    I hope it's not coming across as a rude question, but could the TM crew manually subtitle Rosie's speech rather than rely on Google's atrocious auto-generated version of it? I tend to struggle with speech sometimes even when it is regular people speaking, and understanding her is plain impossible for me on several occasions. I just can't make out the jokes but I'd really like to since she's incredibly funny on the moments where I do actually make it out.
