can confirm or deny for me. But do you have
a collaboration coming out with Bencent Boone? That's what I
heard on the streets.

So I love Benson. He's a dear. I'm actually gonna
see him later today.

Speaker 4 (01:41):
But there's no actual song yet, but I think it's
just a matter of time until there'll be. It would
have to be the right song, the right timing for
both of us. But I'm obsessed with him and his voice, so.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
Same, same, We want that to happen. And you said
you might see him later. You're going to see him

all these I have a whole room in my house
filled with like notes that are on Like anybody is
probably walking into the room things I'm bat shit's crazy.

we're gonna ask some very random questions from our La
Boo Boo box. Okay, very very random, So just dig in.
We'll do about two.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
First one.

Speaker 3 (03:24):
My most used emoji. Uh, I think it's just a heart.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
Like Okay, I love an emoji. If you don't text
me with an emoji, I think that you hate me.

So no, I'm the same. I sometimes I only responded
with just an emoji.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
Yes, okay, that's a good one.

don't think I'm very often at the guest station. I
don't remember the last time being at a guest station.
