0:00.0	Welcome to episode 480. I am Paul Gilmarten. This is the this is the mental illness happy
0:12.4	hour and what the fuck is going on. Holy shit. We have put off doing a guest-based interview
0:23.2	again this week because I decided to create a survey around the whole situation called the
0:30.9	pandemic survey and I wanted this survey to be reading the thoughts feelings experiences that
0:39.6	you guys are having right now and thankfully a lot of you guys filled this filled this survey out
0:47.8	and of course we could always use more people filling it out. And also the loves survey. We're going

1:52.2	early, but always there the first light of day. I'm sure I fucked up reading that complicated
2:01.5	sentence. I read it up through about five times and I was like, nah,
