| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to Sci Guys, the show where we talk about the crazy, weird, and wonderful stories from the science world. |
| 0:14.2 | I'm Corey, and as always, I'm joined by my co-host, the lifting Luke Cutford. |
| 0:30.3 | That's going to be weird for the podcast listeners. |
| 0:31.4 | That was me lifting. |
| 0:33.0 | I was lifting a little baby Yoda. |
| 0:34.4 | Sorry, what's he called? |
| 0:34.8 | Grogu. |

No, I don't. What a funny joke. Thank you for taking us down that. Thank you for taking us down that dead end. I call her bonbon. Because she's so sweet. |
| 1:29.9 | Yes, exactly. |
| 1:30.8 | She's a little sweetie. |
| 1:31.7 | We speak about this a lot. |
| 1:40.7 | She and I have had her differences, right? Well, I won't tell you what she said about you, but, you know. You're kidding me. It's not safe of the podcast. Right, okay, we'll talk about this afterwards. I swear to God, honestly. |
