0:00.0	Welcome to Nobody Told Me. I'm Jan Black.
0:15.1	And I'm Laura Owens. This is the 100th episode of Nobody Told Me,
0:19.5	and we wanted to look back at some of the more memorable
0:22.0	Nobody Told Me lessons our guests have shared with us. We've truly been honored to speak with each of our guests,
0:27.6	and they've given us so many wonderful anecdotes and pieces of advice that it's tough to select highlights.
0:33.0	All of our guests have been open and honest, and the stories they've related have been stories we can all identify with. Take for example, Mitch Album. Mitch's book Tuesdays with Mori is the most successful
0:44.3	memoir ever published. His first novel, The Five People You Meet in Heaven, is the most successful

1:38.3	the answers on my own and to advise people who are younger than me. Somehow, even though intellectually you know it, you always kind of think that there's going to be,
1:49.6	you know, your parents or somebody who was older or wiser that you'll be able to go to.
1:54.3	And I've now lived long enough that both of my parents are gone.
1:58.2	Mori's gone.
1:59.6	The old people, you know, clerics that I wrote about and have a little faith are gone. Mori's gone. The old people,
2:04.6	clerics that I wrote about and have a little faith are gone.
2:05.7	And, you know,
