Hey, everybody. It is Thursday, June 15th. You're listening to the Mo news podcast. I'm Mochewanunu.

And I'm Jill Wagner. This is the place where we bring you just the facts and reread all the news

and read between the lines. So you don't have to. I just want to tell everybody that I told

you that she did not have to record a podcast on her birthday. And she's like, oh, great.

Like, I'm going to go out to dinner with my family and enjoy the evening. And then your

co-host here gets a text message from Jill. She's coming back from her birthday dinner saying,

hey, have you recorded yet? I don't want it back in.

No. Okay. First of all, much appreciated that you very, very graciously gave me the day off.

And it was awesome. And it allowed me to have kind of distress free birthday. And I had said even

when we spoke earlier, I said, listen, depending on how many glasses of wine I wanted to having at

dinner, that will be the basis for whether or not I do the podcast. So I'll text you and kind of

keep you in the loop if I'm going to do it or not. And I went to dinner. I had one glass of wine.

It was wonderful. I had a great time with my family. I came home. I had to do bedtime. Any sort

of like happiness buzz that I had went away. And I'm like, you know what? I'm up. I may as well

do the podcast. All right. So the headline tonight is Jill is sober on her birthday and wanted

back at it on the podcast. Well, Jill, take it away. All right. Let's get to some news here.
