I'm welcome to book talk, et cetera.

A podcast bound to grow your TVR.

Hi, Anna.

Hi, Tina. How are you? I'm great. How are you? Good. We got our little chit-chats out, which is nice. Got the wiggles out. We got our wiggles out. We got our wiggles out.

And it's a sunny. Oh, go ahead. I was just going to say, I'm in a good mood today. I'm feeling prepped. It's a sunny day. We took a little walk this morning. I walked down my treadmill. So I am just energized. Yeah, I can tell. It helps that it is a bright and sunny day after quite the weather week in the Midwest. Oh, we had some great storms. I mean, it was like, so we had a thunderstorm overnight, and it was early. It was like maybe 6 a.m. And like, it was just so much lightning. And then it would thunder, you know, lightning on one side, thunder on the other. And it was like, I was like, I was like, staring at Jonathan. I'm like, wake up, wake up, wake up. And then he like literally like cracked it. I was like, it's raining It's a thunder for me. He's like, I'm aware. But I was so I don't know. I was like so excited. Last year when I like first joined the podcast, it was we were getting some kind of I think, yeah, spring and summer storms. And I was like recording the lightning. Because I'd never seen lightning like this before. And I remember that I messaged you and John. And look at this lightning. And both you and John were like super into it. And I was like, I found the right people. This is it. Well, if you like to talk weather, you've certainly found the right people because there's nothing. Jonathan is known in our neighborhood though. It's really funny for like like if there's like you know a tornado warning or something like they'll he doesn't respond to most group texts but if there's something weather related like he's on it he's like well I've looked at the radar it's coming the other day I think I told you this he came home from practice literally three minutes later the tornado sirens went off. And he just timed it perfectly.

I was like, how did you know?

He's like, I looked at the radar.

The radar.

Well, excuse me.
