0:00.0	What's up, everybody? Welcome back to a couple things.
0:02.3	With Sean and Andrew.
0:38.0	Are you ready to talk about episode three? I am, I am. But first, let's get into some life updates. I have a Lisp. Sean has a Lisp. Why do you have a Lisp? I got Envisaline today, like literally 20 minutes ago. Why did you do that? I had no choice, evidently, from my dentist. Honestly, I can't notice a list, but it didn't sound like you have one, but you are talking weird with your bottom lip. That's the only difference. Yeah. But what I'm sure of, more than anything, is you're more beautiful today than you've ever been in your life. Thank you for me. Because of the imbezzeline.
0:39.6	No?
0:40.2	No, just because you're you.
0:41.9	My, thank you.
0:44.2	My, our dentist.
0:46.0	He was also like a really good friend so like we can joke around and like we know each other
0:51.3	really well.
0:52.5	He basically has been hinting at braces since i started going to him
0:56.9	and i'm always like my teeth don't bother me like they're imperfect but like my teeth are fine
1:05.7	i've never had to do orthodontic work and this this past visit, he's like, it's time.
1:13.1	I was like, what do you mean?
1:14.1	He's like, it's time we should do inviseline.
1:17.0	And I was like, no, it really doesn't bother me that much.
1:19.5	Like, I'm totally fine.
1:20.5	And he's like, I don't think you understand what I'm saying.
1:23.3	It's no longer an option.
1:25.7	And I said, doc. I, like, I don't really care. Like, trying to, like, joke around with him. And then he got serious. He's like, you can either do Invisaline now, or you can push it five more years, and I'll put metal braces on your face. And I was like, okay. Wow, that took a turn. Got serious real quick. Yeah. And then he went down this rubble hole of like, what will actually happen to my teeth if I don't do it. And I was like, oh, okay. And that conversation happened like last week. So everything happened quick. Yeah. You know, I had braces for eight years of my life. How is... I just went to the orthodontas for the first time, and I keep saying this to them.
2:04.1	And they're like, I just went to the orthodontist for the first time and I keep saying this to them.
2:04.1	And they're like, I don't know how that's even possible.
2:07.9	Well, you know, the orthodonic technology has really come a long way.
