| 0:00.0 | This stuff is really gross. It's really, um, it's like the opposite of, uh, tops gum. |
| 0:06.4 | What is that? Is that all? Well, I think I've got one of those, uh, uh, small |
| 0:11.6 | bash artisanal gums, you know, it's in like a box. It looks like it's very expensive. |
| 0:16.6 | Yeah, yeah. But you had a mint and that made me envious. Wait, I've got, um, pretty good, |
| 0:21.2 | pretty good mints in here, actually. Kind of mints you got. These are, uh, what are these |
| 0:26.2 | things? Pyraments, pyramids, they're called pyramid pyramids. Hmm, they come in a tin. |
| 0:33.1 | They come in like an outtoid style tin, pyramids, peppermint, with the beneficial herbs of parsley, |
| 0:42.0 | clorella and chamomile and real mint oil. The clorella is not cholera, not to be confused |

| 1:26.0 | Hmm, I think. No, it really does. I think it's human nature. I think whatever you see |
| 1:29.2 | someone else doing, you want to do it. Yes. Absolutely. Even if you just know that someone has |
| 1:34.0 | done it like this, you think you better go and try and get it yourself. I think people are like that |
| 1:38.5 | with cars. You see somebody with a car, you want a car. Anyway, it's like, yeah, you remember the |
