Hey, everybody. Emily and body coming to you with five minute Friday. A segment that is

apparently beloved by many of you. So now that I know this, not that I didn't know it before,

but you get what I'm saying. I put a call out last week asking you how you felt about five

minute Friday. And I was met with a lot of praise for this installment of the show. So with that

five minute Friday, just stay hit me with them. It's so important to me that I'm answering your

questions, especially when you may be asking me things that come in through emails or DMs and

record me a voice memo on your phone and then send it over email. The email to direct those two

promotional SMS. So I'm on many of those lists and I'm finally understanding that if I just respond

stop, they'll stop texting me. But because I have like at any given moment 10 unread messages

in my phone, those unread messages are typically from brands. But one of the unread messages was

from a friend of mine. And I missed it. I want to say it was like on Tuesday or Wednesday. And

today she messaged me and asked me if I didn't actually want to spend time with her this weekend

in so many words. And I had I was just wrapped up in my own stuff. And so I told her, oh my god,

yes, I want to see you this weekend. Let's get together, et cetera, et cetera. But before that,
