| 0:00.0 | Hello, and welcome to Series Inquiries. Only this is episode 337. I'm Thomas, and that's my co-host, |
| 0:20.4 | Lindsey Osterman. How are you? That's me. I'm fantastic. How are you? I am fantastic as well. |
| 0:25.7 | Dr. Lindsey Osterman, major announcement time. Well, for the normies. I guess the patrons |
| 0:31.5 | kind of already know. Patrons have known for years. Wow. They have a time machine. There's a patron |
| 0:37.5 | time machine that you want to check out patreon.com slash series. But this is super exciting, |
| 0:43.1 | so we'll just out with it. Lindsey quit her job. Yeah, I did do that. Not only did you quit your |
| 0:47.9 | job, and we're going to talk about that and the reasons, therefore, but also, I want to do announce |
| 0:52.9 | that Lindsey is also now officially full on co-5050. Serious Inquiries only partner co-host |
| 1:01.6 | everything. I'm so excited. And look, Lindsey didn't quit her job to be a professional |

| 1:30.2 | because we would really love it if you'd go to patreon.com slash series. And pledge to the show. |
| 1:35.8 | Because I want to make this work for Lindsey. We're figuring out we're crunching numbers. I'm |
| 1:40.4 | hiring Lindsey. Do editing. We're making this happen one way or the other, but we need your support. |
| 1:45.0 | And as a little or I think kind of as a big thank you, if I'm being honest, as a big thank you, |
| 1:50.4 | we just watched. We were subjected to a form of visual torture. Yes. That is Matt Walsh's |
| 1:58.4 | stupid fucking documentary. It was dumbass fucking beard. Matt Walsh's documentary, what is a woman |
| 2:04.7 | that we both had been halted with ads for? I wonder if anybody listening saw those ads or if |
| 2:10.4 | it was just that we have weird search histories from doing the show. I don't know one or the other. |
| 2:15.3 | Yeah. That's that's why my search history is weird. That's why it's weird in this way. |
