This is the run through. I'm Cho Minardi.

And I'm Chloe Mal.

We're so happy to have our dear colleague, Maya Singer, this week, who has written an incredible

story. She's a contributing writer. It has been for, she written several cover stories.

But this week, she had a very special assignment. And I want you, Maya, to tell us more about it.

Well, I got a last-minute call on Thursday night asking me if, in the next 24 hours, I could fly down to Florida and interview Stormy Daniels.

Last Thursday.

Yes.

And that was an unusual assignment for me because I'm not normally the person who's kind of getting dispatched to do big kind of political profiles, celebrity profiles. But obviously I jumped at the chance. It's sort of a one in a lifetime opportunity, she's an icon. And do you think that more now that you've actually met her?

I mean, now that I've met her, it's like I feel like I've encountered the woman, you know,

but it's always, it's always interesting. It felt like I was doing in real time this like process

that we have like as a culture have been doing retrospectively about people like Monica Lewinsky and Pamela Anderson where we're sort of thinking about the actual person who was like behind the kind of scandal that like became this like iconic figure in society but also disparaged and whatever.

And, you know, and then just actually, like, sitting in her house, meeting her husband.

Like, you know, you realize, like, that this is just, like, a living, breathing person.

So you fly, we're not going to say a specific location because she's receiving a lot of death threats.

She's awful.

But it's somewhere in central Florida.

Tell me about what her house looks like.

What did she serve you?

What was she wearing?

What does Stormy at home look like?

So, I mean, it's funny because I grew up in central Florida.
