0:16.5	And welcome back to the podcast. Welcome back. We've had some pretty emotional episodes recently.
0:25.8	I feel like at least that aspect one was kind of our longest one yet. Thank you for the support on that.
0:33.5	I feel like a lot of people have been reaching out saying that they appreciate the vulnerability,

2:02.7	I haven't actively participated in hookup cultures. I can't say like, for sure,
2:07.3	but I think in my head, it sounds a lot more like romanticized than, you know, the reality of it.
