| 0:00.0 | What's going on, everyone, everyone, Emily Abadi here. You are listening to Five Minute Friday from Hurtle. |
| 0:24.2 | What a week. I went to Paris on Sunday. I hosted an event on behalf of Nike going siting with the Paralympics on Monday. I got to go up to the Stade de France, had myself a day on Tuesday. On Wednesday, I went to Rome and enjoyed |
| 0:41.6 | some time there. And now on Friday, I am on my way home as you listen to this, back to Brooklyn. |
| 0:49.8 | I was thinking about how I feel like my best self when I'm in Europe, I guess, this month |
| 0:56.1 | that's been between Paris and Italy, although the time in Italy was definitely too short. |
| 1:01.0 | But I feel like my best self. |
| 1:03.1 | And that's because I'm constantly answering the question, what's best for Emily? |

| 2:12.3 | as I was journaling while sipping a Hugo Spritz, which is my new thing. A little late, considering |
| 2:20.9 | summer is on its way out, but I can tell you that next summer, 25, is going to be the summer |
