0:00.0	Yo! Welcome into the House of L podcast. I am Lauren Tombs. I thank you for clicking
0:24.5	on this episode and all the episodes that we have over here at House of L. Got a lot
0:35.7	of feedback over the last couple of weeks. People really enjoy the episode with Paul Conrad
0:44.7	and I thought that the things that he had to say on there were really important. If you
0:49.8	didn't listen to the Paul Conrad episode, when you're done with this episode, go back and
0:56.7	listen to that episode. People really enjoyed it and it was fun. Before I tell you about our
1:04.9	guests on this this week, I'm going to I'm going to lean on you because I'm going to need you for
