Hey Theresa, I just wanted to say I think you're an amazing wife and mother and

person and podcaster and just all around I think you're great. I know it.

Oh, okay. It's Schmanners! Hello internet. I'm your husband host, Travis McElroy.

And I'm your wife host Teresa McElroy.

And you're listening to Schmanners.

It's extraordinary etiquette.

For ordinary occasions. I forgot I did the second half.

Whoops!

Whoops!

You know what, we'll fix it in post.

My Duff, how are you?

I'm doing well.

How are you?

Well, I'm sitting here wondering as to people at home can hear the nice quiet white noise going out in the background.

Here, folks, when you've got a new baby, you do what you can't.

Your life stops being your own, and the choices you must make in your life are about the next generation now.

Like the octopus who sacrifices herself to protect her eggs, we must play white noise during our show to keep our baby happy.

So if you can hear any white noise in the background, so be it.

That's, it's the nice thing to do.

Welcome to the show.

This is the show. We're doing it.

Now, we're in it.
