* DepravedBisexual:
-->'''Tish'''''[explaining Stör's sexual orientation]'': I'm looking for a very particular woman, but absolutely any man.
-->'''George''': This is pansexuality in the sense that if you're a man, you can literally look like a pan.
--> '''Steve''': Or like you've been hit with one.



* RealTime: An out-of-universe example. Typically, ActualPlay podcast episodes last between one or two hours. Minus cuts for breaks, each ''Doomsayers'' episode is as long as the session it was recorded from, meaning that episode length varies quite dramatically, currently between just shy of three hours and ''four-and-a-half'' hours.
