like,"},{"startTime":1673.84,"endTime":1677.96,"body":"like if there's two players,"},{"startTime":1677.96,"endTime":1683.04,"body":"is sticking to a five

everyone"},{"startTime":1692.04,"endTime":1695.04,"body":"find that two three color lame,"},{"startTime":1692.04,"endTime":1695.04,"body":"that kind of thing."},{"startTime":1695.04,"endTime":1699.64,"body":"But in two players, in theory, like"},{"startTime":1695.04,"endTime":1699.64,"body":"like an even split for a five color
