Okay, this is going to be interesting.

Here we go.

Hi, everybody.

Welcome back to Bill Wednesday with Tara and Haley.

I'm Tara and Haley's not here.

I am flying solo for the first time on pod today because our sweet Haley girl, after over three years of somehow

dodging it, finally got hit with the COVID stick. So she is on the mend and resting up.

Y'all, when I tell you, you all know that it's mine and Haley's job to listen to each other's voices,

right? We're always, you know, in communication with each other, talking about episodes, planning

episodes, listening back to episodes. And when I tell you that she sent me a voice memo the other day

and I did not recognize her voice on the other end of the phone, I am not exaggerating.

So hopefully by the time this airs, she'll be, you know, really on the end and we'll be back

to recording episodes together. But, you know, really on the end and we'll be back to

recording episodes together.

But, you know, a couple months ago, we were kind of talking about our upcoming schedules.

And interestingly, this month, Haley and I were both going out of town.

I was going to Chicago and a couple days after I got back.

She was going to Italy.

So we knew that we wouldn't be able to spend a lot of time together this month recording

and backlogged a lot of episodes.

But we kind of started talking about a contingency plan should one of us, you know, not be able

to record.
