| 0:00.0 | All right, Berto, let's make this hopefully our final chapter because we've been talking for so long, |
| 0:06.8 | but this is chapter six in our pandemic recap. |
| 0:09.2 | And the pandemic ended by around April 5th, 2020, so. |
| 0:12.1 | Right. So what do you say? Let's get into it. Let's do it. |
| 0:16.2 | My name is Dr. Kirkhanda. I'm a therapist and a professor, and this is the Psychology and Seattle |
| 0:20.5 | podcast. My name is Umberto Kassanya, and I erase grooves in vinyl records. |
