Welcome to The Nest. The Nest is our little mini-cast for Best to the Nest, where we talk about the things we're bringing into the nest that bring us joy.

Good morning, Elizabeth. Hey, good morning, Marjorie. This is really fun to be with you because I've been in polar vortex land. I need to bring more joy into the nest because I can't physically get out of the nest.

It's so cold outside. You're not even allowed to leave.

So when you're in the middle of the polar vortex, do you think maybe it's time to leave

Minnesota?

Oh, yes, I always think that.

I always think why do I live here?

I think it doesn't have to be this hard.

I think that every single winter.

And I'm born and raised here. I was telling some friends here, so I'm in Arizona,

that as I'm watching all of my friends in Minnesota, the cool thing about the polar vortex

is I can see everybody bonding. Yeah. And I oddly feel left out. Is that weird? It's such a weird

reaction. Like I saw some coffee shop in Minnesota was giving away free pastry with coffee or something.

I'm like, oh, they're probably having so much fun.

And then I remember, like, in a great blizzard, you know, I remember going to a place called the Nook in one of the blizzards.

I love the Nook.

And it was such a party.

Yeah.

I was having the best time. So in the midst of the polar vortex for the rest of the world, know that

Minnesotans and Chicagoans know how to have fun when it's cold.

Yes, we are a hearty people.

But even, I mean, we're getting to the broken point.
