[00:41:31] But I think it was around the end of October in 2022 as I was looking for Christmas theme podcast to listen to since I'm not a huge Christmas music fan what so Obviously, no

[00:41:42] It's morning. I really like her. That's just one that's just one part of a big big show She worked retail for eight years. It burned her out. Yeah, I get that I was also very pregnant around this time

[00:41:51] And so I wasn't able to put up my decorations like I normally do on November 1st Do not wanted to expose myself and baby to the germs of the yuck that is in our attic
