Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, welcome to the naughty but nice.

Welcome to the naughty but nice show. I'm your house, Rob Shooter, and it's Wednesday, which which means a dear friend Donnie Meacham joins us. Hey, Donnie, are you there?

Hello, love, love, hello, hello. Oh, before Rob calls me out. You know what? Sloppy, sloppy,

sloppy, I will admit it today. 2026, first time sloppy sloppy

it was touch and go

whether or not this podcast was going to happen today

I don't know if I was going to call you out

there donnie I thought that there's so much gossip to get to

I thought I was just going to bow to the show

but now that you've brought up the subject my friend

now that you've brought it up I was waiting for you waiting We had our time set. We had our script set. We had our energy levels up. I'd just let some mango sauce full of sugar. And what happened?

put down the baggage. I don't have to carry it around and life is better without it. I really believed Kathy was there. And so then Kathy did do a little interview where she slammed them both again.
