| 0:10.0 | delicious eat it all and you can't have any. Today we are talking about bitter greens. |
| 0:16.5 | It's kind of a grown-up topic, don't you think? |
| 0:18.6 | It is. |
| 0:19.3 | I feel like, well, all those kids out there |
| 0:21.8 | who like our show. I don like our show I don't know I don't know how do you feel about bitter |
| 0:25.5 | greens kids I don't hear them talking about this part okay |
| 0:29.4 | yeah but I mean sometimes like we let our inner child come out on the show, yeah, sometimes. |
