This is a very exciting time in my life because it is the beginning of summer,

which means the beginning for me, the beginning of gardening season. I look forward to it every year and

the other day I went to this great garden place called Taft Farms, shout out to Taft Farms and Great Barrington.

Master's It's and got some plants and put them right in.

And I know we've been talking about the woodchuck. I went to Eric Andre. He suggested that I had to get rid of it.

I thought that was callous and inhumane.

And I just found out this morning I got a call from my neighbor, Mick.

And he said it's just decimated my garden.

The woodchuck's got in there last night. They somehow got over the my little chicken wire fence.

And my cucumbers are gone. All these plants. And I've been so excited because it's been raining so much here.

So I'm thinking every time it rains, I thought the roots are getting stronger and we're going to nice cucumbers and

did July and these bad, not to body shame woodchucks or gopers.

It was an upsetting call to get. You, Christian, was there when I got it and you can test.

You were very upset. Very upset. You were you reacted in a way that was reminiscent of a way you might react when you were younger.

I'm sorry. I haven't seen you react like that in quite a while.

And but you know, in those circumstances, sometimes you just have to look in the mirror and say to yourself, don't worry.

Don't worry, darling. It's everything's going to be okay.

I would like the Beach Boys song. Yeah, just like that. Or like the movie that

the friend of the show live you a wild movie. Right. Now, are you calling me? Are you saying I would say to myself, darling?

I would call myself darling. You never refer to yourself as darling? No.

I think of Annie, the darling.
