| 0:00.0 | You ever seen a woodpecker in person? |
| 0:08.0 | Those things are massive. |
| 0:11.0 | I grew up watching a cartoon featuring a little woodpecker called Woody Woodpecker. |
| 0:17.0 | You may remember that. |
| 0:19.0 | Woody was this cute, cute little animated bird. And when I saw my first |
| 0:22.8 | woodpecker, real woodpecker in person, it's like, no, that can't be a woodpecker, because |

| 1:42.9 | get in a day? If you have a Fitbit, that's probably one of the first |
