0:00.0	Porn for Radio, episode 2.42. So I'm recording this episode on Friday morning. And I was thinking back to my
0:08.1	early days in recovery. And one of the most challenging situations I dealt with every week was Friday night.
0:15.9	I don't know what it is about Friday, but it's like the end of the work week. It maybe even went back to,
0:22.5	you know, when school was out for the week on Friday, I just felt this exhilaration, this freedom.
0:28.8	You know, I didn't have anything to do on Saturday. And so that just kind of spilled over into my

1:39.6	years and I don't want to I don't want to out here on porn free radio, but we were talking a little
1:46.8	bit about recovery. And I'll just call him for the sake of this story. I'm just going to call him
1:51.1	Major X. So Major X was in a foreign country and he was doing a mission. And he's bringing the plane in and he realizes things are off a little bit.
2:04.3	And it's, it's kind of like his approach isn't great. There's some problems with, you know,
