00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 1: Welcomed Aaron Mankey's Cabinet of Curiosities, a production of iHeart

2
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: Radio and Grim and Mild. Our world is full of

3
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:18,479
Speaker 1: the unexplainable, and if history is an open book, all

4
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:22,079
Speaker 1: of these amazing tales are right there on display, just

5
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 1: waiting for us to explore. Welcome to the Cabinet of Curiosities.

6
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: There is perhaps no greater stain on American history than

7
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 1: that of the slave trade. For over two hundred years,

8
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 1: millions of African men, women, and children were kidnapped from

9
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: their homes and enslaved, forced to work on plantations, picking

10
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: crops like cotton and tobacco for white owners who did

11
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: not see them as people. To those in power, especially

12
00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: in the Southern States, enslave people were simply property. It

13
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: was a dark and tumultuous time, a time when the

14
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: country was still new and finding its place in the

15
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 1: larger world. Yet, despite slavery's wide acceptance, an abolitionist movement

16
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: brewed among those who opposed its barbaric treatment of our

17
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: fellow human beings. People like Frederick Douglas, Sojourner Truth, and

18
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 1: Harriet Tubman spoke out against the horrors of slavery, as

19
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 1: did many allies, such as author Harriet Beecher Stowe and

20
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: John Quincy Adams. Yet there was one abolitionist who did

21
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: much to further the cause. But despite his theatrical approach

22
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: to ending slavery, few people have heard of him today.

23
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 1: So let's change that. His name was Benjamin Leigh, and

24
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: he was a white man born in Copford, England, in

25
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: sixteen eighty two. His parents were Quakers and they instilled

26
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: a strong moral compass in him from a young age.

27
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: When he was in his mid thirties, Benjamin moved to

28
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: Barbados to work as a merchant. His time there gave

29
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: him a firsthand look at the injustices of the world,

30
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: namely the enslavement of black people, and it, in fear

31
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: created him. He grew more impassioned after a harrowing experience

32
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: watching an enslaveman take his own life to spare himself

33
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: another lashing from his owner. From that point forward, Benjamin

34
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 1: let everyone else know what he thought of slavery, which

35
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: didn't quite endear him to the people profiting from it

36
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: on the island. He left Barbados in seventeen thirty one

37
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: and settled down in Pennsylvania, where he continued to advocate

38
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: against the slave trade. It wasn't something yet codified in

39
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: Quaker philosophy. Quakers themselves had been prominent slave traders early on,

40
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: although abolition had become an increasingly popular cause among them informally.

41
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: His vocal admonition of it, though, cemented Benjamin as one

42
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 1: of the more progressive minds of his time. And he

43
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: didn't just talk the talk either. He saw everyone as equal,

44
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 1: and Benjamin was so against slavery that he made his

45
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: own clothes too, so as not to purchase anything that

46
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: might have been manufactured using slave labor. He also wrote

47
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: hundreds of essays and pamphlets on a handful of issues,

48
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: including slavery, as well as a book published by Benjamin Franklin.

49
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: In addition to his work toward abolition, he was also

50
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 1: anti capital punishment and believe the existing prison system needed

51
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 1: serious reform. But perhaps most importantly, Benjamin Lagh was an activist.

52
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: He did not rely on his words to get his

53
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 1: message across. In order to get people to hear him,

54
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 1: to really hear him, he knew he had to go bigger,

55
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: partly because he was a four foot tall man with

56
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: a hunchback and extremely long arms. People did not take

57
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: him seriously due to his looks. They were just not

58
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: going to listen to him, so he had to make them.

59
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: In one act of defiance, he stood outside a Quaker

60
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: meeting house in the dead of winter with nothing on

61
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: but his shirt, a pair of pants, and a single shoe.

62
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: He shoved one of his bare feet in the snow

63
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: and waited there in the cold. When someone asked him

64
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: why he was doing this or encouraged him to put

65
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: on warmer clothing, Benjamin informed them that enslaved people didn't

66
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: have the luxury of warm coats and shoes in the winter.

67
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: They were still forced to work outside dressed much like

68
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: he was right then. He also didn't hesitate to hit

69
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: slaveholders where they lived. Benjamin once asked a six year

70
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: old neighbor boy to come to his home and spend

71
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: time with him there for several hours. When it got late,

72
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: the boy's parents ran outside in a panic looking for him.

73
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 1: After a short while, Benjamin emerged and told them that

74
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,119
Speaker 1: the boy was fine, he'd been with him the whole time,

75
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: but their desperation and sadness were the same desperation and

76
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: sadness felt by the parents of the young black girl

77
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: the couple had enslaved when she had been ripped from

78
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: their arms. And finally, in perhaps his most impressive and

79
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: ostentatious demonstration, Benjamin wore a soldier's uniform and delivered a

80
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 1: speech against slavery in front of his fellow Quakers at

81
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 1: the yearly meeting in Philadelphia. He held in his hand

82
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: a Bible and read out loud, Thus shall God shed

83
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: the blood of those persons who enslave their fellow creatures.

84
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: When his speech was over, Benjamin withdrew his sword and

85
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: drove it through the front cover of the Bible, which

86
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 1: bled and sprayed red liquid all over self and his audience.

87
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 1: It wasn't real blood, though he had hollowed out the

88
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 1: middle of the book and placed a bladder full of

89
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: pokeberry juice inside. The stunt shocked all in attendance, and

90
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: Benjamin was forced to leave the meeting. Rather than walk away,

91
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: though he lay down outside the door of the venue

92
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: so that when people left they had to step over

93
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: him and see his bloody corpse in all its glory.

94
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: It may have been appalling and offensive at the time,

95
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 1: but it worked. Thanks to Benjamin's advocacy, Philadelphia Quakers expelled

96
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: all slaveholders from their ranks. Benjamin Lay was, by eighteenth

97
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: century standards, a strange and garish person. He wasn't afraid

98
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 1: to go against the grain or to make people feel uncomfortable.

99
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: He even convinced Ben Franklin to free his enslaved people

100
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: in the event of his death. Benjamin Lay was a

101
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 1: hero and an ally, but above all else, despite his

102
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: small stature, he was someone that you could look up

103
00:05:54,440 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: to and a role model for people everywhere for all time. Curious, yes,

104
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: but also incredibly noble. Money changes people. Too much can

105
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: make them more selfish, too little can make them desperate,

106
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: And for those with a lot of it, money can

107
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: transform them into strange individuals who spend it in peculiar ways.

108
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: For example, a Canadian dentist named Michael Zook spent over

109
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: thirty one dollars in two thousand eleven to purchase a tooth.

110
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: But not just any tooth. It was a molar that

111
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,799
Speaker 1: had been plucked from the mouth of the legendary beatle

112
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 1: John Lennon. His reason for procuring such a morbid item

113
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 1: he wanted to clone the late musician. But a few

114
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: of these eccentric elites can hold a candle to Ida

115
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 1: Mayfield Wood, who made quite a stir in nineteen thirties

116
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 1: New York City. Ida was born in eighteen thirty eight

117
00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: and came to New York at the age of nineteen

118
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: to start a new chapter in her life. She hoped

119
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: to take her rightful place at the top of society,

120
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: where she felt she belonged. She was young, but knew

121
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,239
Speaker 1: exactly who she was and what she wanted from life.

122
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: Ida's father had been the owner of a sugar plantation

123
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: back home in Louisiana, while her mother had been an

124
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: English aristocrat distantly related to the Earls of Crawford. In

125
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: order to maintain her status in a man's world, though,

126
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: she realized that she needed a man to help her

127
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: navigate it. She found what she needed in Benjamin Wood,

128
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: a thirty seven year old newspaper owner and Confederate sympathizer

129
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: from Kentucky. There was just one problem. He was already married.

130
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: Ida didn't mind, though, she continued to pursue Benjamin and

131
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: the two began a long lasting affair. They even had

132
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: a daughter together named Emma, and when Benjamin's wife suddenly

133
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: passed away in eighteen sixty seven, he and Ida were

134
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: finally able to tie the nut. He was just what

135
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: she needed. Ida worked her way up to the head

136
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: of the New York upper class, had found herself mentioned

137
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: in all the papers. She even snagged a visit with

138
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: Abraham Lincoln shortly after he won the election. But what

139
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: did bliss was not in the cards. Literally. Benjamin had

140
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: a nasty gambling habit, which made Ida worried about her future.

141
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: She certainly didn't want him throwing away all of their money,

142
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: so she made a deal with him. He was free

143
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: to gamble as much as he wanted under two conditions. First,

144
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: she got half of all of his winnings no matter what,

145
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: and second, he was responsible for paying back all of

146
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: his debts and losses. With those rules in place, Benjamin

147
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: continued to gamble, and he lost often, but not to

148
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: loan sharks or betting houses. He lost to his wife,

149
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 1: who was now even wealthier than when she'd married him.

150
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: Ida also bought a majority stake in her own husband's newspaper.

151
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: Benjamin eventually died in nineteen hundred, leaving behind a lot

152
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:51,319
Speaker 1: of money and a rich newspaper owning widow. Ida sold

153
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: the paper shortly thereafter for two hundred and fifty thousand dollars,

154
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: and she kept selling. In nineteen o seven, she got

155
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: rid of almost everything she owned, as if she was

156
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 1: purging herself of her old life, and once it was

157
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 1: all gone, she withdrew one million dollars from her bank

158
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 1: account in a single transaction and moved herself into a

159
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: two room suite at the Herald Square Hotel. After that,

160
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: she stopped going out. She stopped dining with other rich

161
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: New York socialites and celebrities, instead becoming a recluse. But

162
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: she wasn't alone. Her sister Mary and her own daughter Emma,

163
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: both lived in the suite with her. No guests were

164
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: ever permitted through the door, nor was any hotel staff.

165
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: Their only interaction with people on the outside occurred when

166
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: they would pay one of the bellhops to bring them

167
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:41,559
Speaker 1: food and supplies once per day, things like bacon and eggs, coffee, cigars,

168
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: and petroleum jelly for Ida to slather all over her face.

169
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: She claimed that it helped keep her skin moist and

170
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,959
Speaker 1: young looking. As far as the hotel staff knew, the

171
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: women had just enough money to stay there, but were

172
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 1: otherwise broke. Sadly, Ida outlived Emma, with her daughter passing

173
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: in at seventy one years old. The two sisters remained

174
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: in the room for the next few years until Mary

175
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 1: suddenly took a turn for the worse. In nineteen thirty one, Ida,

176
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: afraid for her sister, left the hotel room for the

177
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: first time in fourteen years and called out for help.

178
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 1: A doctor came, but it was too late. Mary was

179
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 1: already deceased, and after looking around at the room, he

180
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 1: was shocked that Ida hadn't gone with her. It was

181
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: a mess. The room was cluttered with their belongings, as

182
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 1: well as cans and boxes of old food. There were

183
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: stacks of newspapers, dirt, debris. Over a decade of filth

184
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 1: had built up due to their isolated lifestyle. With Mary gone,

185
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 1: a lawyer stepped in to assist Ida in the next

186
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 1: phase of her life. Clearly, she could no longer remain

187
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 1: inside her room, but as he helped her, he discovered

188
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 1: the truth about her situation. She was rich, very rich.

189
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: She still owned about a hundred and seventy five thousand

190
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: dollars in railroad stocks, with countless dividend checks gone uncashed.

191
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: There was almost a million dollars in cash and expensive

192
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: jewelry hidden everywhere in the place. Once news got out

193
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: about Ida and her money, relatives from all over, people

194
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 1: who had never seen her or spoken to her in

195
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: her entire life, came out of the woodwork to stake

196
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: their claim. It was the Great Depression, after all. Her

197
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 1: late husband's cousins, nephews, and even his son showed up

198
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 1: with their hands out, as did people claiming to be

199
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: related to her mother and father from Louisiana. Except Ida

200
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 1: hadn't really come from Louisiana, her father hadn't owned a plantation,

201
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: and as far as anyone knew, her mother wasn't related

202
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: to the Earls of Crawford. Ida had been born in Oldham, England,

203
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 1: to poor parents who had emigrated to the United States

204
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: when she was a young girl. She didn't want to

205
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: be poor any longer. She believed that she deserved better,

206
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 1: so she invented a new identity, one that helped her

207
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: capture the attention of Benjamin Wood, and the rest, as

208
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 1: they say, was history. Sadly, the adventure was over for her.

209
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 1: The ninety four year old Ida was declared incompetent and

210
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: remove from her room, no doubt, in a desperate bid

211
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:07,559
Speaker 1: by the others to get their hands on her money,

212
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: but by the time she died of bronchial pneumonia in

213
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 1: nineteen thirty two, only a handful of people were able

214
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: to legally claim her riches for themselves. Ida Wood's lasting

215
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:22,319
Speaker 1: legacy wasn't one of generosity or love, nor was it monetary.

216
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,559
Speaker 1: It was a legacy she had built for herself using

217
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: her own wits and fortitude, or, as the kids might

218
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 1: say today, she faked it until she made it. I

219
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:40,040
