| 0:00.0 | When you talk about monogamy, I think everyone thinks it's like all orgies and most of non monogamy is like deep emotional conversations and logistics discussions. Hey Jason Gatiss here. |

| 0:34.7 | better relationship with yourself and more fulfilling relationships with others, this |
| 0:38.5 | show is for you. It's my belief and my experience that your life satisfaction, your health and well-being, and your longevity will be determined by how much confidence you have in your most important relationships, including the one with yourself. |

| 2:09.7 | gosh seven or so maybe eight years and I've met Ederka once in person and this was the first |
| 2:19.7 | time we actually had this conversation. We've been trying to make this conversation happen for a long time. |
