Hey, everybody. It's Monday, March 30th, 2026. I'm Alison Gill. And I'm Dana Goldberg, and this is Beans Talk.

Okay, so as we talked about a little bit on the Daily Bean's Audio podcast, both of our voices are

kind of thrash this morning. I mean, or very

sexy, whatever you'd like to think of it. Just an octave lower than normal. This is my podcast voice.

Kathleen Turner. Yes, indeed. Kathleen Turner Overdrive. It's my new band. But you also, aside from

No Kings, which we're going to talk about in a second, you had an

amazing human rights campaign gala this weekend. I did. I, you know, it was one of those nights

that I'm just damn good at my job, everybody. We were honoring Michael Patrick King. And if you don't

know that name, Michael Patrick King was behind Will and Grace, Sex in the City, the new show, The

Comeback with Lisa Kudrow and Rupal, just an extraordinary man who has just given us some of

our favorite television shows over the years, and he's gay and lovely, and they were honoring

him, and I got to meet Rupal and Lisa Kudrow. I also raised a quarter of a million dollars

for HRC last night through the live

auction and the money raise. And it was just an exciting night. But when I'm on Steve doing that,

putting out all that energy, I mean, it's a lot for our voices. The other thing that was awesome is

I got to sit next to and befriend Brittany Bo, the Olympic speed skater.

And Brittany is one of the nicest down-to-earth powerhouses.

You would never know, just so unassuming and absolutely wonderful.

So I got to spend some time with her.

It was just one of those nights at work that was just really enjoyable for me as much as it was productive, if that makes sense.

So it was, but that's why I do sound like a little bit like my Uncle Marie today on the,

hello everybody, on the podcast.
