Speaker 1 (00:58):
Hey, you know what's funny to me?
Every single episode.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Somehow, some way shan gets included in it well,
considering how every otherepisode she's in our title,
that's very valid.
Yep, hey, shan, first off,apologies if the sound is odd.
We do not have the whole setuptoday because we actually will
not be coming out with a fullepisode this week.
That's correct.
We're just jumping on to say hiand kind of fill in and let you
guys know what's going on.

can edit it and throw it up,because it is at the time of
this recording 10 15 tuesday,july 30th and our flights leave
tomorrow morning at 10 am andashley's just now packing.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Wow what a full circle.
This podcast has gone becauseyou remember, when we first
started the podcast way back injanuary, we were like, oh my god

gonna be doing chocolate fest.
And then we did the episode forchocolate fest and you're like
yeah, guess who didn't packuntil two hours before we're
getting on a plane.
Hey guys, it's the night before, not two hours before somebody.

o'clock in the morning, no, um,shout out to our friend jordan,
who's coming to pick us up inthe morning to drive us all the
way up to sanford internationalairport, um 45 minutes away from
orlando international, which is10 minutes away from here
because flights are expensivefrom there, so, so expensive, so
random word of advice If youever fly in and out of Orlando,
(02:48):
use Allegiant.
Fly direct into Sanfordinternational airport.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Does this mean we get our pickles tomorrow?
Speaker 2 (02:54):

, um another fun life update Ihave there's there's leaking
happening in my house I've got.
