0:00.0	Hello, podcast nerds, and welcome to the extra pack of peanuts podcast.
0:04.9	I'm your host, Travis Sherry.
0:06.5	And with me today is my daughter's favorite, absolute favorite Instagram personality.
0:12.4	One of the world's foremost advocates for Alopecia.
0:15.2	Her work has been on national ad campaign seen at the New York Fashion Week.
0:19.1	And she is the only person to ever glam me up
0:22.3	before hitting a late night Bulgarian disco tech. So congrats on that. My incredible friend,
0:29.4	Abby, welcome to the show. This may be the best intro I've ever heard. Thank you so much for
0:34.8	having me, Travis. I'm so excited to chat and to just see you again.
0:38.3	It is incredible. I feel like I get to see you through my phone screen pretty often when my

1:29.9	I just in Great Falls or just outside of Great Falls, right? In that area. Yeah. So when we got
1:35.7	off, him and I recording, he looked at his phone and said, wait, Abby sent me the answer. It's the
1:39.8	Roe River. She knows the answer. So we got to give you, we'll give you a little clap here. We got to give you some love for No in the Row River. And then your intro fact, the one I want
