Episode Transcript
Mandy! Hello, Katie! Happy, happy birthday a day late. I hope you felt the love on your
birthday. Yeah, man. Good. Yeah, it was fine. Whatever. I know, right? My friend Kasey
sent me something this morning. I couldn't see it because it was a private account,
but the caption was something about how we're the freshmen of the old people.
That is so true. We're the freshman class of the old people. We are. So here we are. Here we are
for all I love. I kept telling people yesterday night, the fact that like friends that I met
in DC, I'm like, how are we now in our 50s? That's weird. It's just weird. Yeah, yeah.
We are, and it's fine. It's fine. I wish I had known in my 20s that the people that were
already 50 were not that old. I would have treated them very differently.
Listen, we loved. Well, and it's funny too because like when I worked to DC,
our friend Teresa was, Teresa's probably what? Teresa was in high school when I was born,
so she's not, you know, she wasn't 50. I was going to say 40s.
I vividly remember when she turned 40 because she got a Mercedes for her 40th birthday.
But yeah, like we love Teresa. We all love Teresa. Love Teresa. Lord.
Anyway, here we are. Here we are for all I love. What's going on with you, Katie?
Well, Maggie's weird, but the good kind of weird and we love her. Honey's coming around
to it slowly, but surely she's learned that if she is quicker than Maggie,
which is not hard to do, that she can get her spot on the sofa. But she hasn't quite learned
that if she follows me around, like gets up every time I get up that Maggie's going to
steal her spot. So we're working on that and some territorial issues as I get the side out
as we speak. I have said a lot this week. Maggie quit licking the walls.
I've also said a lot this week. My vanilla scented lotion does not mean I'm dessert.
So she's a licker. And if you can hear, I hope you can't hear snorting,
snoring, but she snorts, snores. Last night I put her in the kitchen and laundry room.
There's a crate in the laundry room that the cats have used and she's put herself in there
before. So it's not like she's, you know, averse to it, but I left the kitchen door open
so she could like roam that whole area if she wanted to. And so that went well. That
meant Honey and I could sleep and not listen to her snore all night. So that was nice.
So we're, we're working it out. We're, we're getting everybody settled. So that's nice.
And then the only other thing besides the Olympics going on this week
is today is we're recording on Wednesday. Today's Ash Wednesday
and the start of Lent. And it is the busy season for us in the church, but that's good.
It's good to be taking things on spiritually and doing a little bit more during this time. So
I hope all of you get your ashes today if you so choose and are one that celebrates
our services. I'm not giving anything up. I'm taking something on. So I have,
my whole church is taking on extra prayer for our missional partners. So every day there's
a specific topic to pray about. So we'll all be praying for the same thing on those days
for like the partner church we have over in Uganda, for our partner church up the road
in their food bank, for our different missional opportunities. So we, I'm taking something on,
not giving something up. Okay. There we go. Reframing. Yeah. So Mandy, what about you?
What's going on? Well, let's say Miss Mercy went to the vet. That was an adventure.
She had started, she had started TT on people's feet.
You know, when she got excited and met them on their feet. And at first I just thought,
okay, well, you know, it only happened if she had not paid in a while. And so I thought,
okay, well, you know, some dogs do that, whatever. But then she did it. Like the,
one of the cleaning guys was talking to her beside the elevator, like inside the little
lobby that we have and she peed there. So then I was like, I will clean it up. You
do not clean it up. So I went upstairs and got an owl and came back. And once you've had
a dog who's had enough UTIs, you will smell it. And so when I cleaned it out, I went, oh,
she's got a UTI. So we went to the vet Friday. You know, y'all will remember when we
went to Nashville for Thanksgiving, the dog just barked anytime anybody walked in the room
uncontrollably without ceasing barks. So we have made strides. We were able to go into the
vet. She greeted people without barking. And then we went into our exam room. And she sat there
without barking. And then a dog outside in the hall started barking. And then we were off,
we were off to the races. And so the tech had come in and gotten all the information,
whatever, whatever. And they had taken the P sample, which is always fun. But listen,
I can get a P sample from a dog meal. Thank you very much. So they had taken the P sample
to do the urinalysis on it. And that was taking a minute, which is why we were sitting
there for so long. So once she started getting amped up, I said, can we go outside and walk
around a little bit just to try to reset? And so we did. And when we came back in,
Dr. Wiggins, who I love more than my luggage, and the vet tech, Noah, who were there.
Listen, Dr. Wiggins, I have told her, I hope if I'm ever on a plane that's crashing,
I don't want you to also be on a crashing plane. But I would want you there because you
could calm me down. The woman can calm me down, which she thinks is hysterical. But anyway,
so she and Noah were waiting on us when we walked back in and Murphy greeted them like
she greets everybody. And so she let Dr. Wiggins look at her ears and she let Dr.
Wiggins look at her teeth and then she was done. And she backed up into the corner of
the exam room and just bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark. So I have been prepared for
this and bought a bunch of treats. So I just started throwing treats at Dr. Wiggins.
She would go over there and get a treat and then she'd come back and bark some more. So
we worked through that for a little bit. Eventually she was sitting in Dr. Wiggins' lap.
Love it. But it was funny because I told Dr. Wiggins when she was barking, I said,
I know she looks like Cujo right now, but she's not going to bite you. She's not
aggressive at all. And so later on she was like, you know, you're right. I kind of wondered
for a minute if she, you know, she might be Cujo, but she's not, is she? I said,
no, she's really not. Anyway, so we got an antibiotic for the UDI. And then Dr. Wiggins
said, have you thought about starting her on Prezac? And I said, you know, I did. I did
think about that. But I wanted to give her a little more time to decompress before we did.
And she said, okay, yeah, you know, I've had 15 dogs, 16 dogs at this point, so they tend to
let me, but when I told the rescue about it afterwards, Betsy was like, yeah, let's go
ahead and do it. I said, okay. So she started Prezac on Sunday. Good. So, yep, yep. So
we were, well, it's funny that I guess Moira, well no, Sage, my second foster was also
on Prezac because one morning she was on Prezac and 100 milligrams of Trisodone every morning,
which I've come to learn is not a lot of Trisodone. We really could have that Trisodone, but
one morning I was getting her pills ready to give to her and I pulled them out and I had
them in my hand and I popped them in my own mouth and took them. Oops. Night night,
100 milligrams of Trisodone. See you later. Oh my God, Andy. That's a Katie level activity.
Just, you know, just unconscious in the morning before your coffee.
Anyway, so Sage was on Prezac, but then Moira, we started on Prezac and the number of times I
have called Mercy Moira on accident, Dr. Wiggins also mentioned, she said she might
be getting the UTS. She said one of her honors have sort of a naturally recessed vulva
and Moira had a hooded vulva, which is where the skin actually came down over.
And so she had to have a vulvaplasty, which was basically a vagina lift
and recovery from that surgery almost did me in. It almost did me in. So when Dr. Wiggins
said, you know, I can't get a good look at her vulva because she was too busy, you know,
barking. She said, but you know, why are honors? And I was like, don't even say,
don't even say vulvaplasty to me. And she started laughing. I said, she already reminds
me of Moira. Like, don't even talk to me like that. So hopefully it'll just, it's just a one
off. And she's on so much. She's not on all that many meds. I mean, she is right now, but
they all have GI effects. So, you know, that's fine. But we're managing now. Okay.
Fingers crossed. She farts y'all. If you've ever seen these, my nephew loves to send me
TikTok videos of dogs farting. And if I could get this dog on camera, we would go viral
for sure. But I just kind of never know. Like this morning on the elevator, she sat down and it
was like, that's like, my God, that's my dog update. And then baseball, listen, college
baseball started this weekend. Love it. My sister's already been to a game at the Hawke
last night. Amazing. Yep. And then full squads have reported to spring training.
The big news in baseball though, y'all, and we'll get into the weeds on this a little later
because we had too much other stuff going on right now. But, you know, the baseball players
have a union and that union negotiates with the baseball owners to have a collective bargaining
agreement, which governs the terms of how baseball operates. And so those agreements
are typically, you know, right now they're like five years. So the last one happened
in 2021. This is part of why we lost Freddie Freeman. Right. It's because the collective
bargaining agreement expired in December. And so there could be no talks amongst any parties
as long as there was no collective bargaining agreement in place. And so then they had not
reached an agreement before it expired. And so then when they went back to start negotiations
again, they didn't have a lot of time because spring training was already shortened and they
had to get it done. And this is part of why we don't have Freddie Freeman anymore.
But anyway, so the next, the current one expires in December of this year.
So there's already all kinds of talk about how it's going to be bad. It's going to be a hard
negotiation because the owners really want a salary cap and the players absolutely do not want
a salary cap. Shocker. Yada, yada, yada. Well, to make matters even more interesting,
the head of the players union is a man named Tony Clark. If you listen to
If you listen to probably Torrey finds out, you might have heard some of the episodes about the
NFL players union and how there was a federal investigation into the NFL players union. And
it was found that there was some self-dealing going on inside the union and the players
representatives were not actually representing the players very well. Well, there has also
been a federal investigation into the baseball players union. And so when it was announced
yesterday that the head of the union Tony Clark was resigning, everyone assumed it was
probably linked to this federal investigation. What subsequently came out though is that Tony
Clark is having an affair with his sister-in-law who is an employee of the union as well.
It has not been clarified for me yet whether he's having an affair with his brother's wife
or his wife's sister. Either way. In any event, we are now, you know, in February
the players no longer have a head of their union. Which ain't great. A fella can't keep it
in his pants. Yeah. So that's going to be real interesting. Oh, I can't wait to deep dive into
this. My boy Ian Hap, who is the left fielder for the Cubs, whom I love,
he was like on the executive board for the players union. And they he and like two or
three other guys and I can't remember who else was with Ian. They tried to like shake things up
with the leadership a couple of years ago and were ultimately unsuccessful. And now I'm like,
y'all should have listened to Ian. He tried to tell y'all. Anyway, so that's that's a big
baseball scuttle. But right now it's gonna be interesting that and listen, the Braves have
no pitchers. All their pitchers have foreign bodies floating around in their elbows. What
are we doing? Great. Why did we not just pay Max Freed some damn money? Because that's not
our thing. You haven't explained that to us before. So that's the only reason I know it.
But we don't pay lots of money for people. There's one last picture who has not signed.
I think it's Lucas Giulio. But we'll see. Great. I my baseball excitement right now is
the videos of people bringing their babies to spring training. So cute happened on to
the corner of the internet. Oh, well, next time I'll send you the tick tock that I found. But
I can't. It may have been the Tampa Bay Rays. One of the teams had to bring your
kid to work day and apparently there was a baby boom on the team and they all had these
adorable littles. I did see I did see I think it was the Mariners Mariners. Okay. Yeah.
Two of their guys had their babies. I did see that. So cute. They also have they also have
their team dog. And there was an adorable video of Josh Naylor just feeding the dog.
What like doing his stretches and the dogs sitting there watching him and then he's like
giving the dog a treat and he's stretching some more. So cute. It's really cute.
Meanwhile, we have pictures with foreign bodies floating around their bodies.
And their freaking elbows. All of them. All of them. Why are our bones falling apart
in our elbow? What are we doing? What's going on with our training? Do we need more milk?
Apparently. There's a great dairy in Moultrie. I'm sure they would be glad
to be sponsors of the Braves. Right. When are they going to hire us to solve all the problems?
If they only would. We could do it. Lord. Okay. Well, let's talk about some Olympics,
Katie. Let's do that. So I was thinking today there's so much. There's so much that I
didn't want to do. Like Mandy, you tell us your favorite stuff and I tell a fake because
we've been texting and watching and catching each other up. And when Mandy's working,
I'll text her some things and vice versa. So I thought we would do our joys when we've
cried because of sadness. The controversies that are happening. And I added later some of
my favorite Olympic supporters. And I'm glad to see you've added some things to that too.
Let's get started. First of all, with the things that are making us happy. Now,
I will say some of these also made me cry. So these were tears of joy though. So
one of the first things that I love is our Olympic skaters, Alyssa Blue and
Is it Isabeau? They did so well in the short program. Alyssa Blue is just a delight.
If you haven't seen any video or interview of her, she's just happy to be there and it
shows in her skating and it shows in her demeanor and interviews. I just love her
more and more. And every time I still can't help but go, gosh, my gums hurt looking at
your piercings because they go down into her front teeth. I'm glad she does what she wants
and is who she is and is an individual and a lovely person, but gosh, that makes me hurt.
I'm old, I know, but whatever. And then Isabeau, if you've been following at all,
she is our third individual female skater that did not skate in the team group, but she
her family is from Milan. Her grandmama lives like 15 minutes from the ice rink.
And she's adorable. She's absolutely adorable. She's a beautiful skater. So that's been so
much fun to watch. That brought me a lot of joy. And
Mandy, if I wasn't already a USA fan, I think we said this last time
after the group competition, I would be a Japanese skater fan. They are amazing.
They are. And they're so cute. And they're just, you know, it's like, I can remember
when I used to be on the stage a lot. And even before I was on it watching,
you know, if you go, if you ever go to like a high school musical,
hopefully there's at least one kid who, when they walk out on the stage, you can relax.
They're not going to mess up. They got it. They own it. They're there. Right.
That's sort of how I feel when the Japanese skaters come out. Like they're good. They
got this. They got this. That last little girl, Johnny Weir said it best, I think he
said she, and she was so cute and she looked like she was 12, but he called her
an iron fist and a velvet glove. And that is such a great description. I think of most
of the Japanese skaters, they are fierce and powerful and great jumpers, but they are so
effortless and beautiful and they're artistic elements that it is just a delight to watch.
Indeed. Love it. Indeed. I love it. So I think the thing that made me cry the most this week
was our American bobsledders, both of them. Elana Myers Taylor won her first gold medal.
After all these Olympics, she had won many, many medals. She was our most awarded, already,
she was our most awarded black female athlete in the winter Olympics. But now with this gold,
she is the most decorated female athlete in the winter sports. But the thing that got me the
most was, first of all, when her nanny jumped into her arms, basically, and brought her two
boys, both of which are deaf, one of which has Down syndrome. And she signed to them, mommy,
I'm gonna cry right now. She signed to them mommy one. And it was the sweetest thing I
think I've ever seen. And what a, just amazing, just thinking about what she has to
go through on a daily basis with those boys anyway, trying to make them strong, wonderful,
seen and loved human beings, and then add in that she's a frickin warrior on that bobsled.
It's just amazing to me. And then also, our bronze medal winner is also a new mom. And so
she had her baby out there too. And so it really just was so empowering to me. I'm not
a mother, I've never been a mother, but just watching those women
balance all that they do and be so successful and so wonderful and so kind is just amazing.
I just love it. And I'm really, really, for those who are listening, I'm not lying,
I am actually crying again. But it was so fun to watch. So I'm so proud of all of them.
Yeah, yeah, they were they were awesome. And they, I would like to see a close up of their
calves. Oh, gosh, because they start off y'all pushing the sled. And they have little spikes
on their tippy toes. And so they run really, really fast on their tippy tippy toes,
pushing this sled and then they jump in. It's amazing. Like, what are we doing?
It's like the speed skater's thighs.
And and it's funny, I saw a thing with Colin. What's his name, Colin Yost? Yeah, from SNL.
And then also Jason Kelsey, who have both recently taken a ride in a sled.
I didn't realize, like, there's G force pulling you get they go 80 miles an hour
in the sled, y'all. Yeah. And there's like G force. Jason said it felt like his
like there was like a thousand pound weight on top of his body pressing him to the bottom
of that sled. Crazy. He said he thought it was gonna be like a roller coaster,
but it was not at all like a roller coaster. Also, and I know we're gonna talk about them
later. But I also feel like that coach for the US five side was totally recruiting Jason
Kelsey to be one of the team members. Right. So I just love that bobsled team. But
something that happened today, Mandy, that you watched that I was unfortunately in the shower
for. So tell us about what happened today that we're so excited about.
Mikayla Schifrin won both. Thank you, Lord. So it's just I've been looking,
I was trying to figure I had forgotten she ever won a gold medal because she bombed so bad at
last Olympics. But she actually won her first gold medal in Sochi in 2014 when she was 18 years
old. But and then she won again, I think in Pyeongchang, but it was like just the last
Olympics is when she just was a total but she didn't win anything. Yeah. But so now she
is the youngest and the oldest woman. Because she won it at 18. And now she has won it at 30.
Amazing. And that medal. Yep. And out not in so in alpine skiing, not just the slalom.
So yeah, that was good. That was good. And it was funny that when she finished, she just
sort of knelt down. She didn't celebrate. She didn't jump up and down. It was just
relief. Yeah, just relief, not joy, not exuberance, just relief. Oh, which God love
them. I just Oh, yeah, that's sort of the sort of leads me into my Olympic tears. The things
that have made us cry. Yeah, it is. Yeah. I'm getting a call from Babylon. I believe I'll
decline that. The speed skaters. Like we've had good results. Yeah. Yeah. But something
about speed skating is it is just this game of inches. It is just a side swipe just a hip
check from the person skating next to you can wipe you out. Yep. And I just have seen
so many of these people in the fact that they have trained for four years for this moment
and in an instant with nothing. You know, it's not like they failed to make their jump.
It's not like, you know, they didn't on the rail like they were supposed to like,
you know, it is just pure luck or lack thereof and they are completely
wiped out. It's just God. I hate that. I hate that. It is. It's what makes it exciting,
but it also is what makes it just devastating to watch. Did you see that? I think it was
the men's slalom and I can't remember where he's from. Maybe Switzerland. His grandfather
died the night of the opening ceremonies and he was really struggling and he like missed maybe
the third gate in the slalom and so or that may have been Alpine. I don't remember. Anyway,
it was it was up near the top and he missed whatever he was supposed to ski around and he
threw his poles on one side and then he took his skis off and he just walked into the woods
and laid down into the woods. Yeah, and just laid there like I can't.
I feel you, dude. It is, you know, we as spectators don't there's no way we can fathom
the pressure that these sweet, sweet people are under. We just take for granted that they're
at the top of their game and can do whatever they are trying to do. And, you know, the pressure
has got to be just exponentially harder than anything I've ever done. So two things happen
on the ice skating ice that made me cry. Fortunately, one of them kind of turned around
but that Japanese pair and again, I wish I had looked at their names. They deserve to be called
by name, but they were the the favorites. They've been skating together forever.
And as Scott Hamilton says, you can't win the medal in the short program, but you sure can
lose it. So you need to skate a clean program in the short to have a chance to win a medal
in ice skating. So they had a pretty big fall and wept and wept and he wept and she wept.
They thought all was lost after the short program. And then fortunately, they've
skated the most beautiful, the highest scoring performance of any since they've changed the
scoring system program that has ever been skated. And it was one of the most beautiful
things I've ever watched. And so they were able to stay on the podium. But my goodness,
to go from those tears of just devastation to tears of joy was just so much fun to watch.
Which you know, maybe maybe we can see it again in the women's program because our
girl Amber yesterday. Oh, it was heartbreaking y'all. She hit her hardest jumps, nailed them,
looked great. And then towards the end of her program, she just had one more easy easier jump
and just popped out of it. And just in that split second lost seven points. Seven. Oh,
oh, it was so sad. It was awful. And she immediately wept after her program was over.
Yeah. Yeah. Yes. Yes. And something else I did see that Lindsey Vonn has made it back to the states.
I don't know if you've seen the video of them transferring her. But those commercials that
they run every five minutes of Lindsey Vonn's medical team preparing her to ski, break my
heart. Because now you see her and she's not just in a cast or in a brace. Like that girl
has like 10 pins coming out of her entire leg. I mean, she is banged up. Yes. And
did you see the video that her sister posted that was like, just go ahead and drop out of
your dating apps and go to the ER in Italy. And she proceeds to film all the hot doctors
who have been taking care of Lindsey. I didn't even see the crash when it happened. I don't
know if I want to. It was just it didn't look that bad. Really? Okay. Apparently the binding
on her ski did not release as it was supposed to. It just shattered twisted.
Bigger feet.
Well, I hate that for her. I know she'll come back in some form. I doubt she'll ski anymore,
which is probably for the best. But I just it just just to get her back to the US with
almost basically a medical lifeline on a private jet with just her later. I mean,
it's crazy. But anyway, I just wish her all the best, of course, as we all do.
So now we get to some fun stuff, ma'am, unless you have something else she wanted to
to talk about in the crying part. No, no, because I'm ready to talk about
yes, my new favorite curling. Yes. And of all countries, right? The Canadian are cheating
at curling. I know. What are we doing? So the dude, I feel like his last name is Kennedy.
That's all I remember. He released the stone. And you know, they hold it by the
handle and then they let it go. Let it go. He kept his hand going and used his pointer
finger and just just popped. I will say I saw Katie, my, my, my,
his podcast, I love it's called a like he double booped is I think the official term for it
double booped. Uh huh. And he was like, I didn't double boop. What are you talking about?
Dropped an F bomb on the, on the, on the, what do they call that sheet? The sheet
of ice? I don't know what they call it. Yeah. When the, when the opposing player
called him out for it and said, you're cheating. He's like,
dropped an F bomb in the middle of competition. And then video just goes to show. Yeah. Yeah.
Totally, totally poked that thing. I think the one of the,
the thing about it is they work so hard to get that just right. And at the moment
he has released that stone, he didn't know whether it was a good throw or not.
So why are we booper? Like have the skill to do what you're there to do. Yeah.
Without having to double boop. Yeah. Booper.
So two things made me giggle about this. A lot of things made me angry and we can talk about
that. But one thing that made me giggle was that a lot of the Canadian, like regular Canadian
people were more angry that he cussed and was unsportsmanlike than that he cheated.
And then I love that the BBC has reporters in Canada and they interviewed people and
they showed him the video and everyone on was like, Oh no, he should not have done that.
Double boot. Double boot. And then he was so mad that people, because it's illegal
apparently to set up cameras that way, because it is supposed to be a gentleman sport. There
are no referees. And he was angrier that people were setting a camera up illegally
to catch him cheating. Well, no, okay. I hadn't heard it was illegal. What I heard
is that if you suspect that the cameras are typically at either end, but that if someone
says, I suspect something's going on, then the officials will position the camera so that
they can, but he may not, he obviously didn't know they were there.
And that's what made him mad is the Swedes. Was it the Swedes?
The Swedes did it without their knowledge. And so he was like, I would, you know, in essence,
he was saying, right. In essence, he was saying I wouldn't have cheated if I had known there
was a camera there. So they did it without his knowledge. Are we sure he's Canadian?
Right. Are we sure he's Canadian? I feel like he's from Florida.
I feel like he is from Florida. He is a Florida man.
It has been wild. So I heard a couple of places, like I was curling is one of those
things that I watched, but I have on kind of as a crackpot. And so I thought maybe,
Mandy, I don't know if you heard this, did they accuse the women too, at some point?
Not in this Olympics, but I think in the past. And he's been accused in the past of
the same thing. Canadians. Come on.
In the summer Olympics that the, I can't remember what sport it was, but the Canadians
were using drones to fly over softball. They were using drones to fly over somebody's
practice. Yeah. Like of all the people, Russians. Yeah. Yeah. I would respect the Russians.
I know. Come on, do better Canadians. You're supposed to be the, you know, the much better
example of how to be for us Americans. And here you are. Come on.
So I know the other thing, like in general, French judges make me angry and I know we've
talked a lot about the ice dancers, but what they've done gone back now, and I don't know
if we've, I don't think we've talked about this part. They've gone back and analyzed
all the judging and the ice dancing competition. And the French judge clearly
favored the French over everyone else. Like their scores were at least five points higher
for the French payer than every, every other judge. And it was an outlier.
So I'm just going to say, I'm sure France is a lovely place, but I'm not
sure I trust French people in sport because then there was that Alpine skier who stole her
teammate's credit card and was given six months probation, but is still allowed to come
and participate. Like I did not hear about her. What are we doing? Oh yeah. One of the
biathletes, I think stole her teammates credit card number and bought shit with it
and was arrested for it. I'm just, listen, I'm just pissed. I'm just pissed about the ice
dancing. This is going to go down like Michelle Kwan. Yes. Speaking of which, which I was
going to talk about this a little bit and my favorites, but can we talk about how much I
love my like old school Olympic loving friends because my friend Dixie, my college roommate,
she and I, like, she's like, she's with us. Although she does not like the Japanese. She
may have dropped the Canadian cuss word along with the Japanese. They were beating us.
Okay. But she, we are such mind meld that I swear, because one of the things I miss about
the way, like the wall to wall coverage is great. Like we can watch whatever we want to watch.
Yeah, it's great. I miss the uber produced prime time. Like they still do at some,
which you don't know because you're not really watching a lot of prime time.
But when we were growing up, they would do produced pieces, not just on American athletes.
Like, listen, I can tell you all about some villages in Romania. Yes. Because of the
Romanian gymnast. Yeah. It really strengthened our resolve against the cold war. When we saw
with these children having to go through propaganda. Yeah. Anyway, I've missed those
pieces. So I had actually thought about like a thing about like the whole Michelle Kwan,
