Well, all right.

So what we've discovered this morning, thanks to the Joy Boys, thanks to the Bride Guys.

0:49.6

We are officially a People's Voice winner at the 2026 Webbies. We won in the News and Politics individual episode category for an episode featuring you from last summer.

0:55.6

And I just want to give a huge thank you to all of our fans because this literally was voted on by our fans, our people, who came out there and me several hundred times.

1:05.0

But you can vote more than once.

1:06.5

If you have other email accounts, you can do it.

1:08.3

But who did we beat?

1:10.1

We beat several people, all very talented. So every category has two winners. They have the People's Voice winner, which is voted on by the people. And then there's a judge's panel that votes on the quality of the podcast. We did not win that one. That went to a podcast called... I don't care about that anyway. No, you want to win those people.

1:28.1

But it did go to a very wonderful podcast called Question Everything. It's an NPR thing. You'd like it. And then ABC News was up for something in our category, too. So I'm very proud. We beat Distinguished Competition. Very good. So that's great. And now, as you said today, you are now an egret.

1:47.2

I'm an Emmy. Mm-hmm. I'm a Webby. A webby. I'm an image. Mm-hmm. And I'm a... Glad. Glad. So it's a E-wig. You're an E-wig. I'm an E-wig. Wow. So all this time, you know, Whoopi's been an e-god and getting all that impressed, but is she an e-wig? I don't think she has a webby. I always say, though, the only, are the only awards that I appreciate very much are the ones like this. Number one, because that people gave us the award. Yes. It means that we're appealing to the peeps, which I appreciate.

2:20.3

And the other thing is the NAACP Image Award and the Glad Award.

2:24.7

Those are the awards that I treasure because it means you've done something,

2:29.0

you've said something over the years that helped a group of people in some way. And I like that. Well, I treasure,

2:35.9

I'm going to treasure this. And as we've talked about endlessly on this podcast, it's very important

2:40.6

for me to win this award. I mean, I said he is going to, if I put you a gun to your head and I said,

2:46.7

going to your daughter's recital to see them dance or go to the Webby. You wouldn't need the gun. You wouldn't need the gun. Go to the Webby's. Right. We were discussing this at lunch. Yes. I'm very excited about it. You know, my daughter's Broadway debut are the Webbyes, maybe. We'd have the harder conversation. But I'm very excited because, you know, I have an Emmy Award, and it means the world to me. I've also won several fantasy football leagues that are very important to me, and I have giant trophies. All right, this is boring now. Because it's about me. You used to have, you have your Emmys. You've won two Emmys. No, I only won one. Didn't you win two? You won one for show?
