Transcript excerpt

We all love a good comeback. I would know. So when I found out that Jimmy John's Pickle Witch was making a comeback, I thought to myself, so glad I'm not the only one. Better era has taught me something. Like that one time I was at summer camp, and my knees kept giving in. Now an iconic move for an entire generation. Or that time the entire Internet thought I had a secret twin locked in the basement. Yeah, she's staying in the best. But now I'm in my favorite era, my pickle era, because Jimmy John's brought back the pickle witch, this time with even more pickle witches to love. Perfect for a pickle freak like me. She's really good.
