I'm Molly Lambert, and with me in Los Angeles is...

Tess Lynch, and over in New York, we have.

Emily Yoshida. And Tess Lynch just over in New York we have. Emily Yoshida. And Test Lynch just came from New York. Just yesterday, Tess Lynch was in New York. What were you up to? It's true.

My issue with flying beyond having children is that the physical changes that happen when you're in an

airplane like I'm very sensitive in general I guess uh to sort of like the element well yeah but also like
