Welcome to Jam Session. I'm Juliet Littman. I'm Amanda Dombins and it's Juliet's birthday!

0:23.8

Thank you so much, Amanda, for these balloons.

0:27.3

I walked into the studio and was like, oh my God.

0:31.2

This is honestly so sweet and you're such a great friend and co-host.

0:36.3

I'm really grateful.

0:38.2

And obviously, we have to talk about your balloon journey, part two here.

0:42.7

So, first of all, I'm really enjoying there's one orange balloon that just like keeps popping in front of you through the, which is the point.

0:51.3

The vision for this was to fill the studio in a way that would embarrass you, but also celebrate your birthday. So Juliet has a milestone birthday this week. It's my 40th on February 18th. February 18th. And this is also technically 10 years of jam session this month. This month, yeah. So they are jam session logo colored balloons.

1:14.9

I went with the Juliet letters instead of 40, primarily because Juliet is more, like, again, we were going for volume of balloons.

1:29.6

But so here is the main, here is the main difference between a four-year-old's birthday party

and jam session and how I was able to order balloons for one and not the other.

1:39.4

And that's called an on-site producer.

1:42.1

So shout out Bell Roman, who received the delivery in New York.

1:47.2

Also, let me just say, so this is from Balloon Saloon, the famous balloon place right next to the Odeon.

1:54.0

Sure.

1:54.7

They were wonderful, called me immediately. We're very helpful.

1:57.7

Oh, my God. That's great to know.

1:59.1

You know, coordinated delivery. So that is, that made the difference. Balloon Saloon is probably dealing with a lot of Tribeca moms, of whom I'm very intimidated. And so they probably are like, okay, we hear the assignment. We're on it. And I mean, they also, they recognized my address as Los Angeles. And they were like, okay, so you won't be on site. Who's going to be on site? Can we have a backup? That's where a bell comes in. A real balloon producer. This is great. Listen, and then there was a lot of, you know, there was some art direction. We needed to make sure the balloons got in the shot. So I want to say thank you to everyone in New York. It looks great.
