| 0:00.0 | Are you someone who doesn't take life too seriously? Do you sometimes find that a shot of whiskey |
| 0:08.1 | isn't only deserved but needed? If you said yes to either of those, welcome to the Whiskey and Lace |
| 0:13.2 | podcast, where we have honest chats with everyday people, shit shows, and all. I'm your host, Erica |
| 0:18.9 | Althus, and I'm here to empower you to be the best version of |
| 0:22.1 | yourself and perhaps share in a shot of whiskey. Now pour yourself a glass of wine and let's go. |
| 0:30.0 | Holy shit, we are in season two, episode one of the Whiskey and Lace podcast. And my first guest is the long-awaited guest, my brother, Tony. |

| 1:20.4 | Tony's number four of the six and I'm number five of the six. So what would your perspective be |
| 1:26.3 | on how our life was growing up? |
| 1:29.1 | Crazy, obviously. We had four kids under the age of five, I think, Mom had. And I was a fourth |
| 1:34.6 | one. So I'm guessing there was a lot of unchanged diapers that I had to deal with at a young age |
| 1:39.6 | that I don't remember. But if I had to guess, that's probably what happened. But it was awesome. |
