0:00.0	Hey guys welcome back to thick and thin with me Katie Biladi and if you guys are
0:18.6	listening to this episode as it's dropping on the 5th of November and you're in the United States or you care about US
0:25.3	politics, you're probably freaking out right now because I know I am. I just had to physically
0:31.9	drag myself away from the TV to sit here and record this because I am so
0:37.3	invested in the polls right now because it's such a tight race, there's a lot obviously
0:41.8	writing on this presidency, on the state of our country and I don't know how anyone can fully focus on anything besides the election right now. I just I physically can't. it's been really hard for me to focus on
0:54.8	anything besides you know gluing myself to the TV and staying so just close to the
1:01.9	polls and close to each state and all of those things and yeah I am

1:56.2	If you guys voted via mail-in, absentee, etc, just like in a mail-in format, definitely make sure you know where your ballot is and if it's
2:04.9	been counted if it's been rejected accepted etc because a lot of ballots have been
