| 0:00.0 | Hey deserve listeners, we have a special guest talking with us today. |
| 0:04.5 | As many of you know on YouTube I've been publishing these reaction videos to a TV show, a reality |
| 0:11.1 | TV show called Sister Wives. |
| 0:13.0 | And as I have been reacting, I have all these questions, |
| 0:17.3 | and sometimes I verbalize those questions on the episode |
| 0:20.6 | where I'm thinking, I have no idea what sort of religious group these people come from and I don't know the |

| 1:25.6 | experience is just your experience and you can't speak for everyone who has |
| 1:30.4 | been in the group or is in the group. You also mentioned you know people in the group now that would claim or would tell a very different story about how they experience it. |
