Megan McCain has entered the chat.

Megan McCain has my co-host Miranda

Wilkins.

My voice sounds like this. I'm like

Ben getting over like a cold and I have like, it's like very cold here in D.C. And I went out to eat at

dinner last weekend and we sat outside, which was a total mistake. I was pretending it was spring and warm,

but it's not Miranda. You sound terrible. I know.

I'm sorry for how my voice sounds.

Two quick things, number one.

I just want to give a shout out to Cindy, who works at Vorthiest eyewear here in Virginia.

I went in to get a new pair of glasses to get a prescription filled because you can't see anything.

And she said, I love your podcast so much so much i listen to it all the time and i said oh my gosh thank you so much she was so lovely so just give

her a shout out and so nice and isn't that so nice that's so sweet i was like sometimes i don't think

anyone listens to my podcast except people i'm related to um like people you're related to

right on the show related to um so that's really nice and number two um we have a big

milestone we had a million downloads on this podcast after a year and and four months um which i don't

know if that's good or bad like i don't know if we even count the four months because we were on a break

so okay a year in three months yearish four months? Because we were on a break.

Yeah, okay. A year in three months. A year-ish. Yeah, year-ish. So we just want to thank everybody again who's listening and the potential, the future of this podcast is still quite up in the air.

We're going to trudge along as long as we can and keep on, keep it on. Do you have anything you want to say, Miranda, before we get to all the topics? There's a lot of insanity going on in the world as usual. Yeah, it's crazy. Yeah, we were

considering not doing an episode today just because of how your voice sounds, but I think we were

just like, we have to because of how insane everything is this week. So, we're going to soldier
