0:00.0	I'm Andy Grammer. Everyone has a story. I just like to skip to the good parts.
0:09.8	For me, this usually includes some discussion of the soul. Why are we here? What happens when we die?
0:15.7	The stuff that for some reason all of us have been trained to shy away from. So this podcast is an opportunity to talk to people

0:27.2	On the podcast today is Mike Posner. This guy is a fascinating character. You know, he's someone

1:16.5	I promise you didn't miss anything good.
1:18.4	The second time was way better.
1:20.0	So get into it.
1:21.2	This is one of my now deep good friends, Mike Posner.
