Good morning, millennials. Welcome back to the morning toast. Happy Monday. Hey, Claude, how are you doing?

It's not only Monday. It is happy last Monday before Jackie goes on her maternity leave. So I think the better question is, Jackie, how are you doing?

Thank you for asking. I know as I said it, I was going to say like, this is my last happy Monday for a while, but I just feel like that's too sad for everyone. I didn't want to remind everyone that it's true.

This is my last Monday on the show for a while. And I'm doing good. I mean, I'm more out of breath than ever. So just bear with bear with me.

Did you listen to my story the other day when I was talking about how I get so out of breath on podcasts?

Because I watch your stories with sound because I respect you. Thank you so much. Well, you've been doing close captioning because you respect me. And I appreciate that.

Yes, but if you listen to the most recent episode of the redheads where I really like host and I talk a lot. Yeah, at one point it sounds like I'm about to break down and start crying.

Like everyone else was just like waiting for me to stop and we all started laughing so hard. I was so out of breath. And they were like, how does that not happen to you on the toast?

And I was like, Claudia never lets me speak for this long. And that's why like what I do is so important. You know, I didn't even realize how much oxygen you're saving me by cutting me off of.

See, that's the thing. Like I care so much about the health and wellness of you and your child that I won't let you speak because I know it's not good for you. You know.

Yeah, no, you're such a giver. Thank you so much. You know what? Not to cut you off.

I actually like people always say like, Claudia never lets Jackie talk. Yeah, I know. And if it was something I could control, like I swear to God, I would stop. It's no disrespect to you at all.

I did listen to another pot. I won't say what it was. I listened to another podcast this weekend with two hosts. And my God, one of them did not shut the fuck up.

And I was like, let this other person get a word in it. And I'm like, oh my God. Is this how people feel listening to our show?

I wonder and I'm so curious to know what podcast you listen to. I'll tell you after just the one that was talking like is like just kind of annoying. And like that's literally me.

Like I am really concerned now that I'm giving off the same energy and to everyone who's ever had to listen to an episode of this podcast. Like I do apologize.

But you know what I realized? Okay, two things. I'm going to say one first. I listened to another podcast a while ago and one person was cutting off the other person. I was like, well, what was the other person going to say? Can you shut up?

But sometimes you cut me off when like I wasn't going to say anything much more impactful saving you kind of like saving me and making it look like you're leaving them wanting more.

But I had nothing to say. No, if anything like I'm the villain of this podcast and I'm only helping your like Q ratings go up.

Thank you so much.

That's what I that's why I do what I do honestly.

You're such a giver. We so appreciate it.
