0:03.8	You are about to hear an excerpt of People's Party hosted by me and my lovely and talented
0:08.0	co-host, Ms. Jasmine Lee. What up Jasmine? What up Peeps to hear our entire combo and all of our
0:12.8	episodes with stars from the game to Lil Kim, to Anthony Anderson, to my sister Tiffany Hattish,
0:18.5	subscribe to the Luminary channel on Apple Podcasts.
0:21.6	Birdbox. On Netflix. Have you seen this movie 12 monkeys? No. 12 monkeys is one of my favorite
