Ever felt like you were the only one seeing the truth? Something felt off. The charm didn’t sit right. The stories didn’t fully add up… But everyone else? Completely pulled in. Almost like they were under a spell.

S

Sarah ParkhurstHost

1:02

S

Sarah ParkhurstHost

1:05

And you know, it's like those people that through your kids, if it's sports teams or-

W

Whitney GayHost

1:10

Right

S

Sarah ParkhurstHost

1:10

... school or work environment, let's say, if you don't have kids yet, that you're like, be around this person, but I have to be around this person-

S

Sarah ParkhurstHost

Sarah ParkhurstHost

1:51

Sarah ParkhurstHost
