| 0:18.0 | Hello Ian, how's it going? |
| 0:19.0 | Hello Jason, it's going well. |
| 0:21.0 | The weather here is much nicer than the weather in Florida as I closely look at the |
| 0:26.2 | radar. By the time the podcast comes out on Friday, Hurricane Milton will have moved through from |
| 0:31.8 | Tampa clear across Florida and I hope that the damage is nowhere |

| 1:40.8 | caught on fire after we left and the fire was extinguished before we returned. |
| 1:45.8 | Amazingly, you almost wouldn't have even known. |
