0:08.7

Hi, Mickey.

0:11.1

Hey, Bob.

0:12.9

Hey, what's you holding there.

0:14.1

It looks like cruditets.

0:15.6

Would you like some cruditay, Bob?

0:17.7

Is that, is it, is the S silent crudite?

0:20.4

Is that plural yet with a silent S? I believe so.

0:26.4

I'm well I defer to you on all things elitist. Did you just call it crudite or do you know why I'm

Also, I also use of the word crudetee, I believe, is considered elitist. I'm not so sure, but I'm not sure.

1:35.9

Oz pronounced it, both used it and pronounced it correctly, whereas I just used it. So I could get elected in Pennsylvania.

1:41.4
