Hello and welcome to Normally, the show with Normalish takes for when the news gets weird.

I am Carol Markowitz.

Mary Catherine Ham is on vacation, and I've got the amazing Bridget Fettisie sitting in with me today.

Bridget is a writer, comedian, host of the show's dumpster fire and walk-ins welcome, and, and these are

her words because hi, we're about the same age, a geriatric mommy. Hi, Bridget, so nice to have you on.

Why do you have to make us a geriatric mommy? It's a medical term. I didn't

make it up. You have at least children that are teens, right? Yeah, yeah. Mine's four.

I'm like a legit geriatric mommy. You know, I think it keeps you youthful and looking good. It totally does.

I'm just owning the term I'm right I'm just

taking it back yeah that's right you're you're recuperating it from the people who misuse it

against you so we're recording this on Wednesday April 1st it's April Fool's Day like the

worst day of the year on social media have you fallen for any April Fool's jokes today? No, I think April

Fool's Day is for psychopaths. I've always hated April Fool's Day with every part of my being.

And anyone who partakes in it is a psychopath. That's my kind of general theory. All right. I mean,

I fell for one, Ajit Pay said he was going back to the FCC. And I was like, that's awesome. You were so good at it. And he was like, sorry, it was an April Fool's prank. Yeah. Yeah. And he's not a psychopath, but I hear you. I hear you. No, he's not. Well, I think it's also, I think it's also a time for

just men to make jokes and, and women. People can kind of say what they want to say, but they can't

say it on this day. So I'll give people a pass for that or, or people to make, you know,

kind of offensive or lewd jokes and be like, oh, what?

It was just April Fool's Day.

Right.
