Hi, Anna. Hi, Tina. You look amazing today. How are you? I am fantastic. Thank you.

We are going to a wedding later. So I was telling John all morning. I'm like, I got a

tight ship today. I'm off work. We got to go to the coffee cart. I got to record the podcast. I got to do my makeup and get ready. Anyway, it's a long list of things we have to do. And I changed the schedule on you. You actually changed it for the better though. I thought about it. I'm like, okay, this is good. We bumped it up. So now, anyway, it doesn't matter. But the reason Hannah is saying that we can see each other. And I warned her before she logged in. I'm like, just so you know, I have a full face of makeup on. It's 10 a.m. in our time. So I'm like, there's lashes. There's everything. So don't think I'm insane because we do have somewhere to go after this.

I well you know I mean I you're lucky if I get on eyebrows and mascara. So, right. You're talking to the right kind of person. You are definitely good. What am I trying to say? You're great at makeup. Thanks so much. When I said earlier, I just say, you know, I have a full beat. Have you ever heard that term before? No, I haven't. I was like, I think she

just means like a full face of makeup, but that's exactly what I meant. And I said it to somebody else before. I cannot remember the context, but I was like, oh, I have a full beat. And they're like, what are you talking about? And that's when I realize I'm like, I think I'm in too deep with beauty YouTube because I'm like oh I thought that was just like normal vernacular but at any
