| 0:31.8 | Hi, friend. Welcome back to the podcast. So tomorrow, you guys, I turned 50, |
| 0:37.7 | which is like the weirdest thing ever because |
| 0:41.0 | a 50 of you are this age. And I can even remember thinking this when I was 40, like when my mom |
| 0:47.1 | had me young. So when I was, when my mom turned 40, I was already 21. And I can just remember |
