0:00.0	Thanks for listening to my call of the day podcast. You can hear my live radio program Monday through Friday from two to five PM Eastern time on serious XM triumph 11.
0:11.0	Kimberly, welcome to the program.
0:14.0	Hi, thank you. Thank you for taking my call. Thank you.
0:18.0	I have a question about my husband. So I think he waits a lot of times like playing video games he could play from anywhere between three to five hours every day.
