02/07/2023 Duration: 30minhttps://youtu.be/R6PnY8EPh24 This show is a bunch of little snippets, so if you guys aren’t quite familiar with us on social media, that’s what we do. We’re all over social media. We do lives, we do reels, we do stories, we do posts, and we’ve been doing that for years.

Friedman realized he knew very little of who his parents really were, especially about their lives before they met one another.
