What is up, you guys? Welcome back to the pod. Happy Friday. Happy Coachella weekend to all who

celebrate. I am recording this on Thursday right before we drive down. I'm a little nervous because

Ashley said the traffic is absolutely crazy, so I'm quite scared, but that'll be okay.

Hopefully. I, what are my hopes and dreams for this Coachella?

I want to have a good time. It's funny. I always get kind of nervous before I go to events that I love,

because even if you try to temper your expectations, obviously you have expectations and you want

certain things to happen and you want to have fun and you want it to be as good as the last couple years. So I'm trying to temper my expectations, but I'm really, really excited. It's been such a lovely week in LA. It's been really busy. I don't know if you guys know this, but like all my teams sit here, my managers, my agents, my publicists. So when I ever come to LA, I'm just running around like crazy.

And I'm not going to lie, I got like 50 spa appointments because I love all my treatments. I went to Sula. I got, you know, I, you know me. I sneak it in. I sneak it in. I was like calling my mom yesterday. I was saying, oh my God, I'm so stressed. I'm so busy talking to her about all these things that are going on my life and then I was like okay I have to go she's like

what's wrong you sound really sad I was like no I'm what I'm so stressed. I'm so busy talking to her about all these things that are going on my life. And then I was like, okay, I have to go. She's like, what's wrong? You sound really sad.

I was like, no, I'm about to get a massage. My masseuse just walked in. She's like, that is so you.

anyway, so don't feel too bad for me.

Today, I'm going to review an article.

Now, I know you guys have been missing the articles, and I have two.

I'm sorry that I've fallen off a little bit.

I... I'm going to review an article. Now, I know you guys have been missing the articles, and I have two. I'm sorry that I've fallen off a little bit. I, well, a couple things. I don't want to, I take full responsibility. I haven't been sharing as many or discussing as many with you on the pod. One thing that did annoy me a lot last year is I feel like I would share them or I would do this like in-depth analysis and then people would just respond based on like the headline which is the opposite of hashtag we need to be more interesting so if you are going to give your hot take

please read the article not to sound like the biggest goody two shoes or like an annoying teacher

at all just imagine you're me imagine you like find an article that's like

really interesting. You read it. You try to pull out the important points and then people will be like,

well, I haven't read it, but this is what I think. And I'm like, okay, cool, interesting. Anyway,

on to more positive things. Let's discuss this article in the cut.

It's by the writer's name is E.J. Dixon.

And I first noticed this article on Instagram.
