0:00.0	Hey everyone, I've noticed some questions about ads on the podcast, so I wanted to clarify.
0:06.2	The ads are not exclusive to Spotify, which means even Spotify premium users will still hear them.

1:24.5	appear to be placed at different heights. There are soap smears on the windows and mirrors
1:29.5	from somebody's rushed housekeeping job. But if you were to run a finger across the light fixtures
