Hey, H.B.S. You're listening to Heaving Bozoms, the podcast where usually, two best friends talk through the plot of romance

novels while making jokes and cackling. However, today is not that day. We couldn't do it, y'all. So instead, here's an explanation and

apology. We'll be back refreshed and renewed next week with part one of red, and royal blue by Casey McQuinton.

Read that book y'all do not delay any longer. Read it. Oh, and take care of yourselves. Here we go. Hi Aaron.

Hello melody melody.

How are you?

Oh God the world is on fire!

It is so horrible!

Everyone is wherecunce and it's a full moon.

Hey guys...

Hi, friends.

We're hoping that you'll understand this.

Melody and I just sat down to record red, white, and royal blue.

And we just decided.

We did it on a night where like a work night. We usually do it on the weekend, but I can't do it. I can't do it tomorrow because I've got tickets to the worst titled show in the world,

Cirque Dreams Holidays.

And tomorrow, and then the next day you have your birthday party for your child.

So we rushed home so we could do this on a night.
