0:00.0	Hello there. Hope you're enjoying your summer. Beautiful, beautiful other out, no?
0:04.8	What if they're like listening to this in like 2048? It's the winter.
0:08.4	I'll be enjoying your winter. Yeah. You know, winter's also good in its time.
0:12.6	We sat down with an incredible guest this week, Dr. Shana Friedman, the executive director of Shalom Task Force.
0:21.2	For those who don't know what Shalom Task Force is, it's a brothel if you don't know what it is.
0:25.6	You don't want to know what they are. And but we think it's very important to educate people,

1:40.5	I mean, we had it a few weeks ago. But like, after since then, I've literally seen people.
1:45.7	And I'm like, that is total manipulation. That is total abuse. That is not healthy.
1:50.8	Like get them out of my life. Something I do want to mention that Shalom Task Force also does
