This is Sirens, a new series brought to you by the Ladies of Bombshell, where we dissect

the institutions of American power. Join us as we sound the alarm on technology, governance,

and national security issues, but also maybe Laura Sommend to their deaths. I'm Lauren

DeYoung Shulman. I'm Erin Simpson. And I'm Roda Aangarplum. And we are back. We could dedicate the entire episode to the new Department of War, but we will not because we love you, our listeners. And that would probably actually just like put us all at the bottom of the, the bottom of the deep dark hole that we find ourselves in. So instead, we will cover lots of fun topics today, starting off with something that's not around the Department of War, or nor do it are deep and dark.

I saw this actually on our separate podcast online recently, and had a fabulous question that I loved of what was a favorite clothing item that you had as a child

that maybe you wore maybe a little too much. And I will start with me because I had a hot pink

and white tie-dye t-shirt that had a palm tree at the front that I think I wore, if not every day, then like multiple days of

third grade. I vividly remember getting it from Target, which Target at the time was like a new

hotness in our town. It was so exciting to have a Target. It had clothing section. We definitely did

not have a target when I was in third grade. Yeah. Like in my head, like Target is actually this like

probably 17 times the size that it actually was and sold more things that it had actually

sold because it was so glorious to have this store in our town.

Mine, mine is like more embarrassing than that, I have to say, which is that at some point my mom brought back from a work trip, a Harvard Law T-shirt. And I was probably like sixth grade, seventh grade. I knew, like, what Harvard was in the same way that you know what, like, the Queen of England is, right? Oh, my God, Aaron, you were like, oh oh gosh, what's her name from Gilmore Girls?

Rory.

Take that back.

Not Rory.

Not Rory.

The blonde girl.

Paris.

Take that back, too.

No, Paris is fabulous.

So anyway, but like it was like an adult-sized shirt, And even now, I'm not exactly adult-sized.
