Welcome everybody to Crystal Kyle and Friends. Today, we are in sunny, lovely, beautiful

0:13.0

Miami as we are all week. You know, I was down here for the PBD podcast. We brought

0:18.8

a couple of family along. We have a little bit of a vacation as much of a vacation as we

0:23.6

never do, I guess. That's just how we roll. Yeah, exactly. So we're going to be talking to

0:32.3

or Crystal is going to be talking to Teray today. Teray has a new book out, which is a very

0:39.8

interesting book that Crystal, you know, dove into and also he's going to open up on other
