Hello, everyone and welcome back to parked car convos. I'm Maddie Mitchell and I'm your host today and always because, well, this is literally my podcast so who else is going to host it

happy freaking Monday it is Monday may something I'm recording this episode the Wednesday prior yeah that's right

a moment of silence or a round of applause whatever you see fit um i'm actually recording this

episode late at night and by late at night i mean 845 that to me extremely late especially to be

doing anything resembling productive so i'm feeling honestly on top of the world right now i've been

i've been very productive this week

not toot my own horn but toot toot bitch. I'm currently sitting recording the podcast with a glass

of wine because this is a gossip episode and that just feels like what this episode is calling for a fat glass of savi bee nice crisp

cold savi bee and um honestly i'm in a fabulous mood and i think we're going to have a fabulous

episode here because this gossip i posted today asking you guys to write in with gossip because I realized this afternoon

that I was going to want to record tonight. And usually when it's like last minute, I feel like

it never works out the way that I wanted to. And I never get a lot of submissions or the submissions aren't as juicy and salacious

as I'm looking for. When I say you guys delivered, oh, you delivered. Oh, you simply delivered.

And I'm really excited to dive into all of that with you. But I hope you had a fabulous weekend.

I hope you're feeling well rested and

rejuvenated and ready to tackle whatever life might throw at you this week. And I don't think

that that's asking too much of your favorite podcast host. Before we get into the gossip,

let's jump into peak and valley of the week. My peak of the week is that yesterday, last night, I hit 500,000 followers on

TikTok, which is crazy, just simply so insane. So that was cool. That was kind of a little cool. It's I have like no way of contextualizing or like

wrapping my head around like just how many people half a million is. Like I do you know what I mean?

It's like I know that big number good, but I don't I don't know like how to process it beyond that. And obviously huge milestone. I'm elated.

I'm feeling very proud and very honored that that many people like me enough to press
