Y-O-O-Oah!

Yoo! Yeah, oh, welcome in to the House of L Podcast, I'm Lauren Toms. Thank you so much for hanging out.

It is much appreciated. We have got a lot of stuff to do and I appreciate

everyone who listens via Apple or if you're listening via Spotify.

Thank you very much for your continued patronage of this podcast.

And thanks everyone on YouTube.

We've done very well on the YouTube page and your support has

meant the world to me. I had a meeting with Remy Martin, our sponsor and I got a gift bag of stuff and so to folks who are subscribers to the

YouTube page I will let you know how you get in a bottle. Not everybody, but a couple of people

are getting a bottle. Maybe some other treats, but I got like a jacket and a hoodie plus all sorts of incredible stuff from Remy Martin.

So our relationship with them continues to grow and we are thankful and the reason that they still want to be an advertiser is because you continue to show up on this podcast no matter what the content is and we

appreciate that. I am just now getting back from Soldier Field.

One of my favorite things when I was a Beat reporter

is I felt like everyone had,

everyone got me during the week because they all lived close to Hallis Hall.

You're friends in Evanston, J.D. I think lived in Buffalo Grove. So when it was going to Hallis Hall every day I was doing a

50-mile commute basically from Hyde Park to Lake Forest. But on game day, that's when I would get my revenge. Because I could be home,

especially after doing all of the media stuff. I could be home in seven minutes and that was always great.

Today though I had quite an experience and the I'll go into more detail on this on the morning buzz

but I this was in they didn't dawn on me

until I was walking into the gates this This was the first time that I've ever been to

soldier field as a fan and I'm using air quotes for those of you you can't see me on the YouTube channel. It never happened.
