0:00.0	Hello everyone, welcome to a new episode of Hi-Lo with Amrata. Today's episode is an
0:19.1	Amrata asks, if you're new to the show, let me just wrap this up by saying, sorry, can
0:25.1	you hear Colombo breathing in the back? That's my giant dog. So on Tuesdays we have a guest
0:31.6	episode this week we had that baby, last week we had Marc Jacobs, we had Julia Fox, Lauren
0:36.8	Gray, Dylan Tuller Versace, a lot of great guests. And then on Thursdays we do a solo episode
0:43.4	where we cover various different topics. So Tune in, there's also a subscription episode
0:48.8	that I really love. I respond to listeners, comments and thoughts and questions about things
