Now for our personal moment. What an amazing weekend we had, watching Goldie and Camp Rock.

I was really worried because I'd never heard of that. It's a Disney Channel musical.

It's the perfect musical for middle school. It's just a bunch of peppy songs barely strung together with a plot.

That's all you need anyway. Just a bunch of peppy songs and having kids dancing. It was great.

The Instant Pot is back. I don't want you to worry. We are back in the good graces of everybody.

Not that we were like disgraced or anything like that, but orange chicken. I just googled what is the very, very best instant pot recipe.

And orange chicken was a definite hit. So don't worry. I know you've been losing sleep over this.

I have, but it's okay. We're okay now. Don't you worry about that. We're all good.

So that's our personal moment. Thank you for listening.

And now, Salkin the Painter by J. Sheridan LaFanau.

For he is not a man as I am, but we should come together.

Neither is there any that might lay his hand upon us both. Let him therefore take his rod away from me, and let not his fear terrify me.

There exists at this moment in good preservation a remarkable work of Salkins.
