0:02.0	Hello everybody and welcome to today's episode of Stand Up where my guest is the legendary actor voiceover artist and Buddhist priest's author.
0:13.0	It's Peter Coyote. He is back. Good friend of mine and the show over the years and many of you had reached out to me over the past few months,
0:22.8	and even the year, I haven't talked to him in a while, and said, where's Peter Coyote?
0:26.8	Get Peter Coyote on.
0:28.1	So to Mark Nolte and to everybody else who said that you wanted to hear from them, I got him.
0:34.3	It's November 1st, as I lay this down down the day after my 49th birthday and I decided to skip the news today.

1:27.3	But today, it's just the interview here on a Friday, a couple days before the most important
