| 0:14.2 | hasn't talked about before on podcast. So you really are going to want to listen into this one. |
| 0:18.8 | But first I want to tell you about a few cool things that I have discovered lately. As I talked |
| 0:24.2 | about on previous podcasts on entomology, I've actually been eating crickets literally on my |
| 0:29.9 | salad sprinkling whole roasted crickets. Now, if that turns up your nose and you want to |

| 0:42.0 | Bars developed by recipes from a three-mischel-and-stard chef and packed with real food ingredients |
