This is an I-Heart podcast.

Okay, so this is exciting for today's Q&A. I have Ashley Lemieux. Hey, guys. Here with us. And I love your last name. It's so fancy because it's L-E-C-L-E-C-U-X. You want to know why? Why? Because it means the best in French. Does it really? Yes, ma'am. Oh, do you speak French? No.

Oh, okay.

No. You want to know why? Why? Because it means the best in French. Does it really?
