| 0:18.3 | How are you? |
| 0:20.3 | I'm good. I was just lamenting about how my body is dumb. No, it's not dumb. Well, it's frustrating. Yeah. Because I will be exhausted. And the minute my head hits the pillow, it goes, should we look at our phone or watch a movie? Or maybe clean up a little bit? Yeah. I have the issue too. I also like, my go-to is the phone. But sometimes there are times where if I do turn off the lights and I am fully laying down, I'm trying to go sleep and it's not happening, then I'll journal. Try that. Doesn't always help.

| 1:44.6 | It's not nice to say she's having a tough time on tour and then laugh. |
| 1:49.4 | But she almost fell out of the damn sky on that, like, horse thing. |
| 1:53.6 | Apparently she got electrocuted recently. |
| 1:54.8 | She got electrocuted. |
| 1:55.7 | Her whole ass husband left her. |

| 2:00.7 | It's not great. But it is wild. Yeah. It's not funny. It's not great. |
| 2:01.4 | But it is wild. |
