0:00.0	And here we are.
0:09.3	Welcome, everybody.
0:10.7	My name is Ian Martin Allison.
0:12.4	You might already know that if you're checking out this podcast.
0:15.8	The SBL podcast, typically, it's me and Scott.
0:20.6	Do you say me and Scott? Scott and I? Scott and me? I've never,
0:24.9	like, I grew up with a mother. She's very lovely. Beth, who would always correct me with
0:31.5	grammar stuff. And there's a few things that I still say that I don't know if they're correct

1:28.1	about the base? But as I was thinking about this episode today, so I did a Q&A episode on my own.
1:36.1	I also did one about sort of what I decided to do when COVID happened. So if you haven't
1:41.0	checked out those episodes and you want to know more about me, if you're like, oh, I can't get enough of this guy. Check those out.
