0:00.0	Hello, it's Andrea Dunlop. Thank you so much for joining us on our trip down memory lane to our very first season of nobody should believe me.
0:11.0	Today I am unlocking something from our subscriber vault, which is my
0:16.5	unabridged conversation with Hope Ybarra. This was and remains one of the strangest conversations that I've ever had in my life and if you
