Hello and welcome to this week's edition of Esther Club, a podcast that you should probably just turn off right now because I'm just don't do that.

It's actually very important to our producers that you don't turn it off and that you play it and then replay it afterwards.

All right.

Well, this week's episode.

Can we actually get that again with less energy?

What?

Sorry, I'm just clowning.

This week's episode is exciting because it's kind of our first real guest, Caroline.

Hey?

First guest, best guest.

First is the best.

They told me they wanted me to come test the mics.

I'm really more here for audio reasons.

So Caroline is my co-host on the show Glowing Up.

So it seemed only natural that she come here on Esther Club,

which I have to ask you, being here, you know, in a post, post glowing up, now you're here, you're on Esther Club.

Does it feel a little bit like you're visiting your old friend in like a mental hospital and like, you know, adjusting to the new circumstances?

Yeah, the whole time we were doing glowing up, I thought all of Esther's quirks and obsessions were, you know, again, quirky and

fun, but I now realize it, realized that they're slowly precipitating a mental breakdown.

Like, this is the postscript of glowing up. It's you in this literally padded room with your

little friend, Carlos. They say the cameras are on, but I don't know that they are.

I don't see any lights on them, yeah.
