0:00.0	Welcome to Nobody Told Me.
0:13.2	I'm Laura Owens.
0:14.4	And I'm Jan Black.
0:15.8	Our show is a two-generational interview show where we look at things from the perspective of Laura, who's a
0:21.2	millennial, and me, her mother, who's obviously of a different generation. One of our favorite
