0:00.0	I had an interesting morning.
0:10.2	I had one of my, well, it's not a real tooth,
0:15.4	but I had all my teeth redone last year with the dentist here,
0:18.8	and I was eating some healthy M&Ms, kind of the organic
0:23.3	whole foods version. So they're watching TV chewing some M&Ms and all of a sudden like one
0:28.4	of my molars just goes poof and pops out. Yeah, it's funny. So I went and had that reinstalled this

1:28.4	Are you nuts? You're missing like a huge piece of the puzzle. And then once we started talking,
1:32.7	I realized like, you know, Jared here, my producer has thyroid issues. And then you were talking
1:40.0	to my wife, Allison, and we don't know if it's thyroid, but she's definitely, you know,
1:43.3	at a stage in life where her hormones are doing different things. And I'm sure we don't know if it's thyroid, but she's definitely at a stage in life
