0:00.0	For today's pre-roll space, I want to take a moment to recommend you an episode of another
0:05.2	project that I'm working on.
0:07.2	A lot of you probably already know that I host another podcast called Off Duty.
0:11.6	Now, I don't typically pitch for this show because it's probably not the type of show

0:54.4	Last year, Michelle's husband, who was also a friend of mine, committed suicide.
