0:18.9	And today on the podcast, it's time for our five minute Friday. I'm
0:22.6	going to talk to you all about why you need to do a peel. So let's talk about the top five reasons

0:36.0	quarantine. Here in Los Angeles, it's officially
0:39.0	quarantined until May 15th. We'll see if we get released a little bit earlier. Feels like we're
