This is exactly right. When I invited you here, I thought I made myself perfectly clear. When you're a guest in my home.

You gotta come to me empty and it.

I said no gifts your presence is presence enough and I already had too much stuff so how

do you dare to survey me? Welcome to I said no gifts. I'm Bridget Weiner. The year is coming to a close. We're in the backyard.

The year is coming to a close, we're in the backyard.

2023 goodbye, another perfect year on earth,

flawless.

I'm one episode behind on Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.

I can feel my life just spinning further and further out of control.

Oh, let's get into the podcast. I'm just thrilled to talk to today's guest because, well, we'll get into it. It's Emily Altman.

Hi.

Emily, welcome to I said no gifts.

Oh, thank you. I'm so excited to be here and to talk to you.

People have been telling me no exaggeration for seven years

that I need to meet you or saying oh you haven't met her or you would love her so there's a lot of pressure.

It's the same on my side and also that like oh you you guys would love each other so

there's there's some pressure. I we're going to find out what other

people assume about us right yeah whatever they think is going to connect us I feel like one of the

early things was cats oh like the musical or the animal?

I wish it was the musical.

See, okay, so that we're already in it, because I've seen the musical and I'm fine with it,

but I am into the animal.
