Nobody thinks much about that number, so let's have some fun on the new podcast episode, a podcast all about why being alive is more interesting than people think it is. My name is Alex Schmidt, and I'm not alone because I'm joined by my co-host Katie Golden and Katie. Wow, we are celebrating episode 150 of six.

0:50.9

And I would walk a hundred podcasts and then I would walk 50 more podcast, just a podcast on this podcast.
