| 0:00.0 | What looks easy, peasy, lemon squeezy? |
| 0:03.3 | But is actually difficult, difficult, lemon difficult. |
| 0:07.8 | Work. I'm a lawyer and had a client call saying she needs a hand with a merger, but |
| 0:12.3 | don't worry, it's super easy-peasy lemon squeezy. That project took six months and I almost had |
| 0:18.3 | a breakdown. She didn't understand why the bill was so high |
| 0:21.5 | since it was so easy. Playing the triangle. A lot of my non-musician friends joke about how easy |
| 0:28.7 | it is to play it. Then they actually hold the damn thing and they look real dumb. You guys laugh |

| 1:24.0 | that's a bird? Those capture things on Google. I can honestly never read them and the website always thinks I'm a robot. I swear when I have to select photos with street |
| 1:27.8 | signs and one overlaps just barely into another square, I consistently fail them. |
| 1:33.3 | A basic physical exam at the doctor. Looks like a simple look at the throat, listen to the chest |
| 1:38.3 | thing. Yep, they have a heart all right. When in actuality, doctors spend thousands of hours |
| 1:42.9 | practicing it so that when you come in |
| 1:44.4 | with a murmur or a funny-looking kid syndrome, they can recognize it immediately. And yes, there are |
