00:00I was just going to say, touching on what you said about us both being from Michigan,
00:03one of the craziest things, and I think that also helped the process, because there are
00:09cultural things that were happening during that same time, and us both growing up the
00:14same age, and her being from Flint, me being from Detroit, I knew what was happening around
00:19that time, 2012, 2011, that time was so specific for people that were from there.
00:26And so I think that really helped me as well, without it ever being on purpose, just the
00:30craziest coincidence ever, so that was really cool.
