Hey y'all. So ahead of this extremely exciting episode, I just wanted to give you the heads up that

because of several audio snafus that we will not go into right now, you'll hear that we are switching

between our normal audio, so like my mic and Lauren's mic and the Zoom audio. It is not so back and forth to be jarring, but if you did not

know, you might wonder what the heck was happening in certain sections. So that's what the

heck is happening. There you go. As the editor of the podcast, I always feel like I need to give you

these heads up. Otherwise, enjoy hearing me lose my crap.

Because it's Ricky.

What?

Hey y'all.

Hi.

Welcome to coming out with Lauren and Nicole. We are a weekly podcast where we

have queer folks on from all walks of life. They tell us the tales of how they came out to friends,

family, and the world at large. Because who doesn't love a coming out story? Okay, today,

Lauren, I didn't even let you finish that bit before I was like, okay.

Let's just get to it.

So today, I'm dying.

I'm freaking out.

Today we have, we have Ricky, as in the Ricky, as in hashtag find Ricky.

We found Ricky.

Well, more particularly, Megan.

Megan found Ricky. Megan, you got us.

You goddess. She found Ricky. Ricky's full name is Ricky Hebert now, which would have been much easier if we'd known that before in trying to find her.
