All right, what is up best friends welcome to this special edition of Pillows and Beer

with my trusty best friend slash co-host Craig Conover and of course Nick Norris joining us in

Virgin, yeah, we have such an awesome podcast today

um, I believe that we've decided to dub this the official first episode of the third season. No, we're not doing that. No,

why not? This is the end of the second season. Oh, it is the finale of the second season. It is? Yeah, we start in the third season next week with a special guest. Okay. Okay. Okay. So season three will be all guest and

this is our last podcast without a guest for a while.

I thought it was going to be the first episode because we have so much to unpack, but okay. All right. Fine. I don't even think it's part of the season. It's a, you just called it a special episode.

Yeah, well, it is a special episode because there's so much that we have to unpack from the past week. I mean, starting with we, we've

moved to New York last Tuesday, right? So three days prior to Bravo Con because we had a live pillows and beer show. That's right. And that was the first show of our second

of our second leg. Yeah. I mean, what, what a fun show it was. I'm so nervous. So I actually couldn't

I don't know why, but I just, I was so stressed out leading up to that show. I actually was too. And I was showing it and Craig was like, we're fine. We're fine.

And, and I was like, I mean, yeah, we've done eight of these things. Why am I kind of nervous today? And I guess it was just because we hadn't been on stage in a while.

We hadn't done it a while and on the show and you're right. We hadn't done it in a while. And I was like, was it a fluke? Like was the first eight or nine shows of fluke?

Right. I was thinking. And look, if you don't have butterflies and you're not nervous, you probably don't care. So I think it's good to have nerves.

But I mean, we had not only was it so much fun, but we had so much support by friends and family who were like back in the green room, you know, just kind of hanging out.

We haven't had that many people back in the green room Craig since our very first show in DC. I mean, there were, there were lots of folks back there and lots of friends that in faces that you would probably recognize. Right.

It was like, of course, Paige and Kyle were back there at Amanda and then my sister was back there and Jason was back there and Danielle and Robert and it was just a lot of fun.

Everyone was like in a high, high spirit. Yeah, it's usually having that many people back there. Like doesn't relax me, but it actually put me in high spirits.

But having all our best friends there was the best part and we'll get to that because we met so many people at BravoCon and I now know the right way for someone to come up is to be like, hey, I'm one of your best friends, but we'll get to that.

That is something that we should get to because it threw me off the first few times and it's amazing that it's stuck.

So the show, fortunately, went great. You will look also I'm nervous because I always think people aren't going to come, which I know it doesn't make any sense. And I'm like, what if we like look out there and no one's there. And so this time when I was pulling up, there's a line on the block and I was like, OK, people are here.

As soon as I saw the line, I was like, we're going to be OK. And there's a famous crossword puzzle, Clue. And it says a party planners worst nightmare. And the answer is no show. And it's so true. Like every single event that I throw, whether for drop up and of course for pillows and beer, you're like, what if I mean, I know that we sold, you know, X amount of tickets. But what if it's an empty crowd, right?
