
25
00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:21.959
has partnered with the Netflix comedy series Tires, which of
26
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:25.239
course stars Shane Gillison. Johnny Mack should probab watch those
27
00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:29.239
final four episodes from last season. I just got distracted. Well.
28
00:01:29.239 --> 00:01:33.439
At the Williams Grove Speedway, it's fan appreciation night as
29
00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:36.120
far as I understand. You'll get free chips and candy
30
00:01:36.359 --> 00:01:39.439
courtesy of Martin's Potato Chips, hose Heads and J and
31
00:01:39.560 --> 00:01:42.079
S Classics. Fans at the event will have access to
32
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:44.280
the backpit area from five point thirty to six fifteen
33
00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:47.680
to meet the drivers out on Netflix today, it's Ricky Gerviz,
34
00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:50.680
Allie Katz, Diane Morgan is part of the cast there.
35
00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:55.079
Some podcasters have a crush on Diane Allie Kat six episodes,
36
00:01:55.159 --> 00:01:57.480
fifteen minutes seat so she can blow through that and uh,
37
00:01:57.840 --> 00:01:59.359
can you do that an hour or no? That'd be
38
00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:01.040
one two three for an hour and a half. It'll
39
00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:02.239
take you an hour and a half to do that.
40
00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:04.280
That was very Letterman what I just did there. The
41
00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:06.879
six part comedy fifteen minutes each follows a band of
42
00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:09.800
foul mouth feral cats from across British society as they
43
00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:13.159
search for companionship. We're reflecting on the absurdities of modern life.
44
00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:16.319
Diane Morgan, who's some podcasters have a crush on does
45
00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:18.840
one of the voices, Diane said, I know, you see
46
00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:20.759
the cats and you think, oh, they're cute and lovely,
47
00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:22.800
and they have these little adventures and then they open
48
00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:26.360
their mouths. We learn that the cast recorded together rather
49
00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:29.439
than separately, and as Diane says, it's basically the cast
50
00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:32.360
of Afterlife again with a few new editions. He credits
51
00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:35.479
Ricky for keeping spirits high on set and says, despite
52
00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:38.360
Ricky's experience, he laughs so much during recording that scenes
53
00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:42.639
had to be Redone from Mainwire, Bob Marley is talking
54
00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:45.520
about the furries. Apparently Bob has a new bit that
55
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:49.080
he's comfortable with the Main Wire talking about. So spoilers
56
00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:51.680
if you're gonna go see Bob Marley tonight. Bob says,
57
00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:54.599
kids nowadays think they're animals, fur burgers. The audience laughs
58
00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:56.919
at that, apparently, and Bob says, oh, what are they called?
59
00:02:57.039 --> 00:03:00.360
The audience he goes thought furries. Bob says, look, can
60
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:02.159
be whatever they want to be. I've got my own problems,
61
00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:04.879
as you can obviously tell. We learned from main Wire
62
00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:07.680
that furries made news a year ago in Maine at
63
00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:10.319
the Mount Blue Middle School in Farmington, when a student
64
00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:13.439
began barking like a dog at another student who regularly
65
00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:15.840
crawled around the school on all fours, hissing and other
66
00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:19.560
students and openly and nafying as a furry. The barking
67
00:03:19.639 --> 00:03:23.120
student was suspended for five days. We'll keep it up
68
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:25.840
in New England with Seth Myers. He's up there tonight
69
00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:29.919
at the s NHU Arena in New Hampshire. Seth Meyers
70
00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:33.000
show will support two New Hampshire groups, one Court appointed
71
00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:35.919
Special Advocates of New Hampshire and two the Granite State
72
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:38.560
Children's Alliance. Seth Meyers said, it's going to be a
73
00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:40.039
night where we're gonna have a little bit of messaging
74
00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:42.280
about how important the organizations are, and mostly it's going
75
00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:43.520
to be a night for people to come and see
76
00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:46.680
some stand up comedy. Vogue went with the attention in
77
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:49.879
getting headline Mary Beth Barone is ready to piss off
78
00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:52.520
the right people. That's a good headline that got my attention.
79
00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:55.560
Mary Beth Barone tells Vogue, my stand up is very reflective.
80
00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:57.479
Before I'm at currently, I know that I wanted to
81
00:03:57.520 --> 00:03:59.599
speak on politics, but finding ways of getting there that
82
00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:02.919
you wouldn't necessarily think, presenting one idea and then relating
83
00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:05.039
it back to something political. I also wanted the comedy
84
00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:07.800
to feel super specific, and my goal is always to
85
00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:09.919
make women and queer people laugh. That's the same mission
86
00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:13.400
they've carried on from thought provoking Netflix. Telb you basically
87
00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:15.039
have three minutes to show people who you are to
88
00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:17.399
make them stick around for the rest of the special. Spoiler.
89
00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:19.800
She mentions that in the special, and as I mentioned
90
00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:22.439
previously on this podcast, I took the challenge and went, yeah,
91
00:04:22.439 --> 00:04:24.519
I'm not interested, and I bailed on it. I'm sure
92
00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:27.319
other people love it. My wife mentioned to me we
93
00:04:27.319 --> 00:04:28.879
were in the car and we're talking. You know, you
94
00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:31.160
ever you ever been in a car worth your spouse
95
00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:32.759
and you talk. You know, this is a thing a
96
00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:35.160
couple might do. So I don't know, we were talking
97
00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:38.079
about basically everything the podcast comedy. I don't know what
98
00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:40.519
we read on the internet, and she said, Netflix is
99
00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:42.399
showing me some comedian, that's all she said, And I
100
00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:46.120
went Mary Beth Baron. My wife said pretty, I'm like, yep,
101
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:49.360
that's her. She asked will I like it? And I said, now,
102
00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:51.040
it's probably too dirty for you, and then my wife
103
00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:53.120
moved on. But it was interesting that the Netflix algo
104
00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:55.800
was pushing Mary Beth Baron at my wife, who went
105
00:04:55.839 --> 00:04:58.839
back to watching shows about people being murdered. Mary Beth
106
00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:00.519
Barone said, I had a really con consider how I
107
00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:02.560
wanted to present myself to a new audience. What's the
108
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:04.240
material that feels really important to me? What does it
109
00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:05.600
feel like I want to say right now? That was
110
00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:07.959
the guiding light. I've watched a lot of women's special
111
00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:10.439
but you know there aren't many, and especially Amy Schumers
112
00:05:10.519 --> 00:05:12.560
Live at the Apollo was very influential when I was
113
00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:15.000
just starting. I've always been inspired by her comedic point
114
00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:17.240
of view. As for the final cut of the special,
115
00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:19.240
Mary Beth Burn said, I'm proud of myself for doing
116
00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:21.040
the jokes that were more of a high wire act
117
00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:23.519
confronting Edgy and dark topics. I wasn't afraid to take
118
00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:26.319
risks with the jokes because the discourse is always in
119
00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:28.079
the back of my mind. My desire to say these
120
00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:31.560
things just outweighed whatever the potential response might be. Could
121
00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:33.680
be a joke about Crystal Leia or a zempet or
122
00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:36.040
my Jack Russell Terrier. Bailey, who I grew up with
123
00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:38.639
and describe as a domestic terrorist, must have been the
124
00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:40.639
Irish in her. Took me a while to find that
125
00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:43.399
last beat about being responsible for seventeen flat tires on
126
00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:45.800
three car bombs. My mom's side is Irish. I think
127
00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:48.560
they've got good humor about themselves. Maybe it's being a Gemini,
128
00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:50.600
but there's a weird pushbawl with me. I don't want
129
00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:52.240
to upset people. What if I'm doing my job right,
130
00:05:52.319 --> 00:06:03.199
it's going to just about upsetting the right people. Comedy
131
00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:08.079
stock Market. Every Friday on this program, I announced that
132
00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:10.319
we're going to bomb. I ran and I manipulate the
133
00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:12.360
stock market, and then it makes the insider trades, and
134
00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:14.399
then Monday morning, I go psych, we didn't do that
135
00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:16.759
at all. We almost have a deal. Oh no, that's
136
00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:19.199
a different that's a different guy. That's not me. What
137
00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:23.720
I do. What I do is I look for value
138
00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:26.879
in the comedians, and we try and sell low and
139
00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:30.959
buy high. No market manipulation here. I'm not that powerful yet.
140
00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:34.959
But hey, maybe someday this show will be so big
141
00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:36.879
that I'll be like, hey, you guys ought to be
142
00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:39.600
into comedian Smedley Jones, And then I'll go on like
143
00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:41.879
Calshie and buy some stock in or real life to
144
00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:44.920
make some money. That might be an idea. John, you Deigress,
145
00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:47.120
who's on the comedy stock market this week? I don't
146
00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:50.199
have a lot for you. Let's sell ted Lasso. The
147
00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:52.920
reviews are not good. I'm not excited about it. I
148
00:06:52.959 --> 00:06:55.920
haven't watched it yet. I've had time. But my wife
149
00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:57.600
and I we were in the car, you know sometimes
150
00:06:57.600 --> 00:06:59.680
you're in the car where with your spouse and you talk.
151
00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:01.759
You'd done this, Yes, we covered this in the first
152
00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:03.519
half of the podcast. John, we all agreed that's the
153
00:07:03.519 --> 00:07:06.120
thing a couple might do. Anyway, we were talking about
154
00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:07.720
ted Lasso, and we were like, yeah, I mean, I
155
00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:09.600
guess we'll watch it at some point, but like we've
156
00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:12.040
moved on. It was too long. You wrapped up the
157
00:07:12.040 --> 00:07:15.120
show and just we don't care. So let's sell Ted Lasso,
158
00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:19.680
Let's sell Mary Beth Baron because they went full court
159
00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:21.920
press for a week. There were a lot of big
160
00:07:21.959 --> 00:07:24.879
time shiny articles here. Pr team got it done. But
161
00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:27.480
before I logged on today, I went on Netflix to
162
00:07:27.480 --> 00:07:29.560
see if that special was still in the top ten,
163
00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:32.959
and it was not. That fell off pretty quickly and
164
00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:35.720
they targeted my wife, and my wife's like, eh so,
165
00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:38.360
I don't know. I think Mary Beth Baron gave it
166
00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:40.519
a shot, but let's sell. Let's sell a little bit
167
00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:43.199
high on Mary Beth Baron and John, you're very negative
168
00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:45.560
this week. Should we buy somebody, Let's buy some stock
169
00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:48.560
in Pete Corielli. He's got a new special on YouTube.
170
00:07:48.600 --> 00:07:51.199
He hangs out with Sebastian Maniscalco, who might shave his head,
171
00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:53.720
and the gator is very, very funny, and he's one
172
00:07:53.720 --> 00:07:55.879
of those guys. It's just a matter of time that
173
00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:59.000
Pete's gonna put together the right material and the right
174
00:07:59.040 --> 00:08:01.160
platform and everybody is going to be like, oh my god,
175
00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:04.160
Pete Corielly is amazing, and I'm gonna be like, yeah,
176
00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:06.319
that's why he was on Jim Brewers Show It's Serious
177
00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:09.600
twenty five years ago or whenever this happens in this story,
178
00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:12.120
all right, So sell ted Lasso, sell Mary Beth burrown
179
00:08:12.199 --> 00:08:15.360
by Pete Corielly. Tomorrow on this program, the Deep Dives
180
00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:17.360
are back after a one week break. I got notes
181
00:08:17.399 --> 00:08:19.240
people like the Deep Dives, and I'm like, okay, I'll
182
00:08:19.240 --> 00:08:21.439
work a little harder. They do take a minute to
183
00:08:21.439 --> 00:08:24.399
put together. That's fine. And since tomorrow is Jay Leno
184
00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:27.600
Day in Burbank, we will take a look at Jay Leno,
185
00:08:27.839 --> 00:08:29.759
but not the Tonight show stuff. So noe, we're not
186
00:08:29.759 --> 00:08:31.360
gonna do Dave and Jay, and we're not gonna do
187
00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:33.320
Conan and Jay. I'm gonna do that in the fall.
188
00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:34.919
I have a plan. In the fall. I want to
189
00:08:34.960 --> 00:08:37.320
do a whole series on late night talk shows, and
190
00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:39.360
the hosts, or at least the ones that I care about,
191
00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:41.279
I'm not gonna do them all. And I'm gonna get
192
00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:43.200
in trouble because there's a few that, like everybody else
193
00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:45.480
cares about and I have nothing to say about. So
194
00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:47.240
I'm gonna leave them out. We'll get there. We'll get there,
195
00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:50.279
and I don't mean Seth Myers. We'll get there. But
196
00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:53.679
tomorrow's Jay Leno Day, both in Burbank and on the podcast.
197
00:08:53.759 --> 00:08:57.279
Speaking of Jay Leno, he recently got behind the wheel
198
00:08:57.399 --> 00:09:01.000
of an exceptionally preserved nineteen ninety three word Mustang GT
199
00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:06.000
convertible owned by Gabriel Fluffy Iglesias. The car has fewer
200
00:09:06.039 --> 00:09:09.360
than five hundred miles on it. Wow. Gabe bought the
201
00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:12.120
Mustang because it represents the late eighties and early nineties
202
00:09:12.159 --> 00:09:14.200
cars he admired growing up. Plus he's got a lot
203
00:09:14.240 --> 00:09:16.720
of money. When the car appeared on Jay Leno's garage,
204
00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:18.679
it had four hundred and sixty eight miles on it.
205
00:09:18.679 --> 00:09:23.039
That's amazing. Gabe has no intention of keeping the Odomeino there.
206
00:09:23.080 --> 00:09:26.759
He replaced the original tires, yeah, thirty year old tires probably,
207
00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:29.399
and then Jay and Gabe took it out onto Southern
208
00:09:29.399 --> 00:09:32.480
California Roads to find out if it still drives like
209
00:09:32.519 --> 00:09:34.879
it did in nineteen ninety three. We were told that
210
00:09:34.960 --> 00:09:37.679
under the hoods, it's Ford's five point zero leter High
211
00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:39.480
Output V eight, also known as the three zero two
212
00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:41.440
cubic and small block. It was rated at two hundred
213
00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:43.480
and twenty five horsepower when it was new, and it
214
00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:45.440
sends powder to the real wheels through a five speed
215
00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:48.559
manual transmission. Do you guys do that Jay has upgraded
216
00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:51.600
the sound system in the trunk. We were told the
217
00:09:51.639 --> 00:09:54.360
sound system occupies much of the luggage space and has
218
00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:57.480
a playful touch without altering the car's basic mechanical character.
219
00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:01.720
Jay Leno was impressed and I thought this was interesting.
220
00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:04.919
In The Guardian, they have a comedy critic, Brian Logan,
221
00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:06.840
and he did a little Q and A with the audience,
222
00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:09.120
and the audience asked to comedy critic Brian Logan, after
223
00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:11.480
years of reviewing comedy, do you still get belly laughs.
224
00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:13.080
I've talked about this in the past. I call it
225
00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:16.720
Emperor of Rome syndrome. I can logically understand something is
226
00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:19.399
very funny, and I will say to you that's hilarious,
227
00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:21.960
but I don't laugh. I get this. Let's see what
228
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:25.399
Brian Logan says. There's no point pretending that after years
229
00:10:25.399 --> 00:10:27.600
of comedy watching, some of the base level mechanics of
230
00:10:27.639 --> 00:10:30.039
comedy have lost their power to surprise. But the best
231
00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:32.440
comedians don't resort to the base levels, or if they do,
232
00:10:32.879 --> 00:10:35.639
they so deply reinvent or conceal or re engineer them
233
00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:37.679
that there's a surprise and delight to seeing that process
234
00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:40.480
and action. The comedy I get most excited by is
235
00:10:40.480 --> 00:10:42.360
the stuff that makes me laugh or gasp but not
236
00:10:42.519 --> 00:10:45.120
know why. I love the sensation of puzzling out why
237
00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:47.799
I've just found something so startling or funny or unexpected.
238
00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:50.279
I love to get to write about it. So yes,
239
00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:52.720
I still get non infrequent wows and a huge sense
240
00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:55.159
of pleasure and privilege to be seeing and writing about comedy.
241
00:10:55.600 --> 00:10:58.159
I feel you. He was also asked, do you agree
242
00:10:58.159 --> 00:11:00.600
that in Edinburgh and elsewhere the almost come lee reliance
1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.359
2
00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:13.759
3
00:00:13.839 --> 00:00:16.839
4
00:00:16.879 --> 00:00:19.760
5
00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:23.719
6
00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:27.320
7
00:00:27.359 --> 00:00:29.719
8
00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:33.640
9
00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:36.479
10
00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:39.439
11
00:00:39.479 --> 00:00:43.479
12
00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:46.200
