Hello, gorgeous. Welcome to the Give Them Lala podcast. I have never been so hyped in my mother effing life.

You guys know I live under a rock. I find things out two months after they happen. But today, we are going to be in the effing no when it comes to pop culture because I have

Christy Cook with Spill Sesh and I'm so excited.

And Easton's excited too.
