Mandy called well. You have rosy cheeks again. Well listen, sometimes I have just started fleshing inexplicably. Yeah. But I got to get posed in about a month in the crazy state and I'm already like, what am I going to do with this fleshing that I do? Yes. Well you at least look like you feel better. Well thanks. I am feeling better than I was when last week's boat and beginning to feel human again. Good. Don't feel great. Don't feel great. And we'll say have that. If you've had an installation, you know how exhausted you are for so long afterwards and you're like, I think that's not so exhausted and so I've got that on top of anyway, we're better. We're better. We're better. We'll take it. Yeah. I did one of the side effects of this antibiotic is that it causes people to have ruptured Achilles tendons. How random is that? Okay. It's the same antibiotic that I take in February. It's so different. I'm taking leather plin and I took cipra and but it's the same class. And I didn't have any of those side effects whether when I took the cipra. I woke up the other night and I think my foot was just in a funny position. But you know how you kind of wake up and you're like, I need to move my foot and then I was like, Oh, I killed this on fire. I tore my Achilles in my sleep. Right. Next one was I'm not stopping that day. I'm not stopping that day. Please don't. Yeah, but Achilles seems to be fine. Well, that's good. Yeah. And I was like, sorry my friends, Bert, you can see about it. And I said something about, I mean, surely in case he was like, I don't know, I mean, I don't know if you've noticed this about yourself, but you did you want to, in the key percent of rare. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway. Yeah. So she's human. She's human. She's back to being bothered by things and listen. I'm not alone in this. I've posted some of that on Instagram in the responses that I have. I'm alone in this. I've posted some of that on Instagram in the responses that I have gotten from said post. This stupid blue origin space trip girl. I'm reminded of how I felt when John McCain nominated Sarah Palin as his vice presidential pick. Which was don't insult me like that. I am not dumb enough to think that you slapped some celebrities, some celebrities, some suit of celebrities. Mm hmm. Yeah. And a designer space suit. Send them into space in your giant fallace. Right. For 11 minutes. And drop them back to earth and that that means. Anything at all. Nothing. With the state of women. No. All that said that is not an inspiration to little girls. All that is teaching them is that you should get Botox and lip fillers and exercise all the time so that you can. Date the second richest man in the world. Who will compensate for his shortcomings by building giant rockets shaped like a penis and boobs. Don't forget all their boobs. And then they want to wipe you a boyfriend hat. I'm surprised that he didn't make them wear bathing suits bikinis on it. It's just the stupidest thing. Especially when we're decimating NASA. Yes. When we're decimating funding for research and real science. It's insulting, but really it's insulting because it's just so fucking stupid. So I saw Gail King try to defend it about... I'm not really so disappointed in a person. No, about something about doing things in space. And I was like, y'all didn't do anything. You didn't research anything. You didn't try anything. You didn't do anything. It was nothing. You're not an astronaut. No. We're a passenger. So it's been a week or less than nine. It said, if that blue origin trip made them astronauts, then I'm an OBGYN. It's been, it's been ten minutes in a rocket makes you an astronaut than I'm an OBGYN. It's like, where you guys? I just, it's just, it's just, I'm going to add hand surgery in Timon because I had a ten minute hand surgery. I mean, it's just ass and I'm insulting, just listen. You haven't got like, other than Gail King and Katy Perry and whoever else was on there. Like, you haven't inspired a single woman. None of us are inspired. And none of us can afford to do it. And I don't have these people not watched that Apple TV show. I can't remember the name of it. I'm a working up in a minute. Something mankind for all mankind. Yes, for all mankind. Yes. Have y'all not watched that show? I'm not sure. Have y'all not seen what happens when they try to build a hotel in space? Nothing good. And can we talk about the irony of these billionaires trying to destroy, just slash and burn everything. And in the meantime, they're building rockets. Like, what are they going to do? Ruin everything and then get in their penis and fly out of space to escape it. Yeah. It's, it's like, my friend had their also said, it's like, it's, it's like space balls. It's like, it's like, it's like, it is. It is space balls. It's the dumbest thing. It's one of the quietest times I've seen your own what it was, but that's it. Space balls. Space balls. And why don't we, why do we live in this time on where all this farce and saffa satire, saffa? Listen, the brain's great. What is the problem with how farce and saffa are lives? I don't know. It's either farce, saffa or just stupian, health scape. Yeah. It's all lipa. It's all that is. Here we are. Listen, we're here for your joy in upliftment. I'm making it words left and right. I love it. This is my favorite version of Mandy. Why we're at it? Can we talk about those mesh shoes? Can we please? I'm a big fan. I was a big fan of jelly shoes in 1984. Yep. I may have even owned a clear pair. I did. There's something about these mesh. You look like you have put the wicker, paper, plate holder that our moms use on Sunday nights when they were done in the kitchen and you had a scrambled egg sandwich just me, whatever. You look like you put one of those on your feet. Except it's not even that because those were way than tighter. I don't know. Those shoes just gross me out. It's like your feet are naked and just let your feet be naked. Don't put your foot in a basket that's too holy to hold anything. And how should pinkie toe not fall out of that? Mine would. My sister could not wear those shoes. My sister has her toes look like fingers. Her second toe and third toe or twice as long as her thumb toe. Okay. Her toes too toes will be poking out of these holes. What? I don't have to just listen. I can't. You do you, but just know if you're wearing those shoes and first of me out. There are a lot of shoes. There's a shoe store. I will not name because I like the person that ends up. And they had advertised some shoes the other day and it said, look at these beauties or something. I took a screenshot of it and sent a friend of mine and said, nope, no, they're really not. Those shoes are not calling my name. I had on my time hop today. I had taken a picture. Like a Facebook ad maybe for about 12 years ago. And it was like your new work from hand wardrobe. And it was a bathing suit. And a headband. What? I don't know. What? What? What? What? Like at the end of the beach, I'm not working in the bed and say people have lost their damn minds. And in that same ring. Okay. Do we wear a bit of a wily? Yes, I saw wily. I didn't see what it was because I figured you'd talk about it, but I saw that he's in trouble and I wanted to ask you about it. So I'm glad it's on your list. And wily ballard is brave sideline reporter. He started with him last year and it was sort of a big deal because they had fired Kelly Crowell who had been the sideline reporter for several years with people like. And they brought in wily and wily did a third of the season and then two other young women did a third of the season. I don't know if it was like an extended audition or what. Anyway, so wily's back this year. We love wily. Wily is the one that I yelled in weird Chicago last year. The white socks game we got. He is told I said, why wily? Where's your milkshake? And it went. It was in the background of a thousand videos because everybody was filming Spencer Strider signing our grass. Purchase wily's aunt and she subsequently told wily that she knew the girl who he could yell. He was nice and whatever. He was nice to me on Twitter. We love wily. So Georgia Tech grad probably, I don't know, wily's not 30, I don't think. Just the nicest guy. Just the nicest guy. So the brides are currently in Toronto. Their first game was Monday in Toronto or Tuesday. Anyway, doesn't matter. There is a portion of the stadium in Toronto called like the Corona blah blah blah, some area that's sponsored by Corona. And so they said, we're going to send wily out to the Corona blah blah blah. So sure enough, there's wily and he's staying in there and there's two beautiful blonde girls sitting there, very Canadian looking blonde. You know, they look like they just come from work and their coats and love us. And wily's staying in between them. And the guys in the booth are like, wily, get their number, get their number. And you just see wily like talking, you know, wily's interviewing them, whatever. And then at one point, he like puts his elbow on the table and he's clearly talking to one girl. And he just looks over to the camera and he gives the camera at least. It was so awesome. It was the cutest thing you've ever seen. The girl gave wily her number. Like it was great. The braids won. They scored eight runs, which they have not done. Again, it was just like great. It was great. So then people who are not brave fans who have probably never watched a braids recap in their life. I mean, braids gang in their lives. See the clip on social media of this reporter talking to a girl looking at the camera and winking. And so the shit just hit the fan of people being like, this is completely inappropriate. He's supposed to be blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Okay, listen, I'm older than that to remember when Brent Misfarger was creeping on that Alabama quarterbacks girlfriend. Yes. So hard that it was very uncomfortable to watch. I'm older than that to remember that. Yep. I mean, disgusting predatory behavior during a sports ball game. Yes. This was not that. No. It was not that. This woman was obviously like wily was not out of bounds at all. He was chatting these girls up. She voluntarily gave him for number. It's fun. Can we do it like it was fun? Can we have fun again? And listen, I can get it if you've never watched the braids gang. That might be troubling, but maybe learn a little bit about it before you go spouting your opinion all over the interwebs. But it was funny how braids Twitter immediately rally around wily. Everybody's like, oh, I like time and far boy. We love wily. We love it. Yeah. But anyway, in other braids news, we can't win two games in a row. Oh, is that it? The good news is we can win a game because that was questionable for a while, but we can't win two games in a row. We can't win. We actually won the Billy series. So we took the series from the Phillies, which was big. But then we went to Tampa and shit the bad. And now we're in Toronto won the first game, the Wily Ballard game. The Wily Ballard? Forever now will be known as. Right. We won that game. The loss last night and now we're playing right now, Spencer Striders come back. So excited. Good. So yeah, we'll see what happens. And we just can't win two games here. Which, you know, if in my head, my calculations are correct, that's at least going to be a 50-50 season. If, if eventually we win two things in a row, because remember, we started own. Right. So to get the 50-50, we're at least going to have to a couple of times win two games. Yeah. Wow. Yikes. I did see where the, um, the Commodore, um, they also got. Well, like, they last night, they did well, but they got swept. Where were they last weekend? I can't remember now. I don't know. Last weekend. Uh, or. Um, stays still. Yes, ma'am. That's awful. Not so far. Okay. Okay. All right. All right. All right. Actually, they, um, um, they came back in one Sunday afternoon. They did not get swept, but they lost the first two games. Mm. Yikes. Yeah. Yeah. Nice. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, you know what, Ole Miss beat Tennessee. We love it when the, uh, that orange. Otty, otty. Thank you very much. Yep. That's the same. I thought the cuts are doing real well. I did see you posted a picture of your boyfriends together. Who re-nighted, Danesweet and Freddie. Um, you have the Cubs took the series from the Dodgers. And now they are in CDA. Go, CDA goes actually, uh, at the top of the NL West, right? Mm. You know, they had not lost a game at home. Until last night. Oh. And to beat them in extra inning. Oh. Oh. So I think that they took. I think that was their third game. I think they took that series. There we go. Well, they're hot. But favorite. Yeah. Yeah. One of our favorite cabbie pictures. Justin steal from Lisa Alvam. I mean, Lisa Mississippi. Um, I'm of all the cold levels. Uh, I've got to have Tommy. No. That stinks. That does. Is that a season? Ender at this point. I think it would be right. Yeah. Three years. Yeah. That's what. So Strider just came back today. And it had been over a year. Really. So. I guess so. I guess so. I guess so. I guess time just flies when you're doing whatever. Or he was supposed to start that game. We saw in Chicago. That's right. And he. I think that's what I'm going to say. I'm going to say. I'm going to say. That's what I'm going to say. So I'm going to say. I'm going to say. I'm going to say. That's right. And he. It got right now. And so he started. The next game. And that. That was his second appearance of the season. And those were the only two games he picked last year. That's right. So. Anyway. That's my. Right and sending. Update. Katie. What's been going on with you? Um. Holy. I killed me. I mean, I did it to myself. I did it to myself. And it's not really wholly weak. I mean. I did preach on Monday at Mulberry, which was lovely and always good. You know, I get an ego boost when I walk in that place because everybody's so excited to say me and that doesn't happen a lot, you know. So. It was great. Everybody was very supportive. It was a nice crowd of people. Um. But I mean, I meant I had to write an extra sermon for the week, which was fine, but I thought, oh, I can do that, that's no problem. Because I don't have to plan the services. I don't have to do any of the work. I just have to show up and preach. Right. In the middle of the end of the semester with finals and I had told, anyway, I've scheduled myself a lot this week. I'm trying to kill myself this Holy Week is what I'm trying to do. So yeah, all good. It'll be May 5th, not May 5th. May 10th is coming up, so it will be a lot better. So I'm really excited to be done. Do you have like a graduation ceremony and all that? Yes. So I graduate May 10th. I thought about not going at all, but I am gonna go, I got my regalia. And so I'm gonna be up there. Yeah, and it's for some other day weekend. And so that means I gotta turn right back around after I graduate and come home to preach the next day. So there we go. So that's just the life. Yes, such is the life, such is the life. I can definitely tell my brain is done with all this stuff. Earlier in the semester, I've got a great professor, who's kinda spreading our last biggest assignment out over the semester for us, so different parts of it are due. And the first part was just to decide what you wanna write about and then meet with him about it. And I did that. And then when the paper was due, I wrote about something totally different. Hello, you know. He's like, there's similar enough, it's fine. No problem. I was like, okay, well, here we are. I'm very, very sorry. But I wrote the wrong paper. But he's good, it's fine. It's still just proof positive that my brain is done. It's over. It's done. It's still all over. Done. The second proof positive of that is it took me two months to read the Frozen River. But I finally finished it because I went and got my toes done ahead of graduation. And I was sitting in a chair and not wanting to talk to anybody, so I finally finished it. Good. Yeah, it was really good. I had said I recommended it before, but that's been about two months because it's been on my bedside nightstand that long. We got it. The only other thing that happened this week was the masters. And our food was delicious. If you've got a crowd that you want to do, I highly recommend that box. It was worth it. I'm still eating on the stuff and it's so, so good. And we had the best time and it was fun. And it was just great. So as with everything else we've talked about, like what Mandy talked about with, well, everything, we've talked about lately. There's always backlash. They got mad at Rory for not walking up with his wife. After he tried to leave her or whatever, anyway, there's always gonna be somebody. But it's always very sweet. I did too. Yeah. Yeah. So did you watch Mandy? I watched like the last three holes. So did your, my heart dropped on 18 when Rory missed that part? I mean, just dropped. I was like, I was like, I, oh my God. Listen, what's the, the seminal, the seminal master of my childhood is the Greg Norman Nick Faldo with Greg Norman just absolutely blue. I'll be back. I'll send back. And I don't think he's still over it. He's still not over it. I don't think any of us are. Like I don't think you can have lived through that and watch that epic, epic blow up. And epic not just be a stressful blow to the back, none of the masters on us. Yeah. Of course, that was a shit head. So I'm kind of well, that's what I'm saying. I don't think you ever got it. I think he still pissed about it and still taking it out on the rest of us. That's a therapy. He's like, I don't need no green jacket. I got a salty money. Well, he said that's a therapy. So gross. Yeah. So yeah, it was a good one. I liked that timeline. It felt cabeza. It felt like it flanced for our timeline. It did. It really did. I would've been fine. I like Justin Rose. I think he's cute as a button. I follow him. He's on that full swing. So I'm because he's in charge of the Europe. He's the team captain for Europe and the rider cop. And so I like him. I would, it would've been great. And I hope he does eventually win. Because he had a really great weekend. He also screwed the pitch on Saturday and put himself way far behind. So I mean, he had a great comeback Sunday to where he did. So he has a lot to be proud of. So I think that was good. It was just good TV. So as always. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, maybe that's my week. Tell me about your food. I'm very excited about this. Because I'm going to be near a traitor Joe's and I'm going to get all the things. Like my very detailed recipe. Oh, it's amazing. So when I stopped in Trader Joe's back like several weeks before my surgery and bought entirely too much stuff and filled my freezer up, one of the things I bought was a, they haven't, they had a new frozen nookie that I had not seen. And it's stuffed with mozzarella and tomato sauce. So I bought a bag of that. And so last night I threw it on the sheet pan. Put down either parchment or nonstick aluminum foil. Or you can use regular aluminum foil and just put a lot of oil. But you just throw the frozen nookie on the sheet pan and then I have some Italian sausage. And I just slice that and throw that on the sheet pan. Feature oven 425, throw that in there for 10 minutes. And then after 10 minutes, like stir everything around. And then after you send a ruler on top of that to a ruler on top. Put it back in for about seven more minutes. And that's it. So you could also weigh until it all out of the oven and then just stir your arugula in to the hot nookie and sausage. And that would probably be fine too. My rule was just on the verge of being gross. And so I wanted to cook it so I didn't encounter any grossness. Yeah. But so I don't, literally, yeah, I did have a little, I didn't have some tomato sauce, like just the jar of tomato sauce. That's what I was gonna have. For dryers, I did like a spoonful. Okay. That was really it. Okay. I wanted to be back. You don't have to. The other thing I was gonna, I don't love arugula. It's not my favorite. What do you think about spinach for that? It's a good to be eaten. Okay. Cause that sounds really good to me. And I wanted a traitor Joe's. So I'm gonna look for that definitely. Three ingredients. Some amazing. I want to keep being. And if you put the stuff down on the sheet fan, don't even have to scrub the sheet pan. I love it. I love it. I highly recommend. Yes. Yes. How about your favorites, Katie? What's on the list this week? In fact, I forgot to add one. I won't add it right now while we talk, but it's a sub stack. But I, you know, I'm so thankful that I've lost as much weight as I have. I have made it. The first number has switched. So I'm very excited about that. Awesome. But that means I got about everything new. And I never wanted to wear shorts before because, I just didn't. But I found some things that old Navy that were on very big sale several weeks ago. I don't know if they still are, but what I liked about these, what I love about these is the mid-rise stretch tech run shorts. They're very affordable, but they have a four inch inseam. And not everything has a four inch, most of them are three or three and a half for all those little girls with tiny little waist and tiny little legs. And that's not me anymore. I mean, not since high school. So I really like them. They're very comfortable. I highly recommend. I also... Yes, they have pockets. They do. I've also gone on today as a matter of fact, the how-wasted cargo ankle pants. And they're very lightweight. And so they're perfect for this time of year and even into early summer. I really liked them very much. And so I'll put those on there as well. I can't wait. Yeah, and very affordable, very affordable. The other thing that I'm liking right now on TV because there's not a whole lot of new stuff out is a show called Mobland on Paramount Plus. And it's with Pierce Brosnan, Tom Hardy, and Helen Mirren. And it is so good. Helen Mirren plays the best unruly lady. She is wild in this. And it is so good. She's really really good. Really, really good. She... And this is not like a big secret or anything, but she is definitely the head of the Crown family. She's married to Pierce Brosnan, but she tells him exactly what to do and when to do it. And then of course, Tom Hardy's just pretty to look at to me. So I mean, I don't mind that he's in it either. But like one of the mates from Downton Abbey plays Tom Hardy's wife. Like the cast is really good. You'll recognize a lot of them. So definitely check that out. And then I know it's not my way for food, but I had a bunch of leftover masters ex-salad. And I had done some pickled red onions, which I've never done before. You can Google it and get five million different ways to do pickled red onions are so easy. If you love them, don't buy them, just make them. Cause it's like three ingredients and you just put it in a jar, that's it. So, and then I've just been putting them on crackers and they're so good. Cause they don't put pickled relish in their... Put in their egg salad like I do. And so when I was gonna put some in there, or chop up some bread and butter pickles to put in there, I saw those in my refrigerator and I was, oh, let me try some of those pickled red onions on that ex-salad and I was not wrong. It's delicious. The other thing, the last thing and I'm... And I'm gonna... I hate the red onion. The sister hates the red onion. So I like don't ever even buy them. Just cause it's your kind of house and there was a red onion. She might disown me. Well, there's just, there's so different when you pick a lamb. And so I love them cause there... Yeah, yeah, yeah, I get it. A lot of people don't. A lot of people don't. But I love them and I've never made them before. I don't know why. So the other thing that I have subscribed to on Substack is a girl that I follow on TikTok. And it's called the Unruly Ladies League. And she started on TikTok. She loves design. She loves southern like antique king. But she's also very blue dot, very progressive. Talks a lot about the things we talk about on here but in a lot more detail. And the comment section in TikTok just wasn't good enough. So what she's done has gone in and started on Substack this group called Unruly Ladies League. And it's for blue dot women all over wherever. And it's just creating a great community. And I fortunately have a bunch of blue dots around me. So I don't feel as alone as a lot of people do. Deep, deep in the mega world. But it's been really a plifting to know that we are not alone in this world. That we may not be or have traditionally been the most vocal groups out there. But there are good people that are trying to make a difference in the world. And so I recommend you go and follow the Unruly Ladies League on Substack. And she's also got a Slack community. So when you subscribe to Substack, you get added to the Slack, which is where we chat and it's a safe space. So anyway, it's really good. Yeah. You're welcome. So you got Easter, finishing school, or you can go outside next week? Well, next week I won't have honey bee with me because she's going to be getting our heartworm treatment. I take her Monday and pick her up the following Monday because in that time I got to Atlanta for honors day for graduation. And because she has to be still and chill. I mean, we're going to have to drug her. I mean, there's no way around it. We're just going to have to. I trust that they know what they're doing. Not that my friends don't. But what I don't want to put, I mean, what kind of pressure would that be? Not to kill off somebody's dog while you care for them while they're out of town. So, you know, it's, it's very important, apparently, that she stay real calm. I don't know the ins and outs of it. I just trust the people that do. And so that's what they tell me. So the next month or so, anytime I go anywhere, she's going to be at the vet. And otherwise she'll be with me and sedated. Because she does easily get wound up. And so. And you know, especially like after that first two weeks, and they depend, yeah, I don't even know how many part-worm dogs I've had this for me. And it depends. Some of them, you remember like Jenny. Jenny. Jenny. She really struggled. Yeah. And then dash really struggled. The rest of you know, we're fine. And so it's not like you don't have to like, it's not like that they can't move around. Right. Right. You know, you don't want them running in for all again and chasing and you know, definitely have to be on the leash if you go outside. Yep. I mean, Jenny, Jenny got to the point where it was like, no, she can't. Yeah. Like she can go out to pee and come right back in. And that's all the walking and meeting around she can do. Yeah. And for her, it's going to be more the anxiety that gets her heart pumping. She gets really nervous and really anxious, which I'm working on. But you know, until we're done with this heartworm thing, I cannot put her through anything else. So, but to me, that's where she's going to have the hardest time is just the anxiety part of it. Like even if we're not going to the bit, if I put her in the car sometimes, sometimes not, she starts shaking. Yeah. You know, so, you know, it's just, you know, we're going to, we've got a lot to work on and that's all fine. But I just worry that that kind of thing is really going to send her over the edge. So, I'm going to make sure I get enough drugs to keep her calm. So then we'll be here for you. Yep. And heaven help us if we have a storm. Not all right. Right. And so, anyway, that starts next week. And so I'm glad to have that behind us is. Be willing to share with you. Yep. So, I won't have her with me. And then I'll be up in Atlanta. So that's what I'm doing next week. I'm very excited. Thank you. We're going to. Very well. Okay. Thank you. I got an happen. Do you go back to the, it's not doctor? Not till April 29. Okay. All right. We'll just more recovery then. Yes. Yeah. I mean, little miss thanks finally awake. She snored to the whole thing. Say, she knows who we're talking about her. Yeah. All right. Everybody have a good week. Have a good week, everybody. Go find your people.
