Hello, hello, hello, hello, welcome to the Nordy, the Nice show. I'm your host, Rob Shooter, and it's Thursday.

Normally on Thursdays, our dear friend Mark Lupo Lupi joins us.

He cannot today, but it's not his fault.

I should be really clear about that.

I'm on TV all morning.

In fact, I think throughout the day talking about Kate Middleton,

who has been hospitalized.

And so I'm going to be all over TV.

They're really great, though, because they really do plug our podcast.

And one of the reasons this show has expanded, has grown, is because I'm always out there doing

publicity, doing press.

And so I never, ever turned down the opportunities.

It's like in life, wouldn't she say no, they find somebody else.

And then they stop asking.

So I'm always from the school of saying, yes.

Well, what this means, though, for us this morning is that time-wise, I couldn't quite fit it together with Mark.

So once again, not Mark's fault.

He's the most

reliable. Really, I think, maybe the top co-host. He's never really missed a show. In fact,

Mark even travels with his microphone. That's how amazing. Mark is he has a work ethic like

nobody else. Kevin Jonas, the boyfriend of you're listening. Hello, hello, hello. Put a ring on it. He is a good man. So, Mark, not with us today, but don't worry, Nauties. We have got a lot to talk about. So let's jump right into the show. What time is it, my friends? It is tea time. As I mentioned, big, big story at the top of the show.

Kate Middleton, this is stunning.
