16
00:00:53,324 --> 00:00:55,485
Speaker 2: who's a lovely producer on the show, I didn't realize

17

Speaker 2: She came in and she started. She was screaming earlier

20
00:01:01,565 --> 00:01:04,045
Speaker 2: when we were talking on here. Not unusual for the

21
00:01:04,045 --> 00:01:07,205
Speaker 2: producer to be screaming at me, mainly about something I'm

22
00:01:07,245 --> 00:01:10,884
Speaker 2: getting wrong or saying. But we were getting the name.

23
00:01:11,405 --> 00:01:13,765
Speaker 2: The name we thought was Arnie. Isn't the name of

24
00:01:13,845 --> 00:01:15,084

Speaker 2: the movie, and I was like, what do you mean. Yeah,

50
00:02:19,885 --> 00:02:22,405
Speaker 2: apparently it's a test to see Howard integrate with the team.

Speaker 3: Well, I got to choose which biopic I wanted, So

58
00:02:43,085 --> 00:02:46,645
Speaker 3: I chose Abba, So then fag Nitha. I chose Sidney Sweeney,

59
00:02:46,645 --> 00:02:47,645
Speaker 3: which I might change now.

60
00:02:47,685 --> 00:02:50,365
Speaker 1: But why did you called him Sidney Sweeney? Because that

61
00:02:50,445 --> 00:02:56,725
Speaker 1: Jean's advert pretty much? We live in an outrage age,

62
00:02:56,765 --> 00:03:02,045
