0:00.0	Hi, Flynn Throers, Lindsay Gibbs here. Welcome back to Burn It All Down, the Feminist
0:15.8	Sports Podcast You Need. This is the last week where we are just hosting an interview episode. We will be back
0:23.9	from our summer vacation next week. And I don't know, I'm kind of cheating this week because this
0:30.4	week for my interview, I brought on my co-host, Brenda Elsie. Hi, Bren. Hi. So first of all, before we get going, I just want to remind
