0:00.0	Hey, it's Anna. We are sharing a very special episode with you this week. For a reason,
0:06.0	that's bitter sweet. We are saying goodbye to death sex and monies, long time producer Katie
0:11.3	Bishop. For more than seven years, she has been my creative partner in the show's engine
0:17.2	of productivity, and we will miss her. She's got an exciting new job with the podcast company,
0:22.8	Criminal Productions. So if you don't already listen to the shows that they make, including
0:27.4	Criminal, This is Love, Phoebe reads a mystery. Here's another reason to get those added to
0:32.9	your listening lineup. When we were thinking about how to let you know about Katie's departure,
0:38.0	I asked her what has been the episode that she's been proudest to work on, and she said this one.

1:39.0	you who live in other places, I hold out hope that we'll get to do some sing-along karaoke together
1:43.8	before too long. Again, I hope you enjoyed this episode. Telling someone for the first time that I
1:51.5	have a twin, and people get so excited, like they love to hear that. They're like, oh my god, like,
1:55.7	well, what's it like? And I always kind of have to preface it, maybe, and like, oh, well, you know,
