Welcome back to Hashtag Sisters in Law with Kimberly Atkins' store, Jill Wine Banks, and Meen Joyce Vance. Barb is away this week.

It's almost here, y'all. It's the Hashtag Sisters in Law Live tour. We start our tour next week in Portland, Oregon on May 12.

The following week will be in New York City on May 19 and Washington, DC on May 21st.

And we are looking forward to meeting as many of our listeners as possible. The shows are mostly sold out, but you can still buy tickets at

Politicon.com slash tour where they're available, and you can also find that link in our show notes. But y'all I have to ask, are you excited?

What are you doing to get ready for the live shows, Kim?

Oh my goodness. I'm so excited that the next time we chat, we will be together. It has been way too long, and it'll be really, really fun to do it in front of an audience of our friends.

You know, I just, I'm bringing my excitement. I haven't thought that much more beyond it. I'm just, I'm, I'm, the energy is always so great when we're all in person.

It has been four years. It started when we would see each other in the green room at MSNBC. But it's great to get together and do the show live and feel that energy.

I'm just super excited. What about you, Joe?

I'm super excited. And the one time that we've all four been together in the same room was last fall in Texas. And it was so special to have that vibe that we have.

We right now we see each other on camera, even though our audience doesn't get to see the video. We at least can see each other when we're talking.

But being together is so special. I am worried about what to wear. And I need to know what the stage is like, whether it's going to be, I've, you know, had to get on stage where you're on these really high chairs.

And it's really awkward. So pants are a much better option than a skirt. But once I figure that out, I'll handle packing. I guess pretty well.

You know, I'm the same, Joe. And I just these days I only travel with a carry on bags. So I think I'm going to roll up a pair of black pants and a black sweater.

I had a little bit of luck shopping for knee black pants and I'll look the same every place. But it means I'll have room to bring my knitting in my suitcase, which is always my priority.

Kim, I love that you mentioned, you know, talking in the green room, the way we used to get together pre pandemic, which feels like another lifetime.

Because that was really the origin story for the podcast was sitting around talking in more detailed than we could on MSNBC and thinking, wouldn't it be fun to let people have a window in?

And so we've gone a long way from those old green room days. So before we get on the road, we've got one last show for you. And it's a big one because there is a lot of news.

We actually had to set aside things that we wanted to talk about to settle on just three topics for today.

We'll be discussing the verdict in the proud boys case. A new case, the Supreme Court has agreed to hear on the authority of executive branch agencies.
