| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome back to another episode of the Year of Palligamy Podcast. |
| 0:24.4 | I'm your host, Lindsay, reminding you all to go in order. |
| 0:28.6 | Remember, this podcast is meant to go in order to give you context for what we're going to talk about. |
| 0:34.1 | Now, we're actually re-recording an episode that we did a long time ago before the |
| 0:37.9 | year of Polygamy podcast started. It's one that people have asked for over and over and over |

| 1:45.4 | So that's what we're going to talk about today. |
| 1:47.0 | We're going to sort of set the scene why this is so complicated, why this happens. |
