Only sound I have is on 2 tracks and it’s a bootleg tape with people coughing on it. I want to break it into parts and cut out the coughing and the emcee.

cnn headline news is bashing James Franco and giving Anne Hathaway an A+ but Sheryl Ralph doesn’t like either one. They thought the show sucked basically.
