| 0:00.0 | Hi, friends. It's me, your girl Melissa Reich and Amy Phillips, your other girl. |
| 0:07.7 | And we're here for our darling bish. Darling Bish hour. We're really bad at the same. |
| 0:14.2 | We got it. You know, we're never going to get it right. And that's okay because it's the end of the year. We don't need to get it right. We're done almost. That's right. We're almost done. She's done. We're, we're wrapping it up. We're putting it in the can because this year is almost over. And can I say praise B? Because I don't know about you, Amy, but this year for me has been a real shit show. Oh, gosh. |
| 0:41.1 | I said with a joyous laugh, you know, that's what we have to do. |
| 0:46.6 | And we're going to bring that joyous laughter into 2026, and it's going to be fantastic. |
| 0:47.9 | It is. So for everyone listening, Amy and I are so happy to have you here for our last darling Bish Hour of the year of 2025. |
| 0:58.4 | Oh, the darlings love you so much, I have to say, and I know your bishes. Is that what do you call |
| 1:06.2 | them? Well, I don't really call them anything, but I think they call themselves bishes. |
| 1:10.6 | I think they do, yeah. Right. Okay. Yeah. You're not like, hey, bishes. Well, I'll just say, hey, bishes. And hey, darlings. What an amazing group you guys are. And thanks for always supporting us. And we love it, which is why I want to reiterate that we are going to be doing a new collab. This is the second iteration of our |
| 1:29.0 | official collab that will happen every month now. So we're very excited about that going into |

| 1:51.9 | started doing the collab, I got a lot of feedback, a lot of great comments. So people are here for it, |

| 2:09.2 | The reason I'm here is because of you, Amy, and because of all the listeners. Because for those |
| 2:14.7 | who maybe don't know or don't remember, I was not even doing this. And then I called |
| 2:20.3 | into Amy's radio show when you were on Sirius XM and we connected and from there your Bish therapist |
