  },
  {
   "speaker": "AUNTIE NO FILTER",

  },
  {
   "speaker": "DEV REDLINE",

  },
  {
   "speaker": "BENNY",
   "line": "Jesse plugged the thunder machine, lamp, phone charger, and heated robe into one orange cord."
  },

   "speaker": "TRAILER GUY",
   "line": "That cord powers a cleaning machine with suction strong enough to remove a tenant's last excuse."
  },
  {
   "speaker": "BROOKLYN PROFESSOR",

  },
  {
   "speaker": "DEV REDLINE",

  },
  {
   "speaker": "MARCUS HEAT",

  },

   "speaker": "TRAILER GUY",

  {
   "speaker": "BROOKLYN PROFESSOR",
   "line": "You contain receipts without categories."
  },
  {
   "speaker": "DEV REDLINE",
   "line": "New joke pass. Setup: Jesse claims he is the human element. Assumption: humanity means warmth. Misdirect: his unique contribution is administrative damage."
  },
  {
   "speaker": "KODA",
   "line": "Punch: I married him for his heart. Touring revealed the heart travels inside a carry-on full of loose batteries and mustard."
  },
  {
   "speaker": "MARCUS HEAT",

  },
  {
   "speaker": "AUNTIE NO FILTER",
   "line": "Second tag: Refrigerate after bullshit."
  },
  {
   "speaker": "TRAILER GUY",

  },
  {
   "speaker": "TRAILER GUY",

   "speaker": "AUNTIE NO FILTER",
   "line": "Marriage gift shop closed for repairs."
  },

  {
   "speaker": "KODA",
   "line": "Do not ruin the evidence."
