| 0:28.0 | I am going to be very, very, very real with you for this podcast. |
| 0:37.0 | I'm normally you guys I'm always very real. |
| 0:39.4 | I'm the girl in the room that talks about the things that nobody in the room wants to talk about or |
| 0:43.6 | would dare talk about that's always been me which makes an awesome bardy guest |
| 0:48.0 | but this is so fresh normally when stuff happens to me in my life. I use it for this |
