Okay, I'm super excited about this podcast because it's with my best friend from seventh and eighth grade Becky would her last name's Clinton now, but she's always gonna be Becky would to me.

I know I've talked about her a ton on this podcast.

She was such an important pivotal person in my life and not just her, but her entire family, her mom, her dad and her two brothers and sister.

We grew up directly across the street from each other and I spent every waking moment, I possibly could at their house and I think that's how I learned what a real family looks like with like warts and all.

They always loved each other, they fought like cats and dogs and they loved like cats and dogs and dad was in love with mom, mom was in love with dad and it was just a great, great thing to experience at that time in my life.

So I've wanted to talk to Becky forever because I really think that she, our friendship taught me what friendship is supposed to be.

So I was very lucky to have a friend that was as loyal and as as lovey, loving, as kind, as inclusive, as fun we laughed and had so much fun growing up doing just nothing or doing our homework together.

We just had a blast and I'm so grateful to her and I'm so grateful for her to come on this podcast and talk to me about how we were friends.

So I know it's not my typical podcast but I hope you enjoy it to Becky such a lovely person and maybe I don't know I learned some things in this podcast about how I form friendships these days I mean I I guess I had thought about how Becky affected how I choose my friends and the present but I hadn't really articulated it till this podcast I like measure people against that friendship to see.

Not if they're better or worse but if they fit in that same box you know that box was such a good box that I want my friends to fit in that same box so maybe it'll help you to.
