| 0:00.0 | What's up everyone? Welcome back to the podcast. I hope you are having a wonderful day or at least the day's starting off well and today I figured we would continue on in our |
| 0:10.8 | You Can Eat that series which would be following up on that personally an |
| 0:14.8 | episode that showed up yesterday on the podcast we'll talk about a couple |
