0:00.0	Hey, everybody, welcome to episode 414, a special bonus episode of the virtual couch.
0:08.9	I'm Tony Overbay, your host. I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist.
0:12.2	And today, it's installment number two of the live relationship question and answers with my daughter Sydney, 21 years old co-host of murder on the couch.
0:20.9	And I really appreciate all the great feedback from the first one that I shared a couple of
