0:00.0	Hey, hey, hey, time to put your middle to the test file.
0:05.0	Bapam, badao.
0:06.0	Hey, hey, don't you know you're messing with the best now?
0:11.0	Ah, huh, ah. Just at a cup of soup.
0:22.9	Yeah?
0:23.2	Yeah, a cup of minestroney soup.
0:26.7	The classy cup soup flavor.
0:29.5	Here's the thing I was just thinking, though,
0:31.5	as I was like finishing off my cup of soup, right?
0:35.2	Like that.
0:36.8	Finishing off the dregs with a spoon. Yeah. I thought to myself, it's just soup. Yeah. I still need a spoon. Do you? I mean, do you? You could just put it to your lips and drink it? Drink it like a drink? I know the idea is to drink the soup.
1:11.5	Like a broth. Yeah. But if I just drink the soup, there's so, like, little noodly bits and little bits of desiccated carrot. Like, that's not coming out without the help of cutlery.

1:50.4	transforms it from drinking to eating. Now, you could, I guess, conceivably drink off the spoon.
1:57.4	Oh man. Oh, this is complicated. I suppose you could. Like, if you, if you've just put the spoon in your mouth, right?
2:03.8	Right, right, right. And remove using your lips often as a sort of scraper almost.
2:09.9	Just, you know, in the traditional fashion, you're eating soup, right?
2:13.8	Right, right.
2:14.6	If you get the soup on the spoon, then pull out a small straw and suck it from the spoon.
