| 0:32.3 | You know, Anna, I had a allergic reaction last night and my face so much like crazy. So if I look |
| 0:38.1 | a little puffy, it's because of that. It's not because I'm hungover. You don't look puffy at all, |

| 1:37.2 | You should go see a doctor. It might be something other than a good reaction. Maybe I should. |
| 1:40.5 | Yeah, yeah. But, geez. Yeah, I mean, one time I got my dogs like, |
| 1:46.8 | flea medication in my eye, because after putting this like topical thing on him, he like decided |
