The following podcast is a Dear Media production.

Welcome to the bad broadcast. I name is Maddie. I'm your host.

Thanks for being here on this fine December morning or afternoon or evening. I don't know.

You know what? I think about you guys a lot. Like, I spent a lot of time just imagining where

you guys are. I would assume most of you guys are in the car. I bet there's a handful of you guys at

the gym. I bet some of you are nursing in the middle of the night. And I don't know what else you guys. Maybe some of you are crafting. Maybe some of you guys are wrapping presents. I don't know. But I hope you're having a wonderful holiday season thus far. I recorded these a little out of order. So like today when I'm recording, today's the finale of Dancing with the Stars. I'm going to talk about Dancing with Stars, by the way. So if you, if you don't want spoilers, I don't know. I think we're probably a few weeks past it now, but just if you don't, somebody message me and they said, I watched Dancing with the Stars with my daughter, but she is a competitive dancer. And so we have to wait, and can you just do a little warning for when

you're going to talk about dancing with the stars? And I said, absolutely. That's what I'm going to talk about now. Anyway, the episode just came out about Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, where I say on there, like, I'm going to be so pissed if Whitney gets voted off because of this. As you guys know, she did. She did get voted off. She did not make it to the finale.

And, you know, I think it's going to be one of those things that actually benefits her in the long run.

As we all know, she's in New York doing some sort of audition, not sure what. People think it's Chicago,

some sort of Broadway play, which I can only hope that she's doing something

spectacular after this. I just think, okay, here's something. So there's this concept of

expanders, right? And Ash taught me about this. And it's somebody who like, you see their life.

And it's not, it's not a jealousy. It's like a motivation. Like you see them and you're like,

they expand kind of what I feel like I can be. And there, you look up to them, you want to emulate them.

I like have always resisted this feeling because I, I don't really feel jealous a lot. And I also

don't like feeling jealous. Like I feel like I spent a lot of

years building up a tolerance against jealousy because I just think it's a gross feeling to feel

and I don't like feeling jealous of people. And so I did a lot of work to just not feel that way. And

it worked. Like I very, very rarely, if ever, feel jealous of people. And that has stopped me from,

sorry, this is such a random tangent, but I just want to gush about Whitney for a minute. So I've

resisted this idea of expanders. Then Whitney came onto the scene. And I saw this girl who's like

us, like who has kids and is from Utah. And, you know, you just kind of, when you grow up here, I think you just kind of, I don't know if it's accept or embrace or realize, I don't know, but you don't live in a place that has all of the opportunities like living in L.A. or New York or even, you know, East Coast, West
