| 0:00.0 | Welcome back, my loves to another episode of Bybin. We are here this wonderful Wednesday morning, just hanging out. This week has already been a doozy. I went to Delaware last week for work and I was there for about two |
| 0:42.5 | days on my way home. Thankfully, I was only 15 minutes away from home. My car decided to act |
| 0:49.8 | fucked up. I don't know what planets are retrograding. I don't know what's going on. But honestly, |
| 0:58.9 | I'm quite tired of it. I don't know what I did deserve this. Nothing. Jack fucking shit. |
| 1:05.9 | That's what I know I did to deserve this. So it's been a doozy, but the rest of it has been just working, |
| 1:14.6 | getting episodes turned around. I was having the hardest time reading this weekend, |
| 1:22.2 | which was abnormal for me. I did finish the river's waiting, and I think that's why I was having trouble reading |

| 2:03.0 | but I don't know about you. Once I've watched the movie or the show, I will rarely go back and |
| 2:10.1 | watch the, or I will rarely go back and read the book because it kind of takes me out of it. |
| 2:17.1 | Part of the fun of reading is like visualizing it. |
| 2:23.3 | Also, I know my voice sounds weird. |
| 2:25.7 | Actually, this is way better than I thought it was going to be. |
| 2:29.6 | I waited until the last possible second in order to record because I had no voice all weekend. |
| 2:35.4 | And I think the universe heard me when I said I wanted to shut the fuck up because trust, |
