| 0:22.9 | where you're making like actual living full-time podcast. Here's what I'm saying. If I |
| 0:28.3 | quit my job to podcast full-time and I make like $15 a month, am I a full-time podcaster? |
| 0:36.3 | Or am I just I'm just curious? I would say if that's all you're spending your time doing |
| 0:42.0 | then yes, your full-time podcaster, regardless of. So welcome full-time podcaster, Lindsay Astraman. |

| 1:37.4 | because we're a lot of people are working from home now. And I've been definitely killing my own |
| 1:43.6 | personal health ever since I quit my job. And now a lot of people have joined me in ruining their |
| 1:48.7 | health by sitting all day. And I had thought that the fact that I go really hard on hockey three |
