0:00.0	Welcome to the Crime Roundup with Nancy Grace. Y'all listen. I got to tell y'all something. When me and Nancy were in our 20s in Fulton County. We had a good time. You hear me?
0:21.6	I tell people we burned Atlanta down again.
0:26.6	But we had good friends, we had good times, we had good coworkers.
0:35.6	And I just want to say, I think you and I were very lucky at some of the

1:51.7	If somebody tells me, let's meet for lunch, I'm like, I say, oh, sure, on the inside, I'm crying.
1:59.1	Lunch, go and spend a full hour.
2:03.0	Mm-hmm.
