I think we can trust them.

Wait, you guys are on your lunch break?
16:02
Can we at least give you a ride back? I mean, this old gal's still got some gas in the tank.
16:08
Ignore that.
16:44
All right.
16:44
And it goes a little something like this.
16:46
[clears throat] It was a stormy night.
16:49
The wind was howling.
16:51
The trees shook.
16:53
Lightning flashed as Charlie went to his room.
16:56
Suddenly, he heard something coming from the attic.

[laughs] In this getting to know you game show, I'll be visited by some of the world's most fascinating people to get the wows and the whats of their lives, from cartoonist and graphic novelist Raina Telgemeier of the Smile series to everyday extraordinary kids just like you.

Impressively boring.
19:23
Yeah, look at this place.
19:25
No trees, no flourish, just a nondescript, gray rectangle concrete building.

Oh, is that, is that a sculpture of the institute's founder?

So what did you think of the talk, Mindy?
27:57
Well, I would have rather been doing anything else, but I had no idea that all those days I spent just bumming around the house bored out of my bonker balls, I was actually filling up my brain tank with creative juices.

They did it with a very special piece of scientific equipment.
14:14
Huh.
14:16
Okay.
14:17
Everyone stand back.
14:19
[clears throat] What I hold here in my hands is a very special piece of scientific equipment.
18:46
Huh, so mystery solved, I guess?
18:49
Well, half solved.
18:50
You see, scientists still don't know why these animals are making those noises.

Everyone on Reggie in one, two, three.
11:50
[panting] All right.
11:53
Hit it, Reg.

If you want me to stop, robot, you'll have to make me.
