0:12.3	back from Abu Dhabi, live in the dream, and I'm super pumped because this episode is
0:19.9	a really special one to me, as you know. Oh, it's a super special one. I think you
0:26.0	were fangirling a little out too. Am I right? For sure on the inside and I was doing my best to play
0:32.7	at cool on the outside. Could you tell how do I do? Not well, not well. I could tell.
0:43.8	Lynn, keep it together Lynn, keep it together. Well, you know, when you meet a childhood idol in person,
