| 0:05.6 | On this week's episode, we have our weekly check-ins. |
| 0:08.1 | We have part two of our throwback special segment where I tell my story from the mid-90s, |
| 0:15.6 | and we wrap it up with our weekly BFPs and BFNs. |
| 0:19.0 | Let's get started. |
| 0:25.7 | Hi, welcome to episode 124. Laura, hello, hello. |
| 0:34.3 | Hi, Shauna. Hi, how are you doing all the way over there in Pasadena? All the way over in Pasadena. |
| 0:43.2 | I'm good. We're good. So I am currently 23 weeks pregnant. And holy shit, |
| 0:50.7 | the nesting urge is like ramping up. Oh, wow. No one's business this week.

| 1:49.2 | I'm going to turn on some mindless Netflix and fold laundry, right? |
| 1:54.0 | And I turn on the home edit. |
| 1:55.6 | And they were organizing Reese Witherspoons closet. |
| 1:59.7 | Oh, that's big time. |
| 2:01.7 | Okay. |
| 2:02.2 | Yeah, they do like one famous person and one non-famous person every episode. |
| 2:07.1 | So one famous, one nobody. |

| 2:09.4 | Exactly. |
