This is an I-Heart podcast.

Coming up at the top of the hour, right about four minutes after, it's my strawberry letter for today.

The subject, he picked the wrong sister.

Wait till you hear that.

We'll get into it in just a bit.

But right now, the nephew is here with today's prank phone call.

What you got for us, Neff? Y'all hold tight. Here you come. Hello. Hello, I'm trying to reach Cassandra. This is she. Hey, how you doing? I'm fine. Who's this? This is Brian. This is Brian. I work with your sister, Kiva. Okay. We've met a couple times uh you you've you've come out

to happy hour with us a couple times but that's been a way you you just had a baby right oh yeah

so that must have been a long time ago i i sure did just have a baby okay you said this is brian

yeah brian congratulations how many months is it now It's been three months since I've had them.

Okay. All right. Well, congratulations to you. Listen, we're putting together a potluck

Christmas party, and we wanted to invite you out. Oh, okay. Is this some kind of surprise or something?

Seems like Kiva would be called up. Well, I, you know, my job is to call around since it's a potluck and make sure we get everybody to bring something. What I wanted to do is, uh, I told her she should invite her sister. I'm sure your sister, I was just saying you probably hadn't been able to get out since the baby. And maybe you would want to get out a little bit. Yeah, you said that. I've been trapped in this house with this baby. Oh, and he's, oh, he's such a greedy baby.

But. and maybe you would want to get out a little bit. Yeah, you said that. I've been trapped in this house with this baby.

Oh, and he's such a greedy baby. But, yeah, I'm here a lot. This is like my second child, and I'm telling you, he was nothing like the first one. But I haven't been out. When is the party? It's going to be next week. next Friday we're going to throw it and we're not not trying to do anything too late, probably around 6 o'clock. Everybody's going to leave work a little early, but we're going to all bring a little something to contribute to the party, you know, whatever type of food or drinks or whatever. So we just wanted to reach out and give you an invitation. I just need to see if I can get a babysitter. I haven't had to use a babysitter yet, but I try.

I'll do my best for me.

It's my sister and her friend, so I'd be glad to come.

So you said it's potluck.

What are y'all bringing?

Well, some people are bringing finger foods.

Some people are bringing desserts, nachos, and things like that. So I guess a little bit of everything and everybody's just in the Christmas spirit. We just got to have a good time. Well, do I need to cook it myself or can't I just order something and have it delivered or something like that? You know, I'm fooling with this baby. I can't get too much done while I'm here. But I'll be glad to contribute. Well, actually, we're interested in getting some egg knob. Yeah, I can probably, I could send my husband out to get some because, you know, there's this, food, this specialty shop. They make some good homemade eggnog. I can do eggnog. Well, hang on. We didn't want anything from a specialty shop.

We're real particular about having good eggnog.
