I inserted the non-verbal command "(pauses)" in the middle of a sentence and I think I caused it to have an aneurysm.

It starts with an intro, too. Really strange

I have a hunch they're pulling data from radio shows to give it that "high quality" vibe. Tried running it through this script and hit some weird bugs too:

    [S1] It really sounds as if they've started using NPR to source TTS models
    [S2] Yeah... yeah... it's kind of disturbing (laughs dejectedly).
    [S3] I really wish, that they would just Stop with this.
