| 0:10.0 | you should probably get them out of the room right now. |
| 0:16.0 | Everybody has a secret. This is Beyond the Secret, an anonymous podcast where I uncover the truth |
| 0:20.0 | behind people's deepest secrets. My name is Ace Fanning and I want to know |
| 0:27.3 | what's your secret? |
| 0:32.4 | I'm just going to be completely honest with you guys and tell you that number one |
