Hey everybody, welcome to another pop culture kiki episode of Beyond the Blinds.

As always, it's me Kelly Williams, and Troy McKity, and we want to remind you, we do have two shows coming up, one in Boston and one in November. The one in November, it's on a Wednesday. It's in New York, and that's basically a weekend.

Yeah, and you can come get a little drunk, leave with new friends, get more drunk, maybe go eat something. Like it's really, it's more beneficial to your life to come to be honest.

Right, and also in Boston, our show is on a Monday, but you know what, use a sick day the next day. Don't don't save your PTO for Christmas time, because people don't really work around them anyway. So come to our show and use your PTO day for the day after our show.

And again, get a little drunk and leave with new friends. That's what people always do. They always leave with a new friend or a group of friends.

Right, and we did get some DMs about people being nervous to go alone. Honestly, so many people have gone alone and left with friends.

I think people who go alone end up having the best experience, so like because they always leave with new friends, like it's not even like a, it's not like a by chance thing. It happens every single time.

You just see gaggles of people leaving like linked in arms. It's really cute.

And if you go alone, you don't have somebody like nudging you being like, what does this mean? What does that mean? You could just be there.

You're like your your friend who gets too drunk. That's like embarrassing. You know what I mean? Like you can just your own thing.

It's a beautiful time for everybody.

Exactly.

So we always start with what we're watching, basically. You guys know the drill. We're in like episode four of pop culture, Kiki.

I have to be honest. There's nothing new. I'm really watching. But the Jersey Shore family reunion with Sam is so much better.

Sam just brought them back to life.

They always needed her. Sam, I think this state. Well, I don't I think that they're all equally as important aside from Angelina.

I don't know. I just think Sam not being there for so long was like, you could feel it.

For sure. In the way that she showed up, I do think it was a genuine surprise. It's.

She's just been great and she has her little bitchy attitude. She's still the sweetest bitch we've ever met and it's great.

I love the way she showed up and I love their reactions. I love Dina's reaction. The most. It was so sweet.

And you don't really get moments like that. Like on reality TV anymore that aren't like fake. You know, it was just really cute.

For sure. And I love how much you love Dina. You guys if you didn't know Troy and I are like big Dina fans. So Dina, if you're listening, what's up?
