Cold Open And Creepy Underwear

SPEAKER_02 0:06

Hi, thanks for joining us today. It's Nora. And Nora. To our first-time listeners and those who join us week after week, settle in. Yes, we've got a good uh show for you in store today. Don't we always? But Nora, our listeners want to know the mystery of the underpants. The undie mystery remains just that. Still unsolved. Still unsolved. Yet I still have them. Cold case. I don't know why I haven't costumed. I feel like maybe it's time to let them go. Let them go. Well, have you ever did your kids read that book, Creepy Pair of Underwear? No. No. Is there a creepy pair of underwear? It's it's a children's book. And it's about this little rabbit by his glow in the dark underpants. And then he they have like a ghoulish-greenish glow. And he keeps seeing them glow and then they freak him out. And then he like tries to get rid of them, but they keep winding up in the drawer. And then he's cutting them up. He sends them to China. He dip digs a hole and puts them down there. And then when he finally gets rid of them, then he's in his room and his room's too dark. So then he digs them up and puts and then he uses them as a nightlight. Anyway.

SPEAKER_00 1:19

Um I it's safe to say we won't be using these as a nightlight.

Thriller Books And Audiobook Habits

SPEAKER_02 1:22

Okay. But yeah, I I'll keep you posted. Okay, yeah. Please do. All right. Listeners want to know. I know. Uh speaking of books, I think you and the murder books. Between that and Stranger Things, I'm a nervous. Did you finish the second one? Yes. I listened to it. I don't and I wonder if that's why it's scarier. I don't know. Feel like terror when I read them. I just feel like curiosity. And I think that's why I read them so quickly. And this is the sequel to so it's called The Housemaid's Secret. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:55

So, listeners, if you're just joining us, I read a book over Christmas break in a day called The Housemaid, and then discovered there was a sequel that I read in two days and passed it on to you, my dear friend.

SPEAKER_02 2:11

And there's a third. No. And then there's a movie. I don't know. Is it a movie or is it a series? No, it's a movie. Oh, it is. Okay. Yeah. We probably should watch the movie. But the second one was fascinating because one of the characters is just evil and horrible. Like nothing good about her. Nothing. No good. Very bad. She's just a horrible human being. Correct. Just wretched. And I kept being like, How? How? No. Oh my gosh. But I but it's also funny because I've been like so desperate to get through it, because it's compelling. To listen to a book on tape in a private, or not a private, in a public space is really strange. Like Rory had a doctor's appointment yesterday, and I was in the waiting room with my ear pods on, just listening to the book. And then I felt really awkward. So I took out something just to pretend like I was doing. Like zoning. And I'm like, I'm sure I'm making weird faces because this book is insane. So you faked work? I just faked reading something. Yes, I took out my script for the musical. I was just like it, but it was shut. That's funny. My little trapper keeper.

SPEAKER_00 3:37

Oh.

The Live Bug Eating Story

SPEAKER_02 3:38

What do you have going on? A whole bunch of half days and days off. And you know. Just mom and my dad's birthday is today. I almost forgot. Happy birthday, Dad. Birthday, Mr. Ryan. Yes. Oh my gosh, she's calling me right now. That's so funny that he called while we were talking to him. We won't put him on the spot and uh put him on the podcast again. But yeah, happy birthday, Dad. Happy birthday to him. I have a really gross story. Okay. It's do you want to hear it? Sure. What if I said no?

SPEAKER_00 4:09

Guess that's what a podcast is all about.

SPEAKER_02 4:11

No, thank you. So I was reading a story about this 26-year-old man with a very strange addiction. Oh no. So he likes to eat live bugs.

SPEAKER_04 4:23

No.

SPEAKER_02 4:24

And he can eat up to a hundred of them per day. Does he buy them or does he find them? No, he buys them.

SPEAKER_00 4:32

And when asked why, his response was he likes the way they swarm in his mouth. Oh, he must massage his tongue. Is that the gross? Where did they find this man? This man lives in California. He's 26 years old. He is lives alone. The father of a little girl and is not married to the mother.

SPEAKER_02 4:58

Okay. But is with the mother. He is currently unemployed. Okay. And when she first found out about it, she thought it was kind of cute. But now she doesn't. Now she's grossed out.

SPEAKER_00 5:14

She's like, it used to be cute that you eat crickets, but now it's sick. Oh, so it's crickets. Crickets, live cockroaches, mealworms. Mealworms? No. He claims he does, in fact, want to change, but he really does like eating bugs.

SPEAKER_01 5:31

Get him some pop rocks.

unknown 5:34

Right?

SPEAKER_02 5:35

That'll pop. Or like gummy worms. Yeah. No. Oh no. I know. He says he likes being in charge of their destiny. Oh no, that's no, he's a murderer. A bug murderer.

SPEAKER_00 5:52

And like then, step out and you have to eat it to kill it if you want to be in charge of a bug's destiny.

SPEAKER_02 5:58

Get a fly swatter. This is not helping him get a job. Q veget, you worked in an office, and you're like, yeah, I'm gonna go out the break room and have my lunch. You have like a turkey sandwich, and then the guy next to you is like his lunch box. Could you imagine Kruiska hyping away? Or the or just what does he take the fork? He's like, gotcha! Or is he like chopsticks? He's real hardcore. Or maybe he just hit finger, like just like drops them in and oh no, that is vile. So he buys bugs to eat. So they said it's becoming an issue financially. I'm sure. Because they're not cheap. I would've who buys cockroaches? Because you have to feed crickets to certain time of reptiles, I think.

unknown 6:52

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 6:54

Oh no. This man needs to get that sort. He needs to pick up smoking or vaping or something. Marijuana, that's legal in California. Come on. I think I'd rather you can eat a gummy.

SPEAKER_02 8:15

I'll underpress that. There's only nine additives. Oh. And only three are high risk. High risk for flavor. Oh my god, these are so good. Because of the texture. Mm-hmm. The texture really makes that whatever sugar granules or whatever granules. What are chocolate what chocolate inclusions? I don't know. What? Fake chocolate chips? Freeze-dried chocolate.

SPEAKER_00 8:42

Football Camps And Learning The Rules

SPEAKER_02 12:28

Like, oh, hey, warm weather football team. You know what really helps your feet out when you go to Chicago? Well, it was the kicker who made I am public who made a winning kick. Yeah. Yeah. Oh man.

And she's still gonna do it? Yeah, that's not that's not great. I don't think that's like best practice. Does she have Guyan Pepper in her socks? I don't know. I think she's she's hurt herself one too many times. Like I there's a certain amount of, you know, grit and determination, but there's also like she's she's been in so many Olympics and she has so many medals. I just feel like she has nothing to prove. Like your body's one of the greatest. Right? Your body doesn't want to do this. No. Your ACL doesn't want to do this.

unknown 13:45

Oh.

SPEAKER_02 13:46

Is that the door? I think someone's at our studio door, Nora.

SPEAKER_01 13:49

Let's take a peek. Hello! Yes!

SPEAKER_02 13:55

Oh my goodness! Goodbye! What brings you here in our neck of the woods?

SPEAKER_03 14:01

Well, it's always been one of my life priorities and one of my I've been manifesting being on this podcast, and it's finally a reality. Thank you.

SPEAKER_00 14:09

Welcome to Studio 316. We're so glad you're here.

SPEAKER_03 14:13

And I am so glad to be here. Thank you. What do you think of weather? Oh, are you so cold? No, I'm not. Okay. My husband was here a couple of days before I was, and as he was leaving the house, he was wearing a puffer vest with a collared shirt, and I said, short sleeve. And I said, Do you have enough warm things? He goes, Yeah, I'll be fine.

SPEAKER_00 14:33

Did he have a coat and his oh good question? Good question.

SPEAKER_03 14:37

Nope, nothing. He brought nothing else. And then the entire time he said he was freezing. So he ended up going to Target to get a hoodie. So that not a coat. Not a coach. Still not a coat. Like mind over matter. I don't just coat. Just hoodie. And so he so I was concerned because all he did was talk about how cold it was. So I think I overcomposited. And I've been a little bit sorry now. I've got many layers. Yeah, I was gonna now that I know this, I'm like, you have many shirts on. I have many layers on, and I'm I was and I had a coat and I had a hat beyond hat. That's where you go with first. I do. And there's been many times where I'm like, why do I feel so lethargic and weak? It's because I'm so off.

SPEAKER_02 15:24

It's because when you go inside, yeah, it's a problem.

Cayenne Pepper In Socks And Winter Hacks

SPEAKER_03 15:27

When you go inside, so when I go outside, I feel very refreshed.

SPEAKER_02 15:32

It does feel like we have a mall here that's mostly outdoor, and that's my favorite thing. Yes, my favorite thing about shopping there is because you're so hot in the store, and then you go outside and you're like, oh, I needed that little blast of gold. Right.

SPEAKER_03 15:44

It feels good. Yeah, exactly. So and one morning, are you wearing socks? Are the dogs out? No, I don't wear socks.

SPEAKER_02 15:52

Even in no actually, we got a little warm streak.

SPEAKER_03 15:57

I don't know. It's 29. Okay, I left Phoenix on Sunday and it was like almost 80. Dang. Is that normal for this time? It's not, but it'll get down to like the 50s and the nine. That's cool for us. Yeah. And then it'll just peak. Like you've probably seen a meme where it says it's winter in the morning, middle of the day, spring, afternoon, summer, and then you go back. So Texas was a little bit like that in Houston.

SPEAKER_00 16:25

And it's kind of like Arizona in the summer is Chicago in the winter because you're stuck inside.

SPEAKER_03 16:32

Hence why there's so many people who go back and forth between Chicago and Arizona. This is very true. Do you know any of those people in the show?

SPEAKER_00 16:42

You should ask, Jen. In fact, I do.

SPEAKER_02 16:46

Some of your favorite people, one might say. Yes.

SPEAKER_03 16:50

Well, family. But I I typically run into auto.

SPEAKER_00 16:54

Tell us what you tell us what you think about the vibe of the western suburbs. Le Grange, Western Springs.

SPEAKER_03 17:00

Because remind me, did you grow up in Arizona? Born and raised on the playground is where I spent most of my days. Chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool.

SPEAKER_02 17:08

So that song's about you.

SPEAKER_03 17:09

Shooting some people outside the school. No bother.

SPEAKER_01 17:15

Oh boy, you go in the wrong crowd.

SPEAKER_03 17:17

This is not the 90s episode. Oh, sorry. Sorry. No. Redirect.

SPEAKER_00 17:20

Redirect. Tell us what did you think about running errands in Western Springs?

Olympics Chat And Injury Grit

SPEAKER_03 17:25

Oh, it's funny you should ask because before I came to the Western suburbs today, I saw this thing and it was like Googling like, what would ChatGBT, how would they characterize this place as a person? So I Googled Western Springs. This is fascinating. It was. It had all the Western suburbs and it said it was like a it was your classic family-friendly person with small town charm and I I don't want to misquote it, but it was it was cute. So it was like, okay, fine.

SPEAKER_02 18:00

We were like vanilla, kind of just no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no.

SPEAKER_03 18:03

No. I could look it up. Yeah. Yeah. Hold on, hold on.

SPEAKER_02 18:06

You can do a thing on Chat TBT. I think if you're if you put your picture and someone else's like a celebrity's picture, you could see what your babies would look like. Not that I want more babies. I know I haven't done it. But and I'm because I haven't done it because I'm like, I don't want more babies.

SPEAKER_03 18:24

Like I've had a lot of babies. So this is what it's this is different than what I saw. Oh shoot. Okay earlier. It says if Western Springs, Illinois were a person, they'd be a highly successful 42-year-old executive living in a charming, updated historic home, exhibiting a polished yet approachable demeanor.

SPEAKER_02 18:38

Oh.

SPEAKER_03 18:39

I think that it's the nail right now.

SPEAKER_02 18:40

That's probably pretty. Yeah, that's accurate. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 18:43

Appearance. Although only classic and timeless, like the quiet, tree-lined streets of the village. Values, education, safety, and community tr tradition are paramount. Personality. Reliable, safe, and family-oriented. They are polished, but not over flashy.

SPEAKER_02 19:02

Interesting. We should make a dating profile for Western Springs. And then we'll see what other town we we ship with. Oh, who do you ship with? Look at me. That's probably old news now. No one's ship anymore. No, I think they do. This is fascinating. I love that you came from Arizona and taught us something about Western Springs.

SPEAKER_03 19:20

The more you know. We really appreciate you stopping by. The pleasure was all mine.

SPEAKER_00 19:25

SPEAKER_00 20:34

Well, it's easy. Just head down to 93rd in Cicero to Mike Haggerty Buick and GMC, and it's like sunshine on the corner.

And if you don't want to take a drive down there, you can go to their website, Haggertycars.com. Oh that sounds so refreshing and already makes me feel warm inside.

SPEAKER_00 21:05

I'm here for you, Nora. Thanks, Nora.

SPEAKER_02 21:09

And now back to the show. Our topic today is pillows. Pillow talk. And then there's a great quote. Have you ever seen Playing Strains and Automobiles? I did actually see it, but only once. When John Candy and Steve Martin had to share a hotel bed, and Steve Martin says to John Candy, Where are your hands? He's like, they're between two pillows.

SPEAKER_01 21:32

Steve Martin goes, those aren't pillows.

SPEAKER_02 21:39

Anyways, but we are talking about pillows. We are talking about pillows. Do you like pillows?

SPEAKER_01 21:47

Wouldn't it be funny if I said no?

Desert Vs Midwest Weather Layers

SPEAKER_02 21:50

Like, nope. Nope. Done. But sleeping. Like, I do. I am pretty particular about it. I like two pillows. Okay. I like One medium kind of firmness. And then one that's very soft. Like a down yes. So because I like to layer them. So I have my like firm one. On the bottom? On the bottom. And then I do the softy one. Cause I try to lay as flat as possible. Because sometimes my neck, like especially because my spine is crooked, I'm a side sleeper. Pillowcase off. And then you light it on fire. And then you have another one to use. I don't think the people that are bringing pillows on planes are packing extra pillowcase. And then you used to travel. Like when we would go on road trips, she would bring her own pillow. But now she doesn't use a pillow. But then it goes in the hotel and you get the hotel germs on it. I've thought about bringing my own pillow to New York a couple times just because I don't know. Because I did am a little particular about it. Okay. How often do you replace your pillow? Not that often. I'm like, never. I don't remember the last time I bought a new pillow, honestly. This article is like. Is it like a toothbrush? Two to seven years. And I was like, first of all, that's a weird range. Second of all. Oh, I would say probably Yeah, in the last few years. I guess every few years.

unknown 23:18

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 23:18

I have I was afraid to say like every six months. Pillows in Texas. Like mine are at least 10 years old. Well, they are? Yes. Like I've definitely moved. These pillows have been multiple houses. They have? Yes. Like the ones I sleep on, a hundred percent. That's a good firm pillow if it's still firm. But it's a good investment. But now it's in my brain where I'm like, oh boy, now I need new pillows. I mean I changed the pillow. No, I know.

unknown 23:40

I know.

SPEAKER_02 23:42

Girls. It doesn't flatten. Well, I like the top one to be flat. Yeah. Kind of like bunch them up. The girls, well, I guess the girls just got new pillows because they got new linens in their room. Mike last year got new linens. John did too. So theirs are all just a year too old. But yeah, I was like, oh wow. Have you ever heard of a husband pillow? That was very popular freshman year at Dayton. Everyone had husband pillows. It's not as scandalous as you think. Is it a It's like one of those pillows with the back on it and the arms? That's called a husband pillow. It's called a husband pillow. And it was funny, I googled it and there's an actual husband pillow company. Husbandpillow.com. Look at that lady. Well, she looks like Lucy.

SPEAKER_00 24:35

She's looking for a husband.

Western Suburbs As A Person

She just stopped eating crickets and went to gummies, it looks like. Yeah, it does. She got a good blowout. That's a husband pillow with like a neck roll, but we would just get them from like Bed, Bath, and Beyond. And it was nice because you could sit up in your bed and you know, read or do your homework if you didn't want to sit at your uh You didn't call them husband pillows. Yeah, we did. A husband pillow.

Oh, wait, can you put a oh you can can you dress him up? Yeah, you could put clothes on him. Okay. No Oh my god. So if you want a spoon, but do you want somebody to oh it's- Oh, what does it say?

SPEAKER_00 27:30

Do you want to hug feel the comfort of a real hug every night? Oh that's perfect for side sleeping.

Playful Banter And Studio On The Road

SPEAKER_02 27:37

Oh, that's you. That's me. And it is not a fun gift for any occasion. It really is not. If I was like happy anniversary, that's not a good anniversary gift. Oh my God. That was not the reason I had that website up, but wow. And they're sold out. Yeah. Which is hilarious. That is funny. Oh, there's a Super Bowl deal. You'll get 20% off. Five stars, too. Look at the reviews. Wow. All 65 people who have one. I don't know where to go from that. Did you use a pregnancy pillow?

SPEAKER_00 28:11

No, I was going to ask you about the boppy pillow.

SPEAKER_02 28:13

Oh, we did you ever have one of those? The boppy, of course. I never nursed any of our kids, but I used it to plot them. I nursed all my kids and it was must. Like it was a requirement. You could like position the kids. And it was very helpful for other stuff too. But what was the best about the boppy pillow? Is that's what my children and my nieces and nephew call their grandpa.

unknown 28:38

Wait. Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_02 28:41

Which they called him that before the boppy pillow was a thing. Well, like, because my oldest, my nephew started calling him that. And then when I was pregnant, I was like, Bobby, Bobby, wait, what? So that was always funny.

SPEAKER_00 28:52

That is funny, yeah. I just I remember those.

SPEAKER_02 28:54

I never had a pregnancy pillow, did you? I did. Oh, again, because my back is messed up. Loved it. Because it was like, it almost like shaped like a candy cane. So you could have, so your legs would be the pillow would be in between your legs, and then also under your belly, and then under your head. It was long. It was like body length. And then I remember Al every once in a while being like, You're not pregnant. Like, do you still need Brandon's pillow? Like, and then when I would get pregnant again, I'm like, bring it up!

SPEAKER_01 29:26

Bring it out! Bring out the pillow.

SPEAKER_02 29:28

It was so comfortable. I loved that. I was thinking more like decorative pillows and outdoor pillows. I love switching those up with each new season. I see, and I struggle with this. I need your help. I really do need you to take me to Home Goods or somewhere to style my couch for cushions and my mantle. I get two in my head and then I can't make choices, and then I just leave.

SPEAKER_00 29:52

I think it's helpful if you look at Inspo somewhere and like find it on Pinterest and then recreate it with your own vibes.

SPEAKER_02 29:59

Because I want pillows with a lot of colors in them, and I can get those at HomeGuts. You can't? I feel like they're all very monochromatic. I feel like they're grouped monochromatically, but I gotta look. We can go, we can take an adventure there. Kevin used to sleep with he was afraid of covers for a while, and you can just sleep under a body pillow. Like a coffin.

SPEAKER_03 30:23

So creepy.

SPEAKER_02 30:24

They don't recommend that. No, that's strange. I was thinking also about my pillowcases for a shower gift during all the wedding hoopla.

SPEAKER_00 30:34

I received white monogrammed pillowcases.

Main Topic: Pillows And Sleep

SPEAKER_02 30:38

Oh. And it was such a great gift because we still have them. Yeah. 20 years later. But they're so pretty. Well, I don't think they're as pretty as they once were. Oh well. But it's been 20 years. Yeah. But it's a good gift. I like a monogrammed anything, you know. I got as a gift, and it's one of my favorite things, a silk pillowcase. Oh, I have that written down. Because apparently you can get wrinkles from your pillows. Apparently it's good for hair and skin. That's what the girls are telling me. I do love this pillowcase. Do you sleep? Is it on your flat pillow? On my squishy one. It was given to me as a gift because a mom was talking about it and I was like, oh no, I don't have one. And then she's like, you need one. And sent it to me. Oh, that was nice. Mm-hmm. Yeah, it might be a little bit more. It's very, very nice to have one. Mm-hmm. But not me. Not this girl. We gotta get you one. Did you know about the two two one rule for pillows? Mm-mm. That sounds like a basketball play. It does. It's what interior designers use. Two large pillows, then two smaller coordinating pillows, and one accent or lumbar pillow in front of it. And that's for your bed? Mm-hmm. Uh oh wait. I'm trying to think. I have three, two, one. No, yeah, I have three two one on my bed. So that's not right. That's close. It's pretty close. Is that what you have on your bed? I have three, three, and then one really long one that goes all the way across. Okay. But yeah. Well, that's a nice, that's a nice guidance though. I appreciate that. We've come a long way though since Mesopotamia, because they had stone pillows. And do you know why they used them? To prevent bugs from crawling into their ears and mouths. Insects, yes. Yeah. Ears, noses, and mouth. Oh, yeah. Yeah. It's so crazy to me that that's what they keep from. Not that they were like, wow, let's elevate some comfort. Yeah. But that, and then the Egyptians used wood, Chinese used bronze and bamboo. Thank God for the Greeks, man, straw and feathers. Thank you, Greeks. Thank you. And then Henry VIII, he said that soft pillows were forbidden, that he saw them as a sign of weakness and that they were an unnecessary luxury, says the man with six wives. Yeah. But if you were pregnant, it was okay to a soft pillow. Okay. Mm-hmm. And then the Dutch, they slept sleeping up, like upright, upright. Like they would sleep kind of almost at 90 degrees. It's like when I was when I was in Amsterdam, I was like, God, they must have been really short. And the tour guide was like, you idiot. No. They sleep sitting up like this. So their beds were made really small because they never laid out flat. That's weird. It was called a box bed or a bed's tea. Why did they do that? Because they thought it was better for digestion and for your lungs, and they didn't want bad juices to go to their heads. Oh, sick. And they also associated being flat with being dead. And they also were afraid that if your mouth was open while you were sleeping, evil could come inside of your bathroom. I guess while you're sleeping, you don't have too much control mouth tape. I thought that was interesting about the Dutch.

SPEAKER_00 33:46

Glad I'm not Dutch. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 33:47

Well now they used to sleep like well.

SPEAKER_01 33:51

This isn't like the 17th. Not like imagine in the hotel. Like you checked into the Marriott Amsterdam and were like, good night. Like when you're sitting at an airplane. Oh.

SPEAKER_02 34:07

No, this is a long time. Okay. Now they lay down. They're not worried about dead juices. Juices.

SPEAKER_00 34:13

Bad juices. So gross. Bad juju. Should we launch into highs and lows? Yes.

SPEAKER_02 34:20

What's your low? My low is that John got sick. He got a rash on his face, which I didn't know what it was, so I gave him a bunch of Benadryl and then he was like, I'm fine. I'm just tired. Oh, yeah. And I took him to the doctor and it was fifths disease? None of my kids have ever had that.

SPEAKER_00 34:39

But they are not contagious once they have the rash.

SPEAKER_02 34:42

So like, well, you know. That's a really unnecessary rash. That's a really unnecessary name for it because it sounds much worse. Worse to say to you, fifth's disease. Yeah. So were you like, no, he's my fourth.

Travel Pillows, Replacing Pillows, And Habits

SPEAKER_00 34:56

No. No. But so he's been home because he was embarrassed, and now it's gone, but they just had a happy today.

SPEAKER_02 35:03

And so it's my low. Yeah, how about you? So I'm in musical season, and the first the opening number of the show is 10 pages long. So it's almost like a 10-minute like opening number. And I did all the choreography for it. I finished it yesterday. And then right before I came here, I was like, I don't know, I want to review it. And I can't remember what some of my notes mean. Oh no. So I was like, oh no. Do you ever video yourself doing it? Well, not often. Because the kids in the past have been like, can you make a video and email it to us? But they don't have email addresses. And I was like, I'm not emailing your parents videos of me dancing. Could you imagine? But now we have Google Classroom, and I'm I'm told them I'm a bit more comfortable posting videos to Google because still not awesome.

SPEAKER_00 35:53

That's nice that you have Google Classroom this year.

SPEAKER_02 35:55

That's huge. It's been great. But I've so I've got when we leave here, I've got to pick a couple run a couple errands, and then I've really gotta I've gotta study up on the studio. Studio 316? Yeah. Yeah. Heck yeah. Uh what about your high?

SPEAKER_00 36:10

My high is that one of my very best friends who stopped in at Studio 316 was here. Her husband was here for part of the weekend. She was here for the other part. Their daughter was here. So it was so fun to catch up.

SPEAKER_02 36:24

We went I'm so glad I got to see them. Quick downtown for a great dinner. Then she was out here to get a taste of the burbs. Yeah. And yeah. It was great. A little it's nice when people take the time to visit and you can kind of reconnect and catch up. That's awesome. How about you? You and Ryan are my high. Oh, that was so fun. We had a nightcap. We did. Two or three. It was it was such a nice time because we were so overdue for a catch-up, and it was it was just lovely. It was exactly what I needed. It was fun. Yeah, it was a perfect night. It was really, really nice. And I'm I want to stalk down that champagne you served because that was really good. It was good. I was telling my sister about it. Yeah. And I can't remember the name, but I have a picture of it. Low sugar. Yeah. Low calorie. Good taste. High taste. High taste. My stomach is grilling over that. Do you want an Oreo or a glass of bubbles? Ooh, maybe both. On that note, we'll catch you next week. Bye.
