Welcome back happy hour listeners. Now I know I said this last week, but we're going to do it again. And we're going to be doing things a little bit differently because we're not having to guess today. Rachel and I just thought we're going to come up on here and give a good old fashioned recap for you all which.

I need to practice it with this. It feels very strange to be doing this and get caught up in the show when everything has gone down in the past week and a half within the franchise. But.

Rachel and it's a job we are professionals most of the time. So here we go. But I do have to say Rachel just showed me she's drinking some board down with some good old tin foil on the.

Becca do you call this tin foil tin foil? Oh, I just say foil. I've never heard so I mean it is tin foil. I've just never heard somebody use the full name.

You got to give the problem. Wait, do you say aluminum or aluminum aluminum?

Okay, the fact that you can't say it. It's aluminum.

Somebody the other day said aluminum and I thought they were talking about a rocket ship or something. I was like, what the hell are you talking about?

What were they from? Yeah.

But pro tip here for anyone who loves to drink some champagne, stock up on your board. Don't put the tin foil on the top. Just stick a spoon in it and it'll keep the bubbles.

Keeps it fresh. Rachel before we get into all that we say go down with hometowns, you know, we will get into. I don't even want to say the drama. There was really no drama during hometowns. But I just want to check in with you as a friend.

Overall, how are you doing? How's your head? How's your heart?

Um, you know, I was okay.

Initially, I'm not 100% okay now. Just more like just sad as humanity.

Just like that's really what it comes down to. It's just sad the way people think.

And I don't care what side you're on on this. It's just sad. We are so divided like to be a link to a story, to be part of a story and then to see how.

And I lived it. I was in it, you know, so like it doesn't get more truthful to me and the other person Chris that was involved in it.

And just to see how people are twisting things and like kind of like adding their own flare to the story and it's getting so far away from what originally happened. It's just disheartening the name, calling the accusations, the assumptions, the misconceptions, the stereotypes.

It's just, um, it's a lot. It's a lot, you know, but if you think it's going to make me stop doing the things that I'm doing.

You got me F up all it does is in bold and empower me as I know my brand. I know who I am. I know what I stand for and I'm never going to stop.

You know, standing for those things. Normal, I stopped doing my job, which at the end of the day, that's exactly what I was doing. My damn job.

Yeah, you know what I mean?

Well, and to your point through all of this, you have handled things with so much class, with so much grace. You, I think I said this on the top of the podcast last week, but you are a fighter and you are such a good friend.
