Hey, just your listeners. A lot of you have been asking me to react to the news that Jeanette McCarty came out with a book named

0:06.8

I am glad my mom died. I'm glad my mom died. It's a memoir.

0:12.5

She's basically saying that she's glad that her actual mother died.

0:16.7

So let's get to it. My name is Dr. Kirk Honda. I'm a therapist and a professor for you.

0:21.0

1:38.0

But particularly reality TV. But anyway, so she's saying it's like living in an adult world.
