Welcome back to another episode of 30 Minute Thursdays.

It is what's seeming to be your new host on this. Jason is the part of me. He's left me in the trenches, taking grenades. He's on another work trip. And my man, Jason, we do this for a living. You might want to start bringing your podcast equipment on the road. But guess what we did, folks? We called in an audible. We called in someone for the bullpen. We had Blake Horsman on last weekend.

I would say argue it was an upgrade.

We have the one, the only, Catherine Hurley today up on 30-minute Thursdays.

Catherine, thank you so much for making Jason's seat look so much better than it normally does.

Welcome to your first 30-minute Thursday.

Yeah, thanks.

I'm bumping him out of his

job when I'm coming for coming for the podcast. Exactly. And now you were just on with your episode,

which I actually want to get into a little bit later in this 30-minute Thursday as we kind of recap

sister snacking. I want to recap a little bit of your episode. But for those who are listening who

maybe, you know, maybe they just edged a little closer on the edge. But for those who are listening who maybe, you know,

maybe they just edged a little closer on the edge of their seat because they heard that

you're on and they're excited to hear from you. This is the Catherine and I, we've met,

we've met twice before. Two lovely occasions. Yeah, just twice. Well, the first time it was over

a weekend, we first got to know each other last year. And it was, it was an awesome weekend. And then obviously you got to meet Ashley when we recorded JTA this year, which was an unbelievably fun night. So I'm happy that we get to kind of, you know, get on the ones and twos and see what this is all about.

I'm so happy to be here. I do feel like the first time we met technically was on that FaceTime at like two in the morning that it was extended. So I feel like that was at least that was like a half a hang. Well, you know what's perfect about that? When we met on the FaceTime at 2 a.m. You were cooking sourdough bread at 2 a.m. And I remember that. This big elephant brain remembers that. So we're in the sister snacking episode. I first met you doing sourdough. And the first time we hung out, we did a grilled cheese making competition at 2 a.m. Oh, yeah. That was actually so much fun. And yours, I will actually say reflecting back, if I'm being honest, was better than mine,

which was a little bit of a hit to the ego. Wow. But it was made on your sourdough, which made

it extra sweet. Now, before we get into the episode really quick, I've been Jay's podcast,

co-host, recap man. First time you met me, first impression of of the curious Canadian hit hit the viewers with

it I adored you guys all of you I think that's actually what made me like him more I think it's

in a testament to who people are with who they surround themselves with so as much as I wish I could
