Googleing Palm Springs Hotels to see if there was any last minute Saturday night Palm Springs deal where I could go for a small amount of money and be by the pool for a second.

And then imagine my horror when I realized that I was googling Palm Springs Hotels for Coachella weekend.

This is Coachella next weekend's Coachella and after that a stage coach so no

Palm Springs for you for several weeks. That's okay. Or by the way the Hotels weren't not at all affordable.

Probably had something to do with Coachella seriously. I also had forgotten and then remembered it's usually a very big event on the bachelor calendar.

But yeah I mean that's how I honestly it's kind of how it came to light I was just doing a check-in on bachelor reddit.

Now it's like oh here's pictures of people at Coachella okay we're going to talk more about Coachella but first I'm going to catch you up and what happened.

Yeah I mean I saw what happened on the internet. I logged on to the internet and I saw a lot of people tweeting about Netflix technical difficulties.

And then I saw that you and Cali weren't going to be able to podcast which is a loss to the community at large.

Definitely to really fuck this over. Yeah programming note our podcast was gone from being recorded Sunday night and going up immediately to be recorded Tuesday morning.

I'm sorry but we're busy Netflix tech screwed us over and the NBA playoffs are happening and unfortunately sometimes that has to be precedent.

So they really fucked it up. The first indication I got that something was wrong was on your Instagram story which is I that's that's kind of my priority.

I'm checking the internet. I'm opening Instagram. I make myself like look through the feed first and then I look at stories as a reward.

Oh interesting and then and then I go to like Twitter and the internet at large right but Instagram is my happy place.

So I started I always check out you're at the top of my algorithm just so you know I don't miss a story.

And I thought you were leading with the right sentiment. Would you like to share what you posted.
