Do you want me to make the noise? No. Oh, I won't make the noise. I thought you were gonna trick me and make the noise.

No, I wasn't. How are you? I'm fine. My lips keep doing a snacking thing. I hear it in my mic.

That's there's noise. It is the second noise I told you. I knew it would happen. Sorry.

I'm back together. How is your milkshake? Good. Are we recording already? Yes. Oh my god. How do you not know that? I don't know. You saw me hit the button. Yeah, but that doesn't. I know that meant record. You would think after 27 episodes. I would know how and when we're recording. I mean, one might think, but I don't think so. Okay. Somebody else might think that. But I didn't know.

My milkshake today is a smore's cream frappuccino. However, it is also heavily melted because it took me a half an hour to get here. But this time they didn't put coffee in it back. No, they did it right. They did it right. Goodness. Because that was rough. It was a slow day at Starbucks. So I got to really lay down the lawn. What I wanted. Yeah, worked out. Speaking of laying down the law. Tell me everything. I want to know about this wine. Okay. So I met with a wonderful listener named Aaron and she's awesome. She's a shit. And she's a shit. And she's a shit. I'm not gonna say that. I'm not gonna say that. I'm gonna say that.

She brought, well, first of all, she brought a little bow tie, a blue bow tie. She said it's a something blue for the wedding. It's not cute. And then she brought a bottle of wine. And it's called the Sheriff of Buena Vista. And it's as big old. There's literally a sheriff badge, a badge, like a real badge. Like a star. Like it's 3D off of the bottle. I can click my ring against it. You can click your ring off a lot of things. We've learned that. I just use it as an example. Anyway, so thank you, Aaron, for that. I'm really happy about that. It was really kind of you. Why do you drink?

Oh, I drink because I'm suddenly my anxiety is rearing up again because I found out I was selected to be a semi-finalist for the Nickelodeon Riders program. Yeah!

Which, by the way, is my dream. I am so proud. No, Christine's not gonna give herself enough credit. She was got selected. She's one of the 13 selected out of like 2500 or something like that. Well, yeah. So anyway. They called me yesterday and I thought I made it. Like I woke up this morning and I just assumed I made it up.

In my head at night. It's real. I found out. And my next memories on Friday and then there's like speed rounds with Nickelodeon executives and things like that. So I'm like, so like you're, you're gonna make it maybe.

I'm like pumped, but they only pick four out of the 13. So now I'm like, anxious. Okay. So just under a third. Just under a third.

You just have to be better than two thirds of nine people. But the thing is to it is like really reaffirming that they picked my script because it was like a blind read.

So none of my information or buy or anything were attached to it. So it is really reaffirming that like at least I'm at least you're kind of funny. Good at what I do. Right. Yeah. So, you know, sure sitting on your couch cracking jokes.

Yes, it's all of you listening. You don't think I'm funny in your face. You know, it let's just hope that they don't find out about the podcast before they pick you. Well, that's the other thing because it definitely links to my Twitter or like they have my Twitter information. Oh, no.

So you guys, you kiss that goodbye. Yeah, what you should do is you should tweet. Wow. X team cheaper is the funniest person ever. She's such a great writer. And then I'll just keep resweating it.

Even if your team milkshake this week, everyone go.

Oh, or out Christine. And the sake of Nickelodeon. Here's such a good friend. I do it again. Anyway, so that's why I drink. I'm excited and nervous and terrified all at once. And this is like a dream come true.

So I'm not going to be hoping that it happens. Yeah. So why do you drink? I drink. Well, I drink for a really good reason because today.

It's raining. It's raining. And rain is my favorite weather and I haven't seen rain. And I don't know years at this point since we have a fucking LA.

But it's so nice. And I was sitting outside in my car. First of all, I walked around in the rain, which was way fun.

Because I hadn't been in rain in a long time. And then I got in my car. And then like this huge crack of lightning happened with like the thunder rolling in.

And the sky was all gray and horrible. I haven't seen thunder or lightning in a long time. It was so good. And then I saw the rain hitting the windshield on my car. And I hadn't seen rain hit anything.

Like I hadn't heard rain in so long. I felt like. Everyone who's way too grateful and appreciative of seeing rain. Everyone who's not who does not live in LA is like, fuck you guys.
