How are we podcasting? Are we recording, Jen? Are we here? I think we are. Let's podcast this day.

I've got this nifty screen on so I don't pop all my explosive consonants like. Yeah, there's a lot to contend to.

That's the only part of my voice I can fix. The like shrill coming from the lungs of an eight year old is the.

It's your step with that part you're going to have to deal with. This is not your podcast if you have a problem.

I've really grown into my voice. I feel like I have this voice. No, I had this voice when I was 14 and people are like, you're smoking.

Yeah. And I'd get so upset. I'd be like, what are you talking about? I am representative on the student council.

I'm not making those choices. Yeah, I did still did still didn't do anything, but you know, just force it up.

My nose more. I don't know if that. So this what you're getting. Welcome to the I'm on Instagram and Facebook and wherever podcasts are listened to.

I want to be on TikTok. I watch a lot of it, but we're not on there yet. You know what?

Kristen is actually on TikTok a lot watching it, but not we're not. Yeah, no, I don't have any content yet. I'm a voyeur.

Yeah. And that's a nice presentation. Um, big news on our front.

Uh, Jen's kids started school last week. Yeah. And my kids started school today.

And I she's not told me about it quite yet. And so I'm very curious to hear how it's going.

You know, it's day one. Uh, I was surprised at how emotional I was. I really did think like based on what we do and based on what, you know, what we talk about.

I thought that I would go and like dance in the streets. I had this idea that I was going to take a portable speaker and play some version of like the Beastie boys or something like, you know, rock outside of it and be funny. Yeah.

As we were walking up and I saw all the parents and I saw her crossing guard, which you guys, you spent at the school for eight years.

Yeah. I literally was so happy to be there. And I felt so good. I felt vulnerable and emotional and shaken.

And the kids were like, oh, here she goes again. I was balling all night last night. I balled today.

But was a different balling last night because you're like, you've got to get the F to bed. Yes. Or you're going to be nightmare people.

Yes. But they were excited. They were excited. But they were also, um, like chill and cool about it. And I was like, I was all over the place.

I was trying to get an emotional reaction from them. Nothing. They were steady. Anybody want to talk about their feelings?

Yeah, and feelings about tomorrow. There's a lot to be concerned about. You're trying so cool. Yeah.
