| 0:00.0 | This is a headgum podcast. |
| 0:04.7 | Hello and welcome to the introduction for podcast, but outside, episode 230. |
| 0:09.4 | This episode was recorded on the bustling streets of a very small town in southwestern Colorado called Peonia. |
| 0:16.9 | I know this town very well because for my entire adult life, my mother has lived there. |
| 0:22.0 | My lovely mom, unfortunately, passed away about a month ago on April 23rd, and I am very |
| 0:29.0 | fortunate that we recorded this episode together in February of this year the last time I saw |
| 0:35.2 | her. |
| 0:35.9 | It was really sweet to be able to sit down with her for over an hour and chat with her about a little bit about her and her life, talk a little bit about me, a little bit about her raising me, and a little bit about the strangers we talked to on the streets. It took a little while to get random people in this small town to sit down, so the first 15 minutes of the episode are just me and my mom talking. But I think it's interesting. It was difficult for me to cut |
| 0:57.9 | any of that out because I dare you to cut the final words of your departed mom. Not very easy. |
| 1:07.8 | But it is a fun episode. We got some great guests. A guy even gets pissed off at me. |
| 1:11.6 | And that was kind of cool to see. And also a woman shows up who seems very off in a way that surprised all of us. |
| 1:21.6 | My siblings and I were all incredibly lucky to be raised by our lovely mom. She is sweet, kind, hilarious, and really was just a really |
| 1:32.4 | positive and lovely person to be around, even while she was struggling with health issues for a lot |
| 1:37.7 | of her life. This episode is by no means an exhaustive encapsulation of our relationship or who she |
| 1:43.7 | was, but it's a nice |
| 1:44.6 | little snapshot into how sweet and lovely of a person she was. And I'm honored to put it out |
| 1:52.8 | there and I'm honored that she was comfortable to sit down with me and record it. Music this week |
| 1:57.4 | is by Kirsten Gerard. It's a nice little theme song that I think my mom really liked. |
| 2:01.6 | Okay. |
| 2:02.3 | Thank you all so much for watching and listening. |
| 2:03.8 | Enjoy the episode. |
| 2:04.4 | Goodbye. You can walk right by |
