Welcome to Pick Me Up, I'm scared. The podcast.

I'm your host Madeline. And I'm your co-host, David.

All right. David, this week, we're on part two of our Ronald Reagan Deep Dive.

This is a real damn marathon. It really is. It's our first two-part episode.

Yeah, and we're doing it all at once.

We are doing it all at once. Because Maddie's going to be on tour. I will. I will be on the book tour. So by the time this airs, it will be Monday, January 22nd, and that means tonight, fake

tonight, because for me it is January 14th. But Monday, the 22nd, I will be here in

L.A. for book tour at Barnes & Noble at the Grove at 7 p.m. Oh, getting in a fight with your mom at

the Grove? Potentially getting to a fight with my mother at the Grove. Yes. That sounds like a very

classic Los Angeles evening for you. It really does, honestly. It sounds appropriate.

That will be for my book tour. Of course, by this point, my book will be out.

So you can get the audio book. You can get the hardcover book. The hardcover books are pretty nice, I will say. They're cute. I like it. They are cute. My friend Lizzie took the pictures.

And if you don't want my stupid face on your dust jacket,

is that what was called Dust Jacket? Yeah. Yeah, you can remove it and it just looks like a nice,

hardbound book. Um, so on Wednesday the 24th, I will be in Portland, Oregon at Powell's. And on

Thursday the 25th, I will be in Seattle at Elliott Bay Book Company. So, I think that's it for housekeeping, except to plug the Patreon,

which we must do because it is how we monetize our labor. Yes. So over on the Patreon,

if you have not subscribed yet, there is a bonus episode that goes along with our two-part deep dive

on Ronald Reagan, and it is all about Nancy Reagan, and she is a really interesting character. You

don't want to sleep on Nancy

Reagan. These girls, you might want to sleep with Nancy Reagan. That I think might be the

consensus over on Twitter. Yeah. Yeah. So Nancy Reagan, she's got everything. She's got gay besties.
