| 0:03.7 | On today's episode, me and Michelle briefly discussed my dog surgery. |
| 0:08.1 | It's for about the first three minutes and my son's new fake cough, which is fascinating as kids grow up. |
| 0:14.7 | It sounds like he's smoking a pack of menthols. |
| 0:17.5 | The next 50 minutes, the vast majority of the show, was spent on the diet culture hamster will that so many find themselves in. |
