Transcript: Liz is wearing her Aikido gi and hakama (Japanese formal wear that looks like an awesome pleated skirt). Liz: Why do I feel so terrible and itchy?

A small spider crawls up onto Liz’s hakama. Liz: Oh look, a spider! Liz pulls up her hakama to reveal two legs entirely covered in spiders. Liz: It’s all spiders!! Liz‘s hakama is back in place.
