| 0:00.0 | My parents hired a private detective just so they could follow my every move and make sure that I'm still following their house rules |
| 0:07.0 | Despite the fact that I'm 25 years old and at this point I seriously don't know what to do |
| 0:11.6 | Okay, so to start things out I I'm in my late 20s, |
