Hi, I'm Otto. Welcome to Ellen says, put the cost.

Okay, so we just wanted to say that this episode, we recorded a few weeks ago.

Obviously, at the top of everyone's thoughts and conversations are the school shooting in Texas.

And we are, like, it's all we can think about personally as someone who has children, the age of the children that were, like, savvishly murdered.

So I'm pretty fucked up. I can't really think of much of anything.

Thinking about this and, but Thursdays are when our episodes come out and we recorded this a few weeks ago.

A divorce episode a few weeks ago and so we're going to air it, but we just wanted to take a moment to acknowledge what happened for us yesterday for the listeners two days ago.

Yes, we were filming a commercial and we're in hair and makeup and all the sudden the news feed started coming up on everyone's phones.

And we all just sat around looking at each other going, is this really fucking happening again?

After Sandy Hook, when you really think like, okay, this will never happen again because we will take such strict precautions, things will change.

This will never be able to happen again. And here we are 10 years later.

Well, it's easy for it to happen when the laws don't change.

So anyway, we won't get into a political conversation because that's not why people come here.

We want you to come here for an escape and to learn and to learn about relationships and bettering yourself.

And that is what we're going to do here today.

We will not dive into that. We will do that on our personal Instagrams.

I was about to say, but it is like, you know, like, yes, here we will keep it light.

But in our lives and our personal lives with our friends, with our co-workers, with people, with our own social media, we are very outspoken about where we stand on these issues.

So you can come there and find all that.

We have a lot of opinions on it, but we have made a conscious effort to keep our podcasts sort of in a specific lane.

And so this before, there are plenty of podcasts you can go to to have political arguments, political debates.

And on our personal Instagrams, you will get a very clear understanding how we feel about things.
