And now let's start the show. Hey, everybody, it's Nick. And it's Leah. Real quick thing before we get going, we are on a holiday |
| 0:38.2 | break. I am in Maine. And I'm in California. But we don't want to leave you empty handed. Of course, |
| 0:44.4 | we could never do that. So we found the perfect episode from the archives just for you. It |

| 1:21.9 | about that because I was recently telling a story about being splashed in Amsterdam by cheesy |
| 1:27.2 | bleach water. |
| 1:28.1 | And I had forgotten that we have this in common. |
| 1:30.2 | That moment when the splash hits you, oh. |
| 1:33.4 | Oh, it's a wave of all the emotions. |
| 1:36.5 | Disgust. |
| 1:37.3 | Yes. |
| 1:37.9 | Terror. Confusion. |

| 1:40.7 | Abject fear. |
