Okay.

Hot potato, hot potato.

Can you introduce this episode, Aaron, today?

Well, everybody, welcome good day.

What's good, everybody, and welcome back to Good Influences.

It is a podcast, if you weren't aware.

Today, you know, most days we just dive, divulge into deep topics. And today we're going to take a stab at Hot Takes. That was pretty good. Really good job. What's your name? Oh, yeah, you didn't intro us. My name is Erin. This is Matt, Carly and Contro, and Mike Schaeffer. And today, like I said,

we're going to be talking about hot takes, real fun, hot topics. And another really fun thing about

today's hot takes is majority of the episode will be listener-based because so, so, so many

of you send in hot takes. And I think it's going to be really, really fun. And if you ever want to contribute to our podcast, you can email us at Good Influences Podcasts at gmail.com.

Each week we do have a very, you know, topical episode.

And we most of the time posted on our Instagram the week prior.

So follow us there and you too can be a part of

the gang over at good influences. Hot take. That was a good mad impression. Thank you so much.

I love that we're doing this as a topic because it can branch off to so many different things.

even a little bit confused earlier. A hot take is a controversial opinion, maybe an unpopular opinion,

something that you believe to be true that maybe can go against the grain. Maybe it's a little bit

socially different than what other people believe. And it's like what you...

I feel like a pretty common hot take is like oatmeal raisin cookies are better than like chocolate
