| 0:00.0 | Hey everyone, what you're about to hear is an interview with me and Mary Beiler, who is the author |
| 0:07.7 | of the book, Reflections and Memories of an Amish Misfit. My therapist says that's not true, |
| 0:13.4 | but I digress. Came on to do an interview with us. And who are you, Fallon? Sorry, just in case |
