| 0:05.6 | Body Facts with Joseph Scott Moore. |
| 0:10.1 | I have this odd habit. |
| 0:12.9 | And granted, I'm kind of an odd bird anyway. |
| 0:17.7 | You know, who in their right mind would become a death investigator and spend most of their time around the dead, right? |
| 0:25.0 | But I do have this odd habit of whenever I go to certain locations that I previously inhabited in my life, |
