| 0:22.4 | going to be a little different than normal as I'm featuring an interview with my pal, Megan Fox, |
| 0:27.2 | covering the Karen Reed trial. I'll get into what that is. You might have heard the name and don't |
| 0:32.0 | know, or maybe you were an avid follower for the last several years of this crazy trial. We're also going to talk about |
| 0:38.6 | the Bachelor Clayton Eckard trial, as Meg was there all along as we uncovered the case. Maybe |

| 1:41.9 | in one of the most remote Confederate states. |
| 1:44.7 | Now a federal holiday in the U.S. celebrated as a day of freedom, reflection, black culture, |
| 1:49.4 | and progress honoring the struggles and contributions of African Americans throughout history. |
| 1:54.8 | So maybe you have the day off, maybe you have a job where you don't have the day off. |
