Hello listener, this is Heaving Busams, the podcast who are two long-distance best friends, recap romance novels to stay connected,

remain immersed in the wonder of the genre, and then go on giggly tangents and make dick jokes.

We have a very special shout out this week.

Carrie B.

Leo, Aaron, and I want to wish you the happiest, most fruitful birthday.

We're in awe of your courage to quit a job you weren't passionate about and pursue your green thumb professionally.

I, for one, hope a job comes along where you can actually just sniff dirt for a living.

Unless you finally get your own farm, because that's where you're meant to be.

Until then, keep sewing, making your own tea blends, reading romance with strong women,

and letting all of the pedestrians on your commute hear us

cackling maniacally. You're a woman after my own heart because I also look at my

partner and say you chose this when I get up to Hyjinx. Kindred spirits, I'd say.

So, happy birthday to the most beautiful pumpkin in the pumpkin patch. And now we've got holiday by candlelight by

Laurel Greer. Here we go. Oh, hey Aaron. Oh, hi, fancy seeing you here. Oh, hi. Fancy seeing you here. Oh, hello. Hello? That's how that sounded.

Um, guess what came yesterday in my mail? What came? Yeah, guess what I I received yesterday in the mail? Oh, I understand now.

I'm sorry, what did you... I was talking? now.

I'm sorry, what did you... You think I was talking about an orgasm, you weirdo?

Well, he says, guess what came?

I don't know.

Come on, man. Are you saying that we would never have a conversation where you say

guess what came and I say what melody and you say me? Are you saying that that is an impossible situation? How dare you? Of course

it's not. I'm sorry, what did you receive non-sexually? Well, I got a little ringlight in the mail, ringlight in the mail!
