Hi, everyone, and welcome to episode 161 of the Holding Court podcast.

Today, we're recapping our recent travels, talking all things Super Bowl, and we'll discuss some friendly competition and what that means.

All coming up right now on Holding Court.

Boom, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum.

Balala, la la la la, pa pa-la. Bum-pum-pom-pom-pom-pom. I'm actually really excited and pretty proud of myself because I completed the first month of my

court's page turners book club. And is it weird to be sitting next to me

this is weird pretend it's a split screen but i know it's weird to be on the same side but we are

traveling so it just makes it easier and we have to take the show on the road so uh that's why. But I hosted my first book club meeting.

The book was The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and pretty good turnout. I loved our group.

I think a lot of people didn't know what to expect. I didn't know what to expect, but it went really well. I was more

worried about technology, Wi-Fi logistics than the actual content of the book club is I think

there's always going to be, when you have a group setting like that, there's always going to be

people that are more likely to talk. There's going to be people that want to just give responses

in the chat. And I was trying to do my best to read the chat responses to keep people in.

But a lot of good thoughts, opinions on the book. And we already have our book picked for

next month. So we're ready to go. I wish I remembered

the name of it. What's the name of the book? For next month. Yeah, I already forgot it.

I'm not in the book club, but I might as well be because after you did your Zoom for the book club,

we went on a walk with the dogs. My husband's wife.

My husband's wife. That's the next book. Not my wife. This is the next book. But I basically

got a full download on the entire book that you just read. So maybe I should just read this book

because I'm going to I'm going to hear the ins and outs of it anyway after your meeting next
