          NOTE: As a general rule, when Dan says a nonsense YOLO word,
          it appears as L3 TEXT. When he explains the word's meaning,
          the letters being explained change color in real-time.

                              DAN
                    Hey, I'm Dan Gurewitch from inside
                    the Internet. Don't know if you've
                    heard, but there's a pretty hip new
                    slang word going around. It's
                    "YOLO," and it stands for "You Only
                    Live Once," as in:

                    Sure, I'll do another shot.  YOLO!

          Dan does a shot and immediately WINCES/COUGHS/DRIBBLES.

                              DAN
                    Well, I did some research, and YOLO
                    is just the tip of the iceberg. 
                    People are also saying "YOLOLO,"
                    for, "You only LOL once."
