0:00.0	Hey, prime members. You can listen to Life is Short. Add free on Amazon Music. Download the app today.
0:06.8	Fans of the show know we love Bud Light Seltzer, and you know what we love more than Bud Light Seltzer when they sponsor the show.
0:13.1	They are the presenting sponsor. You know about Bud Light Seltzer. It's a delicious hard Seltzer for Bud Light with no Bud Light in it.
0:19.7	Each one is only 100 calories, 5% alcohol by volume, and gluten-free.
0:24.0	And now they've got the perfect flavors for SOMEHR with the Bud Light Seltzer Lemonade variety pack.
0:28.0	And the brand new Bud Light Seltzer Ice Tea variety pack. You can try them together, which Christian did the other day, and make your ideal alcoholic Arnold Palmer with a Bud Light Seltzer Ice Tea and Lemonade Mix Pack.
0:39.5	Or dive into the good vibes of Yesteryear with a retro summer pack and retro summer icicles.
0:45.7	There's that cherry lime-aiden. That's my favorite. And you know what you can combine there. There's a peach Ice Tea and Lemonade.

1:31.3	However, if there are young children listening, then I would say there should still be a disclaimer.

1:41.3	Wow, that was short-lived, the non-disclamer. So yeah, that's a good point. Okay, little kids stop listening. I hate saying that because it'd be great to have little kids listening.
1:49.3	I don't have to be mean about it. No, no, no, I'm not shiting. I'm not like shaming up. Stop listening.
1:53.3	I didn't say like that. I said, man, stop listening.
1:55.3	Or how about this? Parents who have kids just know that you have the option of...
2:01.3	At your discretion.
2:02.3	...fielding your children from this episode.
2:04.3	Or exposing them to it and then helping normalize a whole generation of kids the way our parents weren't normalized to it.
