Hello, everybody, and welcome back to Cause I Said So, episode Lucky Number 13.

Woo. Hello, Alex. Hey, Mom. How's it going? Good. You are back. I'm back in New York. How were your two weeks off? It took me one week to rest and get my bearings back. And then the second week was great. So Kim has had, Kim, my mom, has had the last two weeks off of being in New York. She was home.

But I was still working. Of course you were. No one's doubting your skill and dedication

to the game, mom. Thanks. But you were home and last week we had Graham on the podcast. But

we zoomed the week before that. So now you're back. I

texted you while you were home and I said, mom, guess what? You're going to have to come to New York for two months straight.

Because what was happening was you would come out here and then you would go back to Oklahoma. So my mom has a place out here in New York now, but she still commutes between Oklahoma, which is where we're from and New York. And she was doing two weeks on, two weeks off. Turns out, it takes about two weeks to get in the step of things. To get momentum. To get momentum. And then, like, she would leave. And then we'd be struggling at both ends. So it was like we were constantly trying to play catch up, and then we were like,

here's a novel idea.

Mom, you come out here for two months.

Well, that was your novel idea, but we'll see how it works. It might be novel. It might be the worst thing we've ever done. Yeah, we'll see. I did miss you while you were gone. Why missed you when I was gone? I also took about two seconds for you to kind of get frustrated with me.

Well, I walk in and you're like, I can't post this Instagram story to my Instagram story.

And I'm like, ah. You're like, well, it's the, okay, great, welcome back, mom. I'm telling you, I know that you don't believe me, but my phone has stuff on there that yours doesn't. I know that that's definitely not true. It's true. Does yours give you the friend option every single time? Close friends, yes.

You are not the only person in the United States whose iPhone does a certain thing.

Why does it do it only part time?

It just doesn't do it only part time.

So Kim's new thing is she thinks that her Instagram account just gives her the options to post a close friends on

occasion. It does. Only on occasion. I'm going to take a screenshot it from here on out when it

does it. You'll be screenshot every time you post a story. No, I'm going to screenshot it when it doesn't

give me that option. Okay. So Kim, hold on, pause. Everybody pause, by the way. Could you like

subscribe and send this podcast to a friend i forgot

that's important to say um okay back to it so also also what i think we have we have something new
