Or it was raining. So we were like inside a lot. I had gorgeous weather up in Lake Michigan. I'm not going to lie. Gargous. That's why I wasn't on my my TV. I did get to go to the Casamigos game last week. It wasn't called the Cosamigos game. I'm calling it that. As you should. Honestly, you should be calling it the Real Housewives of Rhode Island game. Right. It was pretty wild. So thank you to Cosamigos for hosting me in the suite. Kelsey and Rosie, for those who watch Rory, as I like to call it. Roeary. Roery. Yeah, there you go. Roery. Posted with the picture. Yep. A little smile. and then basically didn't talk to Rowry. Posted the picture. Yep.

for Norway. I know you are. I identify this. I'm Norwegian. Norwegians. Even though

1:47.6

I quite literally couldn't look less Norwegian if I tried. Blonde on that head. Not even close.

1:53.5

What was I was going to say is that France in these early stages I think it's almost boring to watch because they're too good.

1:59.6

Yeah, I get it. And so they really kicked Sweden's ass. But it was a really fun experience. And to be back in Jersey, you know, my home state to watch soccer was great. Good. So glad. Yeah.
