| 0:00.0 | Yo. All right. We need to talk about it. There's a new documentary. It feels like almost everyone has watched it. And if you have not watched it, it's one that I'm going to tell you right now, you probably want to skip this episode, but let me tell you this. You don't want to skip this documentary. It's on Netflix. It's called Unknown Number, the high school catfish. |
| 0:30.5 | It's a documentary where you're going to be like in the first 30 minutes or even the first hour, you're going to think to yourself, this happens in every high school. |
| 0:32.4 | This happens every day. |
| 0:33.6 | Why is this a documentary? |
| 0:38.0 | Oh, I know who's behind these horrible messages. |
| 0:41.1 | I know who is the catfish. |
| 0:43.0 | You're going to think you haven't figured out. |
| 0:47.7 | Nonetheless, you will not until it's disclosed. |
| 0:51.8 | Then your jaw is going to be on the floor and you're going to be in shock. |
| 0:54.0 | And then you're going to want to talk about it. You're going to want some questions that were not answered in the documentary. You're going to want them answered. And then you're going to have to come back and listen to this episode. I'm doing this one because, like, even with the biggest loser documentary, I had a lot of people say, like, we need your commentary. We need your commentary. And I did that, |
| 1:11.3 | but I got so many about this one that I just realized, yeah, we need to talk about it. So, |
| 1:20.3 | if you walk on Wednesdays, check your step count. Either way, just very grateful you're spending |
| 1:26.7 | some time with me. Let's get into it. |
| 1:29.4 | All right, you know how we do on Wednesdays. We're walking, and I'm walking in Miami Beach right |
| 1:36.1 | now. It's kind of a balmy type of day. It is the season where it rains on and off, and I |
| 1:43.1 | freaking love it. |
| 1:44.4 | I know some people don't, but like that's another thing I love about where I live. |
| 1:48.5 | I love rain and I don't mind this humility at all. |
| 1:52.2 | And it's a beautiful day. |
| 1:54.1 | So I'm out and I'm happy that you're listening and hopefully you're walking to or doing something physical or I don't know, maybe |
| 2:01.1 | you're not. Maybe you're just, I'm just keeping you company. Either way, that's cool with me. |
| 2:05.1 | I'm going to obviously spoil some of the surprises in this documentary. And I will say that. |
